March of Dimes states that 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriages, medically called a spontaneous abortion, before a woman has her next period. IOW if a woman is a late for her period and it is heavier than usual, she is most likely having a miscarriage. Most of them do not know they are pregnant. About 15-20% of known pregnancies are miscarriages. This does not include the 22% of fertilized eggs that fail to implant.

What confuses me is that their God is against abortion yet is responsible for the most abortions on Earth. being pregnant is a gift from God, the largest abortion provider there is.

The way republicans will write their anti-choice laws will leave it open to investigate and prosecute women having miscarriages. Hell, they already are.

https://www.alternet.org/2014/11/arrested-having-miscarriage-7-appalling-instances-where-pregnant-women-were/
In a recent op-ed for the New York Times, Lynn M. Paltrow and Jeanne Flavin of the National Advocates for Pregnant Women offer up some of the most egregious cases of the criminalization of pregnant women. "Since 2005, we have identified an additional 380 cases, with more arrests occurring every week,” they write. “This significant increase coincides with what the Guttmacher Institute describes as a 'seismic shift' in the number of states with laws hostile to abortion rights.”

Permanent, total ban on birth control.

I doubt they will do too much in terms of sperm. Men's reproductive systems are totally off limits.

No one's ever safe, except for those who can afford guards or bodyguards. It's how the oligarchs want it to be. Kind of like when Kings and Lords travelled with their royal guards. No one is safe except the Lord's and Kings or the filthy rich.

Man was involved in "domestic dispute."

This morning:

A Douglas County high school is on hard lockdown after an incident this morning.

Police are at Alexander High School “to maintain the safety and the security of the building.”

School officials said that all students and staff members are safe. It’s unclear what sort of incident unfolded or if anyone was injured.

Students are currently not allowed to check in or out. School officials are providing updates to parents every 15 minutes through the school messaging system.

Being shot at is just part of education in Georgia, it seems this week.

two shooters by returning fire.


Put the NRA out of business. The A2 should not provide cover for people who would kill with guns.
