evilweasel posted:My guess here is that the hospital has malpractice insurance. Because the malpractice insurer is paying the bill if the hospital loses, it can require the hospital to mount the best defense possible (or just outright control the defense) - that a fetus isn't a person under US law. To leave that argument out would probably require the hospital waive its malpractice insurance - and then the doctors themselves would probably be making it anyway. I think you are probably correct but, it makes it no less ironic. Joementum posted:Quote of the day, "The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats." ~ Ted Cruz.

I knew about the JCTF-OIR, (Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF–OIR) is the Joint Task Force, established by the international (US-led) coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), set up by the US Central Command to coordinate military efforts against ISIL, and is composed of US military forces and personnel from over 30 countries) but, I didn't know this existed until just now when it was mentioned by fade5 in the RSF Republican Primary thread; a YouTube channel dedicated to showing them blowing poo poo up in Iraq and Syria. Thanks fade5.

Yeah, I guess Morocco did temporarily reauthorize corsairs and revoke their hilarious sanctuary policy (for about a month) after the XYZ affair. France probably wins, but Morocco's a respectable second place. On the other hand, did we have active alliance terms with France prior the early days of the First Barbary War? Because Morocco pretty much immediately told the other Barbary states to go gently caress themselves and gave us civilian sanctuary rights, which kinda-sorta extended to military boats. Edit: We didn't properly re-ally with France for a... while, after the Revolution and so on. Post-first-Barbary-War Morocco might win the title.

Unless it was just another "gently caress you dad" to England, because that makes sense in the grander scheme of things.

Morocco still has the oldest unbroken treaty with the United States. The informal French aid before Saratoga notwithstanding, Morocco still has the honor of being the oldest U.S. ally.

It's kinda strange knowing the US anti-ISIL task force has their own official Youtube channel that they regularly upload videos to, and a Facebook page where they regularly list all of the previous day's airstrikes. Social media has changed war in some very weird ways. Now to get Republicans to start watching their Youtube channel and start liking Obama.

That war nerd article was written back in October 2014 when Kobani/Kobane was still an active warzone; one year later it's now remembered as "the place where ISIL got their asses handed to them by the Kurds".

In large part they suddenly stopped being besties with the French Republicans as soon as that revolution kicked off another, closer one which for some odd reason caused Southern landowners to suddenly remember how they'd always had reservations about such wild excesses of liberty, for as Jefferson himself said, "I become daily more and more convinced that all the West India Island will remain in the hands of the people of colour, and a total expulsion of the whites sooner or later take place.

A guy got into an argument with an employee in a Meijer in Detroit, said "have you ever heard of ISIS?", dropped his backpack, and ran. The store interpreted that as a bomb threat and called the police. http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2015/11/30/sterling-heights-meijer-store-evacuated-due-to-reported-threat/?cid=facebook_CBS_Detroit Seems like a good way to go to Guantanamo forever.

This is a good excuse to plug CLR James's The Black Jacobins, on the interplay of Revolutionary ideas in France and Haiti, the limits of French republicanism, and the life of L'ouverture.

Not gonna lie, I want to see a good solid historical miniseries about the Haitian Revolution. Intrigue! War! Betrayal! More intrigue! More betrayal!
