The charges against a woman in Cleveland is an example the 'extremism' the laws in the USA are taking in regard to any 'religiously' influenced social issue.
The 'idea' that anyone would shoot themselves has to be met with an appalling reality that the individual was attempting suicide. Indeed, there are large vessels in the abdomin of any person that can cause a person to bleed to death. The placenta is an organ that is vascular rich and if punctured could have caused the death of the woman and the fetus. This was an insane moment for that woman no matter the reason it was triggered.
Then to realize the police come along and further victimize an already unstable woman for the sake of 'fetal rights' which doesn't even exist is appalling.
The circumstances of this Cleveland woman is more than worrisome. The police are more concerned about the death of an unborn child than the woman that attempted to kill herself.
Realizing 'the shift' in the priorities of police in regard to the issue of abortion, it is an excellant time to reflect on the fact the courts have not been a friend to woman and women's rights. They have not been a friend to minorities or minority rights. The 'face' of the USA has progressed in a direction that is detrimental to it's most vulnerable citizens.
A fetus is not a citizen until it is born.
Gays are citizens and are chronically met with discrimination in regard to the status of civil rights and marriage.
I hadn't realize how much we are all falling victim to the Right Wing and it's Christian Conservative network.
I'll look at these issues tomorrow evening. I think everyone knows how wrong this thinking is and how victimized the populous of the USA has become under this current President, Vice and former majority Republican Senate and House.
Time to put it on record. Women are beginning to show signs of distress in the face of reversal of their rights and this is only one example. The Robert's Court has pushed American Civil Rights back over a half decade. I find it appalling and anyone that cares about the 'trend' in social politics realizes this is an early warning shot we all need to pay attention to.
The USA is troubled and it has been less than a year since some astounding decisions facilitated by Justice Kennedy. I never expected this level of incompetency with him. Never.
...tomorrow then...
