I don't know if this is the right place to add this comment, but this is my vote for continuing the podcast as often as possible. I like to listen at work to keep up with the news.
I'm a middle-aged woman with ADHD and chronic pain and my brain doesn't want to focus on the printed word anymore. Audio is perfect! It's much more accessible for me. The podcast is the main reason I subscribe.
But, if it's too much extra work for you, I do understand.
What did you learn this weekend? I learned that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is apparently fluent in Braille, because she sure was using it to communicate with her date a few days ago at a performance of “Beetlejuice” where the two were kicked out after Boebert sang and continued vaping even after a woman nearby asked her to stop. Oh, and fondling. Her date had his hands all over Bobo’s boobs, and she was returning the favor with a handy. Yep. Hand to gland combat. Right there in front of everyone. They were not being subtle about it. At least people usually cover that shit up with a blanket on the plane. And here I thought Republicans were against government handouts.
***Gianna & Pietro Molla Maternity Home requires residents to “attend Sunday Mass, take part in a nightly prayer and participate in grace before meals.” What makes this even worse is that most of the women this organization serves are Native American.***
And maybe the reason Republicans don't expect us to believe what they say, is that most of the time THEY don't believe what they say. To a Republican, the expectation is that everything everywhere is a lie. Was Cameron lying on the questionnaire, or lying now? Yes.
Republicans in tandem with Evangelicals and Trump (and a complicit Supreme Court) have opened Pandora’s box. I hope very much that the chaos they have created to torture other humans results in the Republican Party completely cannibalizing itself.
We have to understand why they're trying to get away with the 15 weeks stuff. A lot of people don't understand it. The chief justice of the supreme court, who is many things but I don't think stupid is one of them, asked why 15 weeks wouldn't be long enough. People think 15 weeks can still be 'pro-choice'. Remember Roberts wasn't ready to overturn Roe but he did want to rule in favor of Mississippi's law.
That's why we NEED the stories, to explain why the availability of abortion care throughout pregnancy is necessary.
It just hit me that the scenario below is probably what a lot of the anti's actually believes happens. Hell, since at least one of them believes that the mouth is connected to the vagina.... ehh.

What the ever-living-fuck? Is this 1830?
Great newsletter again today, thank you Jessica!
Jessica, you're not bitter; you're right.

I knew it wouldn't take them long to replicate the Magdalene Laundries. "Maternity Ranches", my foot! More like human puppy mills.

Whoa, what a newsletter. Hard to pick what pissed me off the most, but if I had to, it would be abortion tourism. I can just picture it.
Hi Susie. I need an abortion. I think I'll go to Hawaii so I can get a tan afterwards. Sheesh
