dancin’ around like a little guy

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.

Pregnant people do not have warning lights on their foreheads. All pregnancies present some degree of danger, some present more danger, but by the time it becomes clear that the patient will die without intervention, it's often too late.

If someone is having a miscarriage that isn't complete yet, the time to administer misoprostol/mifepristone or perform a D&C is as soon as it becomes clear that the pregnancy isn't viable. If a doctor has to wait until an infection gets started because they're afraid of vindictive district attorneys deciding the threat to the mother's life wasn't serious enough, that's fucking stupid, and it will cause unnecessary pain and harm to tons of patients and kill some of them.

Anti-abortion lawmakers, when presented with such cases, blamed the doctors for taking them too literally in order to make the law look bad, then declined to provide any regulatory guidance to clarify when the medical exceptions can be used.

This is a stressful job. Good thing Robert found some new stress relief methods. Like stress toys! (Or biceps.)

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.
