It has to do with the idea (the GOP actually believes this) there there are all these sluts out there who just LOVE having abortions and will basically use anything as an excuse to have one!

If the Bible is anything to go by the real crime of incest is that daughters drug their fathers and rape them. Not only should we keep these slatterns from murdering these precious blesséd babies, but we should assume fathers are innocent and relieve these spermjacked men of any duty to pay child support for these worthless curséd babies.

It's based on the normal practice of counting your term from your last period rather than the actual date of conception.

haveblue posted:What was this? I remember a few years ago they tried to change the date of conception formula, is this a new thing? Yeah, you're thinking of the short-lived push to recognize gestational age as the operative quantity, i.e. you are already pregnant on the last day of your last period before the month in which you ovulate and conceive, so that the unborn child is already two weeks old by the time it comes into existence. Which by the way is how they calculate your due date, whether you ovulate on day 14 or 11 or 17 of your cycle. No, it doesn't make any sense to me either but them's doctors for you.

I mean obviously the SEC did not have good responses to the financial crisis but given the fact that Goldman was only charged with 17(a) violations (which does not require a showing of intent unlike other fraud provisions of securities laws) the SEC probably had flimsy evidence and wanted to put the Goldman case behind them while looking tough. More incompetence than conspiracy.

More incompetence than conspiracy. If Goldman genuinely settled all their pending CDO cases and not just a single case, this is something they should want to publicize, since it means they're not facing any further investigation. Meanwhile, the SEC admitting to having settled all the CDO cases for a pittance per case would make them look bad, because it would be admitting that they weren't going to do poo poo about an obvious fraud. That's where the collusion comes in. The SEC buckled and accepted a pittance for Goldman's fraudulent activities, but announced it as a settlement for only 1 specific case and lied to the public in claiming that the settlement had no impact on the other pending Goldman CDO investigations. The SEC gets to look tough for levying a major penalty for CDO activity (when they actually didn't), and Goldman gets off the hook for a whole range of criminal activity for the price of a relatively tiny sum of money and an agreement not to tell the public about how the SEC is openly lying about the settlement.

Whatever the date is, South Carolina is determined to be the first state to give that little guy the right to Stand his Ground. quote:The South Carolina Senate Judiciary Subcommittee voted 3-2 Thursday to approve the "Pregnant Women's Protection Act," a measure that would expand the state's "Stand Your Ground" law to permit pregnant women to use deadly force in defense of an unborn child, beginning at conception. The logical next step would be to permit someone other than the pregnant mother to use deadly force to defend the zygote, or maybe first move to allow any pregnant woman to defend any unborn child.

thefncrow posted:If Goldman genuinely settled all their pending CDO cases and not just a single case, this is something they should want to publicize, since it means they're not facing any further investigation. It doesn't appear that the SEC halted all investigations into Goldman Sachs CDO/other asset backed securities fuckery leading to the financial crisis as Goldman states in its FY 2011 10-K that it received a Wells notice (basically a letter of intent to prosecute by the SEC) in February of 2012 over a 2006 offering of subprime mortgage backed securities. (Phone posting but 10-K is available in EDGAR). Given how long SEC investigations take, whatever case they received a Wells notice for in 2012 would have been ongoing at the time of the settlement. I think that less than an assurance that the SEC was going to quietly drop all CDO related probes, the SEC wanted to reserve the right to prosecute further if it developed strong cases and throw away the shittier ones. That email doesn't seem like a smoking gun to me, because the guy who sent it is the head of enforcement, which conducts investigations, not litigation after the SEC has gone public.

It's almost as if the GOP is better when it comes to controlling the narrative in the media. Who would've thought that largely passive and ineffectual democrats would lose in this matchup?  BUSH 2112 posted:Being extremely generous, I can imagine he's talking about people who choose to gently caress their cousins, and then want to get an abortion if they end up with a fetus that has genetic disorders. But, really he's likely just a horrible rear end in a top hat. More states allow cousins of the opposite sex to marry one another than unrelated people of the same sex. Also consider just how many people in the GOP likely grew up as Dukes of Hazzard fans. I'd be amazed if the NSA and other intelligence groups didn't know about Heartbleed. Something like that is a godsend to spy agencies.
