“RootsAction.org” comes up with *worst* idea in a week full of very bad ideas…
Possible rotating tag line?

Wow, can we give Mr. Beutler and that offensive donkey’s behind who called So Carolina Dem voters low info for not preferring Bernie the same time-out? But they don’t get to talk to each other either, since they are so high on their own opinions?
“Channeling Dem leaders I imagine”… HE IS A DEM LEADER MR BEUTLER.
That’s Chairman Thompson to you!

So apparently, according to the Texas Medical Association, they’ve gotten reports of Texas hospitals refusing to do pregnancy care such as abortions for ectopic pregnancies. Which means, that innocent women will die. Ectopic pregnancies can never be viable. I am beyond so fucking pissed right now. Make the Republicans own this; they’re all murderers

Hello. I filled my gas tank yesterday for just a bit over $10.00. Why isn’t the press talking about falling gas prices?

@Lyrebird: I used to be a big fan of Brian Beutler. trump broke his brain, I guess. Now he retweets Will Stincel, which to me is pretty much the propeller beanie of Left Twitter.

Underestimation.

Dear God, things are going badly for Mehmet:

I remember him. I was wondering why I hadn’t been seeing him quoted here. When did he become such an idiot?
Also, AL, what ever happened to Bob Schooley? I remember you quoted his tweets a lot

Is every one of those assholes a white male liberal?
I wonder how much fascism it’ll take to get them to stop analyzing Dems’ body language.
Another Scott
@SiubhanDuinne: Or neither!
It’s one of those koans, isn’t it??
Cheers,

Is it possible to feel pity for a Republican?
Mehmet Oz will answer that question.

worse. Translation: “*I* am the problem!”

How can they justify not removing an ectopic pregnancy? This will never be viable…. Just sickening.

Ha ha ha… Thank you for that image. Nothing against propeller beanies of course.
So thankful for Anne Laurie and WG and everyone here at John Cole’s play and kvetch house.

LOL. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh

@Gin & Tonic: I don’t get why rich guys like Oz don’t relax and enjoy their money instead of jumping into something they know nothing about.* Fetterman’s social media staff are flaying him. And I am here for it!
* TFG is of course the poster boy for this.

I’m following the Does Pregnant TX Woman Count As 2 In HOA Lane story, could be interesting…

Dude probably wouldn’t be able to find his way to Reading Terminal Market.

@Mike in NC:
The guy really is a snake oil salesman through his show; I always see him on the supermarket tabloid covers; “Dr. Oz’s Miracle Keto Gluten-Free Diet will help you lose 50 lbs in a Week!” Another quack foisted on us by Oprah, the other being “Dr.” Phil, whose entire schtick revolves around him being a conservative scold. I recommend looking up Big Joel’s Dr Phil videos on YT
It’s almost sad, considering Oz is a legitimate cardiologist, it’s just that he’s using medical credentials and reputation to endorse fake medical BS

@Gin & Tonic: Can you imagine the blood bath when Fetterman’s actually able to campaign again? Wish I could get back to Pennsylvania for a few weeks this fall.

@pat:
Wait until you read the story about a woman who had an abortion to save her life from an ectopic pregnancy and then returned to the doctor four years later in tears demanding to know why the doctor did not do a re-implant (of whatever the collection of cells is in an ectopic pregnancy, my ignorance could not be more complete) because she had been captured by the forced-birth science deniers and utterly mislead.

@HumboldtBlue:
….I’m pretty sure that’s not possible, right?

@bbleh:
I haven’t been to the Reading terminal in 40 years, but I am always reminded of this wonderful flash mob from 2011 when I see it mentioned online.
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):
Utterly impossible, I at least know that much about an ectopic pregnancy.
MagdaInBlack
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Right.

@frosty: Oz doesn’t know that Pennsylvania is the the Keystone State. He thinks it’s the Stepstone State.

Good evening BJ.
Coming off lurking a bit to say thank you all for the words of condolences and encouragements after the death of my sister.
It really meant a whole lot to me and I even shared the blog comments with my remaining sisters. We really appreciated them all!
The Lodger
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): And why in the name of Christiaan Barnard is a cardiologist promoting cheesesteaks?

Nice to see your name again, have some more love from the North Coast. Are we to consider you a lurker now?
Cuz Water Girl had you earlier with a lurker thread.

i think it’s fair to call the ectopic creature a “feral zygote.”

That’s a rotating tag. I’m not sure in what space it should be a rotating tag, but it should. ‘Cause that’s good.

Texas is also suing against the Biden administration’s directive that abortions MUST be done to save the life of the mother.

@lamh36: We’ve all missed you, while realizing you have had so many things on your plate.
And let me add my condolences to the others—even at a remove it’s hard to think of your family, as close as you all are and as enthusiastic about life and adventures as you have seemed from what you’ve shared over the years, lessened by such a loss.

@pat: Ah, they’ve written into law that the possiblity must be entertained. It can’t happen, but you’ve got to spend time verifying what you already know.

Uncle Cosmo
I’d love to ask one of those forced-birthers why the bazillionaires that fund them, and their overly-flush megachurches, haven’t gone all-in on developing technology that would permit the routine, safe and highly effective removal of gestating cells (ectopic and other nonviables as well as routine) from one woman and their implantation into the womb of another woman who either wants a baby (but can’t have one in the standard manner) or is willing to surrogate-mother one for a reasonable sum. That ought to be a slam-dunk for medical science & if they’d started even a decade ago they might have the technology by now.
So why didn’t they do it? Because the point isn’t to “save the unborn child” but to punish those “sluts” by forcing them to carry the baby to term and then either having to support it or to give it up so that some nice whitebread fundanazi couple can raise another kid as cannon-fodder for the culture wars.
