Article title is surprisingly not misleading, but has essentially nothing to do with changes since Rowe v. Wade. The woman self induced an abortion at 25 weeks and 4 days (in October of 2021) after taking abortion pills without the oversight of a physician which violated preexisting 20 week abortion bans and self induced (non physician monitored) abortion bans.

South Carolina has draconian and dystopian laws pending and working their way through the legislature currently, but this particular incident is not the beginning of the hellscape we know is coming.

The fetus was passed the point of viability outside of the womb and you can argue about the morality of what she did endlessly, but at the end of the day she was arrested for breaking old and established laws within the state.

If the snow is soft/fresh deep ruts form at each gate because that is where all the racers turn. Deep ruts give the racers with low number bibs a huge advantage. If a racer gets in trouble, ruts can act like a ski jump and launch the racer.

Often places will inject a race hill with water and let the water freeze solid. An icy course makes it fairer for all racers. It is also much safer. This is done for all serious races.

Source: I have spent many hours pushing new snow off of race courses. You can do it if there isn't too much snow. These people were overwhelmed with too much snow.

It’s not excessive.

She was charged with almost 800 counts. Each count has an arbitrary bond of $25k. If you add up the total amount of bond for each count you end up with $18 million.

When she has an actual bond hearing the judge will probably overturn the arbitrary bond number and award something more reasonable.
