The policies supported by conservatives that cause more abortions are not considered an immoral choice, but policies supported by liberals that decrease abortions are seen as a threat to moral society.

Or the time crunch of having to decide on impulse knowing an abortion will be unavailable to you soon with ever tightening gestational age restrictions.

To say they should reconsider their voting allegiances because what they are doing is immoral and callous is mean to the widdle Republican voter. They just wanted to save every little aborted fetus. Lost only to slutty women taking the easy way out, and not to an inadequate social safety net.

How were they to know this would be the outcome of their votes last election? And now that they know this outcome, how can they, salt of the Earth, honest hard working people, be expected to vote any differently based on this information?

no Republican voter should under any circumstances take *personal responsibility* for this.

Hundreds of thousands of deaths of living, breathing people this year, followed by 14 million deaths by 2030 by cuts in USAID, while supplies already bought by our tax dollars rots in warehouses, resulting in harm to the United States reputation instead of creating goodwill towards our country:

People do accuse anti-abortion conservatives of being uncaring to actual babies, extending personal responsibility to women but not men, and other hypocrisies. But this is seen as mean, unacceptable behavior.

They mean, “I understand the compulsion to be lazy and make selfish choices,” not, “I understand the empathy required to look at a pregnant teenager and want her to be able to make a choice about how she wants to proceed in her life.”

Conservatives are never asked to imagine having so much empathy for a woman or girl who doesn’t want to be pregnant that you would support abortion. They claim “tolerance” and what they mean by that is, “I am putting up with your deep moral failings,”

Liberals are not given the same moral benefit of the doubt. Being pro-abortion means you want lascivious women to be lazy about addressing the consequences of their own actions.

Anyway, I find it interesting that woo is always presented as being cutting edge, not yet caught on research, when not infrequently it is very old news. “Oh, that.”

The problem is that most children with autism do not have mitochondrial diseases.
Children with mitochondrial diseases are also at greater risk from vaccine preventable diseases, and so the recommendation is that they receive all vaccines, because it is much safer than having multiple infections.

But because vaccines can cause fever (and possibly encephalitis), and this could *theoretically* have stressed a mitochondrial disorder, the case was settled.
It then became a thing to claim children were getting autism from vaccines because they had underlying mitochondrial disorders.

Mitochondrial disorders can cause developmental delay and the symptoms Hannah Poling had. They frequently develop around the age she developed her symptoms. Natural infections and fever are thought to exacerbate mitochondrial disorders, and she had a history of multiple ear infections and fevers.

That brings us to the famous case of Hannah Poling. An award was granted by the NCVIA based on the theory that vaccines had caused a rare encephalitis that had exacerbated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, causing autism and developmental delays. This happened in 2008.

The NCVIA pays out if it’s *possible* someone was injured by a vaccine, not just likely or proven by experts. So if there’s a reasonable medical theory for the vaccine injury, an award can be granted.

but patients can still be compensated for injury.
And because it serves that second purpose, to make sure people are compensated who need to be, the requirements to claim vaccine injury are LOWER at NCVIA than regular civil court.

On the other hand, adverse effects from vaccines can happen. People deserve to be compensated, especially since vaccines are officially recommended. So the NCVIA was formed: a court system where vaccine manufacturers are protected (as long as they produced the vaccine correctly)…

The same thing almost happened to DTP. Payouts from lawsuits were so high for the vaccine manufacturers they threatened to shut down production. (Meanwhile there were deaths from illnesses that could have been prevented by the vaccine.) Even though the vaccine was not proven to be at fault.

Studies showed no connection between the medication and birth defects, to the point that it became one of the best studied medications and Pregnancy Category A (no concern it could cause birth defects). Now that medication is back in the form of Diclegis, but it took 30 years.

The NVICP was created because a pharmaceutical company can be sued into oblivion if a side effect is suspected, even if it is not scientifically proven. This happened with Bendectin, a medication for morning sickness that was taken off the market due to claims of causing birth defects.
