I'm not sure I would call that a tourist attraction. I don't consider gay people a tourist attraction. I think that's a pretty demeaning term to put on people. "Come to our state, we have gay people and you can take pictures of them or send postcards to your friends!" That's kind of messed up, dudet. I understand what you are saying about gay people going to states that allow gay marriage, which is making my point about voting with your feet when it comes to abortion. I guess you think abortions are a tourist attraction too?

Some people from other states would go to CA to marry while also bringing their money to the economy, it’s not go look at gay people. Just advertise come to NY state, come have your abortion. Spend your money here. Buy a ticket to Maid of the Mist get 10 percent off your abortion. 2

I'm just curious how many abortions the average birthing person gets. Again, serious question.

They were correct in sending her to a hospital. They weren't "refused care" Come now. Urgent Care centers are great places to have surgery... 1 1

B-Man Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 SHE’S NOT BIG ON GIVING THOUGHT: Maybe Justice Sotomayor Hasn’t Given Much Thought to the Historical Lessons of Gun Confiscation in America. Justice Sotomayor is pretty predictable. She walks into oral argument with a set of questions she wants to ask, and she will keep asking them, whether or not she gets the answer she wants. I imagine advocates get frustated, but that is part of the game. During the birthright citizenship cases, Justice Sotomayor asked the same line of questions several times--apparently she thought it was clever. To illustrate the limits of the government's position concerning nationwide injunction, she would change the hypo: what would happen if the government sought to confiscate every gun in America; would every gunowner have to bring an individual law suit to seek relief? https://reason.com/volokh/2025/05/16/does-justice-sotomayor-really-want-to-know-what-the-remedy-would-be-if-the-government-confiscated-everyones-guns/
