“Ultimately, I believe that we should provide equal protection under the law for all unborn children,” Fairchild said. “I believe that science proves that life begins at conception, and the government has a responsibility to protect that life from conception until natural death.”

Oh, wow. That's quite a stand for a Republican. Obviously this means he supports extended pregnancy and parental leave and socialized healthcare and universal basic income and all that stuff, right? I mean, if the government has a responsibility to "protect" life from "conception until natural death," that's a big change from how we currently operate.

Let's see what else he's been up to in his 3 years in the Kansas legislature...

Hmm. That doesn't seem like it's super concerned with protecting life. What else?

That's kind of odd. I mean, if you're going to disallow certain types of medicine that have years of evidence of their effectiveness, sponsoring a bill to make sure drugs that don't have that evidence are more widely available certainly is A Choice.

Ultimately, of the 19 bills and resolutions he's signed on to sponsor, four of them have been anti-abortion actions. The rest are spread out across topics, though two of the four non-abortion resolutions are about legislative term limits (the other two are recognizing a Teacher of the Year and condemning the Oct 7th attacks).

I don't know why I bothered to begin doing this. We all know they don't care that they are hypocrites. I guess something about the ridiculousness of his statement combined with the GOP take on pretty much anything inspired me.

However, I did run across this in a bill that became law over Gov. Kelly's veto and just...what?

This is an ultrasound of a fetus at 9 weeks

There is zero chance of this fetus being born alive.

This is a 12 week ultrasound:

Again, this fetus is not going to survive birth. (Ultrasound images from here)

Fetal viability is a complex topic that I'm not going to go into, except to say that experts place the earliest viable gestation age around 22-24 weeks and, according to that Wikipedia article linked right there, the "lowest gestational age newborn to survive...was born on 5 July 2020 in the United States, at 21 weeks and 1 day gestational age, weighing 420 grams." So what the fuck are they even doing with that reporting requirement? I mean, we know what they are doing, but still. wtf.

For the sake of preservation, I DO have to post this here, too.

Miguel has this ultrasound pic in his wallet xxx

Ngl I feel like a/llan would bring up Dr. monster again but for his ultrasound 😭

Dr Monster would for SURE be his go to OB! Like to think they're a jack of all trades, including general health care and parental resources (possibly even dentistry, who knows >.>) so it's a one stop shop basically🤣

Also, as he'd be way too curious (*cough*IMPATIENT*cough*) to wait, the gender reveal appointment would be booked ASAP!

And this just in....

Turns out it's a girl💖🎉

Angel: So, I finally got an ultrasound, got a general check-up on a baby, heartbeats good, measuring on time, blah-blah. But of course, shit can't go smoothly when you're me

Angel: Turns out there’s not a baby.

“And, remember, if you accidentally press something you didn’t mean to, or are completely lost, the panic button is the 2D mode.”

About ultrasound.

As someone who has been going to a cardiologist their entire life I never really comprehended that being hooked up to an ekg might be a scary experience for most people until now

things I love to see when I’m home alone at night…

[ID: Five copies of the same photo showing a doorway leading from a brightly lit kitchen to a dark entry hall. At the top of the doorway, the shape of a paper cut out of an alien head is just barely visible staring at the camera. Each photo zooms in closer to the alien face, until its black and empty eyes are the only thing that’s visible. End ID]

There's a sign in the ultrasound room about not taking pictures of the ultrasound, followed by informing people who are there for Baby Related Ultrasound that they will get a Keepsake Image. I hadn't even considered that people were doing that, but in this age of cameras everywhere I wasn't surprised. I just thought it was understood that they would print a picture from the baby ultrasounds. I mean, they do it on tv.

But I was sitting there, not even slightly there for Baby Reasons, thinking "How rude. What if *I* want a keepsake image of what the inside of my body looks like?"

well friends I have officially joined the Chronic Pain Club, it’s not great to be here, there’s a chance it’s only temporary but my gut says ‘hmm many doubts’ and I won’t really know for a couple of weeks anyway until my doctors appointment. So. Been navigating that for four days and well we’re navigating at least
