Any government intrusion is excessive when it approaches a party shibboleth - but no government intrusion is excessive enough when it restricts the opposition shibboleth.

 
"Shiboleth" what a wonderful word.
I had never heard the word until I heard it on The West Wing, about a decade ago. They took pains to explain its meaning in an entertaining way. Since then, I've used the word once, and have seen it in print or heard  it not at all.

My boss got money from the PPP program...much less than 2.6 million. She kept her number of employees the same over the last two years, which was sort of the point of PPP. She has most of it left as she is very financially savvy and used income to cover payroll except for a small percentage of what she received. She has hung onto every cent she can in case things go bad again. Now she is months into the process of trying to work with the government to see what she has to pay back, how, and when. To add to the nightmare, the bank we use was part of a merger in October so she is having to work with all new people. We have submitted the same paperwork, tax forms, employment records, and everything but our first borns many times over and are making little headway.

It makes me happy to see these thieves get their due.

"Why don't the safe haven laws take care of that problem?"

Do safe haven laws make you unpregnant? No, they don't you stupid bitch and yes being pregnant against your will is an unnecessary burden. 

It doesn't mean that pregnancy and parenthood were part of the same burden.

Yes, they are part of the same burden and even they weren't they burdens are related enough for it not to matter.  

 There is without question an infringement on bodily autonomy, for which we have another context like vaccines.

Those aren't the same thing. One is a question of public health the other is a question purely of bodily autonomy. I have the right to decide if another entity gets to live inside me. I don't have the right to spread deadly diseases to other people because I'm a selfish asshole 

How did this ignorant moron ever get a law license?
