I heard my first pro-1 ad on the radio this morning. Woman talks about how happy she and her husband were to be pregnant. Then her doctor told her that the baby was very sick and he would have her call a doctor in Utah because he could not even suggest a medically necessary abortion.
This is grossly deceptive, unless they recorded it two years ago. Idaho Code sec. 18-622 prohibits abortion with a few exceptions:
(i) The physician determined, in his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, that the abortion was necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman. No abortion shall be deemed necessary to prevent the death of the pregnant woman because the physician believes that the woman may or will take action to harm herself; and
(ii) The physician performed or attempted to perform the abortion in the manner that, in his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time, provided the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive, unless, in his good faith medical judgment, termination of the pregnancy in that manner would have posed a greater risk of the death of the pregnant woman. No such greater risk shall be deemed to exist because the physician believes that the woman may or will take action to harm herself; or
The next section exempts abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest: if "the woman has reported to a law enforcement agency that she is the victim of an act of rape or incest and provided a copy of such report to the physician who is to perform the abortion."
Notice that a doctor makes this decision based on "his good faith medical judgment and based on the facts known to the physician at the time." Proving that a doctor was operating in bad faith would be quite an obstacle to overcome at trial. I think you would need a statement by the doctor (orally or in writing) that an abortion under these circumstances was a bad idea.
Tony Fauci, a guy who five years ago was a demigod, the toast of society, the unfettered expert of medical science and immunology, has decided to clam up. he invoked his 5th Amendment privilege 111 times today, to include such things as which day of the week it is and the color of his necktie.
Today's hearing seems to have established that Little Tony is nothing more than a narcissistic megalomaniac whose only motivation was fame, fortune and personal glory.
What an insufferable prick.

Midwest Chick (you do read her every day, don't you? Thought so.) posts about how a Professor was smarter than most of his students, catching most of them using AI to cheat on an assignment:
A very clever professor in Mississippi decided to test and see if his students were cheating using AI. So he put some code in his exam instructions using white font that couldn’t be seen by the students, but could be seen by an AI if a copy/paste was used.
Click through for the details (which are hilarious) but even more so for the comments her readers left. My favorite was one from Carl Bussjaeger:
Oh, yes. I should probably mention DuckDuckGo’s AI. When called out on all of its hallucinations, it informed that if I don’t want it to make s–t up when asking strictly factual questions, I have to specifically TELL it not to make s–t up.
Sure you can trust AI. Just tell it not to make s**t up ...
By Dave Workman Embattled Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday announced her plan to combat violent crime plaguing the city in response to the deadly shooting at the Seattle Center’s “Bite of Seattle” event Sunday, and with all of the rhetoric boiled out, it amounts to pursuing more gun control. The Seattle Police are also […]

"Police report the outside temperature at that time was around 98-degrees. Responding officers made contact with the caller, and inspected the truck. One officer could hear heavy panting from within the back of the moving truck and determined the conditions were too dangerous, ultimately deciding to force open the back of the truck."
Moving is hard. But is there anyone that does not get the hazard of this to an animal?

In yesterday's post, I talked about my AC units being mounted high in the wall. Robert asked why they are mounted so high? That was a design choice. I wanted them higher than a person's head, so that no one would knock their noggin walking down the side of the building. Those units are also high enough off the ground to avoid vehicle or mower impacts. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt when we have to change out a unit, but the rest of the time, they are basically out of harm's way.
This morning, Belle told me that she was hungry for catfish, and I happened to have a box of filets in the freezer. Some are thawing mow and we'll have fried catfish for lunch. I saw some little shrimp in the freezer, too. They are destined for hot oil as well.
At 12:57 a.m., a 27-year-old victim of an unspecified gender was in a residence in the 2000 block of North Pulaski Road with a known offender. A quarrel turned physical when the second person pulled a gun. The victim tried to disarm the person with the gun, and the gun fired. The victim was shot in the right finger.

Author’s Introductory Note: Please remember all of my writings are a Gedankenexperiment, not a form of advice, but an extended thought experiment. I can safely conclude that the Republic has likely fallen just before its 250th Birthday. My ancestors were founders of the original Republic and I am one of the small percentage of Heritage Americans left with 97.5 percent of people who reside in the United States having no original colonial Patriot blood flowing in their veins. I do not make this pronouncement lightly or gleefully, but solemnly as my family has for generations warned against the dangers of …

Here’s a great piece by Mark Chesnut at TTAG: Professor John Lott’s realistic take on national concealed carry reciprocity.Pensacola Police Department officials have provided more information regarding a shooting Friday morning.
According to police, the shot was fired in self-defense.
Detectives are working to determine how the shooting began and whether or not charges will be filed.
Police said he was ejected from one portion of the club and then pushed past employees to enter a restricted area. The security guard, described as a man in his early 60s, “engaged in a physical altercation” with him, according to TPD.
The man repeatedly struck the security guard, who then fatally shot him. No arrests have been reported in connection to the shooting.
The Overnighter
- 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey
- .75 oz 22.5 ml Campari
- 1 oz Dry Vermouth
- .25 oz Bénédictine
- Orange wheel for garnish
Combine the liquid ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain over a large ice cube into a rocks glass and garnish with the orange wheel. Some recipes call for a smoked orange wheel, which would undoubtedly add another layer of complexity.
I built my shop during the winter of 2017-18. Before I even poured the slab, I found two air conditioners on sale at Lowe's. Big, 18,000 BTU units that I stored until construction began. When the contractor asked me about cooling, I took out those two AC units and told him to frame around them. He did and that set the physical size of the cooling for the sop. Luckily, the units I bought originally were fairly large.
Last year, one of those units died a gurgling death. I shopped around and found a unit that I could stab into the same hole. Very convenient. We were able to slide the old one out, do a little measuring and decided that the new unit, case and all, would fit in the available hole. Slid that sumbitch in and plugged it to the outlet.
Yesterday, the second original AC unit died. Something came loose and we thought it was going to jump out the wall. We have shut it down. In just a few minutes I am headed to the lumber yard and find another AC unit. The interweb shows that they have the same unit I bought last year, which I know will fit The challenge is that I mounted those units high, 6.5 feet off the ground. I'm going to need a couple of stout fellows to help me lift that thing into the hole.

A beloved California art gallery manager who was writing an illustrated children's book has been stabbed to death in broad daylight.
Rachell Summers, 73, was stabbed 11 times outside Capitola Mall in Santa Cruz County on Monday in what investigators have called a random act of violence.
Tyler Leibelt, 19, has been charged with murder while lying in wait and using a deadly weapon, court records show. He has not entered a plea. ...
Leibelt ran up to Summers outside the mall and stabbed her from behind, the court document said.
Summers was 'stabbed multiple times in her back, defensive stab wounds to her forearms, and stab wounds to her center chest, more than 11 total,' prosecutors alleged in the filing.
The 19-year-old ran into the mall, leaving a trail of the grandmother's blood behind him. Prosecutors say he also discarded a knife....
Leibelt told police that 'he purchased two knives so that he could hold one in each hand as he was killing someone,' the court filing says.
He gestured stabbing with both of his hands during the interview with investigators.
Investigators have found nothing to suggest that Leibelt knew Summers before he targeted her in the deadly attack. It is also unclear why he chose her as his victim.
Leibelt told police that he had been suffering from 'homicidal fantasies for awhile' and claimed he had 'previously disclosed these fantasies but he 'kept getting let out' of custody,' according to the filing.
Prosecutors noted that a gun violence restraining order was issued against the alleged killer in November last year.
He allegedly told sheriff's deputies during that incident that he 'expressed a desire to cause a mass casualty event,' the court document said.
He also allegedly 'wrote a goodbye letter expressing a desire to kill as many people as possible.' [emphasis added]
Gun violence restraining orders make us so safe--from gun violence. Those other methods for murdering people are so much nicer.
Released from custody. Police should have requested an involuntary commitment order until California Welfare and Institutions Code sec. 5250.
