When Stranger Things premiered in 2016, it was a cultural force. Foreign DJs gushed over the lush 80s soundtrack, fashionistas loved the clothing, and the world became obsessed with the idea of usi…
..."Currently, the state has a six-week abortion ban, signed into law in May 2023, with limited exceptions for rape and incest up to 12 weeks, for fetal anomalies and to save the life of the pregnant person.
However, S.323, also called the "Unborn Child Protection Action," which is currently being debated in a state subcommittee, would repeal the rape, incest and fetal anomalies exceptions as well as make abortion a felony comparable to "the homicide of a person born alive," which, if it clears a series of legislative hurdles, could send people who have an abortion to prison for up to 30 years.
If the bill clears the committee, there will be a few other legislative steps before it's debated during the state legislature's regular session. ... advocates are continuing to put pressure on lawmakers by having constituents call up their representatives, sharing personal stories of people who have struggled to get abortion care in harrowing situations and legal reasonings behind why some consider the bill unconstitutional. ...

I ended up wandering in the woods for a total of two hours trying to find my way to the highway. I knew where the highway was, but the hiking trails didn't follow straight lines.
The fact I ran away three times as a preteen/teenager and spent the whole time either walking or taking the county bus was a pretty good sign that I didn't like the stifling, car-centric world of suburbia. :P
