The whole thing was traumatic enough as it was without someone then making me a criminal, or making a criminal out of the people who helped me through it.
The impetus for this bill was a pregnant teenager paying someone to beat her up in hopes of triggering a miscarriage. Which tells you how fucked up sex ed/pregnancy options are in this state. Because it's more acceptable to get beat up than to get proper medical help. Unfortunately not enough legislators are seeing the absolute inanity of the bill.
That said, if you just think the possibility exists of being pregnant, you might not want to come to Utah. If this passes, it's going to be even a worse place to be a woman.
I can't even respond to the Utah miscarriage bill. It's so far beyond inhumane.
House inspection went well. A couple of circuit breakers were double loaded or something, so they want to add breaks, and they want to put those self-breakering plug things in the kitchen and baths. The house needs insulation, but we expected that. The garage door opener is an old one, so they want a newer one with the safety features. That's it.
That's it? That's fantastic!!
That is amazingly appalling.
Eta: msbelle's news good; proposed law bad.
Yeah, I can just see it. "I just came here to ski!" "pregnant wombs shouldn't be skiing!" "but I didn't realize I was pregnant" "yeah, that's what they all say..."
If you are female and HAVE EVERY HAD A PENIS IN YOU you should be in Just In Case mode at all times.
Duh.
Yeah, I think we are going back to the seller asking for $500 in concessions and let us do the work. It will probably be more like $1200 of electrical we'll do, but our realtor thinks that if we ask for much more than $500 they will reject it.
I need to research eco insulation.
We may also look at relocating the hot water heater now that we know there is also a gas line in the garage. That may be too much money right now, though. If we did move it, I would gain another hall closet which would be awesome.
How dare you ski when there's a possibility you might be pregnant?
