Kentucky lawmakers gave final approval Thursday to a bill stripping the state’s Democratic governor of any role in picking someone to occupy a U.S. Senate seat if a vacancy occurred in the home state of 82-year-old Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

Yes, I hear what you are saying about having kids for sure. I remember how my brain changed after having kids. I started to experience fear in way that I didn’t before I had kids. Also, abstract notions of “right” and “wrong” are far less important to me than what will be beneficial, or at least not harmful, to my children. It simplifies certain issues. For example, I have daughters. Having daughters, I couldn’t care less about abstract debates about when life begins or the morality of abortion or what’s best for society as a whole. Fuck that. My much simplified perspective is now this: Any motherfucker that wants to infringe on women’s rights in any way is my enemy. That’s some primate dad logic right there, but it is what it is.
