Facebook is a tough one but it is easy to choose a differ car, pillow, college, etc. |
you mean the very rich people? because "normal" people cannot buy a tesla or send a kid to vandy |
Your former employer was wise given the risk in Venezuela and Russia. Surely you realize the risk of investing in TN is not the same. FWIW, I know at least one global law firm that quietly restructured its ties in Russia: publicly-facing brand made a show of leaving while setting up an offshoot partnership. Win-win. Sigh. Businesses are driven by business, not emotion or ethics. Profit trumps everything. |
| Disney would have suffered if they did not stand up to desantis smacking the lgbtq community around. A bunch of trumpers and oblivious fools are not enough to keep that operation going. They need democratic employees and consumers. |
Interestingly, Manchin flew into Birmingham the Friday when the decision came down. He might have been meeting with corporate leaders or even Bama (he’s the BFF of the football coach, and Bama is a business). Damage control? |
Yes and if mc d kept selling burgers in russia, they knew they would see less here so they left. |
Many more people care about Disney than Vandy. |
You are either really obtuse or just plain ignorant, which is supported by you not supporting your lying claims with one iota of fact. Abortion is available in the U.S. up until the moment of birth if you choose to go to a place where it is allowed. Individual states have restrictions, but as a country, it is not as restrictive as most other countries, which actually have fairly strict timelines as well as counseling/waiting periods which we do not. There are multiple, multiple sources on the rights and restrictions in other countries. If you choose to not believe them, that is your problem, but it doesn't make me a liar. |
That is because people have their head in the sand. Once the impact starts to prevent more and more people from accessing healthcare and from enjoying healthy sex lives, people will realize all they have lost. My lawyer and doctor friends say it's already a sh"tshow. |
I am quite well informed. And you are wrong. |
Yes it does. Moment of birth? What kind of nonsense are you spewing? That is not happening unless there is some kind of total life or death emergency. Overturning Roe by a bunch of old conservative mostly men just shoved our sons and daughters back 50 years. We all had more rights than our daughters now do. It's outrageous. |
SO true! And here's the truth, unlike the garbage the earlier poster was spewing. https://www.axios.com/2022/05/14/abortion-state-laws-bans-roe-supreme-court About 93% of reported abortions in 2019 were performed at or before 13 weeks of pregnancy, 6% were conducted between 14 and 20 weeks and 1% were performed at or after 21 weeks, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who tend to have abortions later in a pregnancy do so because of "medical concerns such as fetal anomalies or maternal life endangerment, as well as barriers to care that cause delays in obtaining an abortion," per the Kaiser Family Foundation. People aren't waltzing into abortion clinics at 30 weeks just to have an elective abortion. |
Exactly how do you define a "healthy sex life?" Sleeping around with no concern for the consequences of these actions? |
You don't think you can have a healthy sex life without being able to have an abortion? |
There is no such thing as moment of birth abortion, it is called birth. All medical facilities have ETHICS boards and strict ethical standards. If a fetus is VIABLE and healthy in the third trimester, it is going to be BORN, it is the same procedure as an abortion, doctors don't kill fetuses that can survive. Abortions performed in the 3rd trimester account for less than 1% of abortions and are due to extreme circumstances, either to save the life of the mother or a major birth defect. |
