Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Well sort of... the purpose of the constitution is to limit federal gov infringement on fundamental rights, the constitution does not provide or grant rights. There really is no such thing as "Constitutional rights" there are however clear limits on government infringement on fundamental rights.
The Anti-Federalist pushed of the Bill of Rights to specifically mention some of these with the 10th Amendment (often forgotten as being the most important) making it clear that anything not specifically stated in the document is relegated to the individual states when there is a question.
Regardless, abortion was never part of the conversation. To the letter of the law, it would be a 10th Amendment issue. I would argue murder in any form is not really applicable here, but for the sake of conversation at the very least it is a 10th Amendment issue.
Like every other BS thing they have done since the end of the "The War", the illegal 13th and specifically 14th Amendments have been used to justify whatever pile of shit they think up.

It'd be just another show like NCIS or L&O where only right wing extremism exists and the rare once-every-five-seasons a left winger goes heywire, they give them a sympathetic background and end the show with the cast in doubt over if what the criminal did was really all that bad, and if maybe the true evil is America...

I don't think this counts as "celebrated," but there is the ordeal of bitter water which is basically a ritual that a pregnant woman accused of adultery had to perform and was supposed to result in abortion if she had, indeed, been unfaithful.

Babies are being murderrd because there is no religious conviction or ideological conviction in stopping it. America Taliban gang is what you need.
Funny enough Howard Stern believes telling women no to abortion is nazism when nazis were eugenicists okay with involuntary sterilization of folks considered subhuman.

A very interesting article re the growing numbers of Chinese with Alzheimer's disease. Believe this is going to be a huge thing for the CCP at all levels to deal with, and they are not prepared to do so. The numbers involved are scary, not just in terms of people, but in all the costs involved, unless the CCP just warehouses these people/leaves them to die.

The first time Chen Shaohua went missing and was picked up by police, the 68-year-old's family put it down to confusion.
When he disappeared a second time, they realised he was deeply unwell -- but it was already too late.
"We missed the early signs," daughter Chen Yuanyuan explained, adding: "For several years our mother complained he was lying... but we couldn't judge because we haven't lived with them for years."
Doctors diagnosed Chen with Alzheimer's Disease, the most common form of dementia, where people suffer impaired cognitive function including memory loss, eventually needing full-time care.
Approximately 10 million people have been diagnosed with the degenerative -- and incurable -- brain disorder in China, which accounts for approximately a quarter of the world's cases.
As the country's population is rapidly aging, this figure is expected to soar to 40 million by 2050, according to a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
The report warned this surge in cases would cost the economy $1 trillion each year in medical expenses and lost productivity as caregivers drop out of the workforce.
The World Health Organisation says that while dementia is not "an inevitable consequence of biological aging", the strongest risk factor for getting it is age.
And while this is a growing problem worldwide -- experts say China is poorly prepared for the challenge.
The United States has 6.2 million Alzheimer's patients and 73,000 beds in specialist treatment centres, while China has double the cases but fewer than 200 beds.
"No healthcare problem looms larger in China than Alzheimer's Disease," said Wei Shouchao, a neurologist from Guangdong medical university.
"It is the fastest-growing major illness on the mainland, and we are not at all equipped to deal with it."
- 'We never suspected' -
When Chen started misplacing his keys or wallet, his family thought it was just forgetfulness.
The first time he went missing, it took 40 hours to find him. Police picked him up after someone reported an attempted break-in.
"(It) looked like the place where we used to live. Dad was confused. He forgot we are now in Beijing... luckily no one assaulted him," his daughter told AFP.
Uncertain of what to do next, they bought him a watch that could help them track him via an app, but when he went missing again after taking it off, they realised he needed medical help.
"We never suspected Alzheimer's because we didn't have a family history and he is so young," said Chen Yuanyuan.
As millions migrate to cities, old parents in rural China are "left behind and left vulnerable", said He Yao, from the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics Diseases.(Affect of the "one-child" policy. Way back when there would likely have been other children's families to live with. -JS)
Lack of awareness among families means patients go without access to proper medical care for years, he said.
"This is a missed opportunity because early interventions can slow the progression of the disease," he said.
Last year, Beijing announced the Healthy China 2030 action plan that aims to roll out community-level screening programs for the early detection of Alzheimer's or dementia and raise public awareness of the disease.
However, critics say the proposals do not include details about training doctors, building dedicated care facilities or increasing the capacity of public hospitals to treat dementia patients.
"Rural doctors aren't trained for early diagnosis," said Wei.
"Even Beijing has only one care home with staff trained to handle Alzheimer's patients."
- Missing parents -
Chen is a former army musician who plays several classical Chinese instruments including the bamboo flute.
He is physically fit and has a clear memory of things that happened decades ago. On the surface, the only indicator that something is amiss is when he talks of past events as if they are happening now.
"Chairman Mao attended one of our performances," he told AFP, referring to a concert in the central city of Wuhan in the 1960s.
Dementia patients often need round-the-clock care, and the physical and mental toll on caregivers can be significant, particularly if there is little professional help.
Chen's son Chen Yunpeng has a busy job at a logistics company but as there are no community facilities he must instead bring his father to the warehouse where he juggles full-time work with keeping his father safe.
And when he disappeared, the family had to rely on a volunteer group that helps find elderly people reported missing.
Over a dozen people -- including retired civil servants, teachers and housewives -- rushed to the site where Chen was last seen and helped police pore over hours of CCTV footage from public cameras to find clues about where he went.
The team says it has helped find about 300 missing Alzheimer's patients since 2016.
"We get calls almost every day about missing parents from families across the country," said Su Xiao, head of Beijing Zhiyuan Emergency Rescue Services Center.
"The real danger is of the elderly being trapped in abandoned construction sites or falling into open pits or being out during bad weather."

This video is the moment the CIA turns inwards to start persecuting non-minorities in their own country. Now that they've shown they're interested in woke culture, there's no reason why they wouldn't start solely focusing all their efforts on fucking over as many Americans as possible & totally ignore all our adversaries in different countries.
Oh no of course not, that would be costly.
They'll just holocaust them all.

Just a friendly reminder....the SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES has clearly shown signs of having this degenerative disease, and yet, the media are all like:
Also would like to share my own personal anecdote about Alzheimer's for those who haven't seen it already, since I've been unfortunate enough to see it destroy a close family member first-hand:
An update on that, actually: she's passed on. It's honestly a big relief for us, particularly for my grandmother, since she doesn't have to care for her 24/7 anymore. I hope wherever she is, she's spending the time she couldn't spend here on Earth living her best afterlife.

They don't have much of a choice. Establishment Dems are aging out with no one ready to take the helm. Pointing this out would be disastrous to rank and file because chaos will reign.
