I dont think they'll outright ban abortion, but they'll make legal some super restrictions.

Pass laws that make libs leave the state while force breeding more repubs. Just as planned.

Not exactly.they passed this law specifically to have it challenged in court so that it goes before th Supreme Court.

[Lokus]

Yea, I know why they passed it. In the meanwhile, it'll affect people of those states until the Supreme Court rules for or against it. Assuming the SC lets it slide, it does have a chance of changing the demographics ever so slightly which will make the state lean more conservative.

Wasn’t sure where to put this

Google will now require abortion advertisers to state whether or not they provide abortions after its discovered that an anti-abortions group was advertising that they provide the service at their clinics.

[Athas]

Now if only the government could have some sort of regulation for deceitful advertising. Or medical requirements for operating an ultrasound.

Netflix, Disney, and others threaten to end all production in the state of Georgia if their new abortion law goes into effect.

The number of reported measles cases has hit 971. This is the highest since 1994 when there was 963, but it has to surpass 2.2K to break the 1992 record.

Because epidurals.

Add Louisiana to the abortion ban. The Dem governor said he was going to sign the bill

[Mrbeansman]

Seriously if you dont vaccinate social services should take your kids because you are not fit to be a parent.

it's not only the American system but also the American patients

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine...ending/590623/

In short, we're less healthy (compared to other high-income nations) more from what patients do than what providers do. Also, malpractice concern is largely an American trait.

It's an easy and quick read, so I don't really think I should pull quote but I'll do one anyway.

American patients similarly don’t like to be told that unexplained symptoms aren’t ominous enough to merit tests. Robert Joseph, a longtime ob‑gyn at three Boston-area hospital systems who last year became a medical director at a firm that runs clinical trials, says some of his patients used to come in demanding laparoscopic surgery to investigate abdominal pain that would almost certainly have gone away on its own. “I told them about the risks of the surgery, but I couldn’t talk them out of it, and if I refused, my liability was huge,” he says. Hospitals might question non-indicated and expensive surgeries, he adds, but saying the patient insisted is sometimes enough to close the case. Joseph, like many American doctors, also worried about getting a bad review from a patient who didn’t want to hear “no.” Such frustrations were a big reason he stopped practicing, he says.

Teen pregnancy was down in MN in 2018, but STI/D's are up. Teenagers made up 25% of all reported chlamydia cases and 15~% of all gonorrhea infections.

Yet another example of a simple treatment (like removing lead from gas or the clean air act writ large) that had a much larger public health impact than expected.

[kuronosan]

Yip. Haven't had any parents object when I explain it.
