God, how I despise hypocrisy and the hypocrites it spawns. It’s stupidity, It’s hubris. And it’s blind faith, and not that kickass band from the early 1970’s.
There’s this part of me that wonders what would’ve happened if the Governor’s office had said no. Would her family decry the law that prevented doctors from saving her?
I’m having spine surgery in about a week in Florida, and I’m scared shitless. Thankful there’s no chance I’m pregnant. A few kind thoughts for my surgeon and recovery might help.
You rule God. Don’t let these bastards grind you down.
I’m so very sorry for the internal grief this has caused you, god. I would like to say I haven’t been crying every day, but I would be lying. This woman will get her karma in some form. You can’t be a horrible person and think you can skate through life hurting others and think it won’t come back to you. Sorry about the run on sentence. Anyway, many of us are right there with you. We won’t give up if you don’t.🥰
"Deflect and deny" reminds me of the fact that Chump was the evil bastard Roy Cohn's protege in the 1980s. Roy, who was gay, was McCarthy's attorney during the "red terror" trials of the 1950's. He was a despicable piece of shit. He was eventually disbarred from practicing law. He died of AIDS. We have him to thank for the terrible times we are living in today.
These are the "three rules of winning" that Roy Cohn taught Chump:
1. Attack, attack, attack: This emphasizes taking an aggressive stance, never showing weakness, and going on the offensive against opponents.
2. Admit nothing, deny everything: Cohn's philosophy involved a staunch refusal to admit fault, acknowledge mistakes, or back down from statements or actions, no matter how controversial.
3. Always claim victory: He believed in claiming victory and never admitting defeat, regardless of the situation or any setbacks.
It’s likely the only test agent orange passed with flying colors. Hmm. I’d like to amend my sentence: It’s likely the only test agent orange passed, period.
Totally agree with you god. Some days I feel like I am aging at a faster rate. I worry for my grandkids. Never dreamed our lives would be this tenuous. We can’t give up. Our country is worth too much to let liars a heathens and facists destroy it!
God, you are absolutely 1000% right on this. It is hippocracy to the nth level. In this one case, I wish the doctors would've followed the law. It is such a double standard. This would have been the ultimate comeuppance for someone who cares nothing about victims of rape and incest.
The gaslighting and hypocrisy at a national level will be written about for decades. It’s so hard, God, to try to keep the “light” when the news is so horrible. Thank you for reminding all of us we are not alone.
I live a couple day's drive from Canada and every day, I dream of potentially making a mad dash for the border because I just cannot take it anymore. If I had any kind of employable skill, I'd probably take the option of using it there with a couple bags of clothes and a bag of books.
I have friends in Ontario, cousins in Sweden, and a friend in Australia. If I had a passport, I'd consider making the rounds with a series of six-month visits! 😂 As it is, I'm fortunate to live in Minnesota, so I'll stay and keep speaking out.
I live in MN, too. What horrified me in 2016 and 2020 was the number of agent orange supporters in the more rural areas of the state. I moved here in 1989 and always thought this was a blue state. I never thought there would be so many ill-informed people or so many filled with hate here 😢
Republicans in this state used to be more moderate. Today those moderates are either independents or centrist Democrats. Thankfully, while we cannot become complacent, the majority of the state population is not the far-right extremism of the maganauts.
I rather envy them. But I suppose it is my fault for believing that we might not get here and having neglected to even bother with a passport because I never really traveled outside the country.
I did, purely because my parents got me a "college-student-whirlwind-tour-package-deal" trip to Europe as a graduation present, and because they were old fashioned enough to think that "every young person needs to 'do' the Continent, the Grand Tour, at some point in their lives" and because they'd used the same tour company to visit Paris and the U.K. for 31 days (a week in Paris [lucky! :D] and 3 weeks in everywhere in the United Kingdom but Northern Ireland) and loved it. Good tour company; wish I could remember their name atm, but I excuse my old brain; it was...ooh, 40 years ago this summer! :D
I looked at their brochure and thought about the trip they'd taken, but ultimately went with: 15 countries in 31 days. BzzOW! on a big ol' tour bus (almost big enough to have a bathroom, but not quite). "Don't blink or you'll miss Liechtenstein!" "If it's Tuesday, it /must/ be Belgium! :D" (I now know what that means... ;-D)
Granted, three of the "countries" were micro-states: Liechtenstein (whose industries seem to consist of stamps for collectors and European tax write-offs), Vatican City (it's amazing what-all you can do with a nigh-unlimited budget and divine inspiration! :D Awesome place), and Monaco (that I didn't think was worth all the hype. Their coastline environment was in appalling shape). Put 'em all together in the same area, they wouldn't add up to the square miles (sorry, kilometers) of Long Beach, California... X-D
But it was a blast, and I definitely saw lovely places that I'd like to visit again, this time with my hubby (sadly, one of them was Yugoslavia, which I loved... :-/). If the place is still in one piece by the time we win the lottery or something, that'd be cool. :)
Hang in there, God! I harken back to when Japan and Germany were our mortal enemies and did some horrible things to other countries. Now, they are respected world leaders. Hell, I can see them attacking the US to free us from the bondages of Rethuglican fascism.
We can come back from this nightmare, but it's going to take a lot of time and getting rid of T💩p.
Yeah, I'd heard that kids in Germany at one point were required to take a field trip to one of the Holocaust museums, like Dachau or Auschwitz or the last remaining Buchenwald, etc., at least once in their school time, or maybe once a year, for the express purpose of "Never let this happen again."
Japan's monuments dealing with WWII mostly seem to consist of, "Hey, wait a minute! We were just, like, /visiting/ our /neighbors/ and suddenly the U.S. drops two NUKES on us! :(" They've never officially said anything about being at any fault in WWII, from what I've heard. If that's changed recently, good for them; finally. :-/
But it seems like our "educators," or at least the ones in charge of the Dept. of Education (and all the way down to the local level, in some areas), WANT the bad history to continue by covering it up. :-/
This isn't surprising, I hate to tell her what she got was not what she thought. Yes indeed it saved her life and yes it took care of the ectopic pregnancy which is my mind is abortion!
Please don’t tell MAGA, but in very rare instances an ectopic pregnancy isn’t fatal or life-threatening. When an embryo continues to develop and calcifies outside the uterus, the fetus becomes a lithopedion. These “stone babies” remain unnoticed for years—even decades—until they cause discomfort in the abdominal cavity. One lithopedion that recently was removed and dissected yielded a complete skeleton, down to the wee metatarsals! You are indeed Great, especially when You get bored with Legos.
Oh I wish they would have arrested that doctor! I'm sure there's a case exactly like this where the doctor was in fact punished for a saving a woman in this scenario.
To be clear, I would never wish any harm to a doctor performing his duties to save lives. They took an oath to do just that. Government has no business making laws that kill people. Although they are well practiced at it.
God, how I despise hypocrisy and the hypocrites it spawns. It’s stupidity, It’s hubris. And it’s blind faith, and not that kickass band from the early 1970’s.

You rule God. Don’t let these bastards grind you down.
I wish the very best for your surgery and recovery. I hope that you have people who will support and care for you.
Thank you! I do have some immediate help, and I should be fine.
☮️💟speedy recovery ❤️🩹
If the doctor had refused to give her care, she wouldn't be here to preach her hypocrisy. Evil bitch. 😠
What a tragedy that would've been.
Oh, sure, she gets her abortion, while other women get arrested for having a miscarriage. Let's call it a miscarriage of justice!
I had an ectopic pregnancy in the 80s and if it weren’t aborted, I would not be here. You republitards are a sorry bunch.
I’m so very sorry for the internal grief this has caused you, god. I would like to say I haven’t been crying every day, but I would be lying. This woman will get her karma in some form. You can’t be a horrible person and think you can skate through life hurting others and think it won’t come back to you. Sorry about the run on sentence. Anyway, many of us are right there with you. We won’t give up if you don’t.🥰
This story has a most tragic ending. She lived........
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hypocrisy at its finest and the trick they’ve all learned from Trump; deflect and deny.
"Deflect and deny" reminds me of the fact that Chump was the evil bastard Roy Cohn's protege in the 1980s. Roy, who was gay, was McCarthy's attorney during the "red terror" trials of the 1950's.

It’s likely the only test agent orange passed with flying colors. Hmm. I’d like to amend my sentence: It’s likely the only test agent orange passed, period.
It also sounds like things Daddy Freddy might've also taught Chump; Cohn probably reinforced all that. :-/
Yes this is so maddening how she’s blaming Dems
she can fuck all the way off
she is in government making our lives miserable ,what a nasty narcissistic woman who will teach her children all of her hate !!
Let's hope she can't have any more after this. X-P

Maganauts has a nice ring to it 🤓
I have never been happier that we got our dual-citizen kids their Canadian passports.
I rather envy them. But I suppose it is my fault for believing that we might not get here and having neglected to even bother with a passport because I never really traveled outside the country.
Ooh... :-/
I did, purely because my parents got me a "college-student-whirlwind-tour-package-deal" trip to Europe as a graduation present, and because they were old fashioned enough to think that "every young person needs to 'do' the Continent, the Grand Tour, at some point in their lives" and because they'd used the same tour company to visit Paris and the U.K. for 31 days (a week in Paris [lucky! :D] and 3 weeks in everywhere in the United Kingdom but Northern Ireland) and loved it.

If Europe is still an option should we sur I've id love to visit and maybe someday move to Ireland

We can come back from this nightmare, but it's going to take a lot of time and getting rid of T💩p.
I was glad to see German school children learning about their country's history while I was touring Dachau in Munich.
God forbid the kids in this country be allowed to learn about the bad as well as the good in our history 🤬
Yeah, I'd heard that kids in Germany at one point were required to take a field trip to one of the Holocaust museums, like Dachau or Auschwitz or the last remaining Buchenwald, etc., at least once in their school time, or maybe once a year, for the express purpose of "Never let this happen again."

The non-viable clump of human cells was removed. That's one of the definitions of an abortion, medically. X-P
So, yeah, you're absolutely right.
Duly noted!
Please don’t tell MAGA, but in very rare instances an ectopic pregnancy isn’t fatal or life-threatening. When an embryo continues to develop and calcifies outside the uterus, the fetus becomes a lithopedion. These “stone babies” remain unnoticed for years—even decades—until they cause discomfort in the abdominal cavity. One lithopedion that recently was removed and dissected yielded a complete skeleton, down to the wee metatarsals! You are indeed Great, especially when You get bored with Legos.
None of us needed that image in our heads. Nature is a gambler that doesn't give a shit about any of us individually.
Sorry to offend. Unlike other pregnancies, a lithopedion is not messy. I was reminded of the ivory-color toy Invisible Man skeletons.
Finally looked it up on Wikipedia...eee! :-/
Someday, mark my words, we're gonna have artificial womb babies, and hopefully we won't have to worry about such things any more... X-P
(Heck, if they're made out of glass, a kid could have a "womb with a view"... X-D)
Hey, yeah! Do they still make those models any more? Those were cool, but usually way outside my price range as a starving biology student. :)
I just looked. A wide variety of anatomy dolls, starting at $14.95.
Hence, menopause, for all genders... :-/
"You can't continue the generations, so, pffft! Out ya go!"
"But, but, but...we're humans! There's way more to us than just what our bodies can do! Look at Stephen Hawking!"

Oh I wish they would have arrested that doctor! I'm sure there's a case exactly like this where the doctor was in fact punished for a saving a woman in this scenario.
To be clear, I would never wish any harm to a doctor performing his duties to save lives. They took an oath to do just that. Government has no business making laws that kill people. Although they are well practiced at it.
Yeah; just look at war powers, capital punishment, etc., etc., etc.... X-P
Just astounding hypocrisy!🤬
