A lot of countries do have relatively uncontroversial time limits in place. Unless I am mistaken most of the blue states did have one of the most permissive rules for elective abortions in the world.
It seems to be another thing that was amplified to a ridiculous degree by the American polarization, most countries without strong religious groups to demand the “absolute” right to life still recognize some degree of control over the pregnancies as broadly desirable. While it is a fringe position, “elective abortion a week before the due date” does seems to be much less fringe in USA than everywhere else - while there are also powerful groups advocating “no abortions, ever”.

Ah, that explains why Musk has been copeposting in regards to Ukraine (then doubling and tripling down after [Everyone Hated That]): he is going through with the Twitter buyout.
He got BTFO in court and and if I understand correctly has to buy Twitter at much higher than it’s current stock value. So he’s doing what he always does and trying to distract from his horrendous business decisions.

Because nothing screams “brilliance” than trying to hide your mistakes with siding with the offender in a war.

In their defense, I did a shit job making it clear it was meant to be a joke.

Female high school athletes in Florida are apparently being asked to confirm their last periods before being allowed to play, in order to verify their gender.
The party of small government wants to know intimate details about the menstrual histories of underaged women.

IDK about politicians, but at least some people might be genuinely concerned about the fairness of trans women competing with cis women in sports. So was I, at first. But then someone explained to me that the only thing that can be considered an advandage over cis women is when someone has high testosterone levels. Most trans women suppress testosterone though, so its resulting levels are only marginally higher than in cis women. Thus, it’s not an issue.

There are some obvious residual differences from years of high(er) testosterone that remain even when testosterone is suppressed. Most obvious differences are not for teenagers but for established adult athletes - no cis woman would be able to inject testosterone for years, maintain high level of training and appear and events and then allowed to set records once her testosterone level goes down. Yet it is what trans female athletes hormonal history looks like.

I don’t think current doping regulations really address such a situation. A cis woman could inject testosterone for years, keep up a training regimen under those conditions, and then compete once her hormones drop back to baseline. The only difference is that she wouldn’t be able to compete while taking the testosterone. That competition experience would be the trans athlete’s one possible advantage over your hypothetical (assuming they do compete, presumably as a “man”, prior to their transition).
@Meanlucario
It doesn’t sound like they’re doing it to be charitable. They’re looking for work, and there’s work to be done in Florida.
And I’m not saying that to judge. That’s the reason most people move from one part of the country to another. It’s why a lot of people move from one country to another.

As BGH said, the reasons those same migrants cite is because of the very lucrative job offers being made to laborers to rebuild. More lucrative than some local jobs around here no less.
But that said, yeah. Statistics show that immigrants commit less crime and work harder per capita than native born citizens. Shoot, because of weird laws around citizenship they also put more wealth into our national coffers since they still have to pay taxes than they take out through welfare (should they even qualify to begin with since only citizens and special cases qualify). “Nation of immigrants” is not just a feel good moniker referencing the good ‘ol days, America’s backbone is our immigrant populous.
Also this story might be why Virgin DeSantis has been seen meekly meeting with Chad Dark Brandon over the last few days: DeSantis already spent all of Florida’s money so he needs daddy to give him more allowance to deport more Venezuelans to Martha’s Vineyard.

Other photos of evidence from the same torture chamber show a dildo, so likely there’s rape on top of that.

People do horrible things in war. That is not justifiable, however. People know that torture doesn’t work, so they are just doing that for sick kicks and greed.
