Just correct me if I’m mistaken, but a quick research revealed that when a woman in Texas gets an abortion she is handed a life-long prison sentence and a fine of USD 10,000. A doctor who performs an abortion gets also a life in prison, looses his licence, and pays a fine of USD 100,000.
But a man poisoning a woman with abortion medication get 180 days in jail, no fine.
I’m not a legal expert, but that seems to have nothing to do with justice but rather with controlling women, right?
I’m mildly optimistic that this judgment can now be used as case law for all the prosecution efforts against women and doctors as a result of Texas’ fucked up abortion law.
it’s because the real problem is women having any amount of power. abortion that is forced on her is fine, because it establishes that women are subhuman and can have things forced upon them.
I don’t think it’s so much about controlling women and their sexuality as much as it is a man wants to ejaculate inside a woman without the consequences of producing a child.
It isn’t about not dealing with the consequences, abortion would be the easiest solution in that case.
No it’s simply that women usually have the ultimate say in whether a baby is kept, at least in modern western society. And that is women having too much power.
This is actually written in the Bible as the official Christian methodology for abortions. The man literally poisons his wife to induce it as a test of her loyalty, in numbers 5:11-31. Yes that’s right, abortion is sanctioned in the Bible exactly as Herring did it to his wife. I don’t know if this factored into the court ruling, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Nationalism is almost always bad, why should Israeli Nationalism be any different?
Ask yourself: if it was any other country or ethnicity, would it be “good” nationalism? Would an American or Russian Nationalist worry you? How about a Rwandan or Serbian nationalist?
Chances are the answer is “yes” (unless you’re a fascist), so why does Israeli nationalism get a free pass?
Like religion, you have to look at the context of nationalism, it can be a liberatory force in the context of oppression; look at the Viet Minh and the IRA.
I’d be hard pressed to tell a Dakota Sioux that their nationalism is bad.
“Welcome to university, where we teach you to be the leaders of tomorrow, think for yourself, and pursue truth regardless of the consequences.”
“Wait no, not like that. Shut up. Stop expressing yourself. There will he consequences for all of those who express the wrong truth. Now please, disperse and sign this form proclaiming obedience and asserting that you commit to never disrupting any entity with your speech or actions.”
It really says something that a country like Vietnam, a unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic which was carpet bombed by the US and suffered abhorrent atrocities at the hands of Americans, would still rather have close ties with the US in large part because they're worried about China.
Vietnam is a unitary Marxist-Leninist one-party socialist republic, one of the two communist states (the other being Laos) in Southeast Asia. Although Vietnam remains officially committed to socialism as its defining creed, its economic policies have grown increasingly capitalist, with The Economist characterising its leadership as "ardently capitalist communists". Under the constitution, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) asserts their role in all branches of the country's politics and society. The president is the elected head of state and the commander-in-chief of the military, serving as the chairman of the Council of Supreme Defence and Security, and holds the second highest office in Vietnam as well as performing executive functions and state appointments and setting policy.
Nah, oftentimes the school police officers are still allowed to have them to shoot the kids with. And don't forget some states have tried to arm teachers.
Even ignoring the privacy problems, and the many technical problems this would run into with false positives and faulty systems, this approach to the problem of drunk driving is misguided.
The US is one of the worst in the world for drunk driving, both in DUI rates, and how much blood alcohol is considered to be a DUI. Other countries are doing things way better than us, and a kill switch isnt their solution. We have shit like parking minimums for bars, and an abyssmal public transit infrastructure. Drunk driving is designed into our infrastructure. Even trying to address DUI convictions after the fact is discouraged here, because taking away someones ability to drive means taking away their functioning in American society.
The “law enforcement wouldn’t have access” part some groups focused on is a bit of a red herring. One, I don’t really believe it. But two, law enforcement would be sure to notice someone whose car wouldn’t drive over 15 mph all of a sudden or was disabled on the side of a road.
I could also picture this leading to so many different unsafe situations. Leaving a bad area of town at night after a show? Great, the system kicks in and disables your car leaving you stranded and at risk of robbery or kidnapping or assault whether you stay with your car or try to seek another ride. Driving home to a rural area in freezing weather with no cell service? Well, the system thinks you’re impaired so it disabled your car, leaving you at risk of hypothermia, sorry. Stressed because you’re late to a job interview? Sorry, the system determined you are driving in safely and disabled your car, so guess you won’t make it. It’s solidly dystopian.
Rural Canadian here. We get everything mandated in the USA because it’s not worth making Canadian models. Then we have to disable it.
This would be the absolute first thing to go on any vehicle purchased. We do DEF/DPF/SCR delete, traction control/stabilitrak delete just to make sure our vehicles are reliable and perform as expected in Arctic conditions.
Note that EGR delete isn’t on the list as EGR actually improves cruise efficiency while cutting emissions… And PCV delete is idiotic, I’ve added PCV to old vehicles that didn’t have it. It’s not like we just hate the environment or something.
The last thing we want is a system that could intentionally make the truck eat shit while we’re smashing snowdrifts with the bumper and trying to get home in a storm. It could literally kill us
“The network broadcast footage of al-Dahdouh breaking down in grief as he peered at the body of his son in the hospital morgue. His wife, daughter and grandson were also killed in Tuesday’s strike, along with 21 other people.”
al-Dahdouh is Al Jazeera’s chief correspondent in their Gaza office.
And the USA is asking them to not show the horror of being bombed? Because it’s “inflaming public opinion”?!?
I can’t believe that was requested with a straight face, surely?
Relatives of the doctors were told by the State Department that rescue efforts were underway, including through coordination with the United Nations and the Israel Defense Forces. Yet on Monday, the Israeli military fired on a United Nations vehicle that was traveling to the European Hospital in Khan Younis, near Rafah, killing a U.N. employee and injuring another.
Yeah, I wouldn’t trust IDF to rescue anyone. IDF is only capable of mass murder. They are literally bombing their own civilian hostages because it’s acceptable loss. They must have gotten US playbook, not only weapons with all that military aid.
Netanyahu is going to “accidentally” kill a US soldier transporting aid in the strip. I like to imagine the full brunt of the carrier group is deployed, but it’s going to be more finger wagging. The 3 killed in Jordan is proof, I think.
I guess with how well the terrorists taught us this lesson, means that we'd be even more better at it. We even learned about something called a 'Boston Tea Party' when we were little!
Not as much fun as the title, and more to the point:
Lauren Fleshman, the US national champion in the 5000m in 2006 and 2010, shared even harsher criticism in an Instagram post, writing: “I’m sorry, but show me one WNBA or NWSL team who would enthusiastically support this kit. This is for Olympic Track and Field. Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display. Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it.” She added: “This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field. This is a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on women’s sports. ... Stop making it harder for half the population @nike@teamusa@usatf.”
