If there was no detectable fetal heartbeat (there wasn't), and the mother's life was at risk (it was) then the ER should have done a D&C immediately and there would have been no repercussions. They took nearly 20 hours to do that. That's on them. The law didn't cause it. Amber's poor decisions and the ER's ineptitude killed the young woman. Paint it however you want, those are facts.

That's a double-edged sword. Lumberton lost the same amount of seniors this year and are seeing a decline in performance. Hopefully, BC can back those senior numbers up with quality underclassmen or next year could be a tough row to hoe.

First off, this is a tragic ending you a young woman’s life. My heart goes out to her family & friends. However, there are aspects to her story that we don’t know the answer to and certainly some aspects that we can’t ignore. What we don’t know: What was the reason for the abortion (other than to end an innocent life)? Was it rape/incest/health reasons which many preach as an acceptable reason although statistics show this is less than 5% of abortion cases combined? Was it for mere birth control after the fact which comprises the other 95+% of reasons for an abortion? If it was the latter, which is an overwhelming probability, then you can possibly say that poor choices in birth control played a part in this young woman. What we do know: Georgia’s pro-life heartbeat act was not responsible for Thurman’s death. That is because the law allows physicians to intervene in cases of medical emergencies or if the preborn child has no detectable heartbeat. Both of these clearly applied in Thurman’s case. Furthermore, a D&C to remove the remains of an unborn child that has died is not an abortion and is not criminalized in Georgia. In this case, Thurman’s death was caused by chemical-abortion pills – not always a safe alternative – just ask Amber Nicole Thurman. The FDA’s own labeling states that one in 25 women will have to visit the emergency room after taking mifepristone which is what they gave her according to Silly Willy. His post was also quoted saying “Due to traffic on the way to the appointment, the NC clinic was only able to offer Thurman mifepristone and misoprostol "and instructed [her] to go to the emergency room if complications developed". Silly Willy’s post also states once she went to the emergency room after passing out at home, “doctors continued Thurman on an IV drip and antibiotics. 17 hours after arriving, her condition deteriorating, Thurman was taken into the operating room”. So they waited 17 hours then finally decided to do surgery and she died. Traffic? Really? So Ms. Thurman didn’t make it to the appointment on time to end an inconvenient pregnancy, wasn’t willing to come back another day for a surgical abortion, was given unsafe chemical abortion pills to end her unborn baby’s life instead, was dismissed by the abortion clinic after the procedure to go to the emergency room if it didn’t work out, decides to go to the ER as instructed and doesn’t get treated until it’s too late and dies, and this is all trying to be blamed on Georgia’s abortion ban? Sounds like poor choices, poor planning and poor medical care are more likely the reason. A comedy of errors, not the abortion ban is the reason she’s dead, starting with her own poor choices which just snowballed from there. Once again, tragic. A horrible end to a young woman’s poor choices.

Normally I would agree, but my Mighty Raiders have seen better days in the last few years.

Don’t trust any of them. They’re all in business to keep us pitted against each other. That’s how it works.

Winner & score prediction?

Hoping for a Tiger win, but I give the advantage to Hitchcock.

But you only saw one team 3 classes up lose by 2 scores. -
Told you so. 😂

🙄

If it’s lateral, is that why Silsbee is beating a school 3 classes higher than them?
-
probably didn’t want to stay and lose.

Gutfeld Outpacing Competition with Independents AND Democrats
SmashMouth replied to thetragichippy's topic in Political Forum
I actually like the show. I don't watch every night, but I do watch a few times a week. Gutfeld, not a staunch conservative, is a pretty intelligent guy. By and large, I can't generally stand watching FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS or any other news outlets feature hosts. I do like the actual news reporting from Brett Baier on FOX though, and I like watching "The Five" on FOX. Ingraham & Hannity on FOX have lost my interest. -
Just for fun: What poster does this make you think of? "Routh (Trump's 2nd alleged would be assassin) made a number of political posts on X. Before Sunday's assassination attempt, he called Trump a "buffoon," an "idiot" and a "fool," writing that he had supported Trump in 2016 but came to view that decision as a "a terrible mistake." I will withhold my comments 'til I hear from y'all. Lol.

Remind me who West Brook, can't seem to find it. Oh wait, I remember... 0-3 Lumberton 1-2 MacArthur
-
No, but you did say West Brook was in control of the Lumberton game - not for 2.5 quarters they weren't. And Lumberton is not very good this year. You also said the Silsbee game "should be a good game". For that to be a good game for West Brook, they should blow Silsbee (3 classes below West Brook) out of the water. Probably not gonna happen. Since you don't know what it means, I've included what the term "rose-colored glasses" means: From the dictionary - "an optimistic view of things, usually without valid basis." That describes you.
-
Take off the rose colored glasses, and you’ll see a clearer picture.

Might be a long wait. Go ahead and pile on right now. You know you want to.

I actually LMAO. But you gotta back me up with some Kamala Ho bashing. Forget about DJT for just a minute. It'll be fun!
