In some cases could it not be medical, but financial or other stupid obstacles? Living in a backwards state? Social pressure?

What if easier access helps so much in some cases to abort early instead avoiding it becoming a more unpleasant late term abortion?

I can't imagine someone waiting until the third trimester to end a pregnancy for any other reasons other than something dire.

Really? He must be hardcore to not be looking to exit. I mean being VP to Trump?

I figured he might be holding out for impeachment.

If he had a problem with the things Trump was doing or saying he would never have signed up in the first place.
 
I work in IT and this is an email I got from a supplier of network equipment.

Dear U.S. Customers and Reseller Partners,

In early August 2019, the United States Government announced it will impose a 10% tariff on an additional $300B of goods manufactured in China when imported and sold in the U.S. When this tariff goes into effect, it will impact additional networking products that have not been previously subject to tariffs, including wireless access points and hardware optic products.

When the U.S. Government implements this new tariff, which may occur on September 1, 2019, Extreme will increase its prices on its wireless access points and hardware optics products by 4% effective September 15, 2019. This increase would only apply to sales in the U.S.; orders placed prior to September 15th would not be affected. Should this tariff be delayed, we will also delay the increase until a later day.

That's what he's best at. That being said Antifa has to be called out by the left, the crap they pulled in Portland last time can't be tolerated.

For what they actually are though not what the right want you to think they are. If you start equating them to White Supremacists than you fallen right into their trap.

I'm strictly talking about members beating on people, not about any right wing nonsense but punching old men in the face and attacking a conservative writer is just too much.

I agree that is bad but saying its not terrorism isn't really condoning it. Its just not an area where you can "both sides"
 
Democrats don't need to answer for antifa. Doing so only plays into the other side's hands. Democrats don't need to answer because:

-Antifa are a few misguided people (who came about in response to right wing nationalists)

-Democrats do nothing in their speech to egg anyone towards violence. We don't refer top people as "enemies". We spend hundreds of hours talking about how much we hate Trump, but we're talking about how to prevent him from being elected again or maybe impeached.

-We don't hold political rallies that look like something out of 1930s Germany.

We don't need to answer for them but we do need to condemn their actions when they turn violent and not stay silent, the right can't pin their actions on us if we strongly condemn them when they resort to violence or try to incite it, throwing milkshakes at someone may not hurt them but it's sure trying to escalate the situation to something much worse..

They can and they will
 
Democrats don't even need to state their positions because I know where they stand. We all can debate who would be best, but none of the candidates are doing anything to promote violence. I would have zero issue voting for any one of them when the time comes.
 
A major part of Andrew Yang's message is a warning about automation. Here is an interesting example from UPS already using self driving trucks.

This is how it will start gradually in special niche areas and highways. It'll probably spread across the south first and then north after that when they slowly figure out how to tackle winter.

UPS Has Been Delivering Cargo in Self-Driving Trucks for Months And No One Knew

eu5sxn5wnphavjjmckkr.jpg



The self-driving freight truck startup TuSimple has been carrying mail across the state of Arizona for several weeks.

UPS announced on Thursday that its venture capital arm has made a minority investment in TuSimple. The announcement also revealed that since May TuSimple autonomous trucks have been hauling UPS loads on a 115-mile route between Phoenix and Tucson.



UPS confirmed to Gizmodo this is the first time UPS has announced it has been using TuSimple autonomous trucks to deliver packages in the state.

Around the same time as the UPS and TuSimple program began, the United States Postal Service and TuSimple publicized a two-week pilot program to deliver mail between Phoenix and Dallas, a 1,000 mile trip.

TuSimple claims it can cut the average cost of shipping in a tractor-trailer by 30 percent. In an announcement about the new partnership, UPS Ventures managing partner, Todd Lewis, said the venture arm “collaborates with startups to explore new technologies and tailor them to help meet our specific needs.”

UPS would not share the terms of the deal with Gizmodo. TuSimple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

As the Verge reports, TuSimple puts its own autonomous tech—which relies on nine cameras and two LIDAR sensors—in Navistar vehicles.



The partnership announcement states that TuSimple has been helping UPS understand how to get to Level 4 autonomous driving where a vehicle is fully autonomous and able to reach a particular location. At this point, the TuSimple trucks carrying packages for UPS still have an engineer and a safety driver riding along. When UPS reaches Level 4, it won’t need anyone behind the wheel.
