I am dusting off an old commentary (A Woman’s Right to Safe Healthcare Outcomes) from 2019 after reading about a young woman who died after visiting three different emergency rooms. Everyone delayed. Everyone thought of their liability. And every one watched her slowly die as they made their decision. Healthcare for women and maternal mortality is an […]
It has been a bit since I have said anything about the Opioid epidemic. Such was brought on by companies and distributors (more like PBMs) claiming it was harmless and non-addicting. I do want to catch up and see how the Sacklers made out. Whether the Gov finally put the screws to them or did […]
Or is it even a decision the United States should be making for a woman? People keep popping up on AB threads talking about such when it is not a topic of the thread. Rules; Polite discussions or faced being trashed or tossed in spam. Be on topic. I will take down the post if […]
If this was Mr. Main Street Citizen, this would have played out differently. Musk can play the court games because he can afford to do so. Hope Trump loses and takes Musk with him. I wonder who will be funding Trump in court? Musk Gets Tossed Back to PA State Court In Lottery Case, Just […]

There is considerable doubt about Richard Glossip’s guilt for a brutal 1997 murder in Oklahoma City, for which he has twice been sentenced to death. It also appears unquestionable that he has never gotten a fair trial. Glossip’s case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court, where his fate may actually be determined by the incoherence of the court’s recusal […]
The issue here? A Woman’s right to decide for herself what care she needs without threats of legal action or hindrance to healthcare. As can be seen in the first map, Illinois is centrally located amongst many states which ban or time-limit getting an abortion. Hence many patients go to Illinois as it is closer […]
