I just read in the paper that South Dakota has passed a law making it illegal for any doctor in the state to perform an abortion unless it is to save the life of the pregnant woman (even illegal to abort in cases of rape or incest). As im not all that familiar with how the American Judiciary and legislature work, does this state law override Roe vs Wade or is it just symbolic of the south dakota senate's opposition to abortion? related link http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/hc...nes-nationworld

https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a39714749/mercedes-benz-eqxx-621-mile-road-trip/ Mercedes-Benz is rightly glorying in the fact that it drove its Vision EQXX battery-electric concept over 621 miles (1000 kilometers) on a single charge. The feat took place on real roads from Stuttgart, Germany, to Cassis, France, in early spring weather ranging from 37 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit, at an average speed of 53 miles per hour. That middling speed was no hypermiling; the route included autobahn stints with extensive cruising at up to 87 mph, offset by Europe's congested urban traffic. *** The automaker believe…

Imagine phoning in anonymous tips when you suspect your neighbor has a butter knife. Imagine giving up the majority of your income to taxes, and waiting over a year for a basic medical treatment. Imagine telling your soft handed self some of the hardest working people on this planet are "lazy" even though they'd work circles around you. redditsave.com_well_this_is_disturbing-jut1h46rjbh81.mp4
