    Yep. So maybe it is to monitor the stress of sports on the female body as a whole? Maybe there is a study going on and this data will help 'science' better understand the effects on fertility or some other issue I have no idea about.
    Point is, there is other options other than "DeSantis is the Debil".
    When even Farb can’t think of a plausible (at least in his mind) excuse, you know it’s extremist.
     
    Start with this guy...

    I'd prefer to be finished with him forever, but yeah, he's a real piece of shirt.

    There is no study being done for these forms. They don’t provide ongoing information, just a single yearly data point. According to what I have read this is just meaningless gathering of info because they can. Oh, and I don’t think DeSantis has had anything to do with it in the past, although I’m certain he would misuse it if he figures out a way.
    Maybe it is track vaccinated females menstrual cycles vs. unvaxed females? That is just as likely as the theory of DeSantis just wanting to gather period data because 'he can' would you agree?

    Nope. They have been gathering this data since long before DeSantis came on the scene. It’s just male bureaucracy gone amuck with a touch of male arrogance toward females.
     
    Nothing to see here, right?

    The Supreme Court did not disclose its longstanding financial ties with former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff even as it touted him as an expert who independently validated its investigation into who leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.

    The court’s inquiry, released last week with Chertoff’s endorsement, failed to identify who was responsible for the unprecedented leak. The decision to keep the relationship with Chertoff quiet is a reflection of a pattern of opacity at the nation’s highest court, whose rulings affect every American.

    CNN has learned from sources familiar with the arrangements that the court in recent years has privately contracted with The Chertoff Group for security assessments, some broadly covering justices’ safety and some specifically related to Covid-19 protocols at the court itself.

    The estimated payments to Chertoff’s risk assessment firm, for consultations that extended over several months and involved a review of the justices’ homes, reached at least $1 million. The exact amount of money paid could not be determined. Supreme Court contracts are not covered by federal public disclosure rules and elude tracking on public databases.

    This is why Congress needs to establish rules for SCOTUS, just like they do every other federal level.
     
    The Supreme Court’s decision overruling the constitutional right to abortion didn’t remove courts from deciding abortion cases. It merely changed the terms of the debate. Right now, nothing is more front and center than competing efforts to eliminate or expand access to abortion medications.


    Abortions conducted through a two-drug protocol now account for more than half of abortions in this country, a development that has transformed the abortion landscape, especially in the aftermath of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.


    But a lawsuit filed in federal court in Texas seeks a nationwide ban on using mifepristone, one of the two drugs, although the Food and Drug Administration first approved the medication as safe and effective for that purpose in 2000. This could produce chaos, at least in the short term.

    Meanwhile, two other federal lawsuits filed last week attempt to leverage the FDA’s approval of mifepristone to block states from imposing additional hurdles to obtaining the medication — or, more boldly, to require that mifepristone remain available even in states with abortion bans.


    Under ordinary circumstances, the Texas lawsuit would be laughed out of court. Instead, it’s being greeted with anxiety among abortion rights advocates because the judge hearing the case — not by accident, but through careful selection of venue — is Trump appointee Matthew Kacsmaryk……

     
    After GOP underperformance in November’s midterm elections, the Republican National Committee is doubling down on its antiabortion stance, formally urging GOP lawmakers and campaigns to “go on offense in the 2024 election cycle” and to pass the strictest antiabortion legislation possible.


    At its winter meeting, the RNC passed a resolution that called on Republicans to push “laws that acknowledge the beating hearts and experiences of pain in the unborn,” referring to “heartbeat” bans on abortions, which would outlaw the procedure after cardiac activity is detected, at about six weeks of pregnancy — before many people realize they are pregnant.


    The resolution, which was passed Friday, alluded to Republicans’ disappointing performance in the November elections, months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but appeared to place the blame on GOP candidates who did not sufficiently publicize their antiabortion views.

    The Supreme Court ruled in June 2022 that a constitutional right to abortion, which had been in place for nearly 50 years, no longer existed.


    “Instead of fighting back and exposing Democratic extremism on abortion, many Republican candidates failed to remind Americans of our proud heritage of challenging slavery, segregation, and the forces eroding the family and the sanctity of human life, thereby allowing Democrats to define our longtime position,” the RNC resolution stated…….

     
    Top doctors in the US warn that surgeons should be prepared to treat more patients with complications from self-managed abortions and forced pregnancy after the overturning of Roe v Wade.

    In a recent opinion piece published in the BMJ, 17 experts from medical centers and universities including the University of Chicago, Duke Medicine and the University of Pennsylvania urged surgeons to be prepared to treat medical consequences related to a person’s inability to access an abortion.

    “In the aftermath of the supreme court’s Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health decision, acute care surgeons face an increased likelihood of seeing patients with complications from both self-managed abortions and forced pregnancy in underserved areas of reproductive and maternity care throughout the USA,” read the op-ed……

    But physicians warned that people in underserved medical communities in states that ban abortions may be more likely to attempt a self-managed “by ingestion of toxic substances or by self-inflicted physical injury”.

    “Depending on their location and state laws regarding abortion access, trauma and acute care surgeons may find themselves providing care for people [affected] by the Dobbs ruling who undergo [self-managed abortion] and suffer injury as a result,” the op-ed noted.

    “While we should strive to prevent such injury by advocating for the protection of access to safe abortion care, surgeons should also prepare to treat resulting complications.”

    Doctors noted that surgeons must act to protect patient privacy and legal safety, especially as conservative states have weighed prosecutingpregnant people who seek an abortion in a state that prohibits it……

     
    ST. LOUIS (AP) — Attorneys general in 20 conservative-led states warned CVS and Walgreens on Wednesday that they could face legal consequences if they sell abortion pills by mail in those states.

    A letter from Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the nation's largest pharmacy-dispensing companies was co-signed by 19 other attorneys general, warning that sale of abortion pills would violate federal law and abortion laws in many states. Missouri is among states that implemented strict abortion prohibitions last summer after the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

    Bailey didn't specify what legal action he would take if the pharmacies begin selling abortion pills to Missourians by mail.

    “I will enforce the laws as written," Bailey said in a statement in response to questions from The Associated Press. "That includes laws protecting the health of women and their unborn children. The FDA rule is in direct violation of federal law, and the unelected bureaucrats at the FDA have no authority to change Missouri law, either. The people’s elected representatives have spoken on the issue of abortion in our state, and we will fight to uphold that in court.”..............

     
    Well, since the only reason's are obviously evil, it only makes sense Elon Musk is at the center of it all.
     
    This will ruffle some feathers and I absolutely love it. Ironically, Satanic temple is doing the people's work.
     
    This isn’t just Florida, either. And it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better if people don’t stop electing Rs who want to control everything about our lives.
    CLAIM: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is requiring all female student-athletes in the state to provide detailed information about their periods in order to compete in organized sports.

    AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Florida High School Athletic Association is weighing the recommendation from an advisory committee, but no final decision has been made. DeSantis’ education commissioner is a member of the association’s board of directors and the commissioner also appoints three others, but the association is a private nonprofit organization, not a state agency under the purview of the governor’s office.

    I said that DeSantis isn’t directly behind this a couple times, but he has refused to step in and tell them they don’t need to collect that data. The reporting has been accurate, even if some tweets are a bit hyperbolic.

    The Board has recommended making the collection of the data required, which before it was optional, IIRC. And they are putting the data online in a database run by a third party vendor.

    You might be comfortable with this type of government overreach, but I am not. Funny that you have a cow over the FBI, yet you’re perfectly fine with cataloging young girls’ menstrual periods by anyone as a requirement for the girl to participate in sports at school.
