This case is much less about the legal status of a fetus in Alabama, and much more about the legal status of a woman in Alabama.
I just installed the new Buster Raspbian on a RPi2 and itās much better on a slow refresh 480x320 display. Before tweaking the drivers, it still loses frames playing YouTube videos, but much less than before, and without the annoying sweep refresh. So far, Iām happy.
And Windows 10 seems to have trashed support for my USB SD card reader. Oh well, my XP netbook got that job done.
Sensible ruling, I think.
Of course his lawyers will appeal. As long as the money keeps flowing.

Ngās response in this thread here is fantastic:
I love that woman!
And itās an excellent point, about why not social sciences being fictionalizedā¦ I guess maybe itās because part of what makes science fiction as a genre feasible is the ability to project change into the future, and itās far easier to project into the future the changes to technology than it is to chart the changes to social relations, in part because too many people believe that human nature is static and unchanging, or are unwilling to believe that anyway. A science fiction novel grounded in social relations that are profoundly different is in some ways a harder thing to wrap your head around, if youāre entire world view revolves around some supposed eternal human natureā¦
That, and Campbell was a sexist. Those were āwomenās storiesā. Men wrote about spaceships and rayguns.
Gatekeepers can be insanely powerful with lasting effects.
Well, yes, there is that! 
But I think that social sciences are probably more feminized, not just in make up of who gets degrees in them, but also in terms of how theyāre viewed in the world.
Indeed.
