You need to be the hardest of hard core activists and glory-mongers to end up as the named plaintiff in a judicial activist lawsuit aiming at striking down abortion laws:

Hospitals in Indiana, according to Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an OB-GYN currently employed with IU Health who provides care at its associated hospitals and clinics, administer deep sedation to women receiving second-trimester abortions. [Id. at 39:8-10].
Dr. Bernard testified that she would refer her patients in need of first-trimester abortion services to an APC, if she were legally permitted to do so. [Id. at 37:1-20].
Dr. Bernard testified that she encounters at least one patient a month whom she must refer out of state for second-trimester services. [Id. at 34:20-22].
And, while Dr. Bernard testified that she would refer patients to APCs for first-trimester aspiration abortion, no other physician performing abortions at Indiana's licensed clinics testified that they would be willing to delegate aspiration abortion procedures to an APC. Thus, the impact of this physician-only law on access to aspiration abortion services has not been shown.

The whole liberal media breathlessly repeated this woman's claim that:
Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Indianapolis, received a call last Monday, three days after the Court's ruling, from a child abuse doctor in Ohio who had a 10-year-old girl in their office who was six weeks and three days pregnant, and therefore ineligible to receive an abortion in the state, according to a report from The Indianapolis Star.
SHE WOULD NOT EVEN NAME THE DOCTOR WHO SUPPOSEDLY GAVE HER THE REFERRAL, so that there would be no way to corroborate her story. She has also gone full incognito mode after her false story blew up across the national news with no verification or fact checking, despite the fact that she's a gigantic attention whore and would LOVE to be the face of abortion rights if her story had been true, she's gone full incognito mode and deleted her personal website and her social media. The only reason she would do this is if her story was a lie and she didn't want to face difficult questions that might expose it as such.
Called it. Fake AF, every detail.
Just like Roe v. Wade itself, founded on lies & hollow emotional manipulation to the core.
So she told a lie to gain clout, but the lie blew up way bigger than she'd thought it could, and now she's hiding and waiting for the world to forget.
And they will, give it 6 weeks.
What does Dr even mean if someone this peabrained can obtain the title
I can't remember where but there was a graphic claiming that the average IQ for someone obtaining a Masters was 110, and I think doctorate was only a little higher. Bachelors was 100. The government made it illegal for IQ tests to be used in hiring which led to businesses using degrees as proxies for IQ (great for universities bad for literally everyone else). Now a Bachelors basically just means you can probably tie your shoes. While a doctorate means you're spending almost a decade of your life proving you're likely one standard deviation smarter than the average person.
I'm not even sure if it really matters. It isn't like corporations want high IQ people now. It might even be a liability. You can't have an outbreak of wrong think without the ability to think.
Basically we need parallel systems and we need them yesterday.
Realistically it likely varies enormously by field. For example, a PhD in English or education probably doesn't say much at all about intelligence. A bachelors or masters in some STEM field probably means more. And if you have a PhD in particle physics you're probably more than one standard deviation above the norm.
The stem field thing isn’t true anymore. They’re a bunch of ideologues faking all their papers for government money now too.
Not saying there aren't plenty of cases where that's a thing, but when I got my STEM degrees (5 years ago), the coursework was still quite rigorous and wasn't really corrupted in any way. And I'm hyper sensitive to that stuff.
I think you're largely referring to an abundance of corruption and plenty of unscrupulous people taking advantage of a shitty incentive structure to enrich themselves. The way I see it, this is indeed a real thing but can and does coexist with the notion that a STEM degree says a lot more about one's intelligence than an English degree.
Every time I see a commercial for Grammarly, I think about people like this.
Those commercials make me wonder if people who have to read a lot of emails from a variety of people can detect text that's been run through Grammarly.
It’s like that old joke. What do you call a med student with all Cs? Doctor.
Absolutely nothing.
To add to that, there's a Twitter thread by somebody who I think counts as a "nobody", or I'd have already linked it, that details quite a few off details:
There's a heap more on the Twitter thread, if I can work out the notability rules I might post it myself later on...
Also, the Ohio Revised Code requires doctors conduct a few things for abortions for minors. Mostly it relates to getting paternal approval and documentation.
There's so many things that would suggest she's allowed to get an abortion, including:
This is one of those pretty standard things where Ohio is a Red state, and Leftists literally can't imagine that Red states aren't 100% Handmaid's Tale. Might as well have said that the doctor on the other end of the phone was crying and yelling "We're in MAGA country now!"
I believed you missed the point where the phone call was interrupted by a General Lee airhorn baring outside the doctor's office, yes.
Them Duke boys are at it again!
afaik the notability rule is only on reddit. the rule on the sidebar here is only 500 followers and idk if that's even enforced for comments.
I don't know that it's even enforced for posts in general. There have been posts just showing tweets from randos with few followers.
True believers know that evidence is just another word for being an infidel. How dare you want The Left to speak "truthfully" and use "evidence"! That is extremist right-wing talk!
This is why i think it's fake. Did they ever find out more info about this
nah she is in hiding and not taking any calls
It certainly explains why nobody in the media bothered to inquire about a child rapist.
You mean a bunch of leftists lied to push an agenda?

I called this one!! There was no traceable info on the alleged rape. Obviously the victim (if she existed) would be anonymous but everything else should have been verifiable.
if she was raped, where's the rapist? or the police comment about an active investigation?
