Texas man files legal action to probe ex-partner’s out-of-state abortion

If the woman proceeded with the abortion, even in a state where the procedure remains legal, Davis would seek a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the abortion and “pursue wrongful-death claims against anyone involved in the killing of his unborn child,” the lawyer wrote in a letter, according to records.

Now, Davis has disclosed his former partner’s abortion to a state district court in Texas, asking for the power to investigate what his lawyer characterizes as potentially illegal activity in a state where almost all abortions are banned.
...

The decision to target an abortion that occurred outside of Texas represents a potential new strategy by antiabortion activists to achieve a goal many in the movement have been working toward since Roe v. Wade was overturned: stopping women from traveling out of state to end their pregnancies. Crossing state lines for abortion care remains legal nationwide.

That poor woman, it's absolutely fucked that the government has decided it's ok to terrorize half the population with this shit.

This isn't how democracy works!

Did Acton Cop miss Shacknews? This shit is insane.

Acorn hits his car and he mistakes it for a gunshot coming from inside the car (from the guy who was checked for weapons and handcuffed), and he freaks out.

Right, but have you heard about the the random speaker at a UCLA protest saying 'resistance is justified'? I find that significantly more disturbing.

The affidavit requesting the search warrant, first obtained by the New Orleans-based WWL Radio, alleges that multiple sex abuse victims provided statements that claim they were transported to other parishes and outside of Louisiana, where they were sexually abused. It further alleges a scheme within the archdiocese in which abused children were instructed to provide “gifts” to certain priests, which were meant to signal that the children were targets for sexual abuse.

According to the allegations in the affidavit, multiple victims reported that they were brought to the New Orleans Seminary, where they were instructed to “swim naked in the pool and would be sexually assaulted or abused.” It also alleges that investigators found that this was “a common occurrence” and that other members of the archdiocese were present.

Your local church is actually a child sex trafficking operation part eleventy billion.

Let's see... just off the top of my head, mojo was given a permaban because someone impersonated him while he was banned and one of the mods extended it to a perma for him violating the rules while acknowledging knowing that it wasn't actually him who registered the other account.

Then there's the way that pigvomit proximate cause was fired as a mod because some asshole joined fry's discord and found some posts he made that were critical of other mods from years ago - nothing crazy, mostly stuff like "wow I can't believe that post warranted a ban" - and that was used as evidence that he shouldn't be a mod.

I think having more transparency and accountability around modding would probably be a good thing.

Lmao, Kristi Noem says she personally met Kim Jong Un in her new book and stared him down.

I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all). Dealing with foreign leaders takes resolve, preparation and determination. My experiences on those many foreign trips made me a better member of Congress and a stronger governor. It allowed me to hone my deal-making skills, which play a crucial role in leadership.

Only issue is he didn't leave the country the entire time she was in office, and she never went there (obviously)
