Various Random Stuff
Jan. 4th, 2010 03:45 pmRe: Doctor Who - I'm still sad, though I see that our satellite provider is going to rerun New-Who and maybe Torchwood too.
Though I have the TW DVD's and most of DW on CD, it's always nice to watch the shows in an actual teevee screen.
Thus, I'm happier.
Things are a tad sleepy around these parts, I mean yeah the Air Force seemed to attack Gaza over the weekend, but "only" four people died and there was no declaration of a bigger emergency, so perhaps not starting the year with a bang is a good foretelling.
Here's to hoping.
It would appear that abortion is finally becoming an issue in the mainstream media. It appears that there has been a 10% drop in the abortion rate from 2000 to 2008, which the article says is to do with the fact for the tighter restrictions on late term abortions.
Yet, there are still these stupid, idiotic and shaming committees that require women to be paraded through in order to get a legal abortion.
I can understand the restrictions on late term abortions, even though I don't think there's anything morally wrong with a woman getting one - life in utero is still potential, while the life of the person carrying said life in utero is, well, in vivo.
Now to carry on the little lesson, de facto many women get illegal abortions in private OB/GYN practices.
This is more expensive and it's believed that married women are usually the ones who go to these private practices because they are usually denied an abortion in the committee.
I mean, really, c'mon! How dare a married woman of child baring years not want that precious life.
If she didn't want it, she should have taken precautions.
Because the Pill is enough - it's not.
Because an IUD is fool proof - only to a degree.
Because a condom is used in marriage - as far as I'm aware, only if one of the partners is sick with an STD.
Regardless, it's a stupid, backward and misogynistic procedure that women who don't want to have children are forced to go through - for daring to actually decide what to do with their bodies.
Now, I'm going for a walk.
