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.
So maybe the objective isn't really about addressing the nursing shortage.
Ya think?! Nurses have been telling us for years why they're leaving ... never once mentioned lack of access to student loans and Accelerated BSN programs. What the industry is actually looking for is an increased supply of insecure new grads to replace the old fahts who actually know - and talk about - the corporate agenda. It's been going on for decades.
"Opus: cult of dark money, human trafficking, and right wing conspiracy inside the Catholic church" by Gareth Gore - a financial investigative reporter.
It's a story of the rise of Opus Dei, an ultra-conservative religious organization founded in Spain and, presumably, very active in the US christian nationalist movement.
I'm very nervous about this book, since I have a LOT of skin in this particular game - and not in a good way. I first read about christian nationalism, aka dominionism, years ago and thought it most likely to be a far-left conspiracy theory. Well - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Google Oklahoma bible in public schools.
Wish me luck.
Yeah, they make me a bit nervous too. I think the most famous member in the US is the spy Robert Hanssen. Secretness is ingrained in their constitution. Creepy or adolescent secret society with passwords come to mind.

It's interesting how half the article, often using the words of the WH and Biden, is fact-checking Myorkis and correcting his falsehood.
Disagree with your assessment. Did you read the August 2024 Disaster Relief Fund: Monthly Report, prepared by FEMA released Sept. 10, 2024 showing deficits as they still have obligations from previous Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma, and Maria; California and Hawaii wildfires--yet alone COVID thru end of September 2024.

October is the start of the federal government's fiscal year, and a stopgap spending measure approved by lawmakers last month replenished the DRF at last year's baseline level of $20 billion. The DRF is often considered the first line of response while FEMA and other agencies assess the damage and needs related to a specific disaster. Once that information is compiled, the president typically sends a formal request to Congress for supplemental appropriations to provide more closely tailored funding and programs for any given response.
Congress has not yet passed supplemental funding for other disasters that occurred earlier in the year, much to the frustration of members in communities recovering from floods, fires and other major events. Even if they had approved the existing funding request, the money would not have been directed to Helene relief since the storm damage happened after Congress left Washington at the end of September.

I wonder if he'll be fired? Nah...
What article did you read? I disagree with your assessment of the cited information.
Do you think it's OK for Trump to, once again, tell the people lies in the midst of an emergency? It seems like you are trying to minimize the impact and importance Trump's divisive and disruptive rhetoric.

This congress has been a real example of the inability of congressional Republicans to govern for we the people. They appear little more than political pieces of Trump's puzzle.

Myorkis said FEMA is out of funding for the rest of hurricane season. Your article says that is not true.
