    Idaho prepares to ban most abortions in the state as governor signs Texas-style law.
    NPR (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 81% • 4 min read

    The law, which bans most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, is modeled after a similar Texas law, SB 8, which allows anyone to bring lawsuits against health care providers, or anyone else accused of helping provide such abortions. The Idaho legislation, known as SB 1309, narrows the field of potential plaintiffs to biological relatives.
    ...
    Penalties for abortion providers start at $20,000 per violation. Unlike the Texas law, Idaho's ban allows abortions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest — if the assault is reported to law enforcement. SB 1309 specifies that anyone who causes a pregnancy by committing rape or incest is not eligible to sue, though it's silent on how that person's guilt would be proven. It includes no such exclusion for a rapist's family.
    ...
    [The Texas law's] legal strategy has sustained a series of state and federal court challenges. In the month after the Texas law took effect, the number of abortions reported in Texas fell by 60%. Republicans in several states have proposed similar legislation; Idaho is the first to pass it.

Do you think there’s intelligent life on other planets?

495 votes, 53 comments

Context: NASA confirms over 5,000 exoplanets have been cataloged.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - I think with the vastness of space and the billions of billions of stars the likelihood of life and even intelligent life is still extremely high. [...] I think inferring anything about intelligent life on these planets we have found is also only a vague guess. Two hundred years ago earth would not have been giving any "intelligent life" signal, now we produce tons of radio noise, these planets are many light years away, some thousands of light years away. If we did find a signal now it would mean they have a thousand or so years of technological advancement on us (suppose they don't like our kind, and really would you?) and/or time to have already died off.


No - People assume that there must be intelligent life on other planets based on the immense size of the universe. Unfortunately, because of the imme...



Unsure - With the sheer number of galaxies and planets it seems likely tha...
