JFC! :lol:

There aren’t enough teenage births!
The new legal complaint has additionally come under fire from abortion rights groups and Democrats for appearing to argue that the three states would like to see more teenagers give birth. In a section entitled “Injuries to Plaintiffs’ Population Interests” toward the end of the 199-page filing, it discusses the effects of “loss of fetal life and potential births, leading to a resulting reduction in the actual or potential population of each state.”

The filing cited one study on the effects of the Dobbs decision on fertility, which noted that in states where abortion is banned, birth rates were more likely to increase the farther women seeking abortions have to drive to reach a state where abortion is still legal.


The legal brief said it is “striking” that the study did not find an increase in births for teenagers aged 15-to-19, and stated that the study concluded this may be the result of younger women being better at navigating online resources to order abortion pills through the mail.

“This study thus suggests that remote dispensing of abortion drugs by mail, common carrier, and interactive computer service is depressing expected birth rates for teenaged mothers in plaintiff states,” the complaint said. “A loss of potential population causes further injuries as well,” it added, going on to note the potential loss of “political representation” or access to federal funds.

88DS is getting the best of you.

You have a choice, you can debate with some level of logic, reason and a little humor like BDK or you can go off the deep end and resort to name calling and claiming anyone who disagrees with you in unhinged like Dingleberry. :coffee:

The same thing could be asked of you when it comes to policies in liberal areas.

I'm for common sense which unfortunately, is clearly lacking in the zealous right and the woke left. :D

How a former Trump supporter became YouTube's viral 'woke teen'
Withers’s ultimate goal, he told Yahoo News, has been to disrupt the echo chamber that he says “commonly exists in these far-right communities” online — communities that he once considered himself to be a part of.

Growing up in the conservative town of Grand Junction, Co., Withers said he was socialized by his surroundings and online habits into believing what he now calls “harmful, bigoted beliefs.” Withers was recently embroiled in some controversy when screenshots of messages he wrote several years ago that included anti-gay and racial slurs resurfaced on X. Withers did confirm the screenshots were real and apologized on his platforms and told Yahoo News that at the time he didn’t think anything of using that type of language.

“My mother is an incredibly far-right conspiracy theorist who absolutely loves Donald Trump,” he said. “Going from living under a worldview that your parents teach you, your friends, your school, your society teachers you, your environment teachers you, to starting to think for your own … there’s a lot of cognitive development that happens in that timeframe that can be very important and really shift your perspective.”

Withers told Yahoo News it can be extremely difficult to get out of this mindset — especially online.

“The internet is a place where you can be anonymous and you could say whatever you want and believe in whatever you want to believe in,” he said. “That has led to a lot of people not caring at all what they do or say, which has led to this culture of the perpetuation of terrible beliefs, conspiracy theories and misinformation.”

Speaker of the House mike johnson says about reforming the ACA:
if you take government bureaucrats out of the health care equation and you have a doctor patient relationship it is better for everybody, more efficient more effective. That's the free market.
Now lets apply the same concept to abortion and gender care.

Or is this a free market for me but not for thee situation? Is mikey a hypocrite?

I’m not sure you know what the word liberal means.

I’m also not sure if established wealth and power is a great selling point to MAGA.

[urlhttps://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/1 ... Elementary.]‘Not a political statement’: Houston father confused after his book about tooth fairy vanishes from school library[/url]
A children’s book about a tooth fairy has been removed from a Spring Branch ISD elementary school, despite the author reading the book to students several times in the past at Hunters Creek Elementary.

The book, The Goose Fairy and the Golden Egg, is about a tooth fairy-in-training who has to overcome adversity with a goose by working together while they become friends.

"I wrote this book many years ago when my daughter was really little and there weren’t a lot of depictions of same sex families and so I wanted it as a gift to her," author and father Michael Pearce told KPRC 2.
It's discriminatory to ban books with same sex parents but not those with heterosexual parents. The only way this should be legal is if they're banning books with parents, regardless of sexual orientation. I doubt they're doing that.

A pregnant teenager died after trying to get care in three visits to Texas emergency rooms
Now on Crain’s third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise,” a nurse wrote, before moving her to intensive care. By then, more than two hours after her arrival, Crain’s blood pressure had plummeted and a nurse had noted that her lips were “blue and dusky.” Her organs began failing.

Hours later, she was dead.
...
Texas’s abortion ban threatens prison time for interventions that end a fetal heartbeat, whether the pregnancy is wanted or not. It includes exceptions for life-threatening conditions, but still, doctors told ProPublica that confusion and fear about the potential legal repercussions are changing the way their colleagues treat pregnant patients with complications.
This is pro life?
