    Reality: school shootings are a problem  in the US
    Reality: it doesn't appear to be an issue in other countries
    Reality: no solution appears to be working in the US yet

    The US has had 57 times as many school shootings as the other major industrialized nations 

     
    The definition: The parameters we followed in this count 
    Shooting must involve at least one person being shot (not including the shooter) Shooting must occur on school grounds We included gang violence, fights and domestic violence (but our count is NOT limited to those categories) We included grades Kindergarten through college/university level as well as vocational schools We included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met The analysis: For US stats, CNN reviewed media reports and a variety of databases including those from the Gun Violence Archive and Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems. For international stats, we looked at local and national media reports.
    The caveat: Reporting on non-fatal school shootings is not always available. There may be additional school shootings with injuries that did not make it into the newspaper or digital publications, and therefore aren’t counted in databases that rely on media reports. This is true for shootings in the US and elsewhere.
    What we found:
    There have been at least 288 school shootings in the United States since January 1, 2009.
    That’s 57 times as many shootings as the other six G7 countries combined.
    Broadening out the list
    Next, we wanted to broaden our list out to include some countries that were mentioned in a few of the viral posts that were going around this weekend.
      In some of the incidents, the casualty count is very high (the Peshawar siege; the Kenya attack). But when it comes to the frequency of attacks, the US still leads by a wide margin.

    Yeah, thinking 🤔 , maybe referring to women and their bodies as a inanimate means of production might sound a tad doctrinaire for the 21st century.

    So,  the Biden administration was responsible for the failure of the market place.  🤔 
     
    No doubt if they had federalized the plant in September, had that even been legal, Fox news would have featured a flash series secret buses and flights full of illegal aliens whi have been hidden in baby formula factories working toward  exporting American's baby formula to Guatemala. Sounds crazy but that is a ditl of right wing media. 
     
    I liked "the right" when they stood for markets and individual accountability, at least then you could have a rational discussion about the theory and practice of government, now they are just grasping at straws.

    Not from me, I wouldn't apply fud to our constitutional ammendments, it obviously doesn't apply to what women are experiencing. I think the GOP has been hijacked on this abortion issue.

    It matters because people will die as a result of this bill, if it is passed. There are many reports of doctors in states that already have strong restrictions on abortion turning away women who are actively but incompletely miscarrying because the doctors are afraid that they will be accused of violating the law by performing a D&C, which is the correct procedure. But it could look like performing an abortion after whatever the state's time limit is. If the miscarriage is incomplete, there is a real danger that a woman may suffer from sepsis unless a D&C is performed. 
     
    Miscarriage is terrifying enough. I cannot imagine being turned away when my first husband and I rushed to the emergency room. I didn't know what was going to happen to me and I was terrified and beside myself with sorrow, as well the pain I suffered as it was happening. I didn't have to worry about getting the care I needed -- it never even entered my mind. But why should I have the right to medically appropriate care when my sisters in Oklahoma do not?  I'm mentioning incomplete miscarriages here not to exclude women who just want to dictate their own family planning decisions. They too need to be able to receive the healthcare their doctors believe is medically appropriate.
     
    This law is forcing doctors to make decisions that violate their ethics and ignore the health of their patients. It is wrong. I am NOT okay with the government telling me (like Governor Stitt has) that God has a "special plan" for me. I am a non-believer. I respect people's right to their religious beliefs but I do NOT respect them legislating those beliefs upon me and my body for non-medical reasons. 
     
    It is also important to point out that when Governor Stitt was asked about what the state will do to support families now that there are going to be more children being born into financially/socially precarious environments, he dodged the question. What is the conclusion to be drawn here? How is this truly pro-life if there is no thought or action given to the real, live children who will be born as a result of this law? If you are a poor woman who wants to limit the size of her family for financial reasons, going to another state for a few days to take advantage of women's healthcare is a pipe dream. Who's going to take care of your kids while you're away? How can you afford to take time off of work? How will you pay for your travel costs, especially in a time of inflation? Will your job be there for you when you get back? 
     
    Women like me who can afford to take time off work and travel will be inconvenienced but will receive the healthcare they need. The biggest harm will be having to leave their local communities, which they might not want to do. It is the people who are already most at risk of failing who will be failed by this bill. 
     
    We can disagree about these matters on a philosophical level but this law will lead to real harm. Even if we put to one side the women who will be negatively affected, this will also affect the ability of Oklahoma companies, colleges and universities to attract workers and students, and may lead to a loss of people who do not want to work in a health-restrictive state. This affects state income, which in turn leads to all sorts of worse outcomes for residents. This is neither a fiscally nor a medically prudent bill.
     
    Sorry to rant here. I know it's a lot. I haven't been posting a lot on this in here recently because this is very real to me, and I have been where these women will be, but I had the right to handle my healthcare as I saw fit. To blithely say, well, they can always leave, is to ignore the reality of how very hard that can be for many people.

    Interesting, I have seen multiple postings on VJ highlighting that there is are schemes to bring in illegals to give Democrats a electoral leg up. Fox News and the NY post are posting daily stories about Bidens admin secretly bringing in "immigrants" Carlson has made it the third rail of his show. 
     
    Are we to belive that the shooters in Buffalo, Orlando, Charlotte, Pittsburgh and El Paso just conjured up these common delusions? Maybe there is broader acceptance of these theories than we are ready to admit.
