    I'm trying to think of a response that isn't pure snark but oh look, more proof that pro-life laws hurt those they say they're looking out for. Shit like this will scar families for years and possibly put them off ever having children. I've said it before but with all the shit my wife went though trying to have kids, if we lived in the states we would have given up after the first or second attempt over this kind of bullshit. Instead we have almost 2 year old and another due any day now.

     

    Man even watching that news segment was triggering for me knowing what it's like to be in that position to say goodbye to a baby you couldn't have. :cry: I'm the only one in the family who actually held them (my wife was too scared to even see them).

    I can’t even imagine how difficult even reading that article is for someone with a history with loss of a wanted pregnancy. It was almost too much for me.

    NC Senate GOP super majority holding Medicaid Expansion and the State Budget hostage unless they get 4 casinos out of the GOP super majority NC House.

    Do any recent casinos really make money for the city/state they open up in? It seems like they’re all over the place (and expanding!) so there’s no draw from elsewhere it just seems to be robbing the poor and stupid for limited benefit. 
     

    richmond is having a second vote on our casino, it failed the last time so of course that means they get another crack at it.

    It's borderline "political malpractice" that House Democrats don't attempt on a near-daily basis to use whatever limited procedural means they have at their disposal to get the CTC to a floor vote in the House if only to get the GOP on record voting to kill it over and over and over again.  Who gives a rip what soon-to-be-former Senator Manchin has to say about it?

    Honestly it would only help

    manchin keep his seat (and I’d rather him stay than whatever ghoul comes out of the WVGOP)

  4. So I know I’m still a beginner but damn it’s crazy to me just how much minor changes in form can affect how your body handles weight. Like just adjusting the width of my grip on the bench but just like an inch or two changes how focused the workout is on my chest vs triceps

    If anything, his attorneys might've coached him to respond to that question in such a narrowly-defined context as to his "beliefs" rather than his "actions" as that would be congruent with his overall First Amendment-based defense.

    cmon. Like the man actually listens to his lawyers.
     

    but still it is a bad defense. It’s even covered in the indictment. His actions are what he’s being prosecuted for not his beliefs. Yeah yeah going to try and taint the jury pool and win the court of public opinion. But anything he says now can be admitted to court as evidence; it’s why good lawyers tell you to shut the fuck up.
