@ProPublica Illogic is prevalent in USA.
@ProPublica Is this the same “expert” who thinks women can’t get pregnant if they’re raped because “a woman’s body has a way of shutting that whole thing down”?
@grammasaurus @ProPublica no that was a lawmaker from my state, Ga. Also no qualifications to make that assessment
@ProPublica a potentially complimentary piece on execution methods https://youtu.be/eirR4FHY2YY

@ProPublica These freaks are pissing me off 😡😡
@ProPublica is it common for a witness to be paid, and paid so much by the state? That seems like a huge conflict of interest
@ProPublica That state has gone completely bonkers. Bringinb back the death penalty, abortion rights squashed, book banning, anti-women, the separation of powers completely obliterated. Not a good look. Headed by a man with the emotional maturity of a piece of paper and the charisma of one to boot.
@ProPublica There's an easy way to end the question of whether midazolam works properly in executions. Have The State quit killing people.
@ProPublica "We are small government, pro-life conservatives! That's why we pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a loon with a degree to justify to a judge our torturing of people to death."
@ProPublica All that mattered to the politicians is he said what they wanted to hear.🤦‍♂️😡
@ProPublica And his name was not Joseph Ladapo?
@ProPublica who the hell goes to a pharmacist for a physical pathology assessment and then demands no evidence from to support his claim?
