Took a while to find the actual law that NY just passed regarding abortion. Here it is: https://www.news10.com/news/local-news/full-text-read-the-full-text-of-the-reproductive-heath-act/1718439748

The heart of the law:

"A HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONER LICENSED, CERTIFIED, OR AUTHORIZED UNDER TITLE EIGHT OF THE EDUCATION LAW, ACTING WITHIN HIS OR HER LAWFUL SCOPE OF PRACTICE, MAY PERFORM AN ABORTION WHEN, ACCORDING TO THE PRACTITIONER'S REASONABLE AND GOOD FAITH PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT BASED ON THE FACTS OF THE PATIENT'S CASE: THE PATIENT IS WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR WEEKS FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF PREGNANCY, OR THERE IS AN ABSENCE OF FETAL VIABILITY, OR THE ABORTION IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PATIENT'S LIFE OR HEALTH."

I've been pondering it a lot.

what's there to ponder?

I am wondering what the standard is for "protecting health". Technically, every birth affects the health of the mother, physically and psychologically. Most mothers would agree that giving birth is the most excruciating pain you could experience, so pretty much any abortion at any time seems like it could meet the standard of a health risk.

Just curious about where they draw the line, because if you leave the interpretation up to private medical professionals, it's no holds barred, like a medical marijuana card or pain killers.

Honestly just curious. I like to read legislation rather than having it interpreted to me, but I'm not clear on this one.

I know, we wouldn't want to have abortions freely available, now would we

It depends, and I'm really just wondering where this law delineates the acceptable circumstances. I'm not trying to make a political statement.

Saw my teenage coworkers set up and it has some grizzly graphic grip tape. Is there a nice way to tell him it’s dumb as fuck.

gotcha. not an attack, just a statement but clearly you havent had an abortion before.

My mother had a late term abortion to my would-be brother. It was due to health risks. I've talked to her a lot about it. I totally understand the circumstances that led to that decision and the need to have the option available.

Fuck all you for getting on my case about this. I'm just wondering what the law means.

why politically incorrect people rarely say offensive things about military veterans, the recently bereaved, religious people, children, politicians they support, etc. they’re fixated on offending women, people of color, gays and other nonmainstream groups. could it be because their main concern is not free speech but putting people in their place? I think so.

  I thought of this today in terms of the base trump drummed up.
  I was thinkimg about the surf grom thing and those guys are always gonna be 3 or 4 years away from outpaddling your ass if your on the old side.  Not fun. I certainly wouldnt stop them from smoking cigarettes. Put it that way.

it's impossible to make any logical sense of total stupidity. i wouldnt think too much into it.

Wondering if I should pay for a sports streaming service AND get up at 2:30 AM on Sunday just to watch the Australian Open final between Nadal and Djokovic.

Im constantly baffled that my disabled partner has so many trump people in the family and how when we explain to them how when he mocks the disabled their life is made harder but it doesn’t make a difference.

My friends and I were pretty stoned last night and talking about this clip



Is homer laughing and saying yes because he’s thinking of a memory of a guy saying goodbye to a shoe or is it because he just saw a guy say goodbye to a shoe?

It is my belief that it's the former

[behavioralguide]

if he would be asked again, years later,
and he would react with the same chuckle,
would he think about that 1st time he saw someone say goodbye to his shoe,
or the second time where he was asked that same question

is the chuckle bound the the 1st time or does it move up one memory everytime he is asked?

I had to learn to be sober all the time when i moved out of the city- didnt realise how much i drank till i had to drive everywhere..
once you get used to ordering soft drinks at social events life is pretty much exactly the same except without hangovers.. but id reccomend finding a hobby - i got into woodturning, i suck at it but its a fun way to kill a couple hours

[Bagelskate]

Anyone ever make a coat rack out of old truck hangers cut in half?

Not into Fugazi, but I'll give the nipple clamps a go.
Thanks for the tips guys.

If someone is a really great criminal, but doesn’t want to ride a motorcycle, what percentage of outlaw biker gangs would let him in anyway?  Or is it a total deal breaker?

And what’s up with them being the most conspicuous criminals ever?  They ride around in big packs on loud -ass motorcycles, and they have patches all on their jackets clearly advertising that the are in a gang.

Do they want to get caught?  Get your fucking shit together, motorcycle gangs.

  The only one i know is the H.A and they have rules.  But they break them.  Spouse to be only white but my buddy goes to their club houses and hes native.  He can do 5 oh to fakie vert drop ins too.  Renisance bro.  I doubt you gotta bike tho.  They got lawyers and doctors and everything in that organization.  I used to buy weed from the H.A.

Day one of me trying to stop smoking pot:

I used to smoke pot everyday but haven’t in years.  It just stopped being enjoyable. One unexpected benefit is that my Oreo expenditures plummeted immediately.

Most gangs, across the criminal spectrum,  are conspicuous, think about it. Plus most clubs sell merch as a way to claim being legitimate businesses, along with security service. Outward facing regalia is like advertisement.

Today I wondered, while waging the ever war on rust being a coastal occupier, why POR-15 paint costs $150 a gallon... Mother fucker pronounces “poor” when I say it. I end up poor when I buy it.

has an open grave ever been gapped? saw a clip of a pall bearer jumping into one while the coffin was being lowered and one thought led to another

  Just bomb thru with a bmx when you see a bunch of people dressed up down at the grave yard.

To me Dlxsf is like on par with Nike Sb in the sense that everyone rides their stuff and they are just so insanely popular.
I would like people thinking more outside the box or try to do something different.
Dlx makes great product but I’m just super over almost  all their brands pretty much.

No offense if anyone reading this likes deluxe, I understand why one would.
