North Dakota’s Senate passed a pair of anti-abortion measures Friday that are considered to be the most restrictive in the nation, including one that would prevent women from having an abortion based on a genetic defect.
The measures now to go to Republican Gov. Jack Dalrymple who has indicated he will sign them.
The new state laws are even more strict than one finalized last week in Arkansas that would make the procedure illegal after 12 weeks of pregnancy. One North Dakota measure would prevent women from having abortions based on a genetic defect, like Down syndrome. The other would ban doctors from performing an abortion if a fetal heartbeat is detected—as early as five or six weeks. …

Ditto. And when you do say something stupid, and when your stupid comment puts in jeopardy every other race in the nation, then do the right thing and withdraw. But like you said, there's stupid, and then there's Republican stupid.
I’ve thought about that a lot in regard to the contrast between the house election, senate and Presidential election.
It seems to me the most logical explication would be differences in turn out. Perhaps an indication of fraud based vote inflation and/or get out the vote effort advantages by the democrats, in specific urban areas.
Basically the corrupt democratic precits in urban areas producing much higher than normal vote totals throwing off state wide elections, but of course due to districting are unable to throw off the other state local elections.
Thanks for the in-depth analysis. For my part, I think I’d prefer the good people of North Dakota swapping their habits; I’d far rather they start sending the CONSERVATIVES to Washington D.C. and keep the liberal tendencies of their Democrats all to themselves although — being here in CA — I know how hard that can be. Our rural and suburban Conservative and moderate Republican votes just get overwhelmed by the libtard votes from our big metro regions.
Thanks, again, for the ‘splainin’.
And why did she continue going to that doctor?
As a patient, I would have a hard time trusting a physician who sees nothing wrong with killing, or who would rather take the easy way out of killing the (unborn) patient rather than dealing with the problem.
I have no idea. I try very hard with her, but she is one of those people who “don’t like to make waves”.
Mitt Romney apparently had negative coattails.
I’d not be here myself if my mother had listened to her doctor....
Good thing we have folks like Portman to help us Progress!
Thank the Good Lord! (((hug)))
Thanks!! You’re a sweetheart! :D
Right back at you!
Liberals are going to complain that this is a violation of their civil rights, because why not be able to erase the consequences of bad decisions, ie promiscuous, unprotected sex.
The disconnect between logic and intelligence is startling.
With you on that, brother. Or maybe just change their habits and elect tightwads to everything.
But the farmers want/need the farm program, seniors like to vote for their programs, and the university towns (the two largest in the state) are always after their stash too.
Get 'em hooked on the freebie I.V. and it's hell to break the habit, hey?
“I’m a union member, and From ND. I am sure there are other union members here on FR.”
Can I ask you something? Do you honestly believe that your wages/benefits are not inflated by your union’s extortions?
“Labor unions permit laziness, but that doesn’t mean all the members are lazy.”
Not all turds smell either. Now, you would not say that certain turds are okay just because a different type of turd smells worse.
Yes I can honestly say that my wages/benefits are not inflated by the union's extortions.
The union was the recognised bargaining entity when I started working where I work, the only choice I had was to be a part of that process or not.
Dealing with the management staff where I work as the union unit president has clearly showed me why unions came to be, if it weren't for the work of the people in our union unit our employee's wages/benefits would be severely deflated by management's extortions.
“if it weren’t for the work of the people in our union unit our employee’s wages/benefits would be severely deflated by management’s extortions.”
In a free-market economy, if the business pays an employee less, then that must be because that employee is worth less. That employee can move on to greener pasture, assuming that the employee is worth more elsewhere. If he is not worth more elsewhere, why would he expect to more in his current employment? Do you disagree?
Unions have absolutely no place in a free-market and free-will economy. The only reason the unions exist is to pervert the supply of labor... in most cases, unskilled labor, aka drones. Individual rights and business rights are trampled, while the collective gets fatter and more corrupt.
“We don’t have a laissez-faire free market economy do we - that is the fatal flaw. There is way too much totalitarianism if not that crony capitalism. The management philsophy I work under is not what you see in Gault’s Gultch, no, it’s more like what you would hear from Wesley Mouch. And unions are not to blame for that.”
Granted that the business is corrupt, but why are you working for them? You (and other workers) could leave such a corrupt environment(aka exercising your choice). Most likely situation is that you(not personally, but union workers in general) are so ingrained in the corruption that they have become part of the problem itself (along with the cronies).
I’m trading time for money.
The union employees here are not “so ingrained in the corruption that they have become part of the problem itself”. The staff employees where I work get treated worse than the union employees!
