It will be very interesting to see how & how much this will effect the results of elections in the future. If both parties are smart they won't use this one issue as a litmus test for vetting their candidates as it could have significant unintended consequences both ways.
It could hurt R's with the "soccer moms" that presumably are prochoice & others in that category.
But it also could hurt D's among Hispanic and other populations that are strongly prolife though they have historically voted for the D's.
And, though some are convinced this issue will rile up one voting base more than the other and end up THE issue in '22, '24, & moving forward; the economy almost always trumps all other issues. A good economy & the incumbent party is pretty much a lock. A poor economy and it's only the long established incumbents that remain locks & open seats & those held by 1 or 2 termers of the party in power go for the other one. Maybe this will be different, but if inflation & shortages are still rampant; wouldn't have any money on this being the issue that carries the day this November.

Then this is where it gets illogical and indefensible. If a woman takes her one-year old baby to a doctor to be killed, she would be charged with accessory to murder or whatever the appropriate legal charge is. Under the logic of the hardliners, a woman taking her embryo/fetus to get an abortion is doing the same thing. To treat the two scenarios differently would be admitting that an embryo/fetus is not in fact the same as a person.
You keep asking this question of what the penalties will be for committing an abortion where it is newly illegal. Expecting they'll be similar, though in some cases less severe, to the penalties for committing an abortion in the 3rd trimester which is what most state laws have deemed illegal for most of the past 49 years. So, do some homework and find out.

Reminds of an old Bloom County comic. Opus was running for VP and said he was a statesman and Milo corrected him, telling him he's a politician. Opus asked what was the difference. The reply was that a statesman is a dead politician. The punch line was "we need more statesmen."
Some things are timeless.

What else can they do? Admit their leader, who they've been fluffing as having the most votes in history, is a failure?
Pretty sure everybody from either side of the aisle knew the US had to leave in the near future.
But the absolutely stunningly bad way that the US left could only have been anticipated by 46's absolute harshest critics. He found a way to repeat the evacuation of Saigon.
Good luck getting any foreign nationals to ever give us support in the future in foreign theaters.

They ALMOST have it locked up too because they would have to beat a team and lose a tie breaker to miss him.
I hope he goes back to school for another year. He already had Covid, what better pick up line than “Hey baby, Next year I’m going to be the first pick in the draft and I already have Covid Antibodies, no social distancing needed, wanna ________?”
You sure about that?
Thought draft order in the 1st round for teams had the same record was the team with the weakest strength of schedule got the earlier pick.

Pre '80 - Chandler definitely. Was really bummed when they traded him for Villipiano.
2nd favorite of that era was Looooooooouuuuu Piccone. Tasker before they had Tasker. It seemed they waived him every year at cutdowns & then brought him back once they put the guys they wanted to make sure they didn't lose but weren't quite ready onto IR. Definitely not a star, but busted his arse for them.

Pasta is up. FWIW I thought the screw job had to be the Mercury Morris fumble game.
That was another one from that era.
The clue that never really got a chance to throw in was that he was the best player of his era but not included on the list of best players of his century.

Looks like I was right about this one after what happened on this weeks episode.
Very well could be. This week's episode was weird. Not as weird as the "I can help" robot but still strange.
Seasons 1 & 2 were great. 3, IMHO, was disappointing. Have liked this season so far but it isn't as good as 1 or 2.
Expecting nearly everyone to be offed in the last 2 episodes. Mike (or whomever he is) will be one of the few to make it.

Bob MacAdoo, when the Braves owner was dumping players and he got traded to the Knicks.
It is McAdoo. Was referring to the hose job against the Celtics. But Snyder selling him off for $'s and bad players also works.

Shucks, thought I stuck it! Wade was born during Truman as POTUS! LoL...
Wade wasn't a player during "just give it to 'em."
And when last we checked, he wasn't African American.

If you can't answer a basic third nipple question why even pick that person?
Is the sports involvement ownership?
No.
He was famous for what he did prior to getting his current job.
Good Q regarding the 3rd N. Will try to do better next time.
