On: Did an Abortion Ban Cost a Young Texas Woman Her Life?

No [0]. It's a sad story about a morbidly obese woman who went through a high risk pregnancy without insurance and without following doctor's instructions for one of her critical medications. This is the sad reality of illegal immigration. The only healthcare illegal immigrants have access to is the emergency room, and the doctors and facilities there are not equipped to deal with issues like high risk pregnancies.

But it surely will sooner or later. Probably sooner. Bans on abortions haven't stopped women from trying to get abortions since pre-modern times.

If I am to guess the first victim will be someone who can't afford to go to a another state. Yay for the war on the poor.

Twice as big as we needed to solve the problem and not well adopted ?

On: OpenIndiana Illumos Distro

[throwaway0x4]

What are some reasons to use Sloaris based operating systems over Linux these days?

[yjftsjthsd-h → throwaway0x4]

Any illumos distro will be better at ZFS than anything Linux-based. Granted, the amount will vary by distro; last I saw, Ubuntu had relatively good support. Beyond that, I'm personally quite fond of the overall design and polish of openindiana, at least. One example is how it automatically handles ZFS snapshots and boot environments with the package manager - all the pieces are there to do that on other systems, but setting up the integration is harder.
