Completely agree on people not understanding statistics. See: most of the polls showing a slight edge to Harris, but with a 3 to 4 point margin of error, being taken to mean that Harris had it in the bag.

SOMETHING HAPPENING 49 OUT OF 100 TIMES IS STILL VERY LIKELY!

They won't need to pack the court. Alito and Thomas will retire in about 18 months, just after having upheld a national abortion ban. They'll view it as their crowning achievement and walk into the sunset as GOP heroes. Then they'll be replaced with like-minded ideologues in their mid-40s to ensure that the right wing of the court will remain intact for at least the next 20 years.

If they packed the court, they will have just opened the door for Dems to do the same. Instead, they'll leave it at 9 and dare the Dems to do something about it.

Don't forget the simple greed from the corps.

The first hospital diagnosed her with strep throat without investigating her sharp abdominal cramps. At the second, she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave.

Also remember (as you clearly wrote many times) that we're talking increased risk, not causation. We were 24 and 27 when my autistic daughter was born. Sometimes you just get dealt a rough hand.

Nope. Unfortunately, like so many other things related to US elections, it's a patchwork that varies by state.
