Susan Collins voted for #S311.
You should be mad about this bill, whether you are pro-choice, pro-life, or DGAF.
This bill was written to make people angry, not make good law. I don't have the time to line by line this one, but here are highlights.

The entire purpose of this bill was to divide people into feral pro-life or pro-choice camps...but it's actually crap law. Why you say?
A live birth is a live birth. A live birth creates the same laws for infants that apply to others.

You'll hear pro-life people yelling "BUT KERMIT GOSNELL".
Yeah, exactly, he committed crimes and was found guilty. This bill creates another level of law for something that is already illegal.

Robin Anne Reid on âThe Grammar of Historical Memory in Tolkienâs Legendarium: The Tale of Beren and LĂșthienâ #s311 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien 
Reid: project on computational linguistics comparing âTinuvielâ, âBeren and LĂșthienâ, and âAragorn and Arwenâ in terms of text statistics, archaisms, geographical terminology, and âkeynessâ. #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
Reid: more onomastic richness (in terms of place and geography) in Beren and LĂșthien, rather than Tinuviel. Evidence of the development of #Tolkienâs worldbuilding? #S311 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds
Nathan Fredrickson on âInvented Language and Invented Religion: Tolkienâs Innovative Symbolic Systems and New Religious Movementsâ #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
Fredrickson: thereâs an essentialist humanistic way of thinking in #Tolkien, but also a critical, almost post-modernist emphasis on the constructiveness of things.
Fredrickson: linguistic invention has been neglected in fiction-based religions. There is some acknowledgment but not a proper consideration in #Tolkien-inspired religious movements.
Yvette Kisor on âTolkienâs âThe Lay of Aotrou and Itrounâ and The Lay of Leithianâ #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
Kisor: The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun and The Lay of Leithien were written at the same time and they both contain elements of sexual desire and rapaciousness. #s311 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds
Kisor: The encounter of Beren and LĂșthien in the Lay is intensely physical, as opposed to the text of the Book of Lost Tales. #s311 #imc2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
J. Patrick Pazdziora on ââI will give you a nameâ: Sentient Objects in Tolkienâs Fictionâ. #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
Pazdziora: Kullervo is, in reality, âoldâ #Tolkien - pre-war, pre-Middle-earth. The paper will focus on animism, esp. Kullervoâs talking sword. #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
Pazdziora: the speaking sword is the most tangible link between Kullervo and Narn-i-chin-HĂșrin - but it doesnât occur in the Kalevala. #s311 #IMC2018 @IMC_Leeds #Tolkien
