It's honestly been several years since I was reading up on it and right now, because of the huge influx of articles ect related to the abortion issues I'm having trouble finding the ones that are relevant because most right now are about abuse and unconsenting rather than the consensual relationships, which obviously have drastically different psychological profiles ect.

My guess is they are offended by the implications of only 2 genders or the implication of it being that easy, but honestly, I SERIOUSLY doubt that its anyone other than drama starved attention seekers who actually care. I mean seriously, its a SNAPCHAT FILTER, hardly a life shattering forum

Yes, apparently they ARE real, but holy cannoli, they are pricey. Starting price is over $200 for a SINGLE MINI rose, and upto to $1700 for a bouquet.

Okay, for the umpteenth time, the "right to privacy" isn't Constitutional, and THAT is the basis for why RvW was a unsubstantiated ruling, which the states intend to use as grounds for a new statute once these laws are challenged and taken to the Supreme Court. And we have established everyone knows these are instituted specifically to challenge the RvW ruling, BUT in order to overturn the ruling, the state has to SUCCESSFULLY defend their law as well, something these extremist laws make impossible. Its like asking your parents to extend your curfew by telling them you need more time to smoke crack.
And NO, there is no federal statute stating abortions are illegal after 24 weeks, because all aspects are determined state by state and every bill that has been introduced to set cut off term have been stalled in either the Senate or Congress. In fact the only federal restriction is the outlaw of Partial Birth Abortion which is just so sickening I don't know how they were ever legal.

So what about malpractice, he wasn't a doctor. Was FRAUD not a crime? Or criminal negligence?

And yes, it is unconstitutional because the 14th Amendment grants the right to bodily integrity, and to make decisions about family. Its pretty much the same reason that the government cannot force someone to donate anything (blood, organs, bone marrow) even if that person is the only possible way to save the recipients life. We are not obligated to sacrifice our bodily autonomy to save another, especially if at the time they are not self sustaining and won't be for months. Now, once the fetus becomes reasonably viable out of utero (aprox 6 months), I would say that changes, for one the woman would have had plenty of time to weigh her options, but that is a far cry from any of these new bans.

Yes, @guestwho, but by even considering let alone passing a ban that refuses to allow an exemption for victims is a slap in the face of women, clearly they matter less than a zygote. By implementing a law so extreme they are literally guaranteeing it will be put down with prejudice in the Supreme Court, without even coming close to challenging the standing Roe v Wade ruling, which is the main long term goal of these bills. Even Pat "feminism causes witchcraft" Robertson came out and stated that Alabama's ban was too extreme, yet still Missouri followed suit and also passed a "no exceptions" law, though at least they have an 8 week window. The entire point is to be able to defend the law SUCCESSFULLY in the Supreme Court in order to overturn RoeVsWade and establish a new precedent. That will not happen with an extremist law with no room for leniency or compassion.

@borkius states institute their own individual laws. Each one can have a different cut off. Alabama is from the moment of conception. And now there are TWO states who refused to include exceptions for victims of rape. That officially makes their abortion laws less lenient than friggin SAUDI ARABIA.

We didn't have uniforms in high
school but my middle school did because it was in a REALLY bad area (we moved between last year of middle and freshman year) and we had to wear uniforms so there wasn't issues with gang colors ect.

Its actually worse now than in the early 2000s when I was in school, though as with most things, it varies dramatically by region. There have been cases of girls being sent home for showing COLLAR BONE in recent years. Personally I live in an area where it's normal to hit 115+ for 3 solid months, so they are a little less rigid when it comes to students just trying not to die from heat strokes on the bus. When I was in High School the rule was the skirt/shorts had to be at least so long that with arms at your sides your fingertips didn't touch skin. I tested this once by wearing a stupid short dress that way a good 8+ inches above my knees and barely covered by bum, but because my legs are long and I stood with my shoulders up my fingers only hit cloth. I put on jeans under it before 1st period because I just have never been comfortable in short anything but I was curious. Now, that SO wouldn't fly.

The real harm according to scientists is less physical and more sociological, because it creates isolated pockets of family communities cut off from the rest of society and can damage the physiological development of all members of the group.

It depends on the closeness of the relationship and the frequency of the occurrences of inbreeding, the more closely the parents are related the smaller the genetic "pool" and the higher percentage of a chance for any potential genetic disorder/abnormalities that may be harbored in their genes to surface. It's like a lottery drawing, the more diverse the selection exponentially increases potential combinations of genes and thus decreases the likelihood that both parties carry markers for the same defects.

There's also an insane amount of "junk" DNA with no discernible function but are vestiges of ancestral evolutionary phases.

Okay, so heres the accurate article, but I can't ignore this line "The plague affects both ferrets and their main prey: prairie dogs" WAIT, I'm honestly VERY unsure how to feel about this. I thought prairie dogs were bigger than ferrets. And I swear I thought ferrets are, like insects or something. I'm just really lost.

This is also an important thing to keep in mind when choosing sexual partners, on both side. I'm not being puritanical or anything, just pragmatic. Birth control doesn't always work, so even if you are safe, there is ALWAYS a chance that it you insert Part A into Part B you can end up with a pregnancy. (And for those oh so mature individuals who immediately counter "not if you do anal", I got news for you, ANY TIME semen is near the vaginal tract, it can potentially make its way to target, same reason pulling out doesn't work.)
