And punishing people is also a choice. And unforgiveable when it's so clearly hypocritical. These are the 10 states without expanded Medicaid: Wyoming, Kansas, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Florida All of them except Kansas, now have very harsh anti-abortion laws. And the only reason Kansas doesn't is because the citizens were allowed to vote on in a referendum to guarantee abortion rights.. (The Florida legislature has seen to it that referendums sponsored by citizens will be virtually impossible to get on the ballot. Not so for referendums authorized by the legislature) So, no, it's not about protecting children. It's about punishing women for having sex the way they choose to have it. Children Are Left Behind When States Fail to Expand Medicaid Growing numbers of uninsured children are concentrating in states that have not expanded Medicaid. While Medicaid expansion was designed to help uninsured adults who could not afford private insurance, the policy change also benefits children. Extending access to Medicaid coverage for adults benefits the whole family by providing continuous access to care and improving reproductive health https://ccf.georgetown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Kids-and-Medicaid-expansion_2-19.pdf

What BS "Actions have consequences". Some of those consequences are imposed by punitive humans. And if you make a mistake in those places where such conditions are imposed, you should pay by being forced to endure your body going through huge changes for 9 months. But one thing you've revealed about yourself. Your claim to support a 15 week limit is obviously false. So, thanks for giving yourself away.

What you don't seem to understand is that the price of gold was artificially fixed at $35 because of the gold standard until Nixon let it float. Actually a lot of the rises in stocks occurred because Republicans legalized stock buybacks which before than were rightfully considered price manipulation.

Maybe you wouldn't object, but clearly state legislatures do. There's been plenty of time for the same state legislatures that profess concern about unborn children to do something about the welfare of those already born. But as in the case of Medicaid expansion, , the states that are most protective of so-called unborn children, couldn't give a rat's @$$ about them once they are born.

Really? Maybe that would happen if the Beaver's and Wally's parents separated. Bur for single mother familes the father generally pays child support.? Only 1 in 4 Single-Mother Families Receive Child Support According to 2019–2021 data in the KIDS COUNT® Data Center, just 24% of U.S. female-headed families reported receiving any amount of child support during the previous year. Female-headed families refer to unmarried women living with one or more of their own children under age 18, which may include stepchildren and adopted children. One in three kids — nearly 24 million — lives with single parents, mostly single moms. In fact, according to 2022 Census Bureau data, of the 10.9 million one-parent families with children under age 18, 80% were headed by a mother. https://www.aecf.org/blog/only-1-in-4-single-mother-families-receive-child-support

Nothing convoluted about Thomas not disclosing the $15,000 he received for selling the property. He apparently violated the law. And there's still the question of whether his mother had to pay rent which would be especially interesting if it turned out Thomas was helping to support her before the sale.

Texas anti-masturbation bill moves closer to becoming law Under the Man’s Right to Know Act, Texan men would be fined $100 for every 'unregulated masturbatory emission' - although they may be reassured to learn this is a satirical bill highlighting how women have been targeted by anti-abortion laws. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/texas-antimasturbation-bill-fine-for-masturbating-illegal-jessica-farrar-house-bill-4260-man-s-right-to-know-act-abortion-laws-women-s-reproductive-rights-health-right-to-life-right-to-choose-a7669866.html

Markets Jump as Wholesale Inflation Falls U.S. equities gained as a surprising decline in producer prices boosted optimism that the Federal Reserve might ease back on interest rate hikes to fight inflation. The Dow and S&P 500 were up more than 1%, and the Nasdaq added 2%. It was the first time in a week that all three rose on the same day. The possibility of lower borrowing costs benefits tech stocks, and they helped power the advance. https://www.investopedia.com/markets-jump-as-wholesale-inflation-falls-7480627
