Sen. Josh Hawley asked the simplest question imaginable:
๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐?
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
And the ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ witness basically tried to filibusterโฆ biology.

No.
A yes-or-no question like that is not a โpolitical tool.โ
Itโs a ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ธ.
This went on for minutes and she would not acknowledge the biological difference between men and women in the ability to get pregnant. Outrageous.
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
Because once a โdoctorโ canโt answer basic biology in a hearing about womenโs healthโฆ youโve officially entered the part of the movie where the scientists start lying to the public โfor the greater good.โ
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
And Hawleyโs point was brutal and simple:
You donโt get to hide behind โcomplexityโ when the entire debate is built on pretending words can override reality.
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
He kept dragging it back to the same place:
Science.
Evidence.
Basic truth.
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
And she kept trying to reframe it as โpolarization.โ
Because thatโs the trick.
If you canโt win the argument, you accuse the question itself of being immoral.
โฃโฃโฃโ โฃโฃโฃ
And for the record โ yes, it matters.
Because law, medicine, and womenโs protections all collapse when you canโt even define what a woman is without a PR consultant in the room.

@kalezelden Hmm... Each and every instance of religious leaders taking advantage of those they are leading was because they have hijacked he calls "the God function."
It's unscrupulous man taking on the role of enforcer and judge, or even rulemaker, breaking the "God rules" in the process.
2020:
"I've saved all my money. [My daughter] doesn't have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?"
Warren: "Of course not."
"So you're going to pay for people who didn't save any money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed."
When we're suffering, BAD theological explanations don't help. (i.e. God won't give you more than you can handle) but GOOD theological foundations can be a great comfort! (i.e. do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you 1 Peter 4:12) Harder to make that a meme!
Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. Itโs either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics.
There is a world of difference between sin described honestly on a page, never with the intent to stimulate or amuse, and sin depicted on the screen with multi-million dollar budgets, real nudity, and realistic gore. https://t.co/vJCsrtEhCC
