Word is many people are going to lose their jobs. The people who don’t will be those who are already using AI.

It’s like the old joke about two guys in the woods about to be eaten by a bear. One of them realizes he only has to outrun his companion…

Pass the word on to those you know in the work force.

But I hear almost nothing from the pro-life side (male or female) addressing the core disconnect about life – when does it begin? whose body and how many bodies [or persons!] are a pregnant woman carrying around? The scientific fact that genetically there is no point after contraception that adds any more “humanity” to the fetus than from whence it started. Abortion as an after the fact/failed contraceptive convenience is an abhorrent moral posture.

Politically someone may have to say “Ideally I am for no abortions (with selected valid exceptions), but for practical political purposes I will accept half a loaf of 15 weeks, or 12 weeks, etc. until the society can be convinced and persuaded to the errors of the pro-abortion Leftist and Planned Parenthood position.” But even that compromise position seems to get too little proclamation. Or I am not reading the right sources??

But we can all thank our mothers that she did not get an abortion.
And if you believe in God, you can thank Him that she did not have a miscarriage.
However, most of us have said or done something dumb enough to present the possibility that we were dropped on our heads shortly after birth.

Every generation in the last 60 years has grown up with less of a sense of who it is than the previous one. The intangible sense of being an American that once came from boundless frontiers, a work ethic, a sense of fair play and meritocracy was replaced by cultural programming distributed by daily newspapers, big publishing houses and movie theaters, then television networks and colleges, and finally a massive chaotic stream of social media sewage.

Sewage in/sewage out you might say.

I think she is correct – that is, if I understand what she’s saying. It’s somewhat unclear from that article, but I think she means that Republicans should emphasize access to birth control plus abortion with 15-week limits as well as exceptions for rape, incest, to save the life of the mother, and I would add when a fetus has a fatal birth defect incompatible with life after birth.

“Strategists and operatives from both parties argue the issue has driven more voter turnout for Democrats in state and local elections across the country, evidenced by better margins for the Democratic position in those initiatives and other races.

“Conway says such ballot initiatives haven’t gone in Republicans’ favor because the left has pushed such measures under the guise of “reproductive freedom for all,” combined with the lack of exceptions for rape, incest and protecting the life of the mother in efforts to limit, or ban, abortion.

“To speak with conviction and compassion, to reflect consensus, to move hearts and minds, means that if you want to discuss a 15-week national minimum standard, then you are reflecting consensus,” she said, citing statistics that show a strong majority of Americans fall within the range that there should be no abortion at all and no abortions past 15 weeks.

“When you do that, you get up to 71% of America, and that reflects consensus. But it also shows conviction and compassion, because in 15 weeks, a woman knows she’s pregnant and the baby can feel pain,” she added.

We are not worthy!

Here’s one of Death Cab for Cutie’s best songs. The songwriter, Ben Gibbard, idolized Jack Kerouac and made a pilgrimage to the Big Sur cabin Lawrence Ferlinghetti lent Kerouac so Kerouac could, hopefully, put his life back together. Didn’t work out that way.
