Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant

Is this like the Bizarro version of the virgin birth?

A virgin birth in one reality results from a non-pregnant abortion in another reality.

So women who are considering becoming pregnant should probably consult with an HVAC specialist to make sure their climate control is working. I mean, if your AC is stuck on, the fetus could end up frozen solid.

The first thing I always recommend to women who are having trouble conceiving is to check that the filter is clean.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I bet he is referring to D&C being a procedure used for more than abortions, but he lumps all D&Cs into abortions. He's a tool and clearly does not know enough about anything to speak publically.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I doubt he'd pass the screening test to be a contestant on Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?

I would guess that maybe he means that abortion providers dupe women into getting abortions when they aren't even pregnant so they can make money. That's about the best I can figure.

Always Anti-fascist!

To be fair, that probably *is* how somebody made him. That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo.

Nah, he's probably referring to non-abortion D&Cs, like msbelle said. And he's assuming (or deliberately conflating) that because D&Cs can be for abortion, then clearly every D&C ever is always an abortion, even if the woman isn't pregnant.

This man is seriously too stupid to be alive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I call ING (who holds my mortgage) to ask for payoff information. LIke how much will I owe on my mortgage on the 30th when the house sale is supposed to close.

They will not give me that information. They said they need to research transfer fees and all that. I told them: "I don't care about transfer fees, I just want to know how much I will owe on the mortgage proper."

They said they also don't generate the report unless it is to the title company handling the close. "But I'm the one who is financially responsible for the mortgage."

He said they could generate a report for me if I would like, but it would be $10 because they have to research the transfer fees.

"But I don't care about the transfer fees, I just want to know the mortgage balance."

I hung up.

Here's the thing: I can run excel amortization tables if I want to ballpark how much I will owe, but previous banks have just given me a report of payoff information when requested.

The thing that gets me about Akin is that he is on the Science & Technology Committee. If he wins reelection, can he at least be ejected from that committee?
