Men controlling women's bodies

[Jeanhatchet]

This report is frightening.

Globally powerful men are determined to control women's reproductive rights and this is accelerating.

Many of them are using women to do so. They are using Conservative/Christian women to do so. Even feminists who have been "cured".

Racist as well. Is it just that animal fears take over people’s minds as your future security looks less secure. You lose civilisation when civilisation seems to break down?

Add in the increased demands for more surrogacy (in the UK anyway with moves to "bring laws into the 21C") from both gays and trans teenagers who cheerfully chat about losing their fertility not being a problem as they will be able to have a surrogate baby in the future, with demands for more fertility advice and preservation of sperm/eggs for the future. A horrifying future beckons.

... because they believe it is a “contentious issue” and doing so might “imply the BBC supported one side or another.”

I don't see how simple factual info to a legal and necessary service is "supporting one side". The link includes the letter asking that they reverse their current stance on providing links to information about abortion, co-signed by British Pregnancy Advisory Service (bpas), Brook, the Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, Family Planning Association (FPA), Marie Stopes UK, the Royal College of Midwives, and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists."

The BBC abortion thing is utterly shocking.

Globally agree with article women's reproductive rights are under massive attack and have been for a while.

The pushing for commercial surrogacy here is also bad.

For sure even while we are not supposed to talk about women's issues around this, around the world, for far of being exclusionary.

The right wants to get rid of our rights and the left says we're not allowed to talk about it.

The BBC does, however, provide links to...Mermaids.

Jesus fucking christ, will it ever end? Being a woman is a constant battle.
