We may have made that choice, but there are some pretty sure consequences if you don't go along at least a teeny bit.

Neither of your articles prove what you said about LGBTQ people, but no matter what this school shouldn't exist.
ProPublica then contacted the 12 medical examination offices and discovered that only two actually used the test at all, and none of them considered the results definitive proof of live birth.
Source?
Note that they were aware of which offices had performed the 11 tests they were aware of, and yet they could not find anyone willing to "[express] full-throated support for the test."
This is the full quote. "None of the 12 largest offices by jurisdiction expressed full-throated support for the test." They didn't state that the 12 largest offices were the ones who performed the tests. What you posted was taken out of context and given new context.
Here's the surrounding context to give more insight. Nowhere did they state that these 12 offices who didn't express support for the test are the ones who did the test.
" Cook County, home to Chicago, pathologists use it, but give more weight to “more reliable methods” including X-rays, microscopic examinations and autopsy findings to determine whether a birth was live or still. Others, like the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said the test may be useful only if a baby was not born into a toilet, CPR was not performed and decomposition was not present. None of the 12 largest offices by jurisdiction expressed full-throated support for the test.
And while the national organization that represents medical examiners said that it doesn’t have an official stance on the lung float test, it said it “strongly advocates using scientifically validated and evidence-based practices in forensic pathology.” The National Association of Medical Examiners called the lung float test “a single, dated test” that has not been subjected to the organization’s rigorous evaluation process."
Their point still stands.
I wouldn't. The vast majority of people are not tech savvy and generally just go with whatever the default is.
This is so beyond messed up. The cops refuse to tell the truth because of "an investigation" and refused to even say who was killed. The family had to use process of elimination to even find out their family member is dead. These cops did something egregious and just want to hide it and don't give a shit who they hurt in the process.
Why is this article down playing that a cop raped a child? Criminal sexual abuse instead of rape and person instead of child. Wtf.
Of course. They get to commit perjury, steal your money and force you to prove that your money didn't commit a crime, work in a different city when they've gotten too many infractions, refuse to turn on their body cameras, lie about assaulting people who weren't resisting arrest until a video finally comes out, and get away with murder. Why wouldn't they? The law doesn't apply to them. They don't have to know what it is. They only ~~protect rich people's money~~ enforce the law.
But what's a lot? You say "a lot" for regret and "a lot" for not regretting. I'm not really sure it can be "a lot" in both cases.
It is possible to see another point of view, but your original comment is hardly showing multiple view points. It comes off as if you're saying everyone who doesn't have children will regret not doing so.
I know plenty of couples who don't want kids and who are self aware enough that they would not make good parents. They're still good people, but they wouldn't have the patience or resources to care for a child. And that's ok. Even one or two generations ago, they would have been heavily pressured to have children.
That's part of where the pushback against your comment comes from, the societal push that everyone has to pair off and everyone has to have children. It's not necessary for survival now and there is the theory that it wasn't necessary hundreds of years ago either. The childless actually helped care for the children of the group and were able to contribute more to other aspects of life.
Not necessarily true. Adoption can be hard but they could also be more involved with their nieces/nephews/young cousins/etc if the parents are willing. They could volunteer to work with kids or foster. Each option comes with its own challenges and they would likely have to come to terms with their decision or lot in life, but I'd hazard to guess that not as many people regret not having kids as that person is trying to say.
Exactly what part was "misinformation"? Are you trying to say that the celebration wasn't peaceful?
I wouldn't suggest this for extended periods. Imo, it's how people don't know and become apathetic about politics and only hear the highest airplane level that seeps through.
