   For thousands of years women have sought ways to end unwanted pregnancies, and found them, often with the help of other women. Surely both Jesus and Moses knew about the practice, yet neither said one word about it. Jewish law treated an accident resulting in a miscarriage as a loss of property (specifically the man’s property), not as manslaughter. The “ordeal of bitter waters” involved giving an abortifacient to a woman whose pregnancy was suspected to be the result of adultery; if she miscarried, the pregnancy was deemed illegitimate; if not, the baby born thereafter was considered the child of the husband. After all, it is too much to expect that a man raise a baby that’s not his own, right?

   Eh. “Compliant” isn’t really the issue, “functional” is the issue. The Hardest-core MAGAs are a minority of the congessional GOP, but they’re the tail wagging the dog. There are functions that need to happen; if Johnson goes down, they don’t happen. I wouldn’t expect that Johnson feels he’s “beholden” to the Democrats who saved his job, for anything.

    No, Marj delights not me. She seems to me no more than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors…
