[@palpablenotion]

My mom started in hospital admin under several nuns in a catholic hospital and worked about 15 years there before it closed for a year or two (and was rebuilt later) and she has outstanding respect for nuns from that time. All the hospital food was made from scratch by the sisters. It was made i ln bulk and most was frozen and reheated, but my mom still says they made the best goulash she's ever had. When Vance asked if you'd force catholic hospitals to perform abortions, my mom snapped,"Absolutely! They have a legal, ethical, and morale requirement to if a patient shows up dying because of a miscarriage or home abortion or complication." There was possibly a few curses. EMTALA, people.

[@jonunciate7018]

The nuns at that hospital likely never did anything outside of nurse assistant, kitchen, housekeeping work, and maybe spiritual advice. Basically, they aren't qualified to give abortions that require surgery, nor can they pescribe a pill. You couldn't force them even if you wanted to. That's what the doctors and nurses are there for.

[@tsharabrown3719]

Catholic hospitals are also sometimes the only option in an area.

[@Vaeldarg]

This is why can't really have religious hospitals in the first place. It's a clear conflict of interest just for the sake of ingraining the religion even more in a society than it already has. Native Americans in Arizona are having to avoid their own traditions, because Catholic private schools are being given all the state funding and those don't allow them to practice such traditions due to wanting the religion to take over their lives instead.

[@tsharabrown3719]

@@Vaeldarg I totally agree. But since replacing them isn't even on the table, I'm fine restricting them by requiring that they provide life saving medical care.

[@palpablenotion]

@@Vaeldarg thats not what I was saying at all. If a woman comes into a hospital, hemorrhaging or septic from an aborted pregnancy, natural or not (because a miscarriage is also medically an abortion. It's a spontaneous abortion), they will take care of her need in Catholic hospitals. They have to unless there's something like a Georgia abortion ban which has been over turned anyway. If an abortion is needed to save the woman's life, they will do it. They don't just let ectopic pregnancies go, they don't let women die from sepsis (on purpose). She was angry because Vance was presenting an argument that was moot. If a hospital takes medicaid, they MUST provide care for someone in an emergency situation. They can't discharge them or transfer them unless stable. That's called EMTALA. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. A poster with the requirements are almost certainly in most of not all ERs. Private establishments that don't take money from the government are technically exempt. Most catholic hospitals are not private.

[@emyness]

Agree! Though also against his point, Catholic hospitals still are not required to provide abortions in states where abortion is legal. I am a doctor working at a Catholic hospital in California. Unfortunately we are not allowed to provide abortions there, but we are at least required to offer to transfer the patient to a hospital that will provide abortions. I had a patient once who came in after their placenta had ruptured, meaning the fetus would not survive in the womb however was too young to make it outside of the womb. There was no way for the fetus to survive. Being in this state puts the patient at great risk for infection and/or bleeding, but we could not provide the medically necessary abortion until the fetal heart stopped beating. For whatever reason she did not want to transfer. So she was in the hospital for several days while we checked the fetal heart tones every few hours, every hour of which was a greater risk for the patient. Two points: I don't think entire hospitals should be religious. And second, no doctor who is against abortion is forced to provide one even where abortion is legal. Also, no nuns are involved in any of this. Sorry, that was long.

@@r6feeds826It isn’t a “half truth” to say that what he was describing IS the legal immigration system. Vance seems upset that Democrats reversed some of Trump’s changes that made successfully getting asylum in our country WAY more difficult, but it’s an outright lie to frame that as being upset about “illegal immigrants.” He’s upset about legal immigrants, and wants the process to get asylum to go back to being prohibitively difficult. He doesn’t want to be honest about that, because when you dig into it asylum is still not quick or easy to get, and people might realize how inhumane it is to cut off that particular stream of legal immigrants. It’s a channel specifically for those with no other options, who have been mistreated and abused in their home country - in many cases political refugees mistreated by their autocratic governments - who want to make a life here instead. People who are grateful for that opportunity and come in loving the US and viewing it as a place of safety and democracy. I actually think most Americans don’t want to leave asylum seekers out in the cold. But that’s really what Republicans would like, is few to no asylum seekers. They just know it’s unpopular to say out loud. And also arguably against the Geneva Convention, which requires signatory countries to accept asylum seekers.

Behaviors that led to the perpetrators doing what they do being swept under the rug. After years of underfunding and bad policy towards our schools they have become little slums where the real rule is the law of the jungle. And the schools that excel would have anyway because they can acquire the funding to get what they need despite the situation.

Usha:- Did you sleep with the Couch? Vance:- Darling. I'm focused on the future.

[@davidgoosen1633]

Says a lot about this woman , having children with this thing !

[@oldpossum57]

If Vance wants to fund school districts to fortify schools, I’d like cinema owners, shopping malls, grocery stores, playgrounds, concert venues to get subsidized to build the same security.

[@independent-ts6ys]

We already know we're voting for Harris Walz 2024. We just watched the debate to see how many times Vance was going to lie. Which he did. Over & over & over again. Offending millions of Americans with his lying.

[@davidhouston4810]

Thank you Stephen, you put the whole debacle in to perspective.

[@susanrodriguez2926]

I agree. I wish Walz was a little or forceful. I absolutely hate JD's smug, horrible smile. It always seems like he is looking down on people.

[@TracyAdams-ry2fc]

I hate that he wears more eyeliner than a Drag Queen!

[@TracyAdams-ry2fc]

Maybe Vance thinks he’s Elvis? 🤣🤣🤣💙💙💙

[@JJJulesToo]

Yah, I can see how people would think that, but Walz was pretty forceful for a nice Minnesotan.

[@angelikaopland7880]

Vance IS always looking down on people. It's what sociopaths & narcissists do.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love your show stephen colbert

[@Maya-Alexdog]

Walz on abortion was FABULOUS! Its healthcare between women and theit Dr. ONLY 😊.

[@dianewilliams5819]

WOOHOO By the end it looked like Vance is even voting for Walz 😆 🤣

[@LarryVillanueva-nb9iq]

Vance really displays his scamming prowess

[@leahslux6726]

Even Stevie Wonder can see that. He’s a con lying ass

[@billschipper1718]

I can't understand why Vance couldn't admit Trump's mistake. He stood up and just blamed Harris.

[@WWZenaDo]

Imitating his master Trump.

[@carolcarter782]

VANCE IS A LIAR. NEVER ANSWERED A QUESTION.

[@angelikaopland7880]

Lying is all they've got; that's why. Please try to catch up. Either way, VOTE BLUE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT PROBABLY DOES!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@julep71]

"That's a damning non-answer" -Tim Walz when Vance wouldn't say trump lost in 2020. That was the most powerful moment in the debate.

[@carolcarter782]

That is scarey. Vance will not certify the election

[@menghao737]

Walz could have been more aggressive, but he was noticeable nervous compared to a much smoother snakelike Vance, and probably did as well as he could given the situation, but when he called out Vance on his "damning non-answer", he won, imo. That was a cowardly, damning response and Tim Walz called it succinctly that!

[@GunterandthePenguins]

It was a very predictable stance from Shady Vance. I bet Tampon Tim had that one dialed up from his debate prep.

[@christophermitchum6829]

Crow buffet being served with humble pie at table grift...repugnicons eat for free😎🎃👹💥

[@streettoughfighting]

Walz admitted during the vetting process he’s a bad debater, it showed for sure. Ha

[@lenawagenfuehr53]

Bla blah blah, it's a debate between VP candidates. Who ever remembers those?

[@angelikaopland7880]

@@GunterandthePenguins Whose side are YOU on??? Remember: third party votes only help Trump...& Putin, & Putin knows it.

[@dotapark]

“Not allowed to fact check” is crazy 😂 what is moderators doing there, just open question card and cut the mic off when someone speaking too much? 😂

[@davidchalk8883]

Trump whined that it wasn't fair for his lies to exposed in real time! That's why they didn't expose Vance for the liar he is.
