Young mother denied an abortion

samedi 29 janvier 2022 à 07:19

A Polish woman carrying two fetuses needed an abortion to save her life, because one of them had died. The other fetus still lived, and doctors feared prosecution if they aborted the dead one, so they waited. The other fetus died, and they did the abortion, but during that time her condition had deteriorated, leading to her death.

Now her death has become a cause to mobilize Polish women for abortion rights.

I've read that the Catholic Church initially decided to oppose abortion, in the 19th century, on the grounds that the fetus might be male, and males (even mere fetuses) were of higher value than any female.

Teaching not to use misogynist swear words

vendredi 28 janvier 2022 à 23:49

A man in India is trying to teach people not to swear at people using misogynist words.

I agree with the man's goal. I don't like attacking people based on their race or sex, and I never do that, because I don't associate rage or frustration with demographic groups. I fortunately escaped being taught that bad habit.

However, the law that prohibits all swear words (misogynist or not) is unjust -- fucking evil censorship.
