@MattCover Without context, this is meaningless.
We've all seen some of the absolutely nonsensical "scientific" research programs the Fed has funded over the years. We've also seen what passes for PhDs and the "robust" system for publication.
@InezFeltscher Let's all raise a glass to the departed John McCain who was so butthurt by Trump that his final act was to screw the entire American public by voting to keep Obamacare.
@Strangeland_Elf My son's pediatrician told me that children are naturally night owls. He said it's even cross cultural. There are exceptions but most kids have a natural rhythm to stay up late and wake up late.
@pricedliberty @igarglewithfire@NickJFuentes It's also disturbing to watch how many people latch on to Fuentes strawman as well. 47 years of Iranian hostility, many Americans dead, active belligerence during negotiations, but the US is "going to war for Israel".
For the love of God, people, get your news from sane people.
@Pro__Trading @MattWalshBlog "What war?"
The War Iran has been waging against the US for 50 years. Apparently it takes Congressional agreement to admit this.
As to that, when you have a huge chunk of elected officials rooting for the enemy time and time again, how do you functionally get Congress on board?
@DataRepublican@mattvanswol They have a god, their god is The State. Not necessarily any existing State, but the one they desire to implement that will force everyone to bow down to them.
@Prolife_Sam It always comes down to the fact these people just absolutely hate how human reproductive biology actually works.
It doesn't matter if no analogy ever actually works, it's just about justifying their hatred of the reality of the process.
This actually reveals a much darker and more disturbing issue.
When working on legislation that would provide clear options for parents on how to manage miscarriage, we are met with opposition by the abortion industry because they don't want our offspring that are miscarried to be referred to as humans, babies, or infants.
Miscarriage is a difficult and heartbreaking experience for many women. After providing reproductive mental healthcare for over 10 years, it is clear to me women (prolife or prochoice) in this situation don't want political nonsense about abortion. They are not experiencing an abortion. What they want is support and clarity.
The reality is that a billion dollar industry that makes a profit from killing and removing offspring from women rely on dehumanization, disassociation, and disenfranchisement to continue their business.
That is how we end up with babies in dumpsters or thrown over embankments.
Clear options for how to handle human remains after pregnancy loss would greatly assist those experiencing it. Those options should include:
1) private burial/services in line with the faith tradition of the parents and in legal parameters of where humans can be buried. (This option should be free and there are often non-profit organizations that assist with costs.)
2) Taking the baby to the local hospital for testing and/or proper management of disposal. Depending on the age of the baby, the hospital will cremate or bury the remains in a group. Parents should have the opportunity to state which option they prefer and they should know where those remains are located. (This option is free in most places. If hospitals are billing for this, we need a discussion on the cost of death.)
3) Calling a funeral home for assistance with proper management of disposal. (This option is often free as funeral homes usually wave any fees in this case. If not, there are usually nonprofits who will cover the costs.)
During my miscarriage, I took my little girl en caul to the hospital for testing. The lab tech was extremely rude and disrespectful when denying my request for the opportunity to bury her after testing per our religious beliefs. To this day, I don't know how she was disposed of or where her remains are located.
Woman after woman tells me about their distress in flushing their child or throwing them out in the trash.
How we care for our children after death, no matter how small they may be, is an act of parenting. Being denied clear paths to respect the dignity our children and acknowledging the losses we experience is a large part of the problem.
In my red state, we have a law about how hospitals must dispose of human remains.
Unfortunately, the ways these laws are presented to parents by staff that are political activists further wound the parents. Rather than simply explaining to parents they have the option of choosing to manage the end of life care in their own, pick between cremation or burial by the hospital, or let the hospital decide; these activists tell parents the state is forcing the hospital to demand parents manage the disposal or face legal charges. There are no legal charges for parents if they refrain from making a decision. The decision defaults back to the hospital. Hospitals have protocols for managing human remains as part of biohazard standards.
Fear mongering is a staple of leftist tactics. It is emotional and trauma propoganda designed to create destabilization and panic presented as if it is compassion or empathy.
It is not empathetic or compassionate to lie to women in order to create anger and panic. It is not empathetic or compassionate to pretend there is no need for proper disposal of human remains after pregnancy loss.
If abortion is going to continue to be legal, we need to address the reality that human remains need to be disposed of rather than scapegoating the pain of women going through miscarriages.
@Fuzz2149@SkyTheViking This may shock some people, but there's a host of laws against improper disposable of a human body, of any age.
What's evil is using euphemisms like "pregnancy remains".
@ChrisLoesch@kml423@USConcubine@The_M_95 To be fair, she was entirely accurate about the lack of self awareness being astonishing, just probably not in the way she meant.
