Biden to Dobbs critics: “Keep protesting. Keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women. In the meantime, fundamentally, the only way to change this is to have a national law that reinstates Roe v Wade.” (WH pool)

Under the law, no matter where you live, women have the right to emergency care — including abortion care. In no uncertain terms, HHS will enforce this. pic.twitter.com/anf9KdySYP

This decision will save lives. So grateful for @POTUS's leadership.
And so what if somebody sues - OF COURSE somebody will sue, and it will go all the way to SCOTUS because that's the chaos that the Court should have realized it would instigate when it made its awful decision.Biden administration says hospitals must provide abortions in emergencies: The Biden administration on Monday said federal law allows women access to abortion in emergency situations, even in states that recently banned the procedure. via NBCNews https://t.co/IlBEPM6P2Q

Harder now for CEOs to treat red-state social policy as a sideshow
“I’ve spoken to C.E.O.s who are rethinking those states,” says @SecRaimondohttps://t.co/SaNi8Epe04
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe is beginning to effect college enrollement in red states, as more and more female students are rethinking their applications in states that block their right to abortion.

Texas is threatening employers with $100K fines if they assist employees in seeking out-of-state reproductive health care. I'm sure that they and the other red states will do everything possible to ensure forced births or penalize Women seeking this care.

1/ Today the New York Times published a report by @ktbenner and @GlennThrush that offers a rare peek behind the curtain at DOJ and how they have investigated the January 6th attack.
— Renato Mariotti (@renato_mariotti) July 12, 2022
It's full of revelations and worth a read. https://t.co/yQWoBloUOC
How is this possible?

I’ve defended DOJ and the FBI for a long time about January 6th. But it’s time for Congress to start asking questions. pic.twitter.com/UmoE1q4Ggb
This is what we’d feared. Some without trial advocacy or investigative experience told us not to worry, and we worried anyway because we could see none of the necessary investigative or trial-prep steps were being taken. And what do you know—the experts were right, DOJ is a mess. https://t.co/QPmv3Az36l

The excellent New York Times story today about DOJ's slow walk of J-6 investigation has rightfully received a lot of attention. But @AdamSchiff has been brave and out front telling us that he has seen no evidence of a DOJ into Trump himself for almost a year. This is 2 weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/WSkPWTUgc2
— Don Winslow (@donwinslow) July 12, 2022
The thing about Trump barnstorming around the country while the DOJ decides if he's liable for January 6th is he's inciting the next one in that interim. It's like deciding whether to charge him for shooting a guy on 5th Avenue as he's pulling out another gun.

Since nobody else wants to say it, it may get as well be me. Know who I trusted most during Covid? The government. Specifically the Horgan Government in BC and the Trudeau Government in Ottawa. I knew that they were serious about the necessary new rules and distributing vaccines

In breaking news, the Texas power grid is failing again, as temperatures soar:The public sector got us through two years of pandemic, vaccinated everyone who wanted one, and kept several million Canadian households from going bankrupt. But the commentariat has declared Canada broken because they have to wait for their passports?

That sound about right?
This guy!If guns needed to be refrigerated, the Texas power grid would never fail.

Hi! I'm a sound editor for film and TV. It's my job to turn the volume waaay down when people are talking and then crank it hard when things are exploding and clangin' around. I hope you've been enjoying my work :)

Catholic hospitals in the US have ignored EMTALA on abortion since the law was passed in 1986. If the only hospital in your area is a Catholic one, or if it's the only one your HMO covers, or if it's the one the ambulance takes you to, you're going to be SOL. There will never be a situation so emergent that they'll perform an abortion. It's like Ireland before they amended the constitution.
What makes people think this memo from HHS will change a situation they've ignored for almost four decades?
Cap
Yes, but its better than doing nothing. It is important for doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc to see that the federal government has their backs and would be, I hope, willing to support them in a dispute with a hospital director. I don't know if health professionals saw this before.
