Alabama just passed the most extreme abortion ban since Roe v. Wade. But it’s not just Alabama. We have now seen 15 state bans on abortion pass in the first five months of 2019.
There’s a reason these laws are so extreme — they’re meant to be a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, and to end the national right to access abortion we’ve had for more than four decades. Politicians are doing this in defiance of the American people, whose support for access to safe, legal abortion is an at an all-time high — and growing. In fact, 73% of Americans say they do not want to see Roe overturned.
Your health, not a politician’s beliefs, should drive important medical decisions. We’ll do whatever it takes to stop dangerous bans so that our patients can continue to access the care they need.
The Sahara sand viper (Cerastes vipera), is a small, venomous viper endemic to the deserts of North Africa and the Sinai Peninsula and it has a very special skill. It can hide itself by burying itself in the sand. They do this in order to wait for prey. They wiggle their tails to attract a potential meal and then lunge out from under the sand to chomp them.
Photographer Zac Herr had the brilliant idea of giving a captive-bred Sahara sand viper the opportunity to show off its special skill in a pool full of rainbow sprinkles instead of sand. pacinthesink provided the snek and jdrrising recorded the results:

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
