Stephen Spoonamore is trying to get Biden to recount the votes. He thinks he has found what is behind Trump's message of don't worry we have the election in the bag.
About buffer zones: when do pro-choice people get to go into Catholic churches during mass and harass worshippers for supporting a church that enables pedophiles?
I've seen discussions about how a federal abortion ban would overrule any pro-choice state laws. What about on Indian reservations? Tribal sovereignty means they're exempt from gambling bans, so why not abortion bans?
The real desire is to limit how much sex you can have. By making you go through with a pregnancy, they hope to discourage what they think is a moral sin - sex for fun.
I screenshotted a quote from some RW nutjob about how "Sex is unnatural":
"The common mode of sexual intercourse is not even natural. Our genitals are not for pleasure, they are for procreation, and that occurs when two people are very much in love and wanting to reproduce.
(better sit down for this next part)
Procreation occurs by the vagina, acting as a vacuum, drawing the flaccid penis inside to a climax and eventually, ejaculation.
The vagina then releases the penis, all the while not disturbing the peacefully sleeping couple."
We can go back to St. Augustine and all of those other early church fathers who concocted the patriarchy and its fear and disgust for women. It all started there. It's another argument for the separation of church and state.
Thank you Jessica for informing us, and for not being scared to do so.
I'm feeling so let down by Morning Joe's Mike and Joe. I watch them and have enjoyed their insights and show for years. To see them admit that they flew to Mar-a-Lago this weekend to make nice with Trump was a gut punch. Very, very scary. Another press outlet that is capitulating. There's a bit more to their story but I feel duped by them and don't trust them anymore. Huge disappointment.
The Greenhouse article is astonishing. So instead of providing safety nets and incentives and real support to people who want to bring children into the world, they are suing to force birth.
Not only is there no safety net, but according to an article in The 19th, OBGYNs are starting to charge women their estimated out of pocket costs for a hospital birth up front at the first or second prenatal visit. This holds their healthcare hostage to that practice and means they have to try and get a refund if they miscarry at home or move or anything changes. This is corporate, for profit healthcare.
See Carmel Shachar and Eli Y. Adashi, "Addressing the HIPAA Blind Spot for Crisis Pregnancy Centers," Health Affairs (Nov. 15, 2024), https://www.healthaffairs.org/content/forefront/addressing-hipaa-blind-spot-crisis-pregnancy-centers. In 2019, there were about 2600 Crisis Pregnancy Centers (CPCs) and 780 abortion clinics. CPCs sometimes claim that they are complying with HIPAA when they collect personal information from clients. The article says that there is a regulatory blind spot within HIPAA, because organizations are not policed to determine if they actually are HIPAA-compliance when they say they are. Most CPCs are not subject to HIPAA anyway because they are no t health care providers--so if they improperly disclose clients' personal information, they cannot be sanctioned for HIPAA violations. Many CPCs say that they will give out information to prevent harm to third parties--which might mean that they report their clients' pregnancies to law enforcement to "protect the child.," It is possible that state attorneys general might have the power to crack down on these CPC abuses--but of course AGs in ban states would have no interest in doing so.
IMPORTANT NEWS FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE IN WYOMING
Wyoming Pro-Choice sent an email that I received at 6:13 PM MT. JESSICA VALENTI, thank you for coming to Wyoming in June to meet us and plaintiffs in this successful decision! Had to share this news here and other places because this is a fantastic decision!
Wyoming’s Abortion Ban Violates the State Constitution!
Judge Melissa Owens just entered a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs who had challenged the constitutionality of Wyoming’s abortion ban!
Judge Owens concluded that the state’s abortion ban impedes “the fundamental right to make health care decisions of an entire class of people, pregnant women. Wyoming Constitution, article I, Section 38 provides all individuals with the fundamental right to their own personal autonomy when making medical decisions. The [State has] not established a compelling governmental interest to exclude pregnant women from fully realizing the protections of the Wyoming Constitution during the entire term of their pregnancies, nor [has the State] established that the [abortion ban accomplishes its] interests.”
Judge Owens found that the abortion ban suspends “a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions during the entire term of a pregnancy and are not reasonable or necessary to protect the general welfare of the people.”
The State will surely appeal this decision to the Wyoming Supreme
First Amendment free speech does not guarantee a personal audience with a disinterested party. The buffer zone should be left alone to continue.
We Need more judges like Judge Melissa Owens.

Why why why are they SO invested in making us have babies????? This is insanity!
They want worker bees.
Cannon fodder.
White population is dropping and those other "colored" people are still having lots of babies.
Within a few decades, at this rate, whites will be a minority.

Yeah, but if birth control = abortion because no conception occurs, then celibacy = abortion because no conception occurs.

It's all about controlling womtn and forcing women to breed like livestock

OMG. I hadn’t read that. What a mess.
Exactly like Anthony Comstock. His only real goal was forcing more white babies.
