Crash Course: Trump judge's actual argument for abortion bans: Doctors are harmed without cute sonograms

Judge James Ho argues women must be forced into pregnancy so others can "cheer at the sight of an unborn child" [View in browser](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZ3I4cXhzdHdrbC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWxXA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) Your daily update from [Salon](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdGI2eG1tYnZ1aC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). Trump judge's actual argument for abortion bans: Doctors are harmed without cute sonograms From Amanda Marcotte: As is typical with grievance-mongering from MAGA types, trying to figure out what they're mad about is a headache. But I'll try to explain. Ho is bitter that [groups like the Sierra Club have](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvcHNlNjNreDdpdi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWxXA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo), in the past, [sued to stop development on ecologically valuable](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvbXN3cG1yczhzdy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWxXA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) lands by arguing that the public has an interest in preserving nature. Basically, if a corporation wants to bulldoze the habitat of some endangered bird, environmentalists will get bird-watchers to join the lawsuit, arguing they will lose out if the birds are killed off. Ho thinks this is stupid. To the right, making a quick buck will always trump supposedly petty interests like preserving nature. So he's shotgunning his loathing of tree-hugging hippies into this abortion debate. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvNmlwa2ZvMnI0YS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). Our collective malady: Donald Trump's mental health crisis is America's problem From Chauncey DeVega: Trump has shown a wide range of pathological behavior over the past seven years or so. He has an unhealthy fascination with violence. He lacks impulse control and empathy. He revels in cruelty. He compulsively lies and exhibits traits of malignant narcissism. He is a confirmed sexual predator and misogynist. He has a tenuous relationship to reality, and increasingly retreats into victimology and a persecution complex. He believes himself to be almost literally superhuman and often behaves like a cult leader. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZjV2ZjlqYzdhMy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg: Fight me, cowards From Rae Hodge: You're probably starting to realize nobody actually cares about whether two billionaires in overpriced athletic gear awkwardly paw at each other on the floor of an arena like a couple of confused virgins in the backseat of a Honda Accord. And, to be fair, watching grown white men of the American ruling class thump their chests and beg for applause — in a match that's sure to be as thrilling as a yellow-belt demonstration by suburban private-school kids — isn't normally how I like to spend my weekend. But I'm willing to make an exception for a good cause. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRmwdRAP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvNDF4ODRnMmU1Zi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTk2d245aWNsYWwmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZNtBT99kmLVbTVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
