    ALSO:

    May be a Twitter screenshot of one or more people and text that says 'Middle Age Riot @middleageriot Allowing Donald Trump back on Twitter is like surgically implanting a hemorrhoid.'


    I think Elon Musk is one heck of a trouble-maker for even considering the Loon getting Twitter privileges back. Don't know why the Reps. always feel it so necessary to go against all reason and sanity.

    Then again, I keep hearing that maybe Musk is not going to buy after all. Come on man. Make up your mind. So it is supposition that Loon could get Twitter posting back. First, it has to be known if Twitter will be sold or not. In either case Musk is in serious need of a head examination.

    May be an image of 7 people and text that says 'When discussing the propriety of protesting outside of Supreme Court Justices' homes, it's important to remember that in the 90's, the court held that protesting outside of the homes of abortion clinic employees is protected by the First Amendment. @THE LAW BOY OCCUPY DEMOCRATS'


    So far as I know -- the only person having a stupid hissy about this is Ted Cruz who is calling the peaceful protestors a MOB and that they are worse then 1/6. He was speaking to Fox News at the time. Way to go Teddy brown nose. You likely have helped cement Fox talking points now and we will likely hear a lot of this -- no matter whose house or which judge. I hope the only place it will work is with the stupidest maga people. Most others know what rights ALL here have. Pictures on tv show one of the most peaceful protests ever and THAT is all. No crazy flags, no one trying to find someone to beat and no one trying to break in etc. What an idiot ( but willing for the benefit of Fox and the MAGA's ) little Cruz is making of himself.

    illinoislady,

    I agree with you on not blaming the mods. I view them as tools as mouthpieces for those in charge at bco but they are not the ones making changes or decisions. They may be feeling just as powerless as many of us are.

    So if birth control becomes illegal too, does that include vasectomy

    Ruth - like you, I am sad to say I only log on and read a few threads in "my favorites". I no longer try to search for information. I no longer try to read new threads to help new people. Sad days.

    Edited to say - Jackie, if you go to the glitches thread be prepared to read for a VERY long time.

    spookiesmom - I think it’s Alabama that wants to outlaw all types of birth control. Wonder if vasectomy is included in their list of they’re only targeting womens contraception

    They will ban female contraception but make sure males have ready access to, forgive my vulgarity, "penis helpers". Anything that involves enhancement of male sexual pleasure is approved by insurance companies including Medicare (including penile implants) but try to get some female products and you find they are not covered by your work health insurance.

    Issue I have with pro-lifers is that they are only pro-birth and the hell with the child (and its parent) after it is born. Agree with the meme about the members of the SC that have shady backgrounds/philosophies.

    Ruth, in honor of getting IMAGES back I found a meme to share. Not that it has much to do with anything going on right now -- but just because I loved the dog in the picture. It's good though.

    See the source image

    I am so glad this has been returned. For everyone of course, but especially for you ladies here. Politics being a major stress producer for the ladies who come here -- well we really needed the IMAGES and I was really feeling everyone's pain over having lost the ability to post the images. Since it has been hard to be here, using those images gave us all some dimension and gave us a piece of something familiar to hold onto.

    Now I'll keep hoping for some of the other hoped for changes.

    I know in Roe v. Wade it was decided as a right to privacy issue, but abortion access is more of a religious freedom issue. (It's actually a body autonomy issue, but too many politicians don't believe women are real people with real bodies. We're just walking gestation chambers.) There are no reasons to prohibit abortion that are not founded in religious beliefs. And even those are based on ideas that were formed after the founders of said religions were long gone - the actual Holy Books say nothing about it. (Except for the Tanakh/Old Testament that states that life begins with the first breath - so abortion is not considered murder.)

    Forcing a modern religious belief on all citizens, in defiance of their own religious beliefs or lack thereof, is a clear separation of church and state infraction.

    I have no use for Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Both have been an obstacle in getting much of Biden’s agenda accomplished.

    So this is typical of Reps. with their crazy agenda. Tom Cotton has sent a letter to the DOJ ( he knows nothing will happen ) that people should not be allowed protest at an SCJ's home. Unless they ( the Reps ) are wanting to protest -- then all bets are off. The other side is -- were that decreed the chopping block would come out for the next thing -- which is what got protestors at supreme court justices houses in the first place.

    Less attention has been given, in discussions and analysis in the media, to the actual text of Alito's opinion, especially the heinous cultural assumptions and curiously faulty historical analysis and reasoning

    Maybe we could reframe the abortion debate into a pure bodily autonomy debate. "No person shall be forced or compelled to allow their tissues and organs to be used for the sustenance and maintenance of another person's life against their wishes." It's already in line with organ donation procedures. Chisandy, how does that look at first blush?
