True or False
The progressive purity tests are hamstringing pragmatic solutions on abortion in Missouri.
- Quade statement and plan for resolution
- Planned Parenthood Great Planes says on their website: Strong advocacy for reproductive rights in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma
- ACLU seems absent in the moment
- Simply a case of folks realizing it’s time to swallow some pride and get the job done?
- Adam’s take: Failure on this topic is an epitaph - here lies abortion access for women in Missouri, killed by the STL clubhouse political mentality that continues to see outlying Missouri as an afterthought
- At least Quade forces the discussion, which Republicans cannot win

Yeah… No
Another abhorrent story of criminalizing women for being pregnant while stripping away their access to health care comes out of Ohio this time
From article: Brittany Watts was still hooked to an IV, sick for almost a week from a potentially fatal miscarriage, when a detective from the Warren Police Department in Ohio stepped into her hospital room. He assured her that she wasn’t in any trouble.
For more than an hour, Detective Nick Carney interviewed Watts, 33, about the details of that morning and the whereabouts of the nearly 22-week-old fetus that was declared nonviable two days earlier. As Watts described miscarrying in her bathroom, a nurse at Mercy Health — St. Joseph Warren Hospital rubbed her shoulders and told her everything would be okay, Watts told The Washington Post in a series of text messages.
Comes on the heels of learning that SCOTUS is taking up a case on Mifepristone access

Verdict on Fraud Case:
Not to be lost in all of this: Rudy is gonna get HAMMERED in Georgia case
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4361916-cnn-giuliani-defense-georgia-election-workers/
- Defense of immunity
- Trump didn’t bother to testify in his own fraud trial, same time that GOP was going ape shit about Hunter Biden not going to a closed deposition
- Another good reminder that when a group of republicans are on a microphone making accusations about a boogie man issue like Hunter it’s like a 99.999% chance they are projecting and doing the same thing at the same time

Steve Martin’s One Holiday wish:
Rachel:
Sean:
Adam: My holiday wish is for Americans to sit back, look at their families and friends at the gatherings and realize that we are living in a place and time where the only thing standing in the way of universal access to health care, living wages, and a rising tide of prosperity is the hubris and greed of the billionaires so many treat as demi-gods and start putting their neighbor’s over the hate and rhetoric - I would also like a pre-war Martin D-18 in mint condition
