Guess all those SEO pranks came back to bite you in the ass, huh?

Yeah, I was already in my late teens when I got my first phone, so I have no doubt you benefitted from learning young compared to me lol

Or, even better, an off-brand Discman 😄

I had absolutely no trouble until a slight delay on the iPod but had to give up a little later as my elder millennial ass forgot how to type on an old school Nokia 😄

Wayne Gretzky? 🤷

I’m getting just as much mileage out of this as I thought I would when I made it

It’s a common and often necessary medical procedure and as such, you have it backwards: you need to supply a compelling argument for banning something medically advantageous and sometimes life-saving.

As for privacy, it’s none of the government’s business which medically approved treatment women receive or don’t receive.

Free reign? Like it’s a fucking privilege to get doctor-approved medical assistance?

I’m done with your dumb and probably disingenuous arguments against basic bodily autonomy and medical privacy. Have the day you deserve.

You’d need to know her life in order to know what was possible for her to do during that time frame. There are myriad reasons why she might not have been able to get an abortion during that time period, not least of which that the entire state of Nebraska has only one place that performs them. That place might be far away from where she lives, she might have to take time off work or be fired etc etc.

I already told you how it’s a privacy issue: it’s a medical procedure and as such it’s nobody’s business than your own or that of your doctor.

You don’t know her life so no, you have no way of saying for sure whether she could.

And of COURSE abortion is a privacy issue, as well as one of bodily autonomy! It’s a medical procedure ffs!

If you think the privacy argument in Roe was spurious, you should see the quote from a 17th century witch hunter about “quickening” that the majority cited as part of the justification for their miscarriage of justice, pardon the pun. THAT’S some bullshit!

It’s ok, I know that the ones with the decency to feel bad about it aren’t the ones constantly getting us sick 😉

Thanks 🙂

When it comes to de facto healthcare availability, especially reproductive healthcare, most red states would compare unfavourably to the majority of African countries.

That’s what happens when you have a system based on profits over access for everyone, add an insurance industry whose main focus is to make sure that as little medical treatment as possible occurs and THEN add corrupt politicians whose owner donors think that even THAT is too generous towards the poors and also an invisible section of the bible says that forcing women to give birth to unwanted children while decreasing the number of places to do so safely is holiness itself.

Thank you!

I’m not American either, but since my country catches a cold when the US sneezes, I keep tabs on what’s happening over there…

That’s none of your business, though. It’s not your body. Besides, Nebraska is basically a third world country when it comes to maternal health care availability, which makes this applicable:

In low-income countries, half of newborns born at or below 32 weeks gestational age die due to a lack of medical access

Adb? Link, please?

In Nebraska or most other red states, could be having an abortion at all. Did you miss SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade using, I kid you not, quotes from the 1600s in their reasoning?
