It seems more honest than touting exceptions as some sort of compromise. Have you ever thought of what a rape exception (or other exceptions) looks like in practice? They just don’t happen. How many abortion providers are willing to test the law? How many pregnant people are able to get a police report necessary to be exempted? How many abortion providers are even practicing in states with rape exceptions to their otherwise strict abortion laws?

Arguing about what exceptions should or should not be on the books is a distraction. It’s only service is to placate the general public into accepting barbaric abortion bans.

Rosana by Wax, very catchy song. “What’s my mother fucking name!?”

Mama Ridgeway would be proud of that clean ween!

Why is it when talking about Israeli military or political action it's necessary to add the word government? With any other country you can say, as an example, "Russia shouldn't be invading Ukraine", but with Israel it seems necessary to add something like "I'm talking about the government, not the people."

On the other side of things, it seems Hamas is interchangable with Palestine, which is interchangable with the Palestinian people, and none of these get folks pointing out the distinction.

The adjustable base is a game changer! Helps with my heart burn and my husband's snoring. Also, I'm sick rn, so have been watching a lot of tv in bed. Being able to adjust to more of a sitting position is awesome.

Issue one wasn’t about abortion, no matter how much people want it to be. Convoluting it with the November abortion rights issue will only give false confidence for the November vote. It’s going to be a much tighter vote than what this was. Plenty of people across the political spectrum saw the long reaching implications passing issue one would have and voted it down for being a power grab.

I agree. There are plenty of people conflating issue 1 and abortion rights, but the reality is issue 1 had nothing to do with abortion rights. I don’t think this is a Democrat win, nearly as much as it’s being portrayed. Plenty of R’s voted it down on it’s own merit. LaRose was certainly pushing it to prevent an abortion rights win in November, but after his push to eliminate special elections (not to mention what the proposal actually said) folks across the political spectrum saw it for the power grab it was. Wanting to keep a path for citizen led ballot initiatives does not equal wanting to enshrine abortion rights.
