If you are wondering why, she said this, it’s part of a pattern of spreading misinformation about abortions that has been happening as long as people want to keep other people from having them.
The goal is to scare vulnerable women away from the resources that can help them and to make it easier to prosecute anyone who has been found to help them by conflating them with drug dealers.
It adds to the cloud of confusion that desperate women must cut through in order to gain access to the resources they need, and for some of those women, it will push the window out too far for them to have an abortion that they can afford, or cause them to give up, and just have the baby they don’t want, damn the costs.
Since they see this as saving a baby’s life, they don’t have any ethical issues whatsoever with lying like this.
Right so then she is just a dumb evil cunt that doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near public office. Got it.
All these glaringly obvious issues that will never be taken care of because we give people too much freedom. That statement alone should get her fired and not allow her to be in office anywhere ever again.
They’ll be quick to tell you that the Constitution doesn’t actually explicitly state they should be separated. And what it really means is no one can stop them from proselytizing because that would prohibit the free exercise of religion. Of course they’ll also tell you there is no religion other than the 1853 convention of Eastern sect Southern Baptists. Everything else is a heretical lie that needs to be burned.
The Big Ten were written at a time when paganism/animism was the dominant religious view and the idea of monotheism was weird and foreign. You really had to hammer those home early on, because one minute you’re up on a mountain having the acid trip spiritual moment to define a millennium and the next you’re down in the valley watching all your friends jerk off to a big bronze bull just like you told them not to!
When your parish flock is that prone to stray, I’m almost surprised they don’t have a few more.
Interesting thing about the decision - the 3 liberal justices were the ones dissenting.
The conservative majority said that this map should be used only for the election in November (because of their previous decisions that changes can’t be made this close to an election). That means the challenges to the map from right wing groups in the hostile lower circuit courts will come back after November and they will still have a chance to throw it out.
The liberals argued that the court would have ample time to consider the merits of the case (in light of the precedent they set in the nearly identical Alabama case) and order the map to remain in effect until the next census.
Lots of gamesmanship in the decision - but still good for Democrats in November (at least this year).
Can we still presume that black votes are necessarily going to go Democrat? There have been some weird minority voting outcomes in recent years, with e.g. Hispanic communities voting red despite the strongly anti-minority and anti-immigrant planks in the Republican platform. Democrats are more liberal on LGBTQ and pro-choice, and these are likely single-issue voters driven by religious decisions. We saw the same thing to a lesser degree in black communities, less starkly contrasted because of what’s at stake for Hispanic communities.
Is the evidence this is going to benefit Democrats?
“First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.”
Is this not a conflict of interest? String this motherfucker up in the gallows. It is downright corrupt to write laws that benefit your franchise. Fuck this asshole with a rusted spoon. Take all this online anger and shove it in his smoothie king lobbies.
That won’t happen until you can’t buy food at the grocers. Because the threat of imprisonment outweighs the perceived threat of these actions. Even though, at the end of the day, this law is just as damaging to individuals as an actual prison.
There is some absolutely hilarious material in here, were it instead fictional.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.
“I keep trying to give them lunch breaks but they insist on doing what’s in the best interest my pocket lining!”
And my favorite, also from Roger Wilder:
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Could you imagine the delivery of this line, with just the right amount of pause after “give me a break” and the right expression to the camera if this were said on something like Parks and Rec?

“The sheep want to jump in my mouth” Mr. Wolf claimed.
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Ohhhh. Just harming young adults. Totally Clean conscience there
I’ve known about the Orphan Crushing Machine for a while, but it takes news stories like this to make one take a step back and realize that there are people actively maintaining and upgrading the Orphan Crushing Machine. jfc. Who wakes up and says, “crushed orphans are vital to my business plans,” with no sense of irony?
So anyway, I just want to check and see if anyone else noticed what’s going on here: to the extent that the comments are about specific policy (as opposed to generalized outrage at how cartoonishly evil the Republicans are), they’re about the “cutting lunch breaks for child workers” part.
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if that part was added mostly as a distraction to make it easier to push the unemployment benefit and workers comp cuts through (e.g. by offering to ditch the lunch breaks part while keeping the other stuff and pretending it’s some kind of fair compromise, when what really should’ve happened is binning all of it).

It’s just some greedy asshole who wants those 14 year olds to work a little harder and a little cheaper. Breaks cost money.
That’d at least be something. But republicans in my state actually are cartoonishly evil and that part is staying in so one senator can justify abusing some kids.
“We can’t slave away other races, neither other genders, without maybe getting into trouble, who are the next most vulnerable target that nobody gives a shit about guys?” Holy shit man. These dudes are just evil and lazy as shit. Instead of trying they just want to do things the easy way, by fucking up someone else, every time since forever. Pathetic accommodated slavers. Probably have small dicks as well.
It takes almost no time to say everything is wrong with these people, and the American business model, health care model, pay model, uhhh,, the American everything model is not only wrong, but deliberately cruel and evil, besides.
