You should report the situation to your local election board.

Yeah that's absurd. Last time I voted by mail there were clearly identified election officials there to assist and make sure things were in order if people had questions - not some rando just asking to see my vote.

Went to do early voting last week in person and there were people outside the office asking everyone questions as they came in. Made my wife and I very uncomfortable. They had shirts with the old USSR logo on them. Weird bunch.

So you mailed your vote in, claimed you’re just not voting for reasons that change by the day, and are now claiming intimidation by Antifa when you went to vote early.
The agitators on this sub aren’t even trying anymore.

Wow. So you voted for the party that wants to lock up women and you voted for the man that murdered 300 animals without Mercy aren't you just a wonderful citizen LOL so you voted for a murderer it doesn't say much about you does it

Oz didn’t personally kill the puppies. He was PI overseeing the experiments. It sounds bad but…
Every product you use is first tested on animals, like it or not. For every story you hear about these inhumane experiments, there are hundreds or thousands of experiments that aren’t publicized.

This is normal. News organizations like to get a poll of voters to have ‘predictions” and sensationalize who is going to win.
These days, more fringe groups are showing up with differing motives.

So, the extremely rich governor who...
- Instituted unscientific lockdowns of most businesses while allowing elective abortion clinics, Target, Wall Mart, and large businesses to stay open....
- Who along with Dr. Levine forced ill equipped nursing homes to take Covid-19 positive patients from hospitals....
- Who is on record stating they will go against court orders regarding mail in ballots...
Can be trusted to protect our elections?

You're right he should do nothing. That way when Republicans lose they can cry about how it's all fraud because there was no security and antifa was stuffing ballot boxes full of mules or some such.
pmabraham t1_iudlxa5 wrote
He should obey the court order regarding mail in ballots! Start there and prove that he's a person of integrity which would be a change for him.
HonBurgher t1_iudw6fq wrote
The "court order" I think you're referring to undid the Third Circuit's ruling that said to count mail-in ballots that were only lacking a handwritten date. The U.S. Supreme Court didn't say the Third Circuit was wrong, but that the appeal had been moot because the candidate challenging the practice had conceded their election and had nothing left to be fighting for. So the federal appeals court ruling that said those ballots should count was tossed out on a technicality, returning things to the status that had existed beforehand (which is to say, people were disagreeing over whether missing dates were reason to throw out ballots).
But there had been another state court ruling that independently said to count undated ballots, so state elections officials said to keep following that order until told otherwise -- which the state Supreme Court is considering now.

HonBurgher t1_iuf337r wrote
From the very Law360 article you’re citing:
> Ari Savitzky of the American Civil Liberties Union, who represents Lehigh County voters, told Law360 that the high court's vacating of the Third Circuit's ruling was done on "purely procedural grounds."
"As for November, it remains clear that, under state law and federal law, timely mail ballots where a voter merely forgets to handwrite an inconsequential date on the outer envelope must be counted," Savitzky said in an email. "Nothing about today's procedural decision changes that."
The RNC has since asked the state Supreme Court to weigh in on the issue, since the US Supreme Court and the lower state court rulings still left room for doubt in their minds.
The US Supreme Court ruling was not as cut-and-dry as some partisan sources are making it out to be, and the state believes it has its orders from the lower court.
Super_C_Complex t1_iuhbcyb wrote
So, honest question.
What's the concern with an undated ballot when the date fun the USPS is gonna be more accurate anyways?
I would think that would be more secure than any hand when date given the number of times landlords tried screwing me with fake dates
pmabraham t1_iuhbqss wrote
If there was not proof of significant ballot harvesting over the past several years, there would be no concern.

Super_C_Complex t1_iuhc4kt wrote
So the concern is dropped off ballots then. I understand.
I disagree that it is a concern or that there is a significant amount of voter fraud that occurs that way, or that having a hand written date would be any sort of barrier to that, but I understand.
Thank you for your response.

Abortion clinics aren’t elective, anymore than your primary care physician.
pmabraham t1_iueom3w wrote
Yes, they are elective services since it is extremely rare a woman needs an abortion to save her life. And since ALL medically induced abortions kills another human being on purpose, it does matter.
Tina_Las_Vegas t1_iuf00gi wrote
~15% is not extremely rare…which is the stat of women who have abortions for health issues. Whether it be their own health or the health of the fetus.
Also it’s none of your god damn business
pmabraham t1_iufd4i5 wrote
https://www.health.pa.gov/topics/HealthStatistics/VitalStatistics/Documents/Pennsylvania_Annual_Abortion_Report_2020.pdf ---> 32,123 abortions of which per the state document, ONLY 162 are classified as "Pre-existing Medical Conditions Which Would Complicate Pregnancy" (which doesn't give the % of risk). 162 / 32123 = 0.5% were for the mother's health. Next time, please try not to lie when there are reports to verify the truth.

I was talking nationally not in a state level and I was confusing the stat. An abortion ban could increase maternal fatality over 20%

pmabraham t1_iufgsh5 wrote
Incorrect. Each state department of health publishes it's own data. I presented Pennsylvania's data. It mirrors the NATOINAL level of less than 1% of all abortions done for the "mother's health." What if studies don't count over reality of what is actually happening.
Tina_Las_Vegas t1_iufi6f1 wrote
Pre-existing conditions are not the only thing that would require a medically necessary abortion. A condition that pregnancy brought on, a miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, or a required hysterectomy(an additional stat in the report you attached) would also be medically necessary reasons and obviously not considered in the 162 figure you are using. Additionally any situation where the fetus has already been determined to be not viable would not be pre-existing and would be medically necessary for the health of the mother.
pmabraham t1_iufncqf wrote
The removal of a non-viable fetus (i.e. one that IS NOT alive) is not an abortion procedure. A medically induced abortion kills a living unborn baby.
Tina_Las_Vegas t1_iug5aaq wrote
Actually yes it is. This article also reminded me that an ectopic pregnancy is another example of something that is not a pre-existing condition that would require an abortion for the life of the mother.
“Medical providers often refer to miscarriages as spontaneous abortions, or by its subcategories including missed, incomplete and inevitable abortions (see Glossary).”

Keinichn t1_iuj31me wrote
You realize that the Bible doesn't even consider a fetus to be a person and that there's even passages for a priest-led miscarriage/abortion ritual, right? Please stop using that stupid book as justification for shit when it directly contradicts the things you're trying to justify.
EDIT: Numbers 5:11-31 (Priest led fidelity test. Woman miscarries if she was unfaithful). Exodus 21:22-25 (punishment for causing a miscarriage due to hitting a pregnant woman. Causing miscarriage = fined. Killing the woman = death. Fetus is not treated as a person). Several other verses imply a being is not living until it has taken its first breath, which a fetus in the womb cannot do.
According to your very own holy book, abortion isn't murder because the fetus isn't a person until they're born and breathe. If you think differently, that's fine, but just remember your own religious text doesn't back you up on that view.

No, all abortions are necessary abortions. It’s healthcare.
pmabraham t1_iufcv7f wrote
Killing is not healthcare. Medical science confirms human life starts at conception, and medical science confirms reproduction ends at conception. Medically induced abortion is not healthcare or reproductive care (reproduction is already finished PRIOR to any medically induced abortion).
AmberWaves80 t1_iufiocd wrote
Sorry homie, abortion is healthcare, even if you don’t want to believe it.
pmabraham t1_iufn6r1 wrote
I work in healthcare, BSN, RN so I know what healthcare is and is not. The purposeful killing of innocent and defenseless babies IS NOT healthcare. And if you go to the PA department of health website, you can find a document showing that ONLY 0.5% (less than 1%) of women get medically induced abortions for health risks.
AmberWaves80 t1_iufo6yd wrote
The good news is that I can have an abortion if I need one because it is healthcare. If I don’t want to carry a parasite for 9 months that could literally kill me, and that cannot survive outside of me, I don’t have to. Hopefully I will never have the misfortune of having you as a nurse. Since you obviously know zero about the field you have a degree in.

AmberWaves80 t1_iuhfb8x wrote
Yes, a fetus is a parasite. As someone pointed out in the above comment. Literal parasites who leech the calcium from your body, messing up teeth, and bones. Make you puke your guts out. Give you high BP and/or diabetes. Could kill you on the way out (and far more likely to happen in the US than any other industrialized nation). They can’t live outside of their parent. Yep, parasite.

The word embryo, zygote and fetus or stages of development of an unborn baby. You do not go from a parasite to a human being when she goes to the magical birth canal unless you're a Democrat.

We get it. You’re a nurse who doesn’t believe that your patients have a right to decide what happens to their bodies.

Meanwhile the exact definition of a parasite is what a fetus is.
