re: Twidiots
oh god, just...what...i...
it's like getting pissed off at Twilight because Anne Rice invented vampires. or D&D because J.K. Rowling invented wizards. is there something in the ink in those books?

re: Virginia
i *love* the whole "vengeance from god" argument. it just makes sense every. single. time. and it's never ridiculous or unfounded or circumstantially motivated.

The Next Anti-Choice Target: Miscarriage Wrote:A new Utah law could charge women with homicide if they miscarry, making women's rights advocates concerned that women will be brought up on murder charges for drinking, failing to wear a seatbelt, or falling down the stairs.

Link to full story

If you're a pregnant woman and fall down the stairs... you can go to prison FOR LIFE.


Edit:
The text of the bill can be found here. What boggles the mind is that it's ok to knowingly refuse medical treatment that leads to the death of a fetus, but forgetting to wear a seat belt is homicide.

Uhmmm .... Falcon Punch anyone?

[SageGenesis]

That's actually the reason why the bill was drafted: a girl, 7 months pregnant, paid somebody $150 to beat her in order to miscarry on purpose.

Which is good for its own place in the Cabinet, really.

Belphanior Wrote:I for one am baffled particularly by the implication that women with small breasts somehow encourage pedophilia. What a fucked up message that sends to women: "your maturity depends on the size of your tits." And what about small-breasted women who have a boyfriend/husband? Must they now believe he's a pervert who imagines them to be a child while they have sex? It's so messed up on so many levels.

beetje late reactie want ik kom hier niet zo vaak maar vaak worden die meisjes wel echt neergezet als 13-jarigen die gezellig in de badkuip aan het spetteren zijn met elkaar, compleet met idd kale flamoesjes, felgekleurde onderbroekjes en 2 staartjes in hun haar. mgoed, als ze d

Yes it's that time again. If you followed the news about this kind of thing, you'll know the Vatican is under fire for alleged pedophilia from some of their clergy and the Vatican's response. Well, this is a good one.

JSOnline Wrote:Weakland says he didn't know priests' abuse was crime.

In the early years of the sex abuse scandal in Milwaukee, retired Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland says in his soon-to-be released memoir, he did not comprehend the potential harm to victims or understand that what the priests had done constituted a crime.

"We all considered sexual abuse of minors as a moral evil, but had no understanding of its criminal nature," Weakland says in the book, "A Pilgrim in a Pilgrim Church," due out in June.

Weakland said he initially "accepted naively the common view that it was not necessary to worry about the effects on the youngsters: either they would not remember or they would 'grow out of it.' "

Really dude? Your little rape victims would just "grow out of it?" Come on. Come on!

[Jazzper-11]

Wow. Solid defence. yeah.
And the whole "we didn't know it was a crime" is a nice touch as well.

[Larien]

"...either they would not remember or they would 'grow out of it'."

*shudder*

For a child not to remember something like that, they had to have been very young. As in "barely able to walkyet " young.

[voh]

:/

That man needs to be beaten with a pointy rock. Heavily.

Contrast: this tidbit to this one.

Yay, Catholicism.

Elle MacPherson promotes consumption of illegal rhino horn Wrote:Despite a number of scientific studies showing that rhino horn has no curative properties, supermodel, entrepreneur, and recent host of Britain's Next Top Model, Elle Macpherson, says she ingests powdered rhino horn because: "[it] works for me". In an interview with The Times Online via Twitter, Elle Macpherson says the illegal substance tastes like "crushed bone and fungus".

Parachuting donkey terrifies children, Wrote:Beachgoers got a shock when they saw a donkey soaring in the blue skies over the balmy beaches on the Sea of Azov in southern Russia last week.

Attached to a parachute, the animal screamed in fear as it circled over holidaymakers who were sunbathing on a beach in the Cossack village of Golubitskaya in the Krasnodar region.

A regional police spokeswoman says the donkey ended up in the skies as a result of an impromptu advertising campaign by several Russian entrepreneurs to attract beachgoers to their private beach.

Instead they attracted the attention of regional police who learned of the flying donkey earlier this week and launched a probe.

"The donkey screamed and children cried," regional police spokeswoman Larisa Tuchkova said.

"No-one had the brains to call police."

Instead people reached for their cameras and bombarded a local newspaper with phone calls.

"It was put up so high into the sky that the children on the beach cried and asked their parents: 'Why did they tie a doggy to a parachute?'" the newspaper Taman wrote this week.

"The donkey landed in an atrocious manner: it was dragged several metres along the water, after which the animal was pulled out half-alive onto the shore."

Ja, ik las het net. Russische idioten. Vooral dit vind ik typisch Russisch (het heeft ook geen zin om de politie te bellen):

Woman Jailed for Getting Pregnant Dies From Medical Neglect, Wrote:Thrown in jail for getting pregnant? That seems like a particularly absurd violation of women's reproductive rights. But it's actually an established policy in Allegheny County, PA. Cara reports at the Curvature that, for Amy Lynn Gillespie, becoming pregnant meant violating the terms of her work release under probation, and getting thrown in jail. Yet this story comes to an even more tragic ending, because Gillespie died while in custody from advanced pneumonia.
