There’s a month of fertility injections (with _very_ large bore needles into the hip) with all the resulting hormonal issues, and then the ova retrieval procedure. Repeated until the eggs (plural) are fertilized in vitro and the recipient implants successfully. ---

Well, it’s _just allegations_, but there are now 16 therapists at 8 spas who accuse Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker of [sexual improprieties](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43874783/seven-more-accuse-ravens-justin-tucker-sexual-misconduct).

From the Guardian (full story [here](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/miami-shooting-israeli-men): > A Jewish man in Miami Beach is facing charges of attempted murder following accusations that he opened fire on two men he believed were Palestinians but reportedly turned out to be Israeli visitors. > > According to arrest documents, at 9.30pm on Saturday surveillance video appeared to show Mordechai Brafman, 27, getting out of his truck and opening fire with a semiautomatic handgun at a vehicle as it passed. Brafman allegedly fired 17 times, striking one victim in the left shoulder and grazing the other’s left forearm. > > While in custody, Brafman spontaneously told detectives that while he was driving his truck, “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both”, arrest documents said. > > Law enforcement officials did not confirm if the victims were in fact Palestinians and [the Miami Herald](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/crime/article300433159.html) reported that they were actually two vacationing Israelis, naming them as Ari Rabey and his father. > > Further complicating the incident, one of the injured men reportedly posted “death to the Arabs” in a message on social media after the shooting. “My father and I went through a murder attempt against antisemitic background,” [he wrote](https://x.com/KashifMD/status/1891299268423479742/photo/1). ---

That’s not cost-effective for the natural single-eggs dispensing. Getting a “free woman” to dispense multiple eggs in a month requires the administration of shots over a period of time _prior_ to the donation so it’s a bit more involved than just “stopping by” once a month. Also, those medications have side effects and possible long-term health consequences for the woman involved. All of which makes holding women captive so you have complete control over them appealing to a certain sort of exploitive human who has little to no regard for the rights of other people. ---
