The catholic church needs to have a serious think about what it feels more strongly about- whether that is preventing a life that doesn't yet exist and is not at that time wanted, or terminating an unplanned pregnancy, because for a lot of women that is what the availability of contraception comes down to.

State like Maine allow it with exceptions. It is illegal in states such as Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi. It has not always been outlawed and still isn't. In Judeo-Christian teaching it is not covered in the list of forbidden relations, although the Catholic church only allows it with special dispensation.

]]> Comment on Women’s Rights In A Post-Apocalyptic World by UglyBoy http://morningquickie.com/2012/02/16/popping-culture-womens-rights-in-a-post-apocalyptic-world/#comment-35115 UglyBoy Sat, 05 May 2012 23:53:07 +0000 http://morningquickie.com/?p=45007#comment-35115 This begs the question: are women’s rights temporary luxuries we have today? Who “grants” women these “luxuries?” Hmmm... Americans, or let's say, tad more civilized countries often question, how women are treated in middle East, or in the Eastern part of the world. In America, the UK, and many European countries, women have rights. Rights to "choose" their men, rights to say no. Let's look at this from this pov(and especially for black women). Men have been treated horrible by women, accused of rape, child supported, used in marriage.Many men have personal vendettas against women and also see them as sex objects. Now, in a world were chaos ensues, will the main point of focus be to allow women to continue acting as such? An interesting topic to how women act today. This is a quote from a response to a similar post. Quote "This is realistic. This is what would happen and might happen if we enter a post apocalyptic world. One of the reasons women can claim to be stronger, smarter, and better than men is because men are protecting them and their rights. Women are not at all useless but they are very ungrateful to the fact that men are the reason they have any rights nowadays. Yet somehow we've been typecasted as the useless, despicable gender. Pray a day like this never happens b/c then you'll instantly realize how important men are to your freedom." This begs the question: are women’s rights temporary luxuries we have today?

Every year they make the entire magazine an April Fool’s joke. Articles, ads, classifieds, the whole thing. Companies that advertise with them get in on it too.

It takes a long time to work but that is an alternative treatment. There is a device that stretches the foreskin and causes it to grow in diameter so a circumcision is not necessary.
