Meanwhile...
"The pregnant cow that narrowly escaped slaughter last month by kicking open a door, jumping off a two-level cattle trailer on Route 80 in Paterson, then giving birth days later at a sanctuary, is getting attention from lawmakers.
Brianna's Law has been introduced by Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly, D-Passaic. It would make transporting pregnant livestock for slaughter and killing pregnant livestock fourth-degree crimes."

Here's the kind of retrograde, extremely activist judges McConnell is ramming through the Senate
The Fifth Circuit Will Bend Over Backward to Restrict Abortion Rights
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal’s rulings in June Medical Services v. Gee,
a lawsuit challenging Louisiana’s admitting privileges law,
the mess the Fifth Circuit has made of the case is as clear an example of judicial activism—in its true sense
a two-judge majority of a three-judge Fifth Circuit panel (https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5th-Circuit-panel-Opinion.pdf)
contorted logic, reason, and the rules governing appellate procedure
to uphold Louisiana’s law requiring abortion providers to obtain admitting privileges at hospitals located within 30 miles of their clinic.
And last week, the Fifth Circuit declined to rehear the case (https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/June-Med-Servs-v.-Gee-5th-Cir-denial-of-rehearing-admitting-privs.pdf) en banc to allow the full court to weigh in
—meaning the law will remain in effect unless the case goes back up to the Supreme Court.
Act 620, the law at issue in June Medical Services v. Gee, is
basically identical to the admitting privileges provision in Texas’ HB 2,
which the Supreme Court struck down in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt as an undue burden on the right to an abortion
Still, despite the striking similarities between June Medical Services and Whole Woman’s Health, the Fifth Circuit panel reversed the district court’s ruling and upheld the Louisiana law.
The Fifth Circuit decided that there was no evidence that clinics would close as a result of the law.
(In fact, there were mountains of evidence that the district court considered.).
The court also decided that if the law went into effect, two clinics with one provider each would remain open, as if this in and of itself is not a clear undue burden.
It also determined that any clinic closures would be the doctors’ fault,
because they didn’t try hard enough to obtain admitting privileges.

Looks like a poorly written bill and a really poor job of explaining it.
The obvious intent seems to be to loosen restrictions on terminating a non-viable birth. I don't know if you guys actually believe Democrats want to kill healthy babies after they're born or if you're just pushing that narrative because it suits you. Either way, it's a dumb look. But it's an effective one when delivered to the right audience.

You are absolutely wrong about the language of the bill. It has nothing to do with the viability of the baby. I am not claiming that it is a common occurrence to abort viable babies at 9 months but making it perfectly legal just seems so wrong on a moral basis.

i'm in agreement with the supreme court's layout in planned parenthood v casey, and with new york's recent statute codifying it.
i dont think the government should have much, if any, say concerning pre-viability abortions. i think after viability, you'd have to make an affirmative showing of legitimate health concerns for the mother, and the closer you get to the birth due date, the more significant that showing has to be.
if a state wants to further loosen those guidelines, that's their prerogative, and i wouldn't agree with it, personally. i dont agree with what but penal codes are up to the states. a state can choose to decriminalize murder if they wanted to. doesn't mean i'd agree with it. i dont support the scenario the virginia government laid out either.

I said the language was bad. My argument is intent. Based on all of the comments from proponents, viability was their intended focus.
Unless, of course, you believe that's bullshit and they actually want to kill healthy babies and the doctors involved would agree to do so.

Problem is defining "if it affects the mothers health". This includes mental health and there is no guideline for what is appropriate and legal.

Wrong again.Well, you'll have to post the entire bill and point out the passage guaranteeing the baby killing.
HB 2491 Abortion; eliminate certain requirements.
Introduced by: Kathy K.L. Tran | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Abortion; eliminate certain requirements. Eliminates the requirement that an abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy and prior to the third trimester be performed in a hospital (thought we were trying to prevent back alley abortions). The bill eliminates all the procedures and processes, including the performance of an ultrasound, required to effect a woman's informed written consent to the performance of an abortion (sounds like nothing's wrong with the baby); however, the bill does not change the requirement that a woman's informed written consent be first obtained. The bill eliminates the requirement that two other physicians certify that a third trimester abortion is necessary to prevent the woman's death or impairment of her mental or physical health, as well as the need to find that any such impairment to the woman's "mental or physical" (quotes from the full text) health would be substantial and irremediable. The bill also removes language classifying facilities that perform five or more first-trimester abortions per month as hospitals for the purpose of complying with regulations establishing minimum standards for hospitals.

they're removing the "substantial and irremediable" guideline, which, yeah, is something i'd probably disagree with imo, on a personal level
but would probably need to think on it quite a bit to determine if that opinion rises to where i think it should legally be imposed on others...

91.1% of abortions were performed at ≤13 weeks’ gestation;
a smaller number of abortions (7.6%) were performed at 14–20 weeks’ gestation, and
even fewer (1.3%) were performed at ≥21 weeks’ gestation."

U.S. high court temporarily blocks Louisiana abortion restrictions
prevented a Louisiana law imposing strict regulations on abortion clinics from taking effect in a case that presents a key test on the contentious issue following last year’s retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy, a pivotal supporter of abortion rights.
Hope Medical Group challenged the law’s requirement that
doctors who perform abortions
must have a difficult-to-obtain formal relationship called “admitting privileges”
at a hospital within 30 miles (48 km) of where the procedure would be performed.

by contrast, here's a bit on the next Governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax:
On Monday, Stonewall Jackson’s birthday, Fairfax knew that a random senator would likely try honor Jackson at the end of the session. So what did the Lt. Governor do? He brought two men, Dr. Warren Christian, the great great grandson of Stonewall Jackson, and the Reverend Robert W. Lee IV the great, great nephew of Robert E. Lee, to the Senate building. These two guests aren’t just related to the two confederate icons, they have argued for years that Virginia should stop honoring their ancestors.
“As a Robert Lee, I want to be a different footnote in history,” Lee said in an interview afterward with the Washington Post (https://www.fredericksburg.com/news/va_md_dc/on-mlk-day-descendants-of-lee-stonewall-jackson-urge-va/article_40cb3e2a-1e50-11e9-9b3e-fb7038583f3d.html) “And I want to stand with Justin Fairfax ... and say that honoring the racist white supremacist past that we hold with statues, with mentions ... on the floor of the commonwealth’s legislature is a no-go for me, and a no-go for so many people of goodwill in the South.”
It was quiet. It was simple, and guess what? The Republicans in the Virginia Senate blinked. No one said anything. No one attempted to honor Jackson on his birthday, no one attempted to besmirch the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with white supremacist Confederate nonsense. They knew there would be questions to ask and hell to pay if they honored Stonewall Jackson as a member of his own family was in the Senate chambers standing right next to Fairfax ready to decry the whole debacle. Justin Fairfax shut the whole thing down with two guests, a firm position, and using power to stop a vulgar re-telling of history.

Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia Denounces Sexual Assault Allegation as a ‘Smear’
Video
Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia denied an allegation that he once committed sexual assault in 2004. The comments came as Gov. Ralph Northam considers resigning over past racist behavior.

Feb. 4, 2019
RICHMOND, Va. — Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of Virginia emphatically denied on Monday a woman’s claim that he sexually assaulted her in 2004, suggesting that Gov. Ralph Northam’s supporters were trying to block his ascent to the governorship at a moment when Mr. Northam is besieged by demands that he resign over charges of racism.
“Does anybody think it’s any coincidence that on the eve of potentially my being elevated that that’s when this uncorroborated smear comes out?” Mr. Fairfax told reporters surrounding him in the rotunda of the state Capitol about whether he believes Mr. Northam, a fellow Democrat, was behind the accusation’s coming to light. He offered no evidence tying the Northam camp to the allegation.

I expect Repugs paid a cheap MAGA bitch to smear Fairfax.
If so, the Repubs would have brought it out BEFORE the election. The NY article says Fairfax's implication is that the smear is from Northam.
The Lieutenant Governor is elected at the same time as the Governor, but in Virginia, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor are elected separately, i.e., they do not run as a ticket.

"The premise here is that nobody was talking about Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court back in 2012. That premise is false.
Here's an April 2012 piece in Reuters, headlined "A Romney pick for top U.S. court? Frontrunners emerge." It mentions Paul Clement as the "favorite" but immediately adds "Mentioned as often as Clement is Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.""

Well Democrats get to decide whether they want to actually deal with issue of races and the past or just purge anyone who might have been an idiot at some point in the past.
And Fairfax? Looks like both sides hired lawyers straight from the Ford debacle. I'd expect the same result except the party might still put pressure on him. Still a tough path for her since it's difficult to accept a 26 year old educated woman who didn't go to the police in 2004.

While we are cleaning house...
Rick Perry family’s hunting camp still known to many by old racially charged name
******head,” it read.
Ranchers who once grazed cattle on the 1,070-acre parcel on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River called it by that name well before Perry and his father, Ray, began hunting there in the early 1980s. There is no definitive account of when the rock first appeared on the property. In an earlier time, the name on the rock was often given to mountains and creeks and rock outcroppings across the country. Over the years, civil rights groups and government agencies have had some success changing those and other racially offensive names that dotted the nation’s maps.
But the name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor. Some locals still call it that. As recently as this summer, the slablike rock — lying flat, the name still faintly visible beneath a coat of white paint — remained by the gated entrance to the camp.
