The 1864 #law, which predates AZ’s statehood, permits #abortion only to save the patient’s life—& provides NO exceptions for survivors of #rape or #incest.
The law also states the age of consent for a “woman” is 10 yrs.

- Summary: Ashley Madison, a dating site for extramarital affairs, is plagued with sextortionists who extort users by threatening to expose their infidelity unless they pay a large sum of money. Over 200 complaints filed with the FTC reveal cases of extortionists demanding thousands of dollars, often after users have complied with their requests for explicit content. These scammers use the extorted material to intimidate and manipulate victims into paying larger sums, often leading to a cycle of extortion and futile payments.

Dude upgraded his classic car to battery power but created a noise generator and a long pipe to mimic the sound of a rattly old combustion engine to keep the angry old men happy. 😂 Actually sounds pretty accurate!

Some people get really triggered when I use the term #Latinx. Sometimes Latinx people but honestly mostly white people. Listen, if someone has a term they personally prefer to be called -- Latinx, #Latine, #Hispanic, #Chicano -- I'm going to use it. Same goes if a group has agreed on what they want to be called. Same with people's #pronouns. If I don't know what they want, I'll ask. If that's not possible, I'll just do the best I can. That's really all we can do.
