SHARIA LAW!


oh crap, wait, never mind...this is how the Christian god jebus demands it!

'Feticide'

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? And Jesus picked up a stone, and said "Aim for the face, everybody!"

"float test"

This is why I get so pissed off at people who pull the old "Democrats and Republicans are all the same" bullshit -- even if you hold that they are equally beholden to corporate interests, they are worlds apart when it comes to social issues, and failing to recognize that on Election Day just gives Republicans the power to do this sort of thing.

In case you were wondering, the judge (named Elizabeth Hurley of all things) was appointed by Governor Pence (R-IN). You know, the one who's currently involved in that harsh anti-LGBT legislation.

If you don't vote, you are complicit.

Right after I heard about this story, I was flipping channels on TV and came across an ABC news report on how people are abusing the "emotional support animal" thing to take their pets with them on airplanes.

That was some crack investigative journalism into a major social problem there, I tell you.

(stars for evil)

Romania had similar laws under Nicolae Ceaușescu.

'Ceausescu made mockery of family planning. He forbade sex education. Books on human sexuality and reproduction were classified as "state secrets," to be used only as medical textbooks. With contraception banned, Romanians had to smuggle in condoms and birth-control pills. Though strictly illegal, abortions remained a widespread birth-control measure of last resort. Nationwide, Western sources estimate, 60 percent of all pregnancies ended in abortion or miscarriage.

The government's enforcement techniques were as bad as the law. Women under the age of 45 were rounded up at their workplaces every one to three months and taken to clinics, where they were examined for signs of pregnancy, often in the presence of government agents - dubbed the "menstrual police" by some Romanians. A pregnant woman who failed to "produce" a baby at the proper time could expect to be summoned for questioning. Women who miscarried were suspected of arranging an abortion. Some doctors resorted for forging statistics. "If a child died in our district, we lost 10 to 25 percent of our salary," says Dr. Geta Stanescu of Bucharest. "But it wasn't our fault: we had no medicine or milk, and the families were poor."'

Even the court artist doesn't like her. He drew her face WAY fatter than it actually is.

I literally want the UN to step in on this as a violation of human rights.

indiana, michigan's tampon

I used to live in Louisville and I recall that entire state "up there" went completely bonkers during NCAA finals.

I have a little personal hobby where I come up with alternative state mottos based on current events, and "What the fuck is going on over there?" just became Indianas.
