So any right-wing asshat can sue a doctor who had performed abortions (or anyone semi-related to an abortion), even if they never met or used their services?
What’s next, are they going to make it legal to sue anyone who is pro-choice or holds liberal views?
They would if they could but luckily that would go against the first amendment they claim to love so dearly.
What likely next is, and I forget the term for it, but laws that expand beyond the states border. For example if TX was to pass a law saying that if a Texas resident travels to Illinois and gets an abortion that would be illegal under Texas law, then she can face criminal penalties when she returns to Texas the same as if she had undergone the procedure in Texas. They will come up with this when they notice that medical tourism for abortions becomes a thing.
As horrifying as a law like that is, we have at least two legal precedents for laws like this. US citizens are held to their states age restrictions regarding sexual consent when travelling abroad and “I was overseas where it’s legal,” even when you can prove it, is not a defence against a failed drug test for anyone who is subject to the federally controlled Department of Transportation drug tests.
Extraterritorial laws. I had to look it up. Apparently the US also has other types of these laws including tax laws, anti trust laws, and the UK has one aimed at stopping female genital mutilation.
Today is the TVA French leaders debate. Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, Erin O’Toole and Yves-François Blanchet are all attending.

I dunno Rogan has always been a horse’s ass and his followers are sheep so this might actually be beneficial for them.
Ehhhh I don’t know if horse dewormers are good for sheep either, man.
Ivermectin has a variant used for sheep and ungulates. Worth noting they have one for humans, these people would look the tiniest bit less stupid if they too that one. (But only by a little)
that wouldn’t be a problem, what with their penchant for cognitive dissonance.
Perfect. 
Reading the headline is enough to know.
Republicans trust main-in voting again. Evidently it is A-OK so long as it gets rid of their opponents.
Call me crazy but I think Champagne should be the only place to call champagne, champagne. Russian can sod off or call it Sham-paygn like Zapp Brannigan does.
The thing with it is that it has its origins in that, due the oppressively fiscal focused US Healthcare system - there is a major difference between trying to access x thing for humans and x thing for animals.
To get it for humans you need to see a doctor who needs to assess your insurance and needs to refer you to a specialist who needs to write you a prescription based on the approved supplier list for your insurance and then you have to find a pharmacy that stocks it.
To get it for animals you need to go to pharmacy that stocks animal products and tell them its for your horse/pig/cow and pay money.
This has led to an existing culture in the US, particularly in rural areas - where people will go buy products for animals to treat injuries and common illnesses (like worms) and risk the side effects/problems because the alternative is having a massive debt.
So when you have an uncle out in the country who tells you about how he does this when he injuries himself, gets worms, etc its only a small step for someone in a more urban environment to decide they’re going to do that too but with something they have arbitrarily decided combats Covid-19, rather than say getting antibiotics for an open wound or clearing out words you got from drinking unpotted water.
Well since we are still talking about medicine and idiots (by that I mean the government of Texas), evidently the Satanic Church is trying to dodge Texas’ anti-abortion laws.
satan is literally an edge lord loser. didn’t win even once, even in that paradise lost/regained fanfic or whatever it is.
jesus though? jesus is punk fucking rock, mate. fucks up bankers, helps sick and poor people, throws wicked parties. dude was a carpenter that ended up a woodwork project. that’s poetry right there.
but like anything that gets popular, including satan, it’s his fandom that lets him down.
I wouldn’t go that far in point of fact there is no real hard decree against abortion in the Bible, in fact abortion is never used and hardly ever described in the Bible. Any biblical justifications are mostly excuses churches and Christian groups use to control women.
Reminder its the General News thread.
Not the uniformed theology thread.
