 Brian's Comment on acrania article:You mean the 99.97% of woman that survive giving birth? That’s better than heart attacks or cancer

I would love to ask Brian where he got his statistics. My searches were futile. The best I could find said 27.4% of U.S. births out of a 100,000 result in death. I am not a mathematician; maybe Brian is. Maybe he figured out how many females in the United States get pregnant each year, and found the percentage that way?

Liberal mentality, no problem killing babies but go nuts about criminals getting the death penalty,they need some seriuos mental help

Jane Morris

Democrats want to slice and dice babies alive in the womb until birth. Pure evil.

Unintelligent people who spew lies that were fed to them. 

No, #Jane Morris, Democrats want females and their doctors to determine if a pregnancy is viable; and they want females to have their 14th Amendment right to liberty. Of course, #Jane Morris, maybe you do not believe women are now to be given the same rights as male citizens of the U.S. of A.?

#Peter Clemenza, no, Democrats do not condone killing babies. They believe in a woman's right to make her own choices regarding her health. Do not see rapists being castrated ~ not that castration prevents them from raping again with other objects or parts of their bodies.

The reason, #Peter Clemenza, people oppose the death penalty is that innocent people have already been put to death for crimes they did not commit. I do not label myself other than Independent voter, I choose candidates, not parties. Although I will probably never vote for a Republican again, even for City Council or other local election.

A person proven guilty of raping, killing a child, for instance; yeah, let the parents do as they want to them. I would not want to see them coddled; lock them up with other serial killers, rapists, heinous criminals, no cells to keep them safe from each other. No TVs, radios, mail, canteen. Just the basics. That they may suffer the same fate as they visited upon the children. 

Death does not punish them, it might save tax dollars in the long run, and prevents them from repeating their crime. I personally could not do the killing ~ except in a state of rage, perhaps. Perhaps you would be willing to "pull the switch," administer the injection. My Democrat sister (may she RIP) would gladly have pulled the switch. As righteous religious Christian as she was, she favored the death penalty. 

Just to be funny,  #Peter Clemenza, "Republican spelling..."

Why o why do these antis want to force a woman to carry to term a fetus with no skull. Hopefully this rare condition will abort itself prior to the restrictive 6 or 10 weeks ban on all abortions. If not, the poor lady might have to deliver a baby doomed to die within seconds of birth.

Not to mention, if it does abort after the alloted time, she might be denied a D & C. Unless a physician can prove, by not performing the needed D & C she could get an infection and die. 

As in the case of the arcania woman, would a doctor that performed the D & C need to go to court to prove it was needed to save the woman's life? Would medical staff deny a female a D & C for fear of violating asnine laws, facing fines? 

The man that support overthrowing Roe v Wade and create restrictive abortion laws can never conceive a fetus with no skull (or other deformities). They should not be allowed to make laws regarding a woman's health care. Women who side with those men, truly need to stop listening to preachers and let their God do the judging of strangers. Where is their empathy and love of neighbors that their Jesus had? 

Yahoo News

 I stopped watching Television news many years ago. When I was living in California, I did not own a television, TV was long a last choice, nothing better to do. I would rather be outdoors, reading a book or working on one project or another. 

Also in CA I read a lot of online newspapers. That was when they were all free; only needed an account to leave comments, which I did often. I checked out AOL news headlines. I do not recall how I ended up with Google Chrome. So now I check out Google headlines. I have used other search engines, but Google is just the fastest. 

The Central Park 5 ~ the former guy took out a full page ad in 4 New York newspapers demanding New York bring back the death penalty. Did I learn that via a Google search or Yahoo news article? Truly do not know where I first read about it. It definitely did not come from Yahoo news, because I never went there back before he got elected. 

I never forgot the Central Park 5 because my daughter almost got killed in a car accident. I was visiting her in the hospital thinking about the jogger in an NYC hospital. I might have still been reading the New York Daily News Sunday papers back then. I might have seen the ad. After the real rapist caused the boys (now young men) to be released from prison, T felt they should still be locked up. One boy confessed, he said, they should be in jail.

At the time when I read that the boy recounted his confession, I assumed rightly, it had been coerced out of him.If T had gotten his way, those boys would have been executed for a crime they did not commit. That is why I am against the death penalty ~ if even one innocent person is executed it is one too many.

There is also the case where cops busted into a sleeping man's apartment. He heard the crash close to where his baby was sleeping and shot in the direction of intruders. The cops raided the wrong apartment. But the guy was convicted of murdering a cop and was executed many years later. How is that justice? He was simply standing his ground. Jerks like Zimmerman can cry self-defense, but a sleeping man can not? 

Anyway, Chris & the lady in my prior post, often accuse people who use facts not insults to make a point, of following Fake News. They are, of course, the ones who follow Fake News; they never fact check, simply fall for any BS their idols spew. Sad world.

Truth Social

 Read an article about Truth Social not paying their bills. What else is new for a #45 founded project? 

Surprisingly the comments were anti-Don-the-Con. They pointed out that his grifting was well-known prior to his running for presidency. Like me, many who commented wondered why any citizen would vote for a corrupt, lying, business person. 

I did not copy the comments. A guy (or could be a female) named Chris got offended. Someone wondered how anyone could not know about T's long history of cheating contractors. Chris replied something like  "how could you know that ~ by reading Yahoo news articles, and fake news? 

I can not sign in at an article comments to add my own. I need to sign in, then go back to article, and hope to find the comment I wanted to reply to. Decided not to try; people like Chris are not interested in known facts. He probably gets his news from Truth Social or QAnon or the former guy's repeated lies, via Twitter or at his rallies. 

Many already told Chris the same as I wanted to say. I do not get news from Yahoo news. I recently started checking out headlines, maybe skimming an article, but mostly am there for the comments. Roe v Wade overturned by Supreme Court is factual news reported many places, not just at Yahoo. Are all those sources peddling Fake News?

The other day a I did sign in to Yahoo to ask a woman a question. I wanted to know where she got her info. She told me to do my own research; truth is out there if you look, and Stop doing Google searches. Huh? I no longer recall what she said ~ it sounded like Fake News to me. If her comment had any basis in fact, she could have given me the source. Instead she insults me. She also sounded off about using Yahoo as a source for news.

😎 I am guessing she got the lie, she was passing as fact, straight from Truth Social.😎

 Thank god for air conditioning. Let’s talk about refrigerators. I personally like my refrigerator. I know you all like yours. What about washing machines and dryers? Lord please God don’t make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have to hang them out on a line when we switch over to wind turbines and solar panels. I’m gonna be really pissed off about that. I mean, how absurd is this? I like the lights on. I wanna stay up later at night. I don’t wanna have to go to bed when the sun sets. It’s so silly! I mean, all of this is absolutely insane. ~ Marjorie Taylor Green

What is silly is Marjorie Taylor Green thinking wind turbines and solar panels will cause lights to go out after sunset. Maybe she is so wealthy she has new technology that allows her house lights to turn on automatically at sunset and go off at sunrise? 

Personally I loved hanging clothes outdoors on a line. Saved on utility bills, but sheets smelled so lovely and fresh. Miss living in homes with backyards. Why oh why do such stupid people get elected! That is insane.

When peeps talked about dumbing down of America I did not know they meant it was those elected to represent us were the ones getting dumber and dumber.

Cracker Barrel 

Fun Comments on article Are left-wing radicals pushing Cracker Barrel to the edge of the slippery slope?You will need to read the angry comments to understand some of the satire. Listed as Sarcastic comments:

• “Speaking on behalf of all liberals, I can tell you that replacing the meat at Cracker Barrel was at least 20th on our list of ‘goals for achieving world domination.’”
• “I twisted my ankle running to this comment section to see all the clogged artery rage over this.”
• “Thanks, Cracker Barrel, now my family won’t be able to dine there because the troves of hippy stoner vegetarian liberals will now be invading my favorite chain restaurant and pushing their immoral commie lifestyle on me and my children. I’ll be taking my hard-earned money to Waffle House or wherever we can smoke inside.”
• “This comment section is further proof we need to focus more on mental health in this country and get more people into therapy for anger issues.”
  

Not her body?

 Indiana state Rep. John Jacob (R): "The body inside of the mom's body is not her body. Let me repeat that: The body inside of the mom's body is not her body. Not her body, not her choice.“ Excuse me, no way a body can fit inside a body. What happens inside a woman's body concerns only her. I repeat: what happens inside a woman's body concerns only her.
Again: fertilized egg, cell divides, is a zygote, grows into a blastocyst, into embryo stage, into fetus stage, at term the fetus exits the womb, and a baby is born. Some fetus' die in the womb. If a woman has a dead fetus in her womb, I believe it is her choice to have it removed.
It is also a woman's choice to have a much needed D & C after that zygote, blastocyst, embryo, fetus aborts itself. No physician or woman needs to be accused of causing an abortion. 

These elected representatives are not representing citizens, just pushing their own uneducated opinions on us.

Wish people would wake up and start electing educated, knowledgeable people. 

Doctor Shortage in Texas

 https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/challenge-antiabortion-states-doctors-reluctant-162629136.html

"laws limiting the procedure have created confusion and uncertainty over what treatments are legal for miscarriage"

This is why government officials should not be making laws regarding women's health care. Doctors are considering moving their practices to Blue states to avoid unwittingly getting arrested for say, perhaps, providing a D & C after spontaneous miscarriage, that happened after restrictive states deadline for doctor assistance.

Those government officials need to pass a course on non-viable pregnancies, and female anatomy. I recently read about twins born with two heads, but only one body. Their parents did not abort the abnormal pregnancy, refused operation to separate them as one of the two would die.

Not my business, but it would disturb me to see a two-headed woman, and feel for the poor children who has her (them?) for teachers. 

Act of God?

 IN state Rep. Bartlett (D) introduces an amendment to the anti-abortion bill to outlaw erectile dysfunction drugs: "We're forcing young girls to be mothers, but not forcing the men to be fathers ... If an unwanted pregnancy is an act of God, then impotency must be an act of God." At least one man understands.

Allentown City Council

I wanted to reply to a guy in comments, but do not have an account. Yet.

Jeffrey J. Snyder

The supreme court ruling returned the abortion consideration back to the "states" not the cities. These codes will set up an in-state conflict the will wander through the courts and ultimately end up back at the supreme court where they will be struck down...again. You can't keep changing the rules until you get the outcome you want. Work the problem. Most unwanted pregnancies are the result of reckless behaviour not fringe exceptions. Work the problem, fix the behaviour and quit making tax payers cover the costs of bad actions.

Mr. Snyder does not know about couples desiring children, but instead got ectopic pregnancy or the fetus died in the womb. I have discussed this previously. Rapes are not a fringe exception. Some state laws, will outlaw needed D & C's after a spontaneous miscarriage, if, say, the ectopic pregnancy happen after 6 weeks.

Good, if city codes created conflict and "wander through the courts..." ending back with the Supreme Court. 

Yeah, a reckless 16-year-old boy that pestered his girl friend into proving her love by having sex with him should have used a condom. Or, before she said, okay, asked her parents to get her on birth control. Yeah, right. Yes, Mr. Jeff J. Snyder, start a crusade to educate boys about safe sex. Make sure no college student rapes classmates. Stop married men from asking other women to have sex with them. Stop men from asking married women to have sex with them, usually taking advantage of a vulnerable woman whose husband is cheating on her or otherwise abusing her.

Fix it Jeff! Make boys and men stop having sex, except with their wives who want and can afford children. While you are at it Mr. Jeff J Snyder, outlaw Viagra. Fix boys and mens behavior, Jeff. Stop fathers, uncles, brothers, mother's boyfriends from climbing into bed with their daughters (and sons ,) Just Do It, Jeff. 

The problem is men like you, Jeffrey J Snyder who do not know enough about pregnancy, its causes, reasons a woman might be forced to have a doctor assisted early termination of pregnancy. Bad enough females who should know better, have blinders on when it comes to strangers' pregnancies. Men who never gave birth to a stillborn baby are so clueless.
