Eh, it provides a certain amount of benefit for making sure soldiers actually want to do crap assignments. Your whole time crammed in a submarine is untaxable, the dude who instead deployed to California and is enjoying the weather there gets taxed. It provides a bit of incentive.

As an experienced tax preparer, I can verify that combat pay, which is pretty much anything while deployed, is tax exempt. Pay during normal day-to-day operations is taxable but having done many military personnel taxes, that's not a very big part of their pay.

West Virginia has effectively banned abortion outside of edge cases. As a side effect the law requires all abortions to be performed in a hospital by a doctor, instantly shuttering all abortion clinics even in those edge cases...

He clarifies that electrical signals in the brain are thoughts literally in his first sentence.

While I disagree with Abhorsen in this matter, chiefly because I've found there's no actual clear line as to when brain activity begins (The neural plate starts forming in the first few days and begins sending electrochemical signals between it's synapses immediately) I feel I need to provide a...

Yeah, but that's not an answer to the fact that most people died as children historically. Does that mean those children weren't human? Or if "Known" is your criterion, are you saying it doesn't matter if all the witnesses are dead too? Carrying this thought process further, suppose some sort...

Throughout most of human history, infant mortality was horrifically high and half of all humans didn't make it past childhood. Were children only worth half as much then?

I do love his responses to some of their tweets as he kept trolling them. Twitterati: "You protect the unborn, but what about teens and adults?" Justice Dankula: "It's illegal to kill them too." Twitterati: "What are you going to do for all these children when they grow up?" Justice Dankula...

But he's talking about sending 100 guys at once. Granted since they're from areas with severe gun control, they're probably going to be armed with bats and pipes and they can maybe throw bricks. But still, 100 guys, how could any country town with a measly several thousand hunters and farmers...

B-But... Minorities are supposed to support Democrats!

Naw, Frisco's super-conservative according to them so obviously they'll support an Abortion Ban, otherwise all the MSM and such saying it's a conservative hotspot would be lying.

Yeah, that's a very recent edit (last year) entry that's obviously doing the usual "Futzing with word definitions to obscure" game. Kinda like when they edited "Herd immunity" to say only vaccines could provide it.

According to various sites like SB, abortion has a 70% approval rating or more among the general population, and they must never, ever put it up to a vote where those numbers would allow them casual curbstomp of their political opponents.

So basically no humans at all, given how hilariously dependent we all are on symbionts living inside us?
