In US tort law, a fetus is part of the pregnant person's body as well.
This notion that women carry fetuses like a Tamagotchi in their pockets drives me crazy! Embryos & fetuses are hard wired into our uteruses.
@MetamorphosisRx
I try to control my impulse to defend myself. Then I remember that I was raised in a white supremacist culture and will spend the rest of my life unlearning bad stuff.
@RealGClash
Please support this GoFundMe to benefit a traveler who was beaten and left naked by robbers. A preacher and a banker refused to help him because of his religion and ethnicity. I took the traveler to the Jericho Inn. The GoFundMe will pay for his room, board, and medical care.

The variable they have in common is white supremacy.
That's what brought evangelical leaders into the anti-abortion movement, and it's why our criminal justice system is crap.

Maybe I'm naive, but I don't see my fellow pro-choicers storming the Supreme Court building. That's more of a forced birther thing.
@shannonrwatts
I worked full time in juvenile court for eight years, so I immediately think how I would represent these children. They are immature, and are in foster care so that means trauma. Their families failed to properly care for them.
Note the sheriff's attitude about them.

Old white lady here. I am a retired lawyer.
Your associate threatened "to destroy everything [Ms. Gandy] worked for."
Even meritless bar complaints must be responded to. It's stressful and time consuming.
Stop defending the white supremacist lady. Make her make amends.
@Omahuson
Mr. Hakiwai would have hated The Andy Griffith Show. It's set in all white Mayberry, which was inspired by Mt. Airy, NC. No Black actors ever appeared on the long running show.
I've been to Mt. Airy. Black people live there.
Mayberry was a 1960s white fantasy.
@rebecca_fachner
Pregnant women could be openly discriminated against in employment until 1978. They weren't guaranteed 12 weeks unpaid family medical or pregnancy leave until 1993. Women were economically dependent if they had babies.
@notcapnamerica
A parent saying that his estrangement from children is mutual is saying that he failed as a parent. I don't care if your name is Brian I or Charles III, your obligations are lifelong. It's a parent's job to keep communication open.
@OffThePress1
Legitimate news sources don't need to pay to have their posts seen.
You published lies by Rep. Comer. His credible witness just got arrested for lying.
@cocaineki_
This wasn't covered in the kindergartens I attended.
I wish I'd been prepared for the man who exposed himself to me when I was around nine years old. I probably wouldn't have waited 20 years to tell my mother. I would have known to memorize his tag number.
@leftofcentermi
This is what the Establishment Clause is supposed to protect us against. England had internal wars between Catholics, Protestants, and Puritans, each thought they should rule the others.
@AITA_reddit
Tell your obstetrician that you want these men out of the labor & delivery room, and get a Medical Power Attorney designating someone you trust to make your medical decisions.
Break the news to husband before the due date.
@Acyn
This resonated with me. In 2019, Carol Henderson told the Alabama House Health Committee about her friend whose fetus had a fatal anomaly. She had it removed by C section so that the fetus would remain intact.
Carol said, "this was not an abortion."

Try defending women's right to abortion and mediocre white men will appear in droves to tell you to keep your legs together.

@chrislhayes
Blame should be placed on the legislators who passed a terrible law, the governor who signed the bill, and the voters who want government to make reproductive decisions rather than women.
@JohnArchibald
Another trial date rolled around. The City of Brookside eventually dismissed the case.
To sum up, Brookside defended a man who was possibly abusing his girlfriend and had the girlfriend's mother arrested and jailed for calling police.
Stay out of Brookside.
@GovernorKayIvey
Alabama, where 25 pregnant girls under age 15 were able to get safe and legal abortions in 2020.
Kay Ivey signed a bill making their abortions a crime.

I don't know why you think it's liberals who believe that violent men have a right to satisfy their sexual needs. That's not a feminist notion, that's patriarchy in action.
@_Kinimaka_
You don't know why women choose to abort their pregnancies. You only know why you would choose to abort a pregnancy that you contributed your sperm to.
@wildstein
White man was age38 when he put his poop on his neighbor's door handles, blames his youth and a Black man. Also has criminal record involving drugs and firearms. Naturally, he's a Republican.
@theadeniran
The effect upon me would be exactly the same as if she and my father didn't have sex that week. I would never have come into existence. I did not yet exist when my mother was four months pregnant. At that point, the brain hasn't developed sufficiently to allow consciousness.

This is a highly magnified photo of a human embryo at five weeks gestation. Its length is one to two hyphens long. Abortion of pregnancy interrupts the process of creation of a new infant; it doesn't kill babies. Respect the rights of pregnant women.
@BrianKarem
Mr. Karem hit the nail on the head with this:
"... many of the states that joined the Confederate insurrection 160 years ago are still trying to undermine the federal government."
I don't know why Alabama joined the union twice.
@ALGOP
doesn't believe in the Supremacy Clause.
Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.
NO.
We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.
@kayiveyforgov
The language of opponents of safe and legal abortion sounds a lot like the language of enslavers. There was no concern about women & girls, only an interest in breeding replacements for dying enslaved people. It's no coincidence that states in the former Confederacy ban abortion.
@ashtonpittman
The Bush v. Gore decision surprised me, a naive lawyer who believes in judicial restraint & avoidance of political questions. The Dobbs decision broke my heart. I think I favor what used to be called conservative jurisprudence. Modern conservatives aren't judicial conservatives.

@pauld_mcclain
I practiced paternity law. One man found out one of his children wasn't his biological child and said he regretted getting the test. It's got to be traumatic for fathers and children.
Stacey Abrams is the daughter of Methodist ministers, valedictorian of her high school class, graduated magna cum laude from Spellman, earned an MPA from Univ. of Texas, & a JD from Yale Law, a tax lawyer, entrepreneur, author, and assembly woman.
Not just a sister-in-law.
@kept_simple
While I was at the Univ. of Alabama School of Law, it dawned on me that Harvard law students probably used the same textbooks and read the same case law I studied.
Lately I've noticed a lot of crooks and hacks in the news went to prestigious law schools.

Q: "... fetus has no chance of survival."
A: "I assume the docs till try to save both."
One of the reasons that there are people who advocate for criminalizati9on of abortion is that THEY NEVER LISTEN.
@notcapnamerica
Reading this made me ill. I'm proud that the girl and her mother filed a civil suit and got him fired. The prosecutor better get them in front of a grand jury! He needs to lose his home, his investments, & his freedom.
@VoteGloriaJ
Rep. Farmer, embryos and fetuses are in uteruses, not bellies.
Who are you protecting embryos and fetuses from?
The answer is: the girl or woman who has considered the facts and determined that she must abort the pregnancy.
Government is lousy at making moral decisions.
@missionpreborn
Note that advocates for criminalization of abortion NEVER use correct scientific terminology.
They picture infants instead of embryos and early fetuses.
This is a solicitation for donations. Antiabortion grift is lucrative.
The DA who prosecuted Ms. Shoemaker, Brandon Hughes, was later prosecuted himself. He pleaded guilty to Perjury in the 1st degree and using his public office for personal gain. He was sentenced to ten months in jail.
PERJURY, Y'all!
@kayiveyforgov
If you want to protect babies, support their parents with a living wage, affordable housing, adequate medical care, a clean environment, and good public schools.
Note that Kay Ivey claims that other people's babies belong to HER. This is false. She is childless. See 13th A.

That's a tiny group of pediatricians who can't separate their religious beliefs from their work.
Here is the authentic group of pediatricians.
@JohnArchibald
When the police interviewed her, the daughter denied that she was assaulted (battered spouses sometimes protect their abusers).
Brookside issued a warrant against the mother for harassing communications.
The cop failed to appear for the trial. The judge continued the case.➡️

The Confederate monument at Arlington was paid for by the United Daughters of the Confederacy who put up many monuments in an attempt to rehabilitate the rebels' image and create the "Lost Cause" myth in the early 1900s.

This little girl asked me in the grocery store how the sperm and egg got together. I told her that night. The next day, she told my husband "she knows more than she's saying."
