The abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.

Ah, yes. "My A1c has been elevated for years, but I feel good today and insulin's expensive, so let's stop testing while we wait and see.”
I didn't have the motivation to remind him of the discussion we had last year about new child labor laws in the USA and the abuses of the current laws. Are Trump voters so caught up in worrying about transgender mice and scary liberal bureaucrats that they have no time for current events?
Doesn't make sense but they aren't offering a reason. It also doesn't say they have to bring their newborns there immediately after birth. Most likely they can wait.
I can't remember when I got a SSI number but I was already school age, maybe past ten and didn't need it until I got my first job.
Edit, In diving deeper apparently some health insurance policies require it, so I guess that's why they get it so young. The SSI's website is saying they've made it easy by allowing parents to register in the hospital. So it's a Maine thing, but they aren't saying why,
I'm going to gently push back on this, for a couple of reasons. According to the SSA page, infants may need a SSN to get insurance. Newborns need frequent well child checks, as well as f/u for any perinatal issues, like hyperbilirubinemia. Insurance is a near must.
Also, newborns are generally kept away from crowds to reduce contracting infections, especially ones they may be too young to be immunized for. Nearly 30% of births are via c-section, so moms who have undergone abdominal surgery could be traveling and driving is discouraged. Maine is a mostly rural state, so traveling could entail several hours.
Lastly, as someone who has had 3 babies, new mums are sore, exhausted from lack of sleep, breastfeeding frequently, not to mention frequent loose, dirty diapers to deal with. And if you already have another child, traveling to a SSA office sounds like a stupid idea.
Trump Golf Weekends' Cost To Taxpayers Hits $18.2 Million
Quote
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's insistence on playing golf at his Florida courses has now cost American taxpayers more than $18 million since he regained the presidency, setting him on a pace to exceed the $151.5 million he spent in his first term, according to a HuffPost analysis.
On Saturday, Trump is playing golf for the 13th day of his 48 in office. It was his 10th day playing at his course in West Palm Beach, across the Intracoastal Waterway from his Mar-a-Lago country club home and adjacent to the Palm Beach County Jail.

According to a 2019 Government Accountability Office report examining the first four trips Trump took to Mar-a-Lago during his first administration, each one costs $3,383,250 — a sum based on 2017 dollars that is likely higher now.
The firing/ rehiring is ridiculous, concept of DOGE is brilliant but implementation rocky at times and will get bette, and at least I know who the unelected beaurocrat is as to opposed to most of the others who have made decisions that impact my life.
It's not getting any better. We still have no transparency re: proof of fraud or overpadding of staff. The German in me makes me scream for efficiency, but we need to base that on trial and error in small experiments before taking that huge penile chain saw and wave it in the air jumping up and down. BTW, I got a chain saw for my birthday one year and I have shopped for chain saws but that was the biggest penis...er, chainsaw that I've ever seen.

I am wondering why Trump supporters are so easily convinced that Musk is looking for fraud and waste when the available evidence doesn't support that claim or belief at all. Is it fair to simply write it off as indoctrination?

Thanks for the explanation about insurance. The idea that it's not a good idea to present a newborn into a crowd of people is something I already knew. Is this state saying the child must present after birth in person in an SSI office? It's not clear. Anyway, like I said, it doesn't make sense.

It doesn't say why specifically Maine parents were directed to register at federal offices. My guess is one more chainsaw cut that had to be hastily cleaned up.
You know, like nuclear workers or air traffic controllers.
"A Yale University team led by a top immunologist has found that some people who received the Covid vaccines have damage to their immune systems, as well as high and rising levels of spike protein in their blood. The researchers released the findings Wednesday in a "preprint" and hope to publish it soon in a peer-reviewed journal."
