  2. In Texas, abortion laws inhibit care for miscarriages As the Supreme Court appears poised to return abortion regulation to the states, recent experience in Texas illustrates that medical care for miscarriages and dangerous ectopic pregnancies would also be threatened if restrictions become more widespread. One Texas law passed last year lists several medications as abortion-inducing drugs and largely bars their use for abortion after the seventh week of pregnancy. But two of those drugs, misoprostol and mifepristone, are the only drugs recommended in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines for treating a patient after an early pregnancy loss. The other miscarriage treatment is a procedure described as surgical uterine evacuation to remove the pregnancy tissue — the same approach as for an abortion. "The challenge is that the treatment for an abortion and the treatment for a miscarriage are exactly the same," said Dr. Sarah Prager, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Washington in Seattle and an expert in early pregnancy loss. Miscarriages occur in roughly 1 out of 10 pregnancies. Some people experience loss of pregnancy at home and don't require additional care, other than emotional support, said Dr. Tony Ogburn, who chairs the OB-GYN department at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine. But in other situations, he said, providers may need to intervene to stop bleeding and make sure no pregnancy tissue remains, as a guard against infection. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/10/1097734167/in-texas-abortion-laws-inhibit-care-for-miscarriages
  3. Fine, retirees can travel, that is their choice. I don't want the government telling me I can only get medical treatment in another state, or another country.
  4. Good idea, if we cannot get our act together to deliver health care in the US, let's put them on the same bus Seniors take to get reasonable pricing on insulin and make a whole excursion package out of it. Throw in a hotel night or two and a swing by the casino and it might even be marketed as a three day get away. 🤔 Or we could just get real about protecting women's health.
  5. The myth that the EU and US orchestrated the "coup" is firmly rebutted in this document https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://static.poder360.com.br/2022/02/2014-Coup-1.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjZ7bL0pMv3AhWkKn0KHZYeD0gQFnoECAcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1TwpbSfJ8dViJ-nwg-PcWN

  7. 1. A barrel of oil is a barrel of oil, only a 100% blockade is going to keep Russian oil put of the marketplace. China will gladly buy it push comes to shove. 2. I doubt seriously that an uncoordinated effort of "freedom fighters" is going to make the dent you are theorizing.
  8. Do you think the Ukraine is holding on because of private citizens sending arms? I think the tech NATO provides is the real key.
  9. Very funny, Carlson is the Putinista, against the interests of hos own country: On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson. “It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” advises the 12-page document written in Russian. It sums up Carlson’s position: “Russia is only protecting its interests and security.” The memo includes a quote from Carlson: “And how would the US behave if such a situation developed in neighboring Mexico or Canada?” https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/03/exclusive-kremlin-putin-russia-ukraine-war-memo-tucker-carlson-fox/
  10. Collins and Murkowski see it differently: “If this leaked draft opinion is the final decision and this reporting is accurate, it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office,” Collins said in a statement. “Obviously, we won’t know each justice’s decision and reasoning until the Supreme Court officially announces its opinion in this case.” Collins and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, pro-choice GOP moderates, were among the key votes during the Senate confirmation hearings for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. In explaining her votes to confirm them, Collins said that both judges had assured her at the time that they believed Roe v. Wade was “settled law.” https://news.yahoo.com/susan-collins-supreme-court-leak-roe-abortion-kavanaugh-gorsuch-172603085.html
  11. Curious, Cavanaugh promised Susan Collins he wouldn't vote to overturn Roe, unless he was blackout drunk.
