The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

This is also true for impoundment.
Just so we’re clear:
There is no serious case against birthright citizenship. The EO is unjust and unconstitutional. Those who claim otherwise are wrong, and law professors who are doing so are behaving irresponsibly.

Just got invited to debate birthright citizenship at a T10 law school. So this is where we are.

Got to say I LOVE the Trump Administration negotiating to get Rare Minerals from Ukraine, for 2 reasons:
1. It reduces our dependence on China for Lithium and Graphite (China provides near 70% of world supply)
2. More than 50% of those minerals are in Russian Annexed land.

From the Sunset In The Park album
This sunset stopped the park in its tracks. Everywhere as far as the eye could see cars stopped cold, people got out and everyone stood in awe.
I was lucky to be in a good spot as it developed, because traffic was going nowhere.
