This morning:

Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA @DLHoskins
Please pray for the victims and their families.
[….]
8:44 AM · May 25, 2022

Some of the responses:

Faith without works is dead.

Praying doesn’t seem to work, maybe we should try something else.

Please do something to prevent this from happening again. You weren’t elected for your ability to pray, you were elected to pass laws.

Your prayers mean absolutely NOTHING!!! You are a disgrace!

Prayers do not stop bullets common sense gun laws would be a fresh approach. Your pro birth but post birth children are collateral damage it’s GUNS no matter how many children die
[….]

This is what Dennys answer is to school shootings. 212 mass shootings in our country so far this yr, when will it happen in Mo.? Blame the elected officials who get rich off the NRA to pass laws that favor GUNS over your child’s life.
[….]

No outrage only prayers that don’t stop bullets
[….]

You passed #SAPA which was opposed by law enforcement and would prevent federal authorities from helping when (not if) there’s a school shooting in Missouri. You’ve made it easier to buy guns.

You don’t care about any of these people. Spare is your false prayers.

Log off, Denny.

#moleg

Obviously we’ve been praying for over 20 years. It doesn’t seem to be working because it keeps happening and you all are complicit and choose unfettered access to guns over living, breathing human beings. So you too can STFU.

This you?

Last night:

Remarks by President Biden on the School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas
MAY 24, 2022

[….]
Roosevelt Room
8:41 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening, fellow Americans.

I had hoped, when I became President, I would not have to do this again.

Another massacre. Uvalde, Texas. An elementary school. Beautiful, innocent second, third, fourth graders. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened see their friends die as if they’re on a battlefield, for God’s sake. They’ll live with it the rest of their lives.

There’s a lot we don’t know yet, but there’s a lot we do know.

There are parents who will never see their child again, never have them jump in bed and cuddle with them. Parents who will never be the same.

To lose a child is like having a piece of your soul ripped away. There’s a hollowness in your chest, and you feel like you’re being sucked into it and never going to be able to get out. It’s suffocating. And it’s never quite the same.

And it’s a feeling shared by the siblings, and the grandparents, and their family members, and the community that’s left behind.

Scripture says — Jill and I have talked about this in different contexts, in other contexts: “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” So many crushed spirits.

So, tonight, I ask the nation to pray for them, to give the parents and siblings the strength in the darkness they feel right now.

As a nation, we have to ask: When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby? When in God’s name will we do what we all know in our gut needs to be done?

It’s been 340- — 3,448 days — 10 years since I stood up at a high school in Connecticut — a grade school in Connecticut, where another gunman massacred 26 people, including 20 first graders, at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Since then, there have been over 900 incidents of gunfires reported on school grounds.

Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Santa Fe High School in Texas. Oxford High School in Michigan. The list goes on and on.

And the list grows when it includes mass shootings at places like movie theaters, houses of worship, and, as we saw just 10 days ago, at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.

I am sick and tired of it. We have to act. And don’t tell me we can’t have an impact on this carnage.

I spent my career as a senator and as Vice President working to pass commonsense gun laws. We can’t and won’t prevent every tragedy. But we know they work and have a positive impact. When we passed the assault weapons ban, mass shootings went down. When the law expired, mass shootings tripled.

The idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong.

What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

Deer aren’t running through the forest with Kevlar vests on, for God’s sake. It’s just sick.

And the gun manufacturers have spent two decades aggressively marketing assault weapons which make them the most and largest profit.

For God’s sake, we have to have the courage to stand up to the industry.

Here’s what else I know: Most Americans support commonsense laws — commonsense gun laws.

I just got off my trip from Asia, meeting with Asian leaders, and I learned of this while I was on the aircraft. And what struck me on that 17-hour flight — what struck me was these kinds of mass shootings rarely happen anywhere else in the world.

Why? They have mental health problems. They have domestic disputes in other countries. They have people who are lost. But these kinds of mass shootings never happen with the kind of frequency that they happen in America. Why?

Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it and stand up to the lobbies?

It’s time to turn this pain into action.

For every parent, for every citizen in this country, we have to make it clear to every elected official in this country: It’s time to act.

It’s time — for those who obstruct or delay or block the commonsense gun laws, we need to let you know that we will not forget.

We can do so much more. We have to do more.

Our prayer tonight is for those parents, lying in bed and trying to figure out, “Will I be able to sleep again? What do I say to my other children? What happens tomorrow?”

May God bless the loss of innocent life on this sad day. And may the Lord be near the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit, because they’re going to need a lot of help and a lot of our prayers.

God love you.

Last night:

Remarks by Vice President Harris at the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies 28th Annual Awards
MAY 24, 2022
[….]

7:06 P.M. EDT
THE VICE PRESIDENT: [….]

Tonight is a rough night. We planned for a great celebration, but I’m sure most of you have heard the tragic news about what has happened in Texas.

So I had prepared comments about tonight, which I will speak, but I just first want to begin by saying a few words about the tragedy that occurred today in Uvalde, Texas.

As many of you now, the reports are that there was a mass shooting at an elementary school, and the preliminary reports are that 14 children have been killed. And the details are still coming in, and of course the President and I are monitoring the situation closely.

So while we don’t know all the details yet, we do know that there are parents who have lost children, families that have lost children and their loves ones, of course, and many others who may have been injured.

So, I would normally say in a moment like this — we would all say naturally — that our hearts break, but our hearts keep getting broken.

You know, I think so many — there’s so many elected leaders in this room. You know what I’m talking about. Every time a tragedy like this happens, our hearts break, and our broken hearts are nothing compared to the broken hearts of those families. And yet, it keeps happening.

So, I think we all know and have said many times with each other: Enough is enough. Enough is enough.

As a nation, we have to have the courage to take action and understand the nexus between what make for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensure something like this never happens again.

So, the President will speak more about this later. But for now, I will just say to the people of Uvalde: Please know that this is a room full of leaders who grieve with you. And we are praying for you, and we stand with you.

And it is difficult at a time like this to think about much else, but I do look around this room and I know who is here, and I know this is a room full of American leaders who know and have the courage to take a stand.

And so let us, tonight, as we do every time we all get together, recommit ourselves to having the courage to take action.

[….]

If you’re an American politician who has opposed gun reforms these past few years and right now you’re having doubts, thinking maybe these kids deaths could have been prevented, maybe you’re somehow responsible, allow me to help.

Yes. You are.

An amendment [pdf] to HB 2012 offered by Mary Elizabeth Coleman (r):

4488H03.01H
HB 2012
[….]
AMEND House Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2012, Page 1, Section A, Line 3, by inserting after all of said section and line the following:
[….]
Further amend said bill, Page 3, Section 188.165, Line 10, by inserting after said section and line the following:

“188.805. 1. It is the policy of the state of Missouri to protect its unborn citizens from individuals and organizations that aid or abet the killing of unborn children, and to protect the unborn from those who seek to kill or otherwise harm them, to the maximum extent permissible under the Constitution and federal law.
2. Except as provided by subsection 3 of this section, it shall be unlawful for any person to perform or induce, or to attempt to perform or induce, an abortion on a resident or citizen of Missouri, or to aid or abet, or attempt to aid or abet, an abortion performed or induced on a resident or citizen of Missouri, regardless of where the abortion is or will be performed. The prohibition in this subsection includes, but is not limited to:
(1) Offering or knowingly providing transportation to or from an abortion provider;
(2) Giving instructions over the telephone, the internet, or any other medium of communication regarding self-administered abortion or means of obtaining elective abortions;
(3) Hosting or maintaining a website, or providing internet service that allows Missouri residents to access any website, that encourages or facilitates efforts to obtain elective abortions;
(4) Offering or providing money with the knowledge that it will be used to pay for, offset, or reimburse the costs of an abortion or the costs associated with procuring an abortion;
(5) Providing or arranging for insurance coverage of an abortion;
(6) Offering or providing “abortion doula” services;
(7) Providing referrals to an abortion provider;
(8) Coercing or pressuring a pregnant woman to have an abortion; and
(9) Engaging in any conduct that would make one an accomplice to abortion under sections 562.036 and 562.041.
[….]

4488H03.01H
Page 3 of 9

[….]
4. Notwithstanding any other law, the requirements of this section shall be enforced exclusively through the private civil actions described in section 188.820. No direct or indirect enforcement of this section may be taken or threatened by the state, a political subdivision, a district or county attorney, or any officer or employee of this state or a political subdivision against any person or entity, by any means whatsoever, and no violation of this section may be used to justify or trigger the enforcement of any other law or any type of adverse consequence under any other law, except as provided in section 188.820.

Further:

[….]
4488H03.01H

188.820. 1. Any person, other than the state, its political subdivisions, or any officer or employee of a state or local governmental entity in this state, may bring a civil action against any person or entity that:
(1) Violates any provision of sections 188.805 and 188.810; or
(2) Intends to violate any provision of sections 188.805 and 188.810.
2. If a claimant prevails in an action brought under this section, the court shall award:
(1) Injunctive relief sufficient to prevent the defendant from violating sections 188.805 and 188.810;
(2) Nominal and compensatory damages if the plaintiff has suffered injury or harm from the defendant’s conduct, including, but not limited to, loss of consortium and emotional distress;
(3) Statutory damages in an amount of not less than ten thousand dollars; and
(4) Costs and attorney’s fees.
[….]
Page 5 of 9
[….]

“…Any person, other than the state, its political subdivisions, or any officer or employee of a state or local governmental entity in this state, may bring a civil action against any person or entity…”

“…Statutory damages in an amount of not less than ten thousand dollars…”

A bounty.

Further still:

[….]
4. Notwithstanding any other law, a person may bring an action under this section not later than six years after the date the cause of action accrues.
5. Notwithstanding any other law, the following are not defenses to an action brought under this section:
(1) Ignorance or mistake of law;
(2) A defendant’s belief that the requirements or provisions of this section are unconstitutional or were unconstitutional;
(3) A defendant’s reliance on any court decision that has been overruled on appeal or by a subsequent court, even if that court decision had not been overruled when the cause of action accrued;
(4) A defendant’s reliance on any state or federal court decision that is not binding on the court in which the action has been brought;
(5) Non-mutual issue preclusion or non-mutual claim preclusion;
(6) The consent of the unborn child’s mother to the abortion;
(7) Contributory or comparative negligence;
(8) Assumption of risk; or
(9) Any claim that the enforcement of this section or the imposition of civil liability against the defendant will violate the constitutional rights of third parties, except as provided by section 188.830.
[….]

“…A defendant’s belief that the requirements or provisions of this section are unconstitutional or were unconstitutional…”

“Were” unconstitutional. Anticipating something?

Representative Mary Elizabeth Coleman, a Republican, represents parts of Jefferson and St. Louis counties (District 97) in the Missouri House of Representatives. She was elected to her first two-year term in November of 2018.

Raised in Georgetown, Texas, Coleman received a BSBA in Management from Saint Louis University and her Juris Doctorate from St. Mary’s University School of Law. She served on the Arnold City Council from 2013-2015.

In addition to serving in the legislature, her most important job is being a wife and mother. She and her husband, Christopher Coleman, have been married for seventeen years and have six children. Mary Elizabeth practices law at Thomas More Society, a national not-for-profit law firm dedicated to restoring respect in law for life, family, and religious liberty.

That’s quite a tale.

Some of the comments:

What is your plan for all of these unwanted babies? Does Betsy Devos need some new product to sell?

A modest proposal.

You have no concern for these “babies.” We are not fools.

What would stop you? Even when we vote on things in this state the extreme right blatantly disregards it. So what’s the point. Do whatever you want.

What are you doing for living children? I’ll wait.

Y’all are begging for backlash. Good

Aunt Lydia, will you make sure our kids are fed once they’re out of the womb? [….]

Why do you hate women and want to hurt born children?

You must take great pleasure putting your boot in the neck of young women. The Aunt Lydia of Missouri.

Don’t let anyone tell you this is about abortion! It is anti-intellectualism at its core. Terrorize and intimidate the doctors, scientists, teachers is the fascist playbook. If this were about stopping abortion, the conversation would be about birth control and sex education.

What about the born? History books won’t mention you by name because you aren’t significant, but your movement will be treated harshly. You represent everything that is wrong with our society, enjoy being lumped in with Prohibitionist and other quack groups, ya zealot.

You’re all horrible people and gigantic, embarrassing hypocrites. If you care so much about the unborn, you should try giving a shit about them after they’re born by working to prevent gun violence and poverty. How about not destroying public education?

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

You are an embarrassment and a shame to all women and all Missourians. You are one sad, sick individual if you put clumps of cells before living, breathing women and children. Reexamine your life and your choices, they are extremely bad ones.

We see what you did there.

Oh look, another white woman standing up for the patriarchy. They’ll turn on you in a heartbeat when they no longer have a use for you. Stand up for women and girls, you drunken clown. [….]

abortion, filibuster, reproductive rights, Texas, U.S. Supreme Court

Pre 1973 2021 medical instruments.

Late yesterday, at the U.S. Supreme Court:

SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 21A24
WHOLE WOMAN’S HEALTH ET AL. v. AUSTIN REEVE
JACKSON, JUDGE, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
[September 1, 2021]

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE BREYER and JUSTICE KAGAN join, dissenting.

The Court’s order is stunning. Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights and evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand. Last night, the Court silently acquiesced in a State’s enactment of a law that flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents.

Today, the Court belatedly explains that it declined to grant relief because of procedural complexities of the State’s own invention. [….] Because the Court’s failure to act rewards tactics designed to avoid judicial review and inflicts significant harm on the applicants and on women seeking abortions in Texas, I dissent. [….]

KAGAN, J., dissenting
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 21A24
WHOLE WOMAN’S HEALTH ET AL. v. AUSTIN REEVE
JACKSON, JUDGE, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
[September 1, 2021]

JUSTICE KAGAN, with whom JUSTICE BREYER and JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR join, dissenting.

Without full briefing or argument, and after less than 72 hours’ thought, this Court greenlights the operation of Texas’s patently unconstitutional law banning most abortions. The Court thus rewards Texas’s scheme to insulate its law from judicial review by deputizing private parties to carry out unconstitutional restrictions on the State’s behalf. As of last night, and because of this Court’s ruling, Texas law prohibits abortions for the vast majority of women who seek them—in clear, and indeed undisputed, conflict with Roe and Casey.

Today’s ruling illustrates just how far the Court’s “shadow-docket” decisions may depart from the usual principles of appellate process. That ruling, as everyone must agree, is of great consequence. Yet the majority has acted without any guidance from the Court of Appeals—which is right now considering the same issues. It has reviewed only the most cursory party submissions, and then only hastily. And it barely bothers to explain its conclusion—that a challenge to an obviously unconstitutional abortion regulation backed by a wholly unprecedented enforcement scheme is unlikely to prevail. In all these ways, the majority’s decision is emblematic of too much of this Court’s shadow docket decisionmaking—which every day becomes more un-reasoned, inconsistent, and impossible to defend. I respectfully dissent.

End the filibuster. Now.

Statement by Vice President Harris on Texas Law SB8
SEPTEMBER 01, 2021

Today, a new law takes effect in Texas that directly violates the precedent established in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade. This all-out assault on reproductive health effectively bans abortion for the nearly 7 million Texans of reproductive age. Patients in Texas will now be forced to travel out-of-state or carry their pregnancy to term against their will. This law will dramatically reduce access to reproductive care for women in Texas, particularly for women with low incomes and women of color. It also includes a disturbing provision that incentivizes private citizens to sue anyone who assists another person in receiving an abortion.

The Biden-Harris Administration will always fight to protect access to healthcare and defend a woman’s right to make decisions about her body and determine her future.

abortion, Planned Parenthood, reproductive rights, Susan Collins, Texas, There is no such thing as a moderate republican, U.S. Supreme Court

[crickets]

She helped build this.

From Planned Parenthood [St. Louis, Missouri]:

“We are ready to help patients from Texas access the care they need and deserve. When politicians in other states have failed people in need of abortion, we have answered the call. RHS will do it again because abortion is health care and health care is a human right. However, despite our best efforts, the injustice here is that for far too many patients, traveling out of state will push access out of reach altogether. This is the reality we’ve long been warning about.” – Yamelsie Rodríguez, President and CEO, Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region
