@EruditeMidnight @opkimistic @JessicaValenti The video doesn't clearly explain it, but basically North Carolina's law makes that illegal as well, since the embryos with genetic issues are destroyed. But these are embryos in a lab- there's no pregnancy that's ended, i.e. no abortion.

@EruditeMidnight @opkimistic @JessicaValenti No she isn't. What she needs is pre implantation genetic diagnosis. That means her embryos have to be made in a lab and then tested to see if they have the damaged genes, then only healthy embryos are implanted. She's not saying she needs abortions.

@_NicoTheLegend_ @taskmaster_K @jk_rowling Sounds like she may have been born with a syndrome which caused her to appear female, though her chromosomes would generally be those of a male. Likely neither she nor her family would have been aware of this as she grew. So she's not trans, since she never thought she was male.

@bus40074774 @GenoVeno73 Here's the thing- I HAVE been shot at, and I DID try to grab my shoes. In my early 20s I was at a house party where there was a drive by, and one of my first thoughts WAS to grab my shoes (heels that I'd taken off because they were hurting my feet). So that makes sense to me 🫤

@life0fabdi @NPR $8 billion in revenue, across a 23 hospital system. That's an entirely different story. As someone who runs a small business I know very well that revenue is NOT profit. I wish!

@callyhill55 @ambermruffin That it shouldn't be that way, but a jury verdict in the United States most certainly does not require that all 12 people agree.

[Abigail Harrington @sugar7399]

@callyhill55 @ambermruffin You do understand that 12 people DON'T have to agree for jury verdicts, right? In most states, all 12 do need to agree to convict a person, but all 12 not need to agree to acquit a person. In fact it could be 11 to 1 in favor of conviction. Now I'm not saying.......

@lydiainpeckham @JimMFelton That's Baratunde Thurston. He's an author and activist, and quite funny 😊

@elonjames I did call the police. They came. Refused to do anything. Said I couldn't prove I didn't want it. Four years later, I still hurt
