HSBC Divests From New Coal Projects Everywhere … Except Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

Those who claim that some countries have a legitimate "need" for more fossil fuel extraction don't understand the urgency of the danger.

Hollywood and abortion

mercredi 30 mai 2018 à 02:00

Since the 1990s, Hollywood has presented abortion as dangerous, traumatic, and morally inferior, spreading the message that the right thing for a pregnant woman to do is have a baby.

That message builds support for banning abortion.

It is also the direct opposite of the truth. The truth is that having a baby is more dangerous and more traumatic. It is more likely to lead to lasting physical injury, more likely to cause depression, and more likely to be fatal.

In addition, if you're among the 40% of Americans who couldn't handle an emergency expense of $400, it is very likely to land you and the child in the gutter.

Having a baby is also morally inferior in many cases. It contributes to future global heating more than everything else you are likely to do in your life.

If you are not in the position to assure a child the food, shelter, education, medical care, and calm family environment that every child needs and deserves, the right thing to do is not make one.
