I'd be willing to bet there were more births in the hospital than that. How thorough were they in finding who was using the app? There's 37 births from women they know to be app users. Anybody keep track of abortions among app users?
That is why we have abstinence-only sex education that results in a lot of young mothers. Telling people to avoid sex works in some circumstances, not others. If that sort of thing really worked, almost none of us would be obese, since it may be prudent not to eat that second helping in the first place.
Yeah, religions do a lot of charitable stuff, which is good. They also aren't a monolithic anti-abortion bloc. There are plenty of religious people who are for abortion rights, although the anti-abortion religious people tend to get most of the press.
We know that teaching people about birth control and making it easier to get cuts down on abortions. However, the anti-abortion people tend to be the ones who want to make it hard to get any sort of birth control, and who want to push abstinence and not alternative. Hypocrites.
Who pays for prenatal care? Medical problems the mother has? Lost income from potentially difficult pregnancies? Pregnancy is arduous and dangerous, and can easily cause permanent harm. If a woman actually wants a baby, it becomes a lot more bearable.
The Internet was working fine before 2015 because the FCC enforced Net Neutrality. In 2015, the courts said they had to classify ISPs differently to enforce NN, that's all.
I see that the Obama economic boom is continuing. Trump really hasn't done anything about the economy. The biggest tax cut in US history is primarily for the wealthy. Some reasonable-income people will pay more, some less. It will, like all tax cuts, swell the deficit. I haven't noticed a net inflow of jobs. Ask the employees and ex-employees at the Carrier about Trump's promise to allow them to keep their jobs. Federal regulations are good and bad. Obama put the brakes on illegal immigration, to the point that Mexicans have had negative illegal immigration.
In the meantime, he's destroying US leadership in the world and saber-rattling with a nuclear power (if a small one).
I do like his approach to H-1B visas, so I can't say he's all bad.
There's no possibility of the Democrats being able to pass anything against Republican opposition until January 2021. In the meantime, they're raising the issue and can use it for leverage. That's how a minority party functions What do you expect them to do?
In other words, it was passed by a Republican-dominated Congress with a veto-proof majority, so it didn't matter who the President was. Looks like a primarily Republican measure to me, although it obviously had D support.
You're saying that premiums went up 400% to $600/month, which means the original rate was $120/month. Exactly what is a $120/month policy good for in the US? Are you sure that policy is going to do anything significant if people get seriously ill, aside from the insurance company coming up with some reason to cancel the policy, meaning you've now got a pre-existing condition and can't get any insurance for that?
Since "no intent" is currently a defense in the just-us system, no one wants to talk about it or prosecute the guy.
Are you saying that the classified material wound up on his computer by accident? He had intent to put the classified stuff on an unsecured system, and therefore will be prosecuted.if he doesn't plead guilty first.
Police arrest people for crimes that don't rise to the heights of being capital, and police arrest people who turn out to be innocent. The system isn't perfect. There's no reason the police couldn't arrest you or me tomorrow (it's not likely, but it's possible) because the evidence temporarily points to us wrongly. If anything can be taken as a sign of resistance, and a police officer is justified in killing someone resisting arrest, anyone can be shot by the police due to misunderstanding, whether malicious or not.
Whether or not criminals have more rights, the US prison system is the largest in the world, both per capita and in absolute size, and appear designed to take in various sorts of people and release hardened criminals who have little to lose.
The US police should focus on de-escalation. Overwhelming force is normally lethal force, and can easily result in someone being killed through not quite comprehending what's being yelled at them or being unable to comply immediately. In a case of an Air Marshall killing someone, the Marshal ordered the innocent but scared person to lie on his stomach, and said person was wearing a pack backwards, on his chest The victim was not given time to get the pack off before being shot dead.
Um, Obama had a Democrat-controlled Congress for two out of eight years, and even at its height the deficit was never four trillion. It's entirely possible that, with Democratic control of Congress, he could have lowered the deficit earlier. Many Republicans wanted Obama to fail more than they wanted the country to succeed.
Not all Free Software is copylefted. The definition of Free Software is clarified by the memorable phrase "Free as in speech, not as in beer." Lots of people have been trying to come up with meaningful and unambiguous words for lots of things. It's not always possible.
The real problem is that the ability to attack has improved more than the ability to defend. This is reality. We don't have missile defenses because they're extremely expensive and don't work very well. If another country develops nukes. we really can't stop them.
You've got all sorts of excuses to sit on your ass and complain, don't you? If you're that unhappy about your government, find out how you can push it in the direction you want rather than find reasons why you can't.
That's neither necessarily a solution nor the only solution. It may not be a solution if the fund relies on people paying in now to support people who retired earlier, like Social Security works. It's not the only solution: it could be run like a 401(k). (BTW, life insurance is irrelevant here. You can often get life insurance at group rates through an employer, which may be less expensive than buying your own, so figure out what's best for you and your needs. The only way life insurance would be relevant to retirement would be if you bought whole life, which is generally a worse idea than buying term insurance while you need it and contributing to a 401(k).)
If the government starts proposing a law to track you at all times then by all means get worked up about it. (yes that includes the NSA)
With or without a law or special software, they track you.
Guys, the very nature of a cell phone means that its position is always known to the telephone system, which is eager to hand over data on you to the proper or improper authorities. If you want to go somewhere and not let the FBI or NSA know where you're going, leave your cell phone at home. Whether they can track you by cell tower or GPS is almost irrelevant.

I'm glad that you're anti-abortion and favor birth control. That is a consistent view that isn't anti-sex.

And this is entirely predictable. It's like abstinence: not everybody's going to do it.

From the city names, I assume you're talking about Canada. Yep, that's not a real good single-payer system, although it's better than the US system.
Really? People were using "liberal" to mean "left" as far back as I remember, which is the 60s.
Youngster! I've been hearing lots of promises about fusion for at least 50 years now. It's always 10-30 years away.

I don't work for the regime, and I have contacted legislators. You're just being defeatist.
