This abortion law isn’t what Ireland voted for | Emer O’Toole | Opinion | The Guardian
The three-day wait is a political concession that has no basis in best medical practice or clinical evidence. Its only purpose is to make access to care more difficult. And, as always, the most vulnerable will be the most affected – people with disabilities, single parents, people suffering partner abuse, people in precarious employment, people on low incomes, people who live in remote areas, and asylum seekers in Direct Provision facilities will all find it much harder to attend multiple appointments.

Are Google and Facebook really suppressing conservative politics?
Pretend issues and false claims of being suppressed have been a favorite word and idea porn of fascists since the 1920s.

Accusations of encoded anti-conservative prejudice are gaining traction, but experts say the claims are just a ‘red herring’
In August, Paula Bolyard, a supervising editor at the conservative news outlet PJ Media, published a story reporting that 96% of Google search results for Donald Trump prioritized “left-leaning and anti-Trump media outlets”.
Bolyard’s results were generated according to her own admittedly unscientific methodology. She searched for “Trump” in Google’s News tab, and then used a highly questionable media chart that separated outlets into “left” and “right” to tabulate the results. She reported that 96 of 100 results returned were from so-called “left-leaning” news outlets, with 21 of those from CNN alone. Despite this dubious methodology, Bolyard’s statistic spread, and her story was picked up by a Fox Business Network show.

The spat began Monday when Conway, a frequent Trump critic despite being husband to top Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, suggested the president had engaged in witness tampering when he tweeted about longtime associate Roger Stone’s vow to stand up to special counsel Robert Mueller.
