Wow, what a victory. This was definitely a much better outcome than trying to create bipartisan border legislation. Or, like, I don’t know, a budget?

Louder for those in the back.

What, you’d take a personal check from that guy?

I know it’s the epitome of privledge to say this and I know it can be impossible for a lot of people for any number of reasons…

If you are a woman of childbearing age and are, or even plan to be pregnant, run as fast as you can away from these states.

There was a time, not long ago, when birthing children was potentially dangerous or even fatal without modern medical care. By outlawing that care, you’re taking a hard dive right back into those medieval conditions. Woman can, will, and are dying because of these laws. It’s horribly, horribly, horribly wrong, and I hope it gets reversed soon.

But until then? Run.

My wife is a surgeon… Or as she puts it, “Standing in the way of God since 2005”.
