That is THE reason when composing something more substantial than "Yeah Bro!" to compose in a word processor that KEEPS the draft in process and even then SAVE often, transporting to the forum only after it's done.  I'm very sorry all that work vanished on you.  Electrons are too slippery to trust by themselves.

Just this evening, STEVEII responded to my query and I spent over an hour composing a reply only to hit some wrong key and LOSE IT ALL!!!  Aggravated I'll have to rewrite it, but not tonight.  I am so disappointed!  What will be really embarrassing is if the unfinished post turns up somewhere random in the thread.  Like, what...??

Hey DOK, hit the "Save as Draft" button at the
bottom right of the dialogue box before you do
anything.  

You can then find it in your user
CP under (unsurprisingly) "Drafts".     Smile

It's also because, since they're not being mothers, they're undercutting future profits from future workers.

A Non-Religious Case Against Abortion
Roughly 7% of women of reproductive age in the US
have attempted to induce their own abortions outside
the formal healthcare system, a new study has found,
up from 5% before Roe v. Wade fell in 2022. People of
colour and LGBTQ+ people were more likely to report
having ever attempted to end their own pregnancies.  

Far more people tried to end their pregnancies in potentially
unsafe ways. In 2023, about 25% of those who attempted
to self-manage their abortions used herbs, 22% hit themselves
in the stomach and 19% used alcohol or other drugs. Another
15% said that, after their attempted self-managed abortion,
they experienced complications.

Only Nevada bans self-managed abortion, but legal experts
have long warned that if a prosecutor wants to punish someone
for attempting one, they will find a statute pliable enough to
do it. Earlier this year, an Ohio grand jury considered whether
to indict a woman accused of abusing a corpse(!) after she
miscarried into a toilet.   It ultimately declined to charge her.

Christ almighty he's still at it, babbling about the tragedy of losing kids. I'm not sure that aborted babies are lost, exactly...but lets just dive in on that one shall we. Sure, sucks to lose a kid. The only way it could be worse is if some panty sniffing bible thumper tries to kill or jail you in the process.

But there are people who will try any questionable legal course against even miscarriage, assuming it was somehow deliberate. They don't care if they lose 99 cases, as long as they succeed at one. That "one" can lead them to The Supreme Court, where they have a 6-3 guarantee.

In a dictator-revolution, they often say "one vote one time". (why bother with a second). It is like that these days with The Supreme Court.

Are you saying that the US is a dictatorial state?
Should the free peoples of the world *cough*cough*Russ...China*cough*cough*EU*cough*cough* come to your rescue?

I did not say or favor that idea. The opposite. I said "In a dictator-revolution". Read twice, respond once.

Has anyone ever seen Stevie and Huggy in the same room at the same time?

Sheesh.... that's exactly what your Republican candidate is wanting to implement.
