  1. Taking away women's rights and also blaming them for any consequences if they don't follow every known method to avoid an unwanted pregnancy in other words right? How about taking it to the ultimate. After all, women cannot get pregnant in normal circumstances without a very willing man. How about the man take some responsibility. Ensure he doubles up on condoms, heck why not ensure he checks that the woman is taking adequate prevention measures. After the act that same man then needs to ensure that a pregnancy test was carried out within the 6 week period, you know, just in case the period is late or irregular. Then perhaps he should be the one who has obtained the abortion pill so he can hand a couple over to the woman, again all within this 6 week period, oh wait, they're trying to ban that too! Seems that some men want it all their own way and just don't care for the consequences that the woman could be left with.
  2. Some more info on him: "Some Discord members showed The Washington Post video of Teixeira shouting racist and antisemitic slurs before firing a rifle." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/13/jack-teixeira-discord-document-leak/
  3. Absolutely, it not only affects the women but also the children: Women who are denied abortions risk falling deeper into poverty. So do their kids "I defaulted on student loans that I was navigating," she says. She'd been studying to be a paralegal but had left without a degree. Within about a year, she also defaulted on credit card payments, which eventually led to her meager checks being garnished. At one point, she juggled three jobs — one of them full time — trying to make it all work. "It was certainly rough." https://www.npr.org/2022/05/26/1100587366/banning-abortion-roe-economic-consequences
  4. Thomas’s obligation to report the real estate deal couldn’t be clearer. He had reported the property as an asset. Selling it was a transaction that necessitated disclosure. The Ethics in Government Act requires judges, like other senior officials, to file annual financial reports, and sets out the consequences for failing to comply. It further provides that the relevant party, which in the case of judges is the Judicial Conference, “shall refer to the Attorney General the name of any individual which such official or committee has reasonable cause to believe has willfully failed to file information required to be reported.” A violation can result in a fine under the criminal code. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/04/13/clarence-thomas-real-estate-deal-ethics-harlan-crow/
  5. You should check the definitions of "migrant encounters." Jan- Illegal crossings by migrants from the four countries were down more than 95 percent https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/02/01/us-border-crossings/ Unlawful entries along U.S.-Mexico border plummeted in January after expansion of migrant expulsions https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-us-mexico-border-numbers-january-2023-migrant-expulsions/ Stricter U.S. migration controls keep illegal border crossings at 2-year low — for now https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-border-crossings-us-mexico-february-2-year-low/
  6. They did in some states with almost no difference
  7. Incredibly naive to think that in Florida, schools are not required to teach sex education yet half of Florida’s 12th graders had already had sexual intercourse. Then expect all those adolescents to have adequate information from somewhere. That you then expect a political decision to just switch off access to abortion where overwhelming evidence shows the futility of restrictions and bans in stopping abortions. Upholding reproductive rights is crucial for the health of women and girls. But then you're a man speaking on what they should do, as is DeSantis and his clowns.
  8. That's just not accurate, there is no month and a half window. Most pregnancy tests are recommended only when you miss a period. so the window is extremely small and its one which every sexually active women would need to take every month if you don't want a child. Or if you are unsure when your period is due then a 3 week period is recommended.
  9. Abortion is essential healthcare and women’s health must be prioritized over politics The systematic denial of timely access to safe abortion services is discriminatory and reflects a gendered power struggle involving the instrumentalization of women's bodies aimed at subjecting them to a patriarchal agenda. Unfortunately, restrictions and bans are not a thing of the past. Despite overwhelming evidence showing the futility of restrictions and bans in stopping abortions, and the harms caused, political actors in different parts of the world have been using their power to deny women and girls their constitutionally protected rights and freedoms. https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2021/09/abortion-essential-healthcare-and-womens-health-must-be-prioritized-over Why restricting access to abortion damages women’s health https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004075
  10. Yet you made that claim based on the quote you highlighted which was: "for rape and incest, and also for risk of life/substantial health risk" So even more exaggeration on your part then?
  11. Yes but that's not how it works, you made a claim, its up to you to back it up. Unless you do your usual "I DON'T CARE"
  12. Why not you ask me? Then you answer it yourself, yes its a matter of taste..........
  13. Can you provide a link to the precise calculation on abortions for "for rape and incest, and also for risk of life/substantial health risk"
  14. I also don't believe he's a secret nazi but, if I was a billionaire like him I doubt very much that I would have a collection of paintings by Adolf Hitler, a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and a set of swastika-emblazoned napkins.
  15. Disturbing, one can only hope women and their partners vote to get this imbecile out in the next cycle. The extended provision of up to 15 weeks if due to rape or endangering a women's life is far from adequate, what happens to those who are over 15 weeks. “This ban would prevent four million Florida women of reproductive age from accessing abortion care after six weeks — before many women even know they’re pregnant,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement issued after Thursday’s vote. “This ban would also impact the nearly 15 million women of reproductive age who live in abortion-banning states throughout the South, many of whom have previously relied on travel to Florida as an option to access care.” https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-approved-c9c53311a0b2426adc4b8d0b463edad1
  16. Think of the bright side, 36% want Trump to run....lol & this OP is from Fox News, not right wing enough for you?
  17. This was the day before these latest revelations...... CLC Seeks Referral of Justice Thomas to DOJ for Violations Washington, D.C. – This week, Campaign Legal Center (CLC) submitted a letter to the committee of federal judges with authority to refer Justice Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Attorney General for potential criminal and civil penalties related to violating the Ethics in Government Act. https://campaignlegal.org/press-releases/clc-seeks-referral-justice-thomas-doj-violations
  18. On the back of that................. Clarence Thomas’ Mom Definitely Still Lives in the House the Billionaire Bought The reporters noted that they were certain Thomas’ mother lived in this house through 2020, per public records and social media, and that her neighbors said she still lives there. But Slate can confirm that she resides in the house to this day. Two weeks ago, Joel Anderson interviewed her there for the upcoming season of Slow Burn. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/clarence-thomas-mom-billionaire-house.html
  19. Not if MTG had her way! Marjorie Taylor Greene defends alleged Pentagon leaker as ‘white, male, christian, and antiwar’ Marjorie Taylor Greene has defended the Air National Guardsman arrested by the FBI for allegedly leaking national security documents. The far-right Republican lawmaker took to Twitter to show her support for Jack Teixeira who she lauded for being “white, male, christian and antiwar” – although she referred to him as “Jake Teixeira”. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/taylor-greene-teixeira-document-leaks-b2319522.html
  20. He's just left after spending 7 hours in there. Hopefully we'll get some more info soon.
  21. The property of Thailand not so much but she would be welcome in the UK, especially outside the Russian Embassy.
  22. Its all going tits up for Fox, you can listen to a couple of the tapes in the article below: Hear Trump Officials Tell Fox Their Election Fraud Claims Were Bogus In her Tuesday filing, Grossberg claimed that Fox News failed to disclose evidence to Dominion of multiple recordings she made of Giuliani, former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, and “high-ranking” Trump campaign officials admitting they had no proof to back their election fraud claims. She recorded the conversations in November and December 2020 during her time as the senior booking producer of Fox host Maria Bartiromo, who helped promote Team Trump’s voting machine conspiracies. During a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday, the judge in the Dominion case reprimanded Fox News for withholding key evidence in discovery after Dominion lawyers aired some of the recordings in court. https://www.thedailybeast.com/hear-trump-officials-tell-fox-their-election-fraud-claims-were-bogus
  23. May be your reality but the poll says different: 48% say he shouldn't 16% say don't know https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/Half-of-Americans-say-Trump-charges-are-serious
  24. Trump asks to delay sexual assault trial following historic indictment Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a judge to delay the start of a sexual assault and defamation trial for one month to allow a “cooling off” period following the historic indictment charging Trump with falsifying business records. Joe Tacopina, an attorney for Trump, asked the judge overseeing the battery and defamation lawsuit brought by former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll to delay the trial until the end of May. The trial is scheduled to start on April 25. Tacopina said the pool of potential jurors will have the criminal charges “top of mind” when they are called due to intense media coverage and that could taint the jury pool. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/12/politics/e-jean-carroll-trump-lawyers-trial/index.html
  25. Whats radical about that, here's what you even said: "I do not support 3rd trimester abortions except when the woman's life is at risk" Which is the exact same position of California and many states. The majority of the US population is also in agreement. 61%
