I do not believe in terminating a pregnancy from 2nd trimester on unless there is a health issue that could put a mother's life in jeopardy. I don't like abortion as a method of birth control but I'm also a realist and know it's not my choice to make what somebody does with their life.  There are far too many children in this country who are in terrible situations and as they get older, do not contribute to society but rather burden society then the cycle starts all over again when one of them becomes pregnant or impregnates a female.  And as I have stated before, the same group that wants to outlaw abortion are the same group that will complain the most with all these unwanted children that have to be supported. 

BT, I think your chart shows exactly what some members have been saying.
That a lot of people who maybe did not like abortion, tolerated it.
When some pro-abortionist demanded 9-month abortions it pushed a lot of people away from supporting it.

Ridiculous.

On a humid morning in early October, Brittney Poolaw sat in an Oklahoma courtroom waiting on a verdict. Instead of the jail uniform she’d donned over the past 18 months, she wore a yellow and white blouse. After less than three hours of deliberation, the jury returned with their decision: Poolaw was guilty of first-degree manslaughter. She was sentenced to four years behind bars.

But Poolaw, a 20-year-old and a member of the Wichita Tribe, had not driven recklessly or shot a gun. She’d had a miscarriage.

Poolaw will not be the last woman sent to prison for accidentally losing a pregnancy. Indeed, if the leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe vs. Wade is in fact its final opinion on the matter, cases like Poolaw’s will likely become more common.

You left out the part where the miscarriage was caused because she was a meth head. If you do drugs that kill the baby, I can see where the court might convict you. It was no "accident" that she lost the baby. 

And you left out this part ...

 prosecutors were never able to prove that the drug had ended the pregnancy. In fact, the medical examiner testified at Poolaw’s trial that he had noticed another compelling possible cause: congenital abnormalities in the developing fetus. 

And there is no evidence that Meth can cause birth defects? 

Come on, Gardawg, a meth head doing drugs has a miscarriage and you really think the drug had nothing to do with it? Get real. 

How convenient of "justice" Thomas to avoid the obvious.

His marriage would be highly illegal in the 19th century.

In fact, he would have been hung, ... or worse.


How many "special needs" infants has he adopted?

I agree, the dog caught the car it's been chasing for so long, and is about to get aquatinted with the under carriage.

Millennials, and Gen Z will make sure of that.

This is the last political gasp of white, male , boomers.

Deer patty melts and caesar salad.
and some music…. And a little sip of something later before bed.

Picked up a lb of large gulf skrimps and a fillet of red snapper at the local fish monger.  Marinated the shrimp in EVOO and garlic for a few hours, then skewered them up.  Quad'ed out the Snapper and lightly coated 2 sections in Paul Prudhomme Redfish Magic and 2 sections lightly with Old Bay and S/P.  Cooked everything on the egg, along with steaming some broccoli and cauliflower.  Everything came out really good, shrimp could have used a minute or so less cooking.

Improvise ... when your ancient member is missing

As a 20 year police officer in SFL I will say that what occurred in Uvalde with the officers is completely unacceptable.  I accepted this job knowing that I will possibly at some point in my career be the "sacrificial lamb" to save another's life and my family also understands this fact.  The officers that stood outside are cowards plain and simple.  The officer's that were told not to go in and listened to that order are also cowards and I would have no problem telling them that to their faces.   I would rather lose my job than to let some admin tell me to let innocent children or adults continue to be killed or harm in any manner.  

Since the qualified immunity subject came up I will say that it a two edged sword.  It gets abused by cops, fireman, politicians and govt. workers as a scape goat for bad behavior.    It has also helped those same people that actually needed it.  I am torn on getting rid of it vs keeping it.  

There is no Duty to Act for officers unless we have created a special relationship with an individual.  I firmly believe that there is a moral obligation to the people that I come in contact with to protect them while I am dealing with them even though I do not "have to".
