Idaho GOP will not criminalize miscarriage

https://idahocapitalsun.com/2022/07/16/no-exception-for-life-of-mother-included-in-idaho-gops-abortion-platform-language/

The 2022 Idaho GOP convention has ended, and it turned out about as well as expected.

The term "atrocity" comes to mind.

Get to know the name of Scott Herndon well. Herndon is an extremist from Bonner County who makes Paul Hill and Scott Roeder seem sweet and gentle. If you've ever been to Idaho's Kootenai County Fair you'll have seen a HUGE booth advocating the abolition of abortion. Herndon and his family run it. He's currently running unopposed for the state Senate, having unseated a long-term senator in the 2022 primary.

Well...Herndon cooked up a plank to the party platform that is so extreme not only does it not allow abortion to save the mother's life, it also criminalizes miscarriage. Fortunately slightly cooler heads prevailed and they amended Herndon's crap to take out the miscarriage crime. However, women will still die of ectopic pregnancies here.

In slightly good news, the platform no longer declares President Biden didn't win the election.

Lindell gets a boot-shaped state upside his backside!

America's Crackhead returns with another dive into absolute batshit lunacy.

In this one, Trump's Favorite Fluffer sets down his electron microscope to claim Janice McGeachin, current lieutenant governor and future resident of Pocatello, really won the primary over incumbent Governor Little and it was fraud that handed it to Little.

Apparently you CAN win if you run in a state with 44 counties and lose forty of them, like she did.

Crimo was dressed as a girl when he allegedly performed the Highland Park Parade Shooting

WGN is carrying this photo of Crimo dressed in a wig, makeup and a cute outfit, and appears to have padded his chest. After the massacre he abandoned his gun on the fire escape and blended into the crowd to get away.

Is it possible the Hard Right was planning to use this guy to demonstrate how violent drag queens are and prove they need to be banned?

Does anybody here remember Brandon Brundridge?

We all know about the “Let’s Go Brandon” crap.

You may have also heard of eight-year-old Brandon Brundridge, an autistic boy who saw all the signs and thought they were cheering him on. These damned signs brought this little kid out of his shell. His mom reports that after seeing the signs he started doing things like learning to swim and riding his bike without training wheels. His mom wrote a kid’s book titled Brandon Spots His Sign.

This weekend, Brandon Brown brought Brandon’s family to the track to meet him and watch the Xfinity Series race he was in, and carried the cover of Brandon’s book on the hood of his car.

Unfortunately Little Brandon didn’t get a chance to join Big Brandon in Victory Lane because the 68 got caught up in The Big One and was knocked out of the race, but it was still a really nice thing to do.

One thing I don't understand about Republicans...

Why are they not fighting to allow tax deductions for fetuses? You’d think that if a clump of cells the size of a lentil has all the rights of a born human, it should be worthy of a tax deduction…and, since pregnancy is the most expensive part of having a child, parents could really use the tax break.

Will the anti abortion states ban home pregnancy tests?

Unless they somehow manage to establish “pregnancy test checkpoints” at all airports and on every road leading out of a state - which would be extremely hard because every state has a lot of little back roads that cross the state line - the only way they could absolutely assure they knew who every pregnant woman was is to make sure all pregnancy testing was done in a doctor’s office.

So…what are the odds the antis will take home pregnancy tests off the shelves of stores?

Is gas starting to go down in your area?

Last week I filled up at a Chevron station that was charging $5 per gallon for regular. Last night I drove past the same station and they were at $4.94.

Still not great, but a little better.

I have a small medical question

A pregnancy test works by detecting the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), which is only created when you're pregnant. When you stop being pregnant, the level of HCG in your system tapers off until it falls below the level of detection.

Now...let's assume that Mary Jones is pregnant and doesn't want to be. Mary lives in a state where abortion has been banned and exit/entry pregnancy tests are administered to all women traveling across the state line.

The question: How long after Mary's abortion in New Mexico does she have to get back into Texas before her HCG level drops below the limits of detection?

There's an issue we need to seriously consider here

Are we going to call the fat fuck who tried to declare himself President for Life the Manhattan Strangler, the New York Strangler or the Palm Beach Strangler?

On the date Idaho turns on its abortion ban...

I will do ten searches a day, every day, for abortion information.

I am a single male and all my closest friends are post-menopausal.

I urge everyone who (1) can't get pregnant or get anyone else pregnant and (2) lives in a red state to start searching for abortion information online. If the bastards are going to breach the federal wiretapping laws to chase down people getting abortions, let's give them A LOT of spurious data.

Even though large tracts of America and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Republican Party and all the odious apparatus of fascist rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in Texas, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our nation, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
