A bill to ban abortion introduced in the Ohio state legislature requires doctors to “reimplant an ectopic pregnancy” into a woman’s uterus – a procedure that does not exist in medical science – or face charges of “abortion murder”. This is the second time practising obstetricians and gynecologists have tried to tell the Ohio legislators that the idea is currently medically impossible. Not surprisingly, these were Republican legislators.

Since a vasectomy is reversible, why not give baby boys a vasectomy, and get it reversed when they are ready to have kids? Sounds ridiculous right? So is forcing a 10 year old child to give birth to another child! You can't even foster or adopt kids without jumping through hoops! Why force a child or anyone else to be a parent of they can't even legally have one?
Scipio Africanus 3 years ago
This is a bad idea for multiple reasons: 1. Vasectomies don’t work 100% of the time 2. Reversing the vasectomy isn’t 100% effective 3. This is forcing people to do what you want to their bodies which is exactly what you are trying to avoid

Iran's haram police! There's no such thing as forcing a woman to wear the Hijab. It's her choice and if she decides against it, that causes no harm to anyone else. Even in Islam it is haram to force these things. This haram police is giving non-muslims the wrong idea about Islam. It is also affecting the iranian residents negatively.

But BRICS does not really want to deal with that sort of nonsense. 2. it puts people off, who might want to come to your country with tourism money. 3. it makes half your workforce unable to function and therefore reduces your potential economy by half. Religion helps with nothing.

The Virginia Department of Education recently released the 2022 Model Policies, which are basically guidelines for what policies schools are required to enact. These policies will require teachers to tell parents if a student uses a different name/pronouns at school: "school personnel shall keep parents fully informed about all matters that may be reasonably expected to be important to a parent, including, and without limitation, matters related to their child’s health, and social and psychological development." This is how they define transgender students: "a public school student whose parent has requested in writing, due to their child’s persistent and sincere belief that his or her gender differs with his or her sex, that their child be so identified while at school" They will also require students to use their legal name and pronouns aligned with their assigned sex, unless the parents provide express permission to do otherwise: "Requires that a minor with both parents living can only change his or her name upon the application of a parent, and the other parent must receive notice and have an opportunity to be heard if he or she objects to the change." Or, possibly, they have to legally change it: "School Division] shall change the legal name or sex in a student or former student’s official record only if a parent or eligible student submits a legal document, such as a birth certificate, state- or federal-issued identification, passport, or court order substantiating the student or former student’s change of legal name or sex." The policies will provide religious exemptions to students whose beliefs don't recognize transgender people: "[School Division] shall not compel [School Division] personnel or other students to address or refer to students in any manner that would violate their constitutionally protected rights" "The First Amendment forbids government actors to require individuals to adhere to or adopt any particular ideological beliefs. Practices such as compelling others to use preferred pronouns is premised on the ideological belief that gender is a matter of personal choice or subjective experience, not sex." Luckily there's a public comment period before they can be passed. Sorry this is so long.

It’s ridiculous that people will go so far to discriminate against trans students. What if a girl is named Tabitha and wants to go by Tabby instead? Does she also need parental and/or legal permission or does that only apply to the students schools want to discriminate against?

It only applies to students who want to change their name entirely, there's something about allowing "common nicknames and derivatives"

Terry Meza In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "Castle Doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home. Now listen to what she has to say... "I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed." Meza was quick to reassure that her bill would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves. Under her new law, “… the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible, he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner. In most instances, the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance reimburses his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."

Not accurate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Meza "In 2020, Meza introduced HB196, a bill to modify Texas' "Castle Doctrine" to require homeowners to retreat into their own homes if it can safely be done rather than using deadly force against those who are stealing property from outside their home."

Banning abortion “SAVE THE BABIES!!!” Why don’t we save them after they’ve been born, maybe from disease, or gun violence. Banning gay marriage “ITS UNNATURAL!!!!” It’s not, and they aren’t bothering you. Banning transgender people from sports “ITS UNFAIR” The majority of trans people entering in sports have already started hormone therapy, which alters their body and abilities. And even if they haven’t, it’s not a big deal. It’s like having a buff person on your team. Normal.

I agree with the first two - being a bisexual woman - but the third one is biologically, factually, and medically inaccurate. It is a simple fact that the vast majority of men are stronger than the vast majority of women – due to heightened testosterone, innate bodily advantages, and a 36% increase in muscle mass. No amount of wrong-sex hormone drugs will ever remove this advantage, and it is obvious looking at the statistics – take Lia Thomas, for example, he was rank #554 in the men’s swimming before participating in the women’s, and shot up to #1 – WITH wrong-sex hormone drugs! As well as this, the fastest women’s running track record is broken by 1200 men and boys EVERY YEAR.

I can confirm with a quote from a news article at the time 2012. Unfortunately the NYT is behind a paywall. "In an effort to explain his stance on abortion, Representative Todd Akin, the Republican Senate nominee from Missouri, provoked ire across the political spectrum on Sunday by saying that in instances of what he called “legitimate rape,” women’s bodies somehow blocked an unwanted pregnancy." -New York Times, Aug. 19, 2012. His point seemed to be if she got pregnant, was she really raped? The link if you're interested:https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/20/us/politics/todd-akin-provokes-ire-with-legitimate-rape-comment.html

Apparently it was on the verge of passing the Senate and becoming law until Professor C. A. Waldo, who was in town lobbying the legislature for funding for Purdue University, hurriedly spoke to several Senators. Also the newspapers found out about it, with predictable results. Between Waldo and the newspaper's ridicule the Senate " postponed the bill indefinitely", effectively killing it.
