‘This is all about controlling women’: Greg Abbott slammed over tweet promoting new near-total abortion ban
‘This is all about controlling women’: Greg Abbott slammed over tweet promoting new near-total abortion ban
If covid spread from wild animals to people, like SARS, MERS and every other new human virus you care to name, the IC would have little to add to the discussion. They can’t prove a negative. What evidence could prove that Covid didn’t leak from a lab? Even finding covid in the wild and describing a plausible path of transmission to from the wilderness to Wuhan wouldn’t definitively rule out the…

‘NYC subway has fallen’: ‘Wild scenes’ captured as Hurricane Ida dumps record rain
It’s also a sign that the Republican-appointed justices, who now hold six of nine seats on the Court, are ready to overturn the Court’s 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, striking down anti-abortion laws across the nation as violating a woman’s right to privacy under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution.

Texas’s anti-abortion snitch hotline is already being shut down by ‘Shrek’ memes
The anti-abortion movement’s routine barrages of nightmarish state-level abortion bills have rangee from sneaky, devil’s-in-the-details regulations to shut down clinics, to attempts to sentence abortion providers to the death penalty.
