They’re really opposed to breast reductions out there

From the sometimes strange and sometimes frightening list of search terms that bring people to this blog I have drawn these little tidbits.

That one appears rather neutral. No problem there. But then the ‘fun’ starts.

Vested Interests

Laurelin:
if you are a consumer of pornography, you have a vested interest in it, you benefit from it, and therefore your word on how wonderful and harmless it is is seriously compromised.
And:
Survivors of sexual violence have a vested interest in opposing pornography. Without it, they would benefit from not having their abuse shown over and [...]

Uganda to outlaw circumcision

From News24.com
Uganda will pass a law banning female genital mutilation, which is rampant among pastoralist tribes in the country’s eastern region, the president said in a statement on Friday.
“The way God made it, there is no part of a human body that is useless,” President Yoweri Museveni told a gathering in the eastern Karamoja district.
“Now [...]

They got him in the end…

George Tiller, a doctor running a clinic handling abortions and especially what he’s become famous (and sometimes reviled) for: late-term abortions, has been shot. He’s been shot before, but has continued his work, but yesterday they got him. They shot him, and shot him dead this time. I’m a day late, I know this, I [...]

Adoption: A perspective oft neglected

Over at Shakesville an anonymous Shaker has written a very moving piece about the perspective of the birth-mother to an adopted child. I highly recommend this.
Birth mothers are a demographic seldom heard from, and then generally only in the context of how soon they want to “replace” their lost child. This is a huge WTF [...]

A recent proposal has been made here in Denmark, and I am so disturbed by it I hardly know where to begin. I managed to find a news site in English who had the story.
New legislation could allow pregnant alcohol and drug abusers to be committed against their will in order to protect their unborn [...]

Everything In Your Power

I’m a regular reader over at Heartless Bitches International. They have many good articles up, many good rants. I especially like the Rants and the Auntie Dote sections. Everything posted on the site has been through admin approval. But there is one section where small disgusting things slip through the cracks. It’s in the Pukefest. [...]

Babies having babies

Everyone’s heard of the story out of UK. 13 year old Alfie and 15 year old Chantelle becoming parents. And I’m sure they’ll try their hardest. Only days later a stay emerged here in Denmark. Two 13 year olds are having a child together, except they’re no longer together. The news quote the boy as [...]

Medical journal leaked

That’s one of today’s headline. Well, actually, the headline goes: Abortion journal leaked.
A young woman was at Skejby hospital in January to have an abortion. Abortion is free and legal here in DK, so there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it seems she had not informed her boyfriend of this, as is her right, but [...]
