JVNO posted:It takes a very repugnant kind of person to make a joke like that; especially if you realize those vanishingly few cases of late term abortions occur for wanted children. Literally shaming women who had to abort to save their life. Some what related, if you're a woman, make sure you never go to a "religious" hospital. Also if you're a man, don't go either because they're probably ignore your living will.

PhazonLink posted:Some what related, if you're a woman, make sure you never go to a "religious" hospital. When my wife moved here when she was pregnant, we went looking for someplace to continue her prenatal care. A friend recommended a clinic run by a Catholic organization. When we were first trying to sign up, she said some things that may have suggested that she would get an abortion if there were a problem with the fetus. (Not explicitly, just really anxious about finding out if there was anything wrong with the fetus, like first and foremost.) We needed to sign up for medicaid before they'd see her. The guy who was helping us (because if you're an immigrant it is ridiculously difficult and was actually impossible to do without calling people on unpublished supervisor support lines at the time) strung us along for weeks before we gave up and went somewhere else, where we got the medicaid application done in about an hour and a half, and signed up with a different (secular) clinic across town in minutes. I can't prove that they were screwing around and withholding care because of religious bullshit, but it sure looked that way to me. Never again. (The baby was fine, BTW)

(Example, making abortion illegal after 25 weeks.) Because all it does is give anti-choice jackasses a time limit to stall for and a motivation/incentive to pass obstructive and burdensome TRAP laws designed solely to shut down clinics and make women waste time so they naturally fall out of the time frame for legal abortion.

Late term abortions are very important if needed. For instance if the baby is going to be born into a short life of suffering, or the mother is in danger of death. But conservatives persist in misunderstanding them as murdering healthy babies for giggles. And they are the very people who will be most reluctant about paying for the expenses of a severely disabled child, or the raising of children who lost their mother in childbirth.

What scientific backing went into not allowing late term abortions? I have a former high school friend that is anti abortion but all of her "evidence" is purely scripture. Another thing is apparently they call themselves abolitionists which is pretty disgusting to me.

Most of it revolves around whether the fetus can feel pain at that stage in development. But if a fetus can feel pain then surely squishing it like a toothpaste tube through the most powerful muscles in the body for hours on end without anesthesia must be absolutely excruciating, but I don't see them even mentioning that.

Another thing is apparently they call themselves abolitionists which is pretty disgusting to me. It's purely emotional appeal ... it's easier to get people uncomfortable about late-term abortions than about having a one-month-old fetus removed, let alone a blastocyst. For anti-abortion folks, bans on late-term abortions are the thin edge of a wedge. If they can't ban abortion outright, they'll weigh it down with so many exceptions, requirements, and limitations that it'll be practically impossible to get one.

Red Skull is reforming New Hydra as a very obvious Neo Nazi movement rather than the weird Technocracy it was in the previous iterations. It is Loki who has a new series where he runs for President. His platform is he is the God of Lies and ergo you can trust him to lie to your face because it's clearly defined how and when he will lie, compared to poli's who you can't trust.

Checking her Facebook, she did a lot of other neat costumes too, creatively integrating her hijab into them. Not surprisingly, a lot of comic book characters wear hoods/headgear or have goofy hair anyway. Not sure if she did Elsa but I've seen an Elsa with a yellow hijab for the 'hair' and it was pretty neat.

Fulchrum posted:Eh. Worked for Nixon. Yes he points out that his current incarnation was legally born in America thus legally making him an American citizen. He ends up losing the election after a press conference where he accidentally shows he has no real polices or plans in place for running the country, just broad sweeping ideas that sound good to the majority of voters. Then as kicker we find out he was working with one of the other candidates to cause enough of a kerfuffle to have some people rethink their votes and redistribute them so things end up more even to boost their chances of winning the real race. It is totally NOT a dig a Trump or the political climate of America at the moment. Totally. Marvel refute any suggestion that it is. Honestly even if you are not a Marvel/comics fan if you can get a hold of the run of Vote Loki you will find it to be a fairly good tongue-in-cheek commentary.

It's one of those issues where, regardless of how you feel about the issue of oil and pipelines, the appalling handling of the situation by the private contractors and local police, on top of the mostly silent reaction from political leaders; should have you up in arms over the whole ordeal. In reality, what has happened is that pro-oil people have been completely silent on the issue, because they don't want to come across as supporting the rights of people who they disagree with; though there are some idiots dumb enough to actually be rooting on the violence against the protesters (though thankfully nobody I'm still friends with on Facebook has yet been that crass).

It was heavily dominated by newly 'woke' I first got exposed to the news from a blog I follow on tumblr- that's probably not too accurate, after seeing that there was a study on how truthful the stuff conservative websites and liberal ones post. Stuff like Occupy Democrats and LL101 I think.- framing it as how white terrorism is basically invisible, since those Bundy morons got off scot free and the Standing Rock Tribe were met with like riot gear and sound cannons and other crazy over the top weaponry for completely unarmed people.

And to be undeservedly fair to libertarians, some of them are decent people who would use Rawlsian moral reasoning in their politics, but fail to understand that not everyone has a rich grandfather or uncle to help them out in times of need.
