  • "Celeste Burgess was released from Madison county jail earlier this month, after serving a little more than half of her 90-day sentence, local Nebraska news outlet KTIV reported. At her sentencing, Celeste Burgess said that her family could not have afforded a funeral for fetal remains, according to Courthouse News. (In a financial affidavit obtained by Vice, Jessica Burgess said she had $400 to her name.) Celeste Burgess also reportedly deals with multiple mental health issues and became pregnant due to an abusive relationship.

    Jessica Burgess was set to undergo a court-ordered psychological evaluation ahead of her sentencing. But the evaluation was canceled due to lack of funding, according to KTIV."

    “Lack of Funding” is something I read far too often for this economy.

    Wealth hoarding is going to cast the rest of us into abject poverty, and we can’t really do anything about it. We live in a dystopian political drama, and it fucking BLOWS





  • "Birth control medication is already available over-the-counter in Oregon, California and Washington, D.C. More than 20 states have statutes that allow pharmacies to dispense FDA-approved hormonal contraceptives without the need for a prescription, per a statement from the Arizona Department of Health Services.

    At the federal level, the Food and Drug Administration has endorsed the over-the-counter drug Opill, saying the risks of unintended pregnancy far outweighed any risks associated with the drug."

    Apparently it’s already OK’ed by the FDA. I did not know this prior.
