Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, so I am going into the hospital Monday. Glad that's cleared up. Not at all last minute.

We need to whitefont the specific show discussion of Parenthood since this is non-NAFDA natter.

Thrive to spite them

Great, now Florida is trying to pass a law similiar to Oklahoma's. Well this one is "nicer" because it will allow women to opt out of actually seeing the ultrasound if they sign a waiver. They still have to hear a description.

I have to stay away from the online comments there are a bunch of people trying to justify this as "informed consent".

Here's a stupid logistical question about laws like that. Who is paying for the ultrasound?

I just made homemade wontons (with wrappers from a package) and they are so easy and good! Why did we never try this before?

I have no idea. This measure was tacked on to something else so it looks like it has a chance to pass. I hope not.

I think I read somewhere that the OK law requires the woman to pay for her own ultrasound.

I don't know, but feel free to bring some samples out here in a few weeks.

That shit is whack. Well, the whole thing is of course, but, what if you can't? They aren't cheap.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Here's a stupid logistical question about laws like that. Who is paying for the ultrasound?

I'm pretty sure the ultrasound is already a mandatory part of the procedure so the doctor knows gestational age and position. It's the "makin' ya look at it" that's new.
