Looks like scientists were wrong when they said time travel to the past is impossible.

 

Edit: Wait, according to the article this isn't even new.

The promotion that The Handsmaid's Tale is getting lately is insane.

If you actually read the story it makes sense. Under Missouri divorce laws, a fetus isn't considered a person and has no standing in the divorce proceedings. Thus no consideration is given to future child support and custody. So, any child born after the divorce is finalised wouldn't be entitled to financial support normally part of a divorce decree. They would have to go through the same process of suing for support  as out of wedlock children. Looks like a misguided attempt by lawmakers to streamline divorce law.

Oh.. so is it because the baby doesn’t exist yet? There’s no child custody case to have when there’s no “life” to battle over? Interesting.

But this is in direct contradiction to their abortion laws...I'm so confused. America is something else.

Right. I actually read the article instead of the sensationalized heading. It has to do with custody of the child. It still is weird but it is not nefarious.

B-b-but according to Joe this is just ultra MAGA. Nothing to do with actual Republicans. His consultants said so! After 6 months of working on that term. :cm: America is going to get very bad in some places, because Democrats refuse to acknowledge how disgusting, vile and repugnant all Republicans are

Even some of the so-called third world countries are better than this. WTF USA? You're supposed to be the role model for modernity and advancement yet you are here acting like you're in the medieval age :toofunny3:
