The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Roe protected them from the difficulties of drafting regulations that could handle all the myriad scenarios. Now they've got their fingers caught in the blender. If restrictions are too tight, you get horror stories of women whose pregnancies have gone terribly wrong but can't get medical procedures necessary to save their fertility or force them into life-threatening situations. But if they're too loose, the base gets outraged when their thought leaders rail against the loose regulations.

Or kill women, as is starting to happen. And it causes even worse health outcomes (and life expectancy) in the deep red states that have abortion bans as doctors start to leave the state.

This is exactly why passing laws based on religious dogma will always be repressive and unpopular.

You can’t argue with what God told you, or more precisely, what some religious fanatic believes God told them.

If Trump loses this election, “I was able to kill Roe v Wade” was the final nail in his coffin.
