My hometown in the news

[Mik]

This does not make me happy. It's pretty fringe tactics.

Nope.

Not gonna....

[Mik]

Just run your cookie cleaner and you will get three more. It used to be seven but the cheap bastards (not me) cut it back trying to squeeze money. I would still be a subscriber had it not turned into a Gannett left wing rag.

I dunno if they had much choice?

[Mik]

They didn't. Several friends lost their jobs. But I do.

[LuFins Dad]

Does this mean you’re going to wind up with a bunch of homeless fetuses living under the bridge and pooping in the street?

[Mik]

No, it means the prolife folks have decided to go with meaningless gestures. You cannot get an abortion in Lebanon. Never could. The only benefit this will be is to the lawyers when someone sues over it.

I don't live in the city anymore so have no real voice. This is virtue signaling from the other side, and just a pointless.

[Doctor Phibes]

You should try and persuade them to declare the city a nuclear free zone as well, which would essentially outlaw two enormous hazards from every-day life. Not only would abortion be impossible, but thermonuclear detonations would also be significantly reduced.

[LuFins Dad]

They should make it a rape free zone, too.

[Doctor Phibes]

There's always somebody who wants to take things too far.

[Horace]

I can see the lawn signs now. "This household believes that rape is wrong - FULL STOP."

[jon-nyc]

How many abortion clinics are there in Lebanon OH? I’m guessing somewhere between zero and zero.

There's nothing but fields of rapeseed, as far as the eye can see.

[Doctor Phibes]

My town has recently declared itself a Tom Brady free zone.

[Loki]

Sanctuary cities. Build a weapon and soon enough it starts being used on you.

I think it should be illegal.

[Mik]

Now a good friend of mine and likely the last sane member of council has resigned over this. Sad.

I'd just love to make that point about Brady in a town meeting :laughing:

[Mik]

More detail. The whole thing makes me sad. The net effect is a LOT of money will be spent defending an indefensible ordinance that serves only to further the careers of ambitious office seekers. It even forbids anyone in the town from advocating, paying for and providing transportation to an abortion facility.

Time for some proverbial heads to roll down main street.
