The slimmed-down version was stripped of language that would have allowed children with relapsed cancer to undergo treatments with a combination of cancer drugs and therapies. (Currently the Food and Drug Administration is only authorized to direct pediatric cancer trials of single drugs.) The bill also didn't include an extension of a program that gave financial lifelines, in the form of vouchers, to small pharmaceutical companies working on rare pediatric diseases. It was also missing earlier provisions that would have allowed for kids on Medicaid or CHIP"that is, poor children"to access medically complex care across state lines. For political veterans, however, the most striking absence in the revised bill was the language that would have extended funding for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program. read more

As a candidate, Donald Trump campaigned"and won"this year on the promise he would lower prices for Americans angry after the COVID pandemic's inflation brought steep price increases, but now he's backtracking, saying he's not sure he will actually be able to fulfill those vows.

"You're not comfortable with the idea of a human being killed by an abortion, so you deny science, just like PravdaPain/TruthHurts does. "
Look at you lie you fucking cunt.
Let me speak clearly to you you fucking asshole.
I am perfectly fine, nay, I fully support a woman being able to kill whatever that thing is in her body. Is that not clear enough for you?
I fully recognize (like I have repeatedly said you fucking lying cunt), that a zygote, embryo, fetus are all stages in the development of a human being.
I gladly support a woman's right to choose what happens with that entity inside her body.
It is her body, not the state's, not the entity's, not YOURS. So, fuck right off with your pervy, sick, vile, intrusive, oppression of women. That woman holds zero obligation to you or the state on what she does with her body.
As I have repeatedly stated and you lie like a piece of shit that I haven't stated it, that it is deplorable to value a zygote, embryo or fetus over a living breathing human being.
The ONLY question that society can answer is when it will intervene in the protection of an embryo, fetus, zygote or birthed human. And as I have repeatedly explained, the ONLY moral position is that the entity only be given rights AFTER it is separate from the mother's umbilical cord, though I will allow complete passage of the vaginal canal or through cesarian section.
Anyone who oppresses women like this is immoral.
