No OB-GYNs left in town: what came after Idaho's assault on abortion

the hospital shut its OB-GYN department because it couldnt find doctors to work there. in their words. Highly respected, talented physicians are leaving. Recruiting replacements will be extraordinarily difficult,” the hospital noted. “In addition, the Idaho legislature continues to introduce and pass bills that criminalize physicians for medical care nationally recognized as standard of care.”


any private ob-gyns have also left the area

i wouldnt blame every OB-GYN in red states if they packed up and left town. let the stat elegistlators start providing the care since they seem to be medical experts....

As the death toll in stifling Texas prisons climbs, congressional Democrats ask for investigation

a lot of texas prisons dont have air conditioning.
in austin its been over 100 degrees ofr 45 straight days,breaking the old record os 27 straight

i think a judge should start jailing texas prison officials in those overheated prisons until they get AC. or start ordering prisoners (especially all non violent ones) released immediately so the remaining ones can be moved to prisons with AC

why does one person get to cripple the military?

its time for the democrats to take extreme action in the senate against tubberville and his military holds.
schumer needs to pass a bill that ends the one person hold system. one senator should not be able to gum everything up for ANY reason.
