    Utah passes bill that makes it illegal for women to have abortionsandmiscarriages.
    It makes it illegal for a woman to attempt to intentionally induce a miscarriage outside of the purview of a medical professional.

    Yes, it's still bullshit, but it's not more bullshit than anti-abortion laws.

    EDIT: OK, it's a bit more bullshit than most anti-abortion laws.

    I disagree. That law grants a dangerous amount of room for someone other than the woman who miscarried to say whether or not the miscarriage was intentional.

    Right. The whole problem is the "reckless" behavior clause, which is extremely open to interpretation. Also, does this mean that every single time a woman has a miscarriage, that will automatically open up a case? If I'm to believe one sex expert (who I got this from), 1 in 4 pregnancies result in miscarriages. The sheer numbers are mind blowing.

    I dunno the figures, but I do know that your chances of miscarriage increase after one miscarriage.

    Is it really the case that having one miscarriage increases your chance of having more, or just that women who have one miscarriage were already predisposed to miscarriages, and so are likely to have more?

    Not to mention that a person who has a miscarriage has a much larger statistical pool. As in, they have to "try" more times than the person who has a successful pregnancy.

    You're likely correct; I just did a bit of Googling and it turns out I had some misinformation.

    Ha ha ha! I'm not sure if I should put this here or in the TotD thread. If I were this kid's lawyer, I'd be having a field day.
    -Spying on kid in his home
    -with no consent or even disclosure that this was possible
    -when they said that this would only be used in cases of theft (After the fact!)
    -accusing the kid of selling drugs
    -which were actually Mike & Ike's

    I believe every school board member who approved this program or knew about it and didn't try to stop it should be fired, sued, and shackled in front of the school for purposes of public ridicule.

    I agree. I heard on the news that his sister also states that she use to keep the netbook in the bathroom as a source of music while showering and is now living with extreme anxiety.

    I hope they crucify these bastards.

    People are getting depressed and suicidal becuase Pandora isn't real. When I came out of the movie, I was just depressed about how terrible it was and wanted my time and money back.

    Legislator: Disabled kids are God's punishment
    What is more, he made the comment when trying to claim that women that has abortions are more likely to have children with disabilities in their future pregnancies.

  • Legislator: Disabled kids are God's punishment
    What a dickface, maybe he can take a look at the issue of abortion from more than the Ideological viewpoint and take some practicality into the equation. I think that abortion should be a last resort, there are many better form of contraception, like condoms or after morning pill, but it should still be legal, as some people are going slip though the cracks.

    Wow, that idiot is just down the highway from me. AND HE'S GONNA RUN FOR US SENATE!!!

    EDIT: And he's anti-second amendment! As the Republican, he has absolutely no redeeming qualities to me. I must vote against this guy, HE MUST NOT REPRESENT ME IN THE SENATE!

  • "The major argument homosexuals have is that what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms is nobody's business, but do you know what they do in their bedrooms?" pastor Martin Ssempa asked the crowd.

    Pastor Ssempa then displayed a slide show of gay pornographic pictures.
    Facepalm for being a fucking idiot who disproves his own argument.

    From the article:
    The petition was signed by a number of prominent Christian leaders, including the Rev. Jonathan Falwell of Lynchburg and the Rev. Pat Robertson of Virginia Beach.
    Now, there's your problem.

  • Weird thing of the day: Sketchy looking guy wanders around the Zaiya Japanese cafe trying to give everyone Saudi Arabian Date cookies. (Mamoul?) If he is a friendly cookie merchant trying to foster good Saudi Arabian - New York relationships, he should revise his marketing strategy, because his Stranger-Candy vibe is off the charts. He is super insistent, so just in case he is well-intentioned, I take a cookie, but do not eat it. It stays on my tray and I look at the ingredients and stuff on the back. Random Guy-with-laptop next to me whispers "Nothing's ever free." Unfortunately, Cookie Stranger sits down next to me, and watching, urges me to eat the cookie. I try to give it back ("I'm full") but he is like "But it's very delicious!" I still do not eat it, and it stays on my tray until he finally leaves and I can deposit it in the trash. Soooo Awkward. Seriously, dude, if you are indeed a nice cookie man and not a drug-and-poison-candy stranger, learn the Rule of Elementary School Kids. On the other hand, I should not have accepted stranger candy either, even if I did not eat it. It was uncomfortable fail.

    On the other hand, in case there is a mass razor-blade in date cookie incident, Rym secretly took the guy's picture, so we will know who to blame.

    That is more than a tad scary. What was that guy thinking?

    Japan Will Ignore Ban on Bluefin Tuna, Says The Fish Isn't That Endangered

    No hate! (T_T)
    Granted, everytime I hear about governmental policies vis a vis ocean life, I become hella pissed off. Why u do dis, Japan? I know you like your sashimi, but if you keep this nonsense up, Bluefin Tuna will go away and you will never be able to eat it EVER AGAIN! If you really wanted tuna, you would be trying the hardest to protect their population, so they would grow in number and you could sustainably fish them again.
    FUCKA YOU BRUEFIN TUNA!!!!
    Relevant indeed. That made me laugh.

    And now they're normal, just like us.

    Every government makes terrible and fucked up decisions - some more than others. I do not think the Japanese government is anywhere near the worst.

    Something similar to this happened to me once at work, although not as sketchy sounding. We were all sitting in our cubicals doing our thing, and this young looking guy in a suit comes by and places a Hershey's bar (the normal sized one, not the mini ones) on everyone's desk. He didn't say a word, just kind of smiled at everyone. We all turned around and looked at each other and waited until he left our general area, then everyone got up at the same time and ran around asking people who he was. Meanwhile I was staring at the bar on my desk, wondering if it was poison or if I should nom it down. Eventually someone came around explaining that we recently got a new paper supplier or something, and they were just being nice and saying thanks for their business by giving us candy. I then was able to nom happily.

    FTFY.

    I know in your case it was probably just careless wording, but I think a lot of people really do judge a people by the actions of their government, and we Americans are not exactly in a position to throw stones there either.

    It would help to like, say something, or attach a note. It's weird how much some people just don't get it.

  • I don't actually have the lung capacity and breath control to recite a verse I wrote. I guess it's time to start doing some breathing exercises.
  • Flopped on my bed at 5, telling myself I need to study for physics. Opened eyes at 7:45.

    At least my first class is at 11; I can study late and not worry about anything else.
  • So, I return from a funeral for a member of my department who got a rare genetic form of cancer eight months ago. He was two years younger than me and his dad also works in the department. I get home and find a message on the answering machine. The father of a close friend of the wife and I died today so I'll be attending that funeral Saturday. Hopefully death will use some of his accrued vacation time.
