This is pretty funny but it drives home the point. Oz is toast.
Hi there, my name is Guy Actually, head of the Male Republicans Center on Womens Rights. Some concern has been raised about a comment Pennsylvania GOP senate candidate Mehmet Oz good ol Dr. Oz! made during a debate Tuesday night with Democratic opponent John Fetterman.
Now before everyone starts getting hysterical, let me give you the comment in question. On the issue of abortion, Oz said he believes states should decide their own policies: As a physician, Ive been in the room when theres some difficult conversations happening. I dont want the federal government involved with that at all. I want women, doctors, local political leaders letting the democracy thats always allowed our nation to thrive, to put the best ideas forward so states can decide for themselves.
And later on the page,
We believe these difficult, intimate discussions about what a woman wants to do with her own body should only involve the aforementioned woman and her doctor, local political leaders and law enforcement officials, a male representative from the local parent-teacher association, the local football coach, the right Rev. Thomas C. Osbourne, Burt from down at the tavern and no fewer than three (male) community business leaders.
Its only reasonable that a decision of this magnitude be as informed by area men as possible. We certainly wouldnt want to leave it solely up to the vessel sorry the woman.
Funny stuff...bye bye Oz

(71,262 posts)their husbands knowing...so I have often worried about mail-in ballots if husbands would force their wives to vote a certain way. I was happy to find that most states allow you to turn in your ballot and get a new one...also with the hatred of mail-in ballots many GOP types won't use them. You would need a constitutional amendment to change that too.

(71,262 posts)or another...my future son in law who's Mom is a nurse and I compared notes... we all had scarlet fever (untreated strep), He did too, He had a broken arm 24 hours before being taken to the doctor...so did two of my brothers...and it goes on and on. Nurse moms treat you themselves. As an adult with three kids, I broke my ankle in BJ's I think...I slipped. We were going to Connecticut from Georgia for Christmas. The x-rays were inconclusive because of swelling.
When I arrived at my Mom's with my broken ankle. she announce the doctors were a bunch of idiots and that the ankle was broken. She had stuff in the House told me to look out the window at something and pushed my ankle in place...she set it. It hurt like hell then she put a cast on it. She said you don't want to spend Christmas Eve in the ER...'there all better.'..hauled out some crutches and that was that. I went to the orthopedist after I got home. He asked me who set the ankle. I said my Mom the old nurse, and he laughed and said well she did a great job...so the last thing my Mom 'treated' me for was a broken ankle! She was a pistol...drove 90 miles an hour mostly, loved us but didn't like other kids (my friends were scared of her and refused to sleep at my house), and backed us up every time we needed it. Damn, I miss her every day.

(71,262 posts)was one of that sort...and my first husband tried to fight him because he pinched my ass at a family party! I was 19 at the time. Of course, my family is from the south (don't send me mean PM's or posts-I speak only of my experience) and my great-grandparents on my Mom's side were first cousins. It was pretty common back in the day. Their first child my Grandpa was born in 1911. My uncle never went to family reunions as he said he didn't want to be tempted! Now we know about genetics and that sort of thing never happens...but folks that lived in small towns for generations can run into issues where they are related multiple ways and don't know it.
