A DNA Technique Is Finding Women Who Left Their Babies for Dead

A DNA Technique Is Finding Women Who Left Their Babies for Dead www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u... It’s wrong to force women to stay pregnant, cut snap and Medicaid and then prosecute women whose sin is that they couldn’t see a way to be a mom . Let’s prevent, unwanted pregnancy to prevent the rest.

Us Americans were thrilled to hear your new PM tell him to bugger off when it comes to buying Canada. I about spit out my drink. He was brilliant.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

This mob boss shit just made me donate $ to Act Blue. I hope you will join me. It's enough with attempting to silence the Democratic party by shutting down the $$.

Of course he is after Comcast because they own MSNBC, and ignores the fascist ideology on F-O-X. Of course.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

SSRIs, mood stabilization and antipsychotic medication have made life possible outside locked padded cells for the last 40+ years. As an RN from 1982, I remember the Hell of locked units. RFK jr can go there if you ask me.

So, this makes sewing machine number 5 for me. Yes, they all work. Now I can Longarm quilt my own quilt tops into fancier blankets than I could before. It’s a huge step and I’ve still got technical issues + learning curve ahead. 🙀 I’m hoping to connect to other quilters here.

Exactly how stoned will he have to be to actually show up and perform? Also, I hope he takes anti-nausea medication too. It would make me puke.
