Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • the first is a lot of personal risk; the 2nd is minimal risk

    This flies in the face of the article though… it expounds quite a lot that it’s hard to sue for this situation at all. With the reviewing hospital doing the procedures in house quite often as they get referrals all the time.

    But because the delays and discharges occurred in an area of the hospital classified as an emergency room, lawyers said that Texas law set a much higher burden of proof: “willful and wanton negligence.”

    It’s clearly NOT a lot of risk since the burden of proof for that lawsuit would be effectively insurmountable. To the point that the no lawyer is willing to take the case according to the article. If it’s that hard to put a lawsuit together on the matter, why would a doctor be scared about conducting an abortion that was already covered as an exception to the law already? I’m not seeing it. I’m not buying the excuse.

    It’s not like sepsis is undocumented and unknown to the medical community. It’s not hard to justify the required treatment through literal decades of medical cases that have been studied and there’s specific exemptions in place for medical necessity in TX (and most[qualifier only because I have checked all] other states with a “ban”). The only way this situation make sense is if these places didn’t actually have the doctor on hand/staffed and it was some other medical provider that didn’t have power to actually make the decision. In which case there’s a whole 'nother bag of worms of a problem that needs to be addressed. If it’s not negligence on the doctor’s behalf (whether that be due to laziness,ignorance,fear, whatever), it’s because there wasn’t a doctor at all like an RN calling the shots. But the article claims to have gone through everything and doesn’t share with us, so I have to assume the former.

    This smells a lot like “cops need immunity otherwise they won’t investigate stuff”. No… they need to do their job better.





  • The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building during the attack, some of whom participated in vandalism and looting, including in the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members.

    So you think there’s only 2000 police officers in the USA? That 100% of them are at polling places harassing people and have a coverage of all polling places in America?

    The fuck looney world are you all going on about? Your own source says

    Nearly 30 sworn police officers from a dozen departments

    Okay so at worst that’s 30 polling places. And somehow this is something to bring up like it’s going to be a statistical probability. This constant ACAB bullshit has infected you all and it’s disappointing.

    30 out of 21000 polling places is not “quite possibly” get out of here.

    Edit: There’s an estimated 900k police officers in the country. 30 did something you think is shitty, therefore the other 899.999k are also bad and will be there to make you regret voting and harass you! What a silly stupid argument.



  • the delays at the 3rd hospital

    My statement/arguments were more for the first two visits. I feel (and I’m no doctor) was that it was already too late by visit 3. I don’t think she was going to make it at that point regardless.

    is that they shouldn’t be hard cases

    Sepsis IS ALWAYS a hard case unless you catch it very very early. They delayed her significantly and she was already down the path of symptoms. I’m not sure that shrugging of the hard case of potential sepsis (for the first one that didn’t bother checking her thoroughly) and confirmed sepsis for the second hospital… is anyway at all related to the case being hard because of “abortion”.



  • Some said the first ER missed warning signs of infection that deserved attention. All said that the doctor at the second hospital should never have sent Crain home when her signs of sepsis hadn’t improved. And when she returned for the third time, all said there was no medical reason to make her wait for two ultrasounds before taking aggressive action to save her.

    Hawkins noted that Crain had strep and a urinary tract infection, wrote up a prescription and discharged her. Hawkins had missed infections before. Eight years earlier[…]

    This has nothing to do with abortion ban. This has everything to do with shitty doctors. None of this required or even remotely called for any abortion. And should that first doctor NOT have been allowed to keep their license from previous cases of being a bad doctor… A women and her child probably would be alive today.

    The other facility that examined the case was also in Texas. Clearly the “ban” doesn’t stop them.

    The well-resourced hospital is perceived to have more institutional support to provide abortions and miscarriage management, the doctor said. Other providers “are transferring those patients to our centers because, frankly, they don’t want to deal with them.”

    Can’t blame a “ban” if there’s places that can and do legally do it.

    This is shitty doctors/hospitals blaming to the law to skirt around hard cases that they simply don’t want to deal with.

    But because the delays and discharges occurred in an area of the hospital classified as an emergency room, lawyers said that Texas law set a much higher burden of proof: “willful and wanton negligence.”

    Now this is a shame… This is what TX should be fixing. Malpractice shouldn’t need a higher standard in an ER

    All in all, I’m not sure how this is related to the abortion “ban” in any way shape or form. So why is it in the article/OP at all? Especially since in this case, it would have been covered regardless…

    Section 170A.002 prohibits a person from performing, inducing, or attempting an abortion. There is an exception for situations in which the life or health of the pregnant patient is at risk. In order for the exception to apply, three factors must be met: A licensed physician must perform the abortion.
    The patient must have a life-threatening condition and be at risk of death or “substantial impairment of a major bodily function” if the abortion is not performed. “Substantial impairment of a major bodily function” is not defined in this chapter.
    The physician must try to save the life of the fetus unless this would increase the risk of the pregnant patient’s death or impairment.







  • Some people believe the world is flat. That doesn’t make the statement true. They provided no clear example of how any of it could be doing what they claim it would do. So that random statement starting with “some democrats”… is meaningless.

    By changing the language from “all citizens”, it sets up opportunities to selectively disenfranchise those citizens who are able and registered to vote.

    No it doesn’t because the verbiage is “ONLY citizens” as the replacement. It’s still VERY clear that citizens are to vote. What it clears up is any argument that non-citizens should also be allowed to vote.



  • Can you provide the ruling?

    As far as I understand it was simply an “agreement”. Not a legal decision/ruling. Nothing stops M$ from appealing it regardless with this new information. And pointing to MacOS and Android and asking why they’re not being enforced the same way.

    And just because a current ruling OR agreement is in place. Doesn’t mean they don’t want to do it. They can easily just make the process harder for those that want Kernel access which could still have the same effect.


  • This article is referencing new bills that will disenfranchise legitimately registered voters

    Please quote where it says that. I see no such statement.

    What’s on the ballot?

    Republican-led legislatures in eight states have proposed constitutional amendments on their November ballots declaring that only citizens can vote.

    Proposals in Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin would replace existing constitutional provisions stating that “every” citizen or “all” citizens can vote with new wording saying “only” citizens can vote. Supporters contend the current wording does not necessarily bar noncitizens from voting.

    In Idaho and Kentucky, the proposed amendments would explicitly state: “No person who is not a citizen of the United States” can vote. Similar wording won approval from Louisiana voters two years ago.

    Voters in North Dakota, Colorado, Alabama, Florida and Ohio passed amendments between 2018 and 2022 restricting voting to “only” citizens.

    What about changing verbiage to be clear is “Disenfranchise”?
