Likely more than a quarter of pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion within the first 20 weeks. Often, the miscarriage happens so quickly that the woman doesn’t even know she was pregnant and thinks it’s just her period a little late. Alabama’s (and similar states’) newer abortion laws would at least throw suspicion on such women.
I don’t see how even a draconian anti-abortion law could construe spontaneous abortion as breaking the law.
“Were you smoking? Drinking? Vigorous exercise? Did you take some kind of drug to cause the miscarriage? Were you in a fight where someone shot you?”
Note that the last one is not a hypothetical anymore.
It’s not too much of a leap of imagination to envision someone in authority asking a woman, “Oh, you were 8 weeks pregnant but now you’re not? What did you do to cause that ‘spontaneous’ abortion you’re claiming?”
Nah, that wouldn’t refer to every woman who’s had a period but only to those who’ve ever had a miscarriage. If you can break a deal before it exists, you can abort a pregnancy which doesn’t exist yet. So, every period which involves a never-fertilized egg is the abortion of, not even one, but every potential fetus which might have been produced had that egg been fertilized. To prison to all women who are or have ever been of fertile age!
Perhaps that is one of the reasons folks are so eager to come to the United States. 
Juuuuust not to Alabama! Definitely not to Alabama!
Huh.
Pence returns to Washington for unspecified emergency
I suppose “they finally accepted the fact that Donald needs a new jacket with sleeves that tie in the back” is too much to hope for…
Someone lost the fabric swatches for the brand new Sherman Tanks.
Relaxing GIF I came across.
I mean the Inniskillin Fusiliers and the Anglian Regiment are all right if you’re interested in the art nouveau William Morris revival bit, but if you really want a regiment of the line that is really saying something about interior decor, then you’ve got to go for the Durham Light Infantry.
Royal Scots Dragoon Guards 4 evah, you colonial fucking traitor.
How to Tell when Trump is Lying
I mean, we al know the obvious answer – When His Lips are Moving or When he’s Tweeting, but CNN reporter Daniel Dale has observed a few interesting “tells”:
OK, got that? Additional evidence of TRump lying:
1.) An un-named person in a story he’s telling calls him “Sir”
2.) He claims to have set a new record
3.) He cites an actual number – the real number is often smaller (unless he’s talking about his crowds or voters)
From the horse’s, er, mouth this morning:
Yep, there’s not just going to be fireworks, there’s gonna be some doddering old guy rambling on for an hour or so, then fireworks!
Also, any time he says “Believe me”, don’t. Which I find is generally good advice - people who feel the need to repeatedly tell you to believe them are almost certainly lying.
Also, “Lots of people are saying”.
Another one is when he starts making that ‘pushing away’ motion with his hands while he’s talking.
No, those are invariably smaller than he claims, too.
That was a Sarah H. Sanders tell, too, along with that raised eyebrow thing she did.
