“Stigma and fear are there for D&Cs in a way that they are not for misoprostol,” said Dr. Alison Goulding, an OB-GYN in Houston. “Doctors assume that a D&C is not standard in Texas anymore, even in cases where it should be recommended. People are afraid: They see D&C as abortion and abortion as illegal.”

These are cases where a D&C would still be legal under the Texas law, but doctors are still not doing it because they’re afraid to get sued by Ken Paxton. That’s malpractice.

I get that the law is ridiculous, immoral and badly written, but that still doesn’t absolve you from your responsibility to preserving human life.

And yeah, the Texas Governor and Republican legislature are morally responsible, and have blood on their hands, but since they’re writing the laws they can’t exactly be charged with a crime.

Not sure, but it seems like his renegotiation and renaming of NAFTA wasn’t such a good deal after all of he’s already reneging on it.

It’s definitely being logged by your Telco and phone manufacturer. Police can send them warrants to ask which phones were in X area around Y time frame and go from there.

Yeah, he specifically gets boosted across the site, which is why he ended up in everyone’s feeds.

Yep, the more precarious their legal status, the more compliant they are. This is all about suppressing labour rights.

That’s why the Republican playbook regarding the border was always just talk, and Trump somehow doesn’t get that it was always a scam to get the votes of the racists without ever seriously placing to follow through.

If all farm workers were legally in the US, they’d form unions right off the bat, especially since a strike during harvest season is going to fuck over a farmer financially within days.

Those medical professionals should lose their license and go to prison, this is manslaughter.

That’s why I said “regulations like the GDPR”. The US and other blocs need similar regulations. Especially the US is important, as they’ve shown that they’re willing to stretch the size of their jurisdiction to sometimes absurd lengths.

That’s usually a bad thing, but in this case that might be good.

The US really needs to work on getting privacy rights in the constitution. There were some implied rights, but the current court’s busy rolling out back.

A well run, non-partisan campaign could fix this.

It’s not like companies that use Linux don’t get breached either. Your personal data is in thousands of databases that have varying levels of security. Personal choices don’t affect any of that, regulations like GDPR are what’s needed.

Yep, the majority are good people that assume others are good people too. And they get ruthlessly exploited by sociopaths that end up ruling everyone and forcing all of us to live our lives along their zero-sum worldview.

The only democracy in the middle east…

If you’re not even going to believe Israeli media…

Accuse Hamas of being Isis (after supporting them financially for decades), then turn around and support actual ISIS to aid in their genocide. Warms my heart to see the most moral army in action.
