Men waste literally millions of sperm when they have a certain idea and act on it. An embroyo is part sperm, part egg, which makes the sperm half a person. Where is the outrage over the death of millions of sperm?

If you think my comments are nonsense, you are correct. Mark Robinson telling a woman that her body is no longer hers because she is pregnant is nonsense too.

Noted “jurist” Hale tried women as witches. That’s who Alito idolizes.

Claudia, thank you. Excellent horror story of our reality.

For years when people would ask “who among the famous people would you want to invite to a dinner party?” I would respond “the Obamas, Jane Goodall, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, the Clooneys, (among half a dozen others) and I now add ℂ𝕝𝕒𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕒 𝕃𝕠𝕟𝕘, 𝕁𝕖𝕗𝕗 𝕋𝕚𝕖𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕙, ℍ𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 ℂ𝕠𝕩 ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕒𝕣𝕕𝕤𝕠𝕟, 𝕒𝕟𝕕 𝕁𝕠𝕪𝕔𝕖 𝕍𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖.“

A few years back an Alabama woman was jailed for being shot whilst pregnant. Apparently it was her responsibility to not put the pregnancy in danger. I believe she got 5 years.

Anyone who still thinks Ayatollahs only happen to Muslims needs to wake up fast.

With Oligarchy economics in charge in America, we’re already half-Russian.

Now all we need is a Dictator to be the next Democratic casualty. To establish a facist government - just like in Russia - a country with a constitutional democracy, at least on paper.

This is how fucked we are.

That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.

So well done. Thank you. Your essays always have me drop whatever I’m doing.

Waiting for the day when one can be arrested for throwing out a used condom (or are we already there and I missed it?)

Yet where is their support for children who have actually been born? Zip, zero, nada. No early childhood development funds, defunding school lunches and after school programs. A-OK to shoot them down in school.

Theocracy is an unholy alliance between those like minded persons who think any crime is justified, if a supreme entity is invoked during the act of the crime.

Well NC is trending purple. It currently has a Democrat in the governors mansion. There’s a lot of young people in the triangle and Asheville who will not like what they’re hearing.

I think the more NC hears his batshit, racist, anti semitic, religious zealotry the more he’ll go down in flames. And he’ll take half the legislature with him.

This may work out.

Hell I’d put NC in Joes column.

I respect everyone’s religion, however, I will fight like hell to make sure their religion beliefs do not interfere with mine!

I respect our Constitution and I will fight like hell against anyone’s wanting to incorporate religion into to it to pass any laws! There’s a reason for separation of church and state/government!

This country was built on religious freedom, so anyone trying to change that, must be voted out of office or impeached based on our Constitution. This means all those whose jobs are to protect it!

I don’t believe the Alabama Supreme Court’s decision is a valid one because it was based on religious beliefs and not our Constitutional rights! Their decision must be appealed!

Everyone have a wonderful evening! 😊💙💙👍🏾

If President Biden wins re-election and has both Houses of congress, he will drive over 4 new rational and liberal justices on the back of a D9 bulldozer and end the Revanchists' rapture.
