If 3 patrol cars speed through town with lights flashing and sirens blaring anytime anyone needs a manager's phone number, that's even worse, sheriff.

Over a freaking whopper! This was totally an abuse of power. I'd love to see what happened to make the employees feel so unsafe that they'd lock the doors.

Stalking. It was a typo.

That is a rough looking 31. He could easily pass for 5 to 10 years older.

I'm happy they got him and can't wait for him to be held accountable.

I hope she sticks it out. It's so amusing to see Trump lose his shit over this, and to see the party leader bow down to him.

Keep on going, Nikki.

This vainglorious, fragile, lying and blasphemous joke of a human being is "going too far", in the words of a guy I saw today. However, he's still "on the Trump Train" and will be voting Trump in Nov.

There truly is none so blind as those who will not see.

Her lawyer, Traci Timko, said Watts sat for eight hours at Mercy Health-St. Joseph's awaiting care on the eve of her pregnancy reaching 22 weeks, before leaving without being treated.

Timko said hospital officials were deliberating over the legalities.

I've got my grandbabies here so I don't have the time to do a big search, but this article quotes her lawyer's statement that at least one visit in which she left AMA, she waited EIGHT hours for help, which she did not receive. (See first quote) I've read another article which I can try to find after the holidays which explained that in her two visits prior to the miscarriage, she was never admitted. She went to the hospital, explained what was going on, received one examination but was NOT admitted. She left after failing to be admitted, which was considered AMA. I'm sure they'd have liked her to sit there another day or two while they continued to fail to admit her, while deliberating over legalities. (See second sentence in the quote)

Have you read any holy books? They're filled with god-ordained killings.

My dad died in his late 80s of Parkinson's. For at least a decade before his diagnosis he'd tell me that everyday when he woke up, he'd lost another piece of himself. He went from an active man in his early to mid 70s--he rode his bike 25 miles a day and weight lifted--to a shadow of himself very quickly.

It was tough to watch, and so much tougher for him facing loss after loss of his abilities. He spoke several times of "releasing" himself, but ultimately decided not to do it.

We are living longer, but that isn't always to our benefit.

I mean, it's in the article. This pregnancy, which will not survive, has a significant chance of destroying any chance that she can ever carry another pregnancy if allowed to come to term.

To preserve her ability to carry another healthy pregnancy to term, this one must be terminated.

Doctors do things every day to prevent serious harm later and this should not be a situation that demands a woman and her doctor to freaking BEG a judge for permission to be able to follow the medical recommendation.

We need to quit judging women on their looks. Judge her on her policies.

In other news: see what happens after every devastating hurricane. Anyone else remember Katrina?

But whose responsibility is it to monitor their internet access? Mom and Dad need to step up and actually parent their children!
