Welcome to Monday, June 27th, nations...
What do polls say about Americans' views on abortion policies? Here's a look...
Public opinion regarding abortion policies in the U.S. is deeply nuanced, although that reality is often obscured by partisan talking points and clickbait headlines from activists on either side of the debate.
Polls show a majority of Americans support legal access to abortion in the first trimesters while opposing abortions in the second and third trimesters.

Supreme Court Strikes Down New York Law Requiring Concealed Carry Applicants to Show ‘Special Need for Self-Protection’
The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a decision in a case known as New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen that struck down a New York state law requiring citizens seeking a concealed carry permit to demonstrate a special need for self-protection above that of the general public.
New York’s law required that a person applying for an unrestricted permit to carry a concealed firearm in public to demonstrate that “proper cause” existed for the issuance of a license, including for target shooting, hunting, or self-defense.

Women in states that ban abortion will still be able to get abortion pills online from overseas

Aid Access is an international telemedicine abortion provider founded by Dutch physician Dr. Rebecca Gomperts. Its European doctors provide online consultations and write prescriptions for abortion pills, which are then filled and mailed by a pharmacy in India.
Aid Access told CNBC it will continue mailing pills to women in all U.S. states, including those that banned the procedure. U.S. telehealth providers will be banned from prescribing and sending abortion pills to women in states that outlaw the procedure.

Recent Supreme Court decisions show the hypocrisy of the Supreme Court in deciding if what's a state right and what is not. With a 6-3 majority of life time appointments the constitution & states rights are what the Supreme Court majority says they are or aren't.
“The conservative [Supreme Court’s] majority’s main vehicle for this imposition is a presentist historical analysis that takes whatever stances define right-wing cultural and political identity at a given moment and asserts them as essential aspects of American law since the founding, and therefore obligatory.”
“the current majority’s approach is itself a kind of undead constitutionalism—one in which the dictates of the Constitution retrospectively shift with whatever Fox News happens to be furious about. Legal outcomes preferred by today’s American right conveniently turn out to be what the Founding Fathers wanted all along.”
“As the three Democratic-appointed justices note in their Dobbs dissent, more constitutional rights now are on the chopping block. “Either the majority does not really believe in its own reasoning. Or if it does, all rights that have no history stretching back to the mid-19th century are insecure,” the dissenters wrote. “Either the mass of the majority’s opinion is hypocrisy, or additional constitutional rights are under threat. It is one or the other.” It seems to be the latter: In his concurrence, Justice Clarence Thomas writes that precedents establishing access to contraception, legalizing same-sex marriage, and striking down anti-sodomy laws should be “reconsidered.”

It is only with the advent of technology we are able to do and see things plus do call Horic action. Women had a 50 - 50 chance.
Benjamin Franklin gave instructions on at-home abortions in a book in the 1700s.
It included references from medical text from London and the Virginia medical handbook. "Every Man His Own Doctor"
In it was the best know herbals for abortifacients and Contraceptives. It was a big hit in the 18th century.
He play an influential role in the revolutionary war era and the fight for American independence, but also help shape the the U.S. constitution and the vision for the new nation. He was a life time champion of freedom and the first amendment.
Abortion is rooted in this country history and the world, will continue whether state or federal government and religion ties to interfere.
It's a women's body and what happens should be between her and her doctor!
Bionic Robo-Fish to remove microplastics from seas: Now this is an effective solution to a problem (assuming that it works). Would eventually like to see some measurable results.
As I have said often: It's only a matter of time for the comeback of back alley abortions.
Those of means will travel where it's available, another state or country.
‼️The IS a matter between a woman and her physician-no one else.‼️
It's greatest impact will be on the poorest among us. Where's the care for mother and child once it's born? Medical? Sustenance? Educational? Baby daddy responsibilities. Why wasn't all this in place prior if there is true care for the born and not only in utero.
Easy to say carry to term and give the child up for adoption. How's the foster care system doing? Really, have you checked it out?
If we truly treasure children, why is it "You're on your own once you are born?" Sandyhook, Columbine now Uvlade, not enough slaughtered to change rules re weapons of mass destruction? Guns over people.
What happened to "My body, my choice?" Applied to vaccines. Not here?
