New Your mayor Adams is desperate to get workers back into the many over priced office buildings the city has, as are a lot of cities. Companies are realizing if their employees can do everything from home why have big offices and and rent a lot of space to use. From every economic measure working from home whenever possible makes the most sense for the world, for the workers, and for the companies. But conservatives are torn. They hate that it lowers workers costs and gives them more time off because they don’t have travel and other costs, but it also means that businesses save money so that is more profit, but against that is some companies that rent out building space are losing money … oh a dilemma. The fact that all that traffic taken off the roads is great for the planet is something they don’t even think of. Hugs
No one has the idea of doing the job you are hired to do, and if you don’t want to do it then don’t take the job. Taking the job and then saying I wont do this or I don’t do that is stupid to me. Plus none of these people understand professional standards or requirements it seems. They all seem to just want the right to force their will on others and get paid for it. I don’t like spinach but I don’t insist the grocery store stop selling it. Hugs
“Some of these medications are used for legitimate reasons, there’s no question of about that. People are still going to be able to get those medications.
“They’re still going to be able to get their arthritis medication if it’s being used for arthritis. They are still going to be able to get the medications that are written and prescribed for them if it’s to be used for that purpose.
“A pharmacist should have the right to deny filling a prescription if they know it’s going to be used for an abortion and if they morally object to that.” – GOP Rep. Buddy Carter, speaking to hate group leader Tony Perkins.
Carter last appeared on JMG in 2017 when he raged about the Senate blocking a move to repeal Obamacare, saying, “Somebody needs to go over there into that Senate and snatch a knot in their ass.” To which everyone else said, “What does that even mean?”
“A pharmacist should have the right to deny filling a prescription if they know it’s going to be used for an abortion and if they morally object to that.” @RepBuddyCarter on protecting pro-life pharmacists w/ @tperkins.
The person who knows the purpose of the medication is the one writing the prescription, not the one filling it. He’s lying about what the pharmacist “knows” and is empowering their prejudices and suspicions.
Reminder to evangelicals:
The best way to have fewer abortions is to have more gay sex.
They’re coming for the straights now and all hell will (finally) break loose. And just wait until they ban condoms and birth control pills. That’s when the shit really hits the fan.
People will still be able to get arthritis medication? OMG, that’s outrageous. Obviously if god gave someone arthritis, it is his will, just like a raped 10 year old. I’m sure any decent god-fearing Christian pharmacist will refuse to dispense arthritis (or ANY medication) based on sincerely held religious principals.
They can just stand behind the pharmacy counter at CVS reading their bible and refusing to wait on 100% of customer.
Once again, someone’s perverted version of “religious beliefs’ Is permitted to control your life. The result is my religious beliefs and/or yours and or those who do not believe, do not matter. That’s not called “religious freedom,” it’s called religious bigorty.
This is the point. This is why the AG in Idaho Indiana where that 10 year old child fled to get her needed abortion care is attacking the doctor who treated her. Make every doctor too scared of losing everything to help a dying woman. How is this fucken pro-life? Can we admit now it is all about controlling the pregnant person! This is about denying equality and body autonomy to a class of people that the males think they should have control over. I am sick of the contradictions in laws and their statement of being “pro-life” while actively undermining that life. Time to call things what they are. Time to strip the veneer off what these people really want, complete control over people with a uterus. It is about a dual system of who can have sex and enjoy sexual pleasure. it is totally about making women a incubator for a man’s issue / future offspring. Prove me wrong if you can! Hugs
Doctors are being prohibited from treating patients with complications, the Texas Medical Association alleges.

AUSTIN — The Texas Medical Association wants regulators to step in after hospitals reportedly refused to treat patients with serious pregnancy complications for fear of violating the state’s abortion ban.
In a letter sent Wednesday to the Texas Medical Board, the association said it received complaints that hospitals, their administrators and their lawyers may be prohibiting physicians from providing medically appropriate care to women with ectopic pregnancies and other complications.
It asks the board to “swiftly act to prevent any wrongful intrusion into the practice of medicine.”
The letter from the state’s most prominent physicians group offers an early sign of how restrictive abortion laws have hindered medical care for pregnant Texans.
Since last September, Texas physicians have already had to contend with a law known as Senate Bill 8 that empowers citizens to sue anyone who “aids or abets” in an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
While there’s a narrow exception in both laws to save the life of a pregnant patient, there’s been confusion about who qualifies.
The association, which declined to comment, does not identify any hospital by name in the letter, but it cites several examples.
One in Central Texas allegedly told a physician not to treat an ectopic pregnancy until it ruptured, which puts patient health at serious risk, according to the letter. An ectopic pregnancy, when a fertilized egg attaches outside of the uterus, is not viable.
“Delayed or prevented care in this scenario creates a substantial risk for the patient’s future reproductive ability and poses serious risk to the patient’s immediate physical wellbeing,” the letter said.
Two other hospitals may be directing doctors to send pregnant patients home to “expel the fetus” when their water breaks too early, instead of treating them at the hospital, the letter said.
In those situations, physicians have said that patients are at risk of infection.
The alleged interference not only puts patients at risk of serious injury, the letter said, but also could expose doctors to lawsuits or threaten their medical licenses. It may violate Texas’ prohibition on the corporate practice of medicine, which the board has the power to enforce, the letter said.
The Texas Medical Board confirmed it received the association’s letter, but a spokesperson said the board “cannot confirm or deny any specific complaint as they are considered confidential under statute.”
Republicans have been saying this wouldn’t happen. But it is happening.

Yep. It ends up a choice for the doctor to save a patient, lose their license, get charged with murder, and get sued into the poor house. Or let woman die. The rethuglicunts will have to look over their shoulders when one of these guys wives dies.
Not basically. Exactly. That’s exactly what’s happening. Death must be imminent not something a few weeks away but unavoidable without intervention. And even those stories down here are being downplayed so they still think of it as liberal propaganda.
Texas Gov Abbott killed hundred through incompetence, death by freezing when his lack of leadership, his lack of planning, his inaction, made public power fail in the winter. Now, he wants to continue his aim to kill more people in Texas. Make it difficult to treat women. Kill women through ignorance, greed, bigotry. More dying this summer from continued lack of fixing the broken Texas public power grid – Abbott has done nothing for that. Nothing. Let the people die.
I’m thinking that they’re heading into cult territory. Shared suffering brings people close and since they already think their problems are caused by everyone but their dear leaders this may be what the GOP in Texas really wants.
I wonder how many MAGA women with non-viable conditions like ectopic pregnancy or hydatidiform pregnancy are willing to die for this law? They think that the only effect will be on slutty liberal women who are too poor or isolated to cross a state border.
They will think of themselves as the exception and continue to be “pro-life.” I know too many o them. When they see the story of the 10 year old rape victim they see that she should be able to get an abortion but that doesn’t lead them to think that the entire law is wrong. They are too brainwashed to make such logical connections.
back in 2007 the Atlantic ran an article called ‘The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion’. It covered the fact that many women against abortion do have abortions and are able to fritter away the moral hypocrisy as they see it as a moral choice for themselves.
White supremacists, who are numerous in Texas, should worry that more and more non-white babies are born due to Republican efforts. Whites are a shrinking minority now. Many factors contribute. Pollution from fracking chemicals is causing infertility in men who are constantly exposed to pollution, and white men are exposed more since they are in the fracking business, so white replacement is happening, faster and faster due to Republicans.
White supremacists seem to always be the shining examples of white stupidity. Their grasp of basic logic is famously weak. none of these idiotic laws will change the genetic composition of the human race in this country or anywhere else.
Taking an example from dog breeding in particular, veterinary studies have concluded that purebreds may have [not necessarily always have] more issues due to having had some traits reinforced by breeding. If that is true, then mongrelization of the population should improve the species simply by diluting bad genes [bad genes, being recessive, naturally reduce viability over time, hopefully before propagation]. Thus white supremacists may be a dying breed or subset, especially since intermarriage with non-whites is increasing and may be improving the population by admixture of new genes.
Three important bills passed the House of Representatives this week without the help of Republicans. By and large, Republicans votes against a bill to provide access to healthcare through the VA system for troops exposed to toxins, a bill to report problems with neo-Nazis in the military, and a bill to create an amber alert system for law enforcement to notify communities of a mass shooting.
Great video that points out all the bills that would help people that the republicans are obstructing just to obstruct, just to be anti-anything to help the country. All hoping it will hurt Biden enough that people will vote for them. The republicans don’t govern, they break government and then cry about it not working. Hugs
California Governor Gavin Newsom sat down with Fox LA’s Elex Michaelson and called out Republican governors including Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott and others for their despicable actions taking away the rights of Americans. Harry Sisson presents.
At the end of the first part of the post I will post more information from the linked article about how dangerous and insitduos this type of legislation is. But I see this as one state telling other states what they can or can not do. Hugs
The National Right to Life Committee is lobbying states to enact legislation it’s drafted that would make it a crime to advertise information about abortion pills or other methods of ending a pregnancy. The model bill treats abortion like organized crime, by using a combination of civil and criminal penalties in the same way that the 1970 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act does.
The scope is broad and suggests penalizing anyone who even conveys information about the procedure. State lawmakers in Indiana and South Carolina have already shown interest. Proponents of abortion rights said the First Amendment and a Supreme Court precedent should protect advertisers, but the court’s adherence to precedent is in flux. The lack of clarity could weigh on risk-averse online advertising platforms.
The group is represented by attorney James Bopp, who last year filed multiple failed lawsuits seeking to overturn the result of the 2020 election and to block vaccine mandates at universities.
Bopp, who was the lead attorney in Citizens United, made many appearances on JMG a decade ago starting with his representation of the groups, including NOM, who were seeking to overturn same-sex marriage in California.
Bopp also represented the haters in Washington state’s anti-gay Referendum 71 campaign, during which he laughably claimed that “literally hundreds of people were subject to death threats, destruction of their property, theft, threat to their families or even fired from their jobs” for having signed the referendum’s petition.
He also represented Focus On The Family in their ultimately successful bid to remake Iowa’s state supreme court following its approval of same-sex marriage.
Most recently, Bopp represented Marjorie Taylor Greene and Madison Cawthorn in challenges to remove them from the ballot.
Under the National Right to Life Committee’s proposed legislation, Google’s web-hosting service could be in trouble, said Florida State University law professor Mary Ziegler. Likewise, Facebook could potentially be liable for any user-generated content promoting abortion that’s aimed at people in states where those services are illegal.
While these platforms continue to host abortion-related advertising, the abortion-rights advocacy group Plan C said that getting ads promoting abortion services approved on them is arduous and getting more so.
The biggest concern for digital advertising platforms in the short term are laws, similar to those in the National Right to Life Committee’s proposal, in Oklahoma and Texas that permit civil suits against anyone who helps someone else get an abortion.
Both states allow residents to sue parties that aid or abet an abortion with damages set at a minimum of $10,000. While the laws specify that paying for an abortion qualifies as aiding and abetting, legal experts say the laws could extend to advertising.
Ziegler predicts laws that penalize sharing information on abortion will have a chilling effect on the digital ad industry, possibly causing platforms to suppress abortion advertising and abortion content voluntarily in states where it’s not legal. It may already be happening. Last month, Vice reported that Instagram and Facebook removed posts from users offering to share abortion pills. Meta, their corporate parent, said the posts violated its policies on regulated goods.
Dimitratou said Facebook often rejects Plan C’s ads for “promoting the sale of unsafe substances,” the determination of which is under corporate parent Meta’s discretion. Like Google, Meta has special approval processes for running ads about abortion as well as medications. However, only online pharmacies, telehealth providers, and pharmaceutical manufacturers can apply.
Google acknowledges that its advertising policies could change. It does bar abortion-related ads in 72 countries where it’s illegal.
Within some period of time ….oh, let’s say about nine months… the results of this whole social experiment should be coming to light. I wonder how many women will die in that time period. And reluctant as I am to make victims into a talking point, we’ve got to do it before the general election.
They just had “Militia” in Peru torturing women for “witchcraft”. I kid you not, in 2022. The US “Christians” better hurry or they will not be the most religiously woke and regressive in the world. “Bring back Salem”
Vinnytsia, a central Ukrainian town far from the front lines, was struck by three Russian missiles. The attack left over 20 civilians dead, including three children
The video CC is shitty. But the Russians are using gang rapes of women, children, and not said here but I read a verfied report of two twin 10 year old boys. Russians have set up torturre chambers and are using Ukrainian civilians as sheilds. They are targeting civilians in a war of terror as they have done in other places to break the will of the Ukrainians to resist them. I don’t think it will work. Hugs
