Eh, did the google on the thing and found this:

Impeachment and Removal of Judges: An Explainer

Judicial impeachment shouldn’t be used to punish judges for their rulings. Here’s why.
www.brennancenter.org www.brennancenter.org

How common is it to impeach judges?​

Impeachment of judges is rare, and removal is rarer still. With respect to federal judges, since 1803, the House of Representatives has impeached only 15 judges — an average of one every 14 years — and only eight of those impeachments were followed by convictions in the Senate. Justice Samuel Chase is the only Supreme Court justice the House has impeached, and he was acquitted by the Senate in 1805.

Considering how partisan we are, and how little moral and ethical fiber any of our leaders actually have, I doubt it would ever happen. The whole thing Trump said about shooting someone on the street likely applies to nearly everyone on any side at this point, as they would never allow anyone that gives their party an edge to be removed from office for nearly any reason.

Idaho hospital to stop labor and delivery services citing "political climate" and doctor shortages

Abortion bans have made it increasingly challenging for rural hospitals nationwide to attract qualified staff.
www.cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com

Again, how does this help anyone? This is example 1,749,540,847,094,864 on how the cure is worse than the disease. Abortion laws are becoming so restrictive that they’re having a negative effect on the health care of all. I really don’t know how the “pro life” movement in this country live with themselves other than they’ve convinced themselves that tribalism is more important than actual policy or outcomes.

Just what a disaster for people. Hopefully voters hold those who have passed these restrictions to account! Unfortunately, I doubt they will. Ruralists are caught in a death loop. They vote politicians in who make their lives harder. In this case, Republican policies that end up closing hospitals and health care centers in rural areas. Then they exercise their grievances by voting for more extremist republicans who make their lives even worse. Tough cycle to break. Not sure if it can be broken if policy outcomes don’t matter.

I’m not a fan of abortion. I do believe in choice. I’m certainly not willing to punish my fellow citizen by taking away their health care all so my tribe can win. We had a baby spend 2 weeks in the NICU and our hospital was merely 20 mins away. I can’t imagine what it would be like to travel long distances for health care.

Elections have consequences

Tribalism has been more important than policy for over 2 decades now. It is just the "new" status quo. Party lines are no longer drawn in the sand, they are separated by an iron curtain no less real than the one that used to separate east and west Germany and patrolled by millions of clueless twitter users and yokels who can't tell their asses from holes in the ground, but believe literally everything their party leaders tell them to, regardless of how morally ambiguous, obviously wrong, or outright evil it objectively is.

Welcome to the beginning of Gilead.

The so-called “pro choice” crowd sounds like 1940’s German apologists. The reality is that today more black babies in New York are killed than are delivered. The most dangerous place for a black person in America is in a mother’s womb. Auschwitz, Dachau, and Buchenwald combined don’t come close to the number of lives ended in American abortion clinics.

Substituting ‘Master Race’ for ‘Women’ and the propaganda is identical. The Fuhrer was democratically elected and elections have consequences. Master race rights! Their gas chambers, their choice!

I have no problem living with myself with my beliefs that neither Jews nor babies should be killed. What I have trouble wrapping my head around is when people express moral outrage at the idea of killing babies and Jews being viewed the same as killing non-babies / non-Jews.

On the chart you linked, the number is in cell I9. In New York there were 1,228.3 black babies killed via abortion for every 1,000 black babies who were delivered.

In New York County (aka Manhattan), as I mentioned above, but not in New York City or the the state of New York, which is what most people mean when they say "New York". If you mean New York County, just say Manhattan.

...And your excuse is akin to holocaust denial of the basis that not all of the Jews were killed.

The goal of the Holocaust was to kill all Jews. The goal of abortion rights is to let women choose when to give birth and how many babies they have. There is not a black baby shortage right now, and the black population of Manhattan is not decreasing.

The goal of the Master Race was to let the Master Race choose when Jews would be allowed to survive and how many Jews a society should have. In these parallel scenarios, Jews and babies have the same rights: none. The advocates arguing for your side focus solely on how criminal it is to take power away from the Master Race who are very open about their desire to use that power to kill those the Master Race considers unwanted.

I am not sad about taking away the right to kill from would-be killers. I find it weird when I hear the positive spin of someone who succeeded in life due to the light cast from the desk lamp made from human remains.
