My friend and I were talking about suicide.

I told her most of the time it’s because of kids being bullied.

She said not many people get bullied that she sees.

You don’t have to see it for it to be happening.

I want to show her something.

Reblog if you’ve ever been bullied.

If you were ever called fat, ugly, a hoe, slut, bitch, anything that hurt you.

If you were ever shoved around.

Made fun of for being yourself.

Beat up.

Anything to hurt you.

When Archie is too progressive for you, that’s how science identifies you as an earlier species. All those people asking questions about your protest aren’t reporters, they’re anthropologists trying to work out why you didn’t die off before we became Homo sapiens. And if they said so, you’d be more upset about the “homo” part. Instead of evolving from monkeys like the rest of us, your only improvement is flinging shit metaphorically instead of physically. And since several species of monkey enjoy homosexuality and don’t say anything, they’re two steps ahead of the American Family Association.

Indian High Court Rules That the Decision to Abort a Pregnancy Rests with the Wife, Not the Husband »

somepolitics:

In a significant decision, the Punjab and Haryana High Court last week ruled that the right to abort a pregnancy in a marriage rests with the wife and not husband.

“A woman is not a machine in which raw material is put and a finished product comes out. She should be mentally prepared to conceive, continue the same and give birth to a child. The unwanted pregnancy would naturally affect the mental health of the pregnant woman…” said the court.

Stressing that marital intimacy between a couple does not automatically translate to the woman’s consent to child bearing, Justice Jitendra Chauhan said, “Mere consent to conjugal rights does not mean consent to give birth to a child for her husband.” Welcoming the judgement, Jagmati Sanwan, All India Democratic Women’s Association national vice-president said, “If the family conditions are unsuitable, no woman would like to give birth to a child because after all, she is the one who takes care of the children for all practical purposes. We see around us that fathers often desert their families after a couple of deliveries. But children become a part and parcel of the mother’s physical and emotional world. She invests much into their well being and she alone suffers. Hence, the rights of whether to give birth or not, should be with her.”

Take note, America.

What this forgets is that the law protects the eggs of the sea turtle from human poachers.

This law does not protect those eggs from the sea turtles themselves. If a sea turtle so chose, it could dig up its own eggs and eat them and there’s nothing the law would do to prevent that.

The sea turtle could even just decide not to bury its eggs, or to otherwise not care for them. Again, the law doesn’t prevent that from happening.
