- I’ve been busy and haven’t been in a blogging mood as of late, so I’m sorry for the lack of posts. Hopefully, that will change. Maybe it’s the post-election blues.
- BoyGeeding had a chess tournament last weekend. While he didn’t place individually, his team, which consisted of him and one other, earned the first-place trophy.
- I don’t always read through everything I post. When looking for material, sometimes I run across something I think may interest you and will post it without really vetting it. I did that last week when I ran across a People article about a teen mother who died and the Texas abortion laws. I also commented, “I hope our lawmakers can iron out some wrinkles in the law that obviously need addressing.” A friend I admire reached out and shared insights on the reporting of abortion-related deaths in states with restrictive laws. He noted that some sources may lack balance, failing to compare cases in less restrictive states, and emphasized Texas law allows for medical discretion and suggested that the reported deaths were likely due to pregnancy complications and potential malpractice rather than solely the impact of abortion laws, and provided this link, which he admitted is clearly pro-life, as a resource.

Tennessee State Rep. Gino Bulso (R) fights for an amendment to allow first cousins to marry:
“Unless anyone in this body can articulate a compelling interest to deny a male first cousin from marrying a male first cousin, this [current] bill demonstrably violates Obergefell.” pic.twitter.com/kb8cNuA17Y
