Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame. n.pr/493YcAm
Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?

The questions it raises are all specifically premised on the clear and immutable fact, not present at all in this framing, that this "move" is illegal, is not legal, is criminal, is a crime.
The Pentagon accepted a $130 million anonymous donation to pay active-duty troops during the government shutdown, a move that raises questions about private funding.
The contribution will only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops.

Pentagon to use $130 million anonymous donation to help pay troops
The amount is less than a day’s worth of salaries. Fiscal policy experts say the move also raises legal questions.

We have been a feminist organization since our beginning and we know we need intersectional feminism more than ever. Intersectional feminism is feminism that is inclusive of BIPOC women and trans women. If it’s not intersectional, it ain’t feminism. Period.

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.
He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.
