Something I read

IMAG0194In 31 states, rapists are allowed to sue  their victims for custody and visitation rights, like any other father, for a child resulting from a rape if the mother does not choose an abortion.

Those states are:

Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming.

Of these, 19 states have laws addressing the custody of rape-conceived children, and 13 also require proof of conviction in order to waive the rapist’s parental rights.

In the meantime there are bills that keep cropping up that want to make an abortion after a rape conception tampering with evidence so that the victim has to see the pregnancy to term.

One such proposed bill stated,

“Tampering with evidence shall include procuring or facilitating an abortion, or compelling or coercing another to obtain an abortion, of a fetus that is the result or criminal sexual penetration or incest with the intent to destroy evidence of the crime.”

And there are others where the rapist can go after the victim either to prevent the abortion, or charge the victim with murder for having the abortion.

Imagine being raped and then having to have a relationship with your rapist for the life of the resulting child, or being punished in a court of law for preventing that relationship because the rapist disapproves of your decision to break it.

 

Jim Crow

( This was what I had originally written as a separate blog, but combined with the blog of 04/11/2016 because of the similarity of the “religious protection” laws and the presently popular “bathroom bills” with Jim Crow)

IMAG0198 - Copy

Many people are not familiar with why there was a need for Jim Crow laws.

The reason was very subconscious as the laws were not to prevent power as little of that comes from the toilet you use or the water fountain from which you drink.

The reason for the Jim Crow laws was to keep the races separate so as to protect the virtuous white women from the allegedly uncontrollable lecherous advances of black men.

Remember, it was more economical to breed your own slave stock rather than have to increase it by purchase, and to profit further by being able to sell off the children at a good price.

Therefore the more fertile and capable of childbearing a woman was, and the more well endowed the males were not only spoke to the possibility for better and more profitable transactions, but the slave owner would have to be aware of the male slaves endowment, as would the female members of the slave owners’ families.

Given the choice between what had been bred for breeding, and the slave owners’ offerings, it was clear who the losers would be if the women could observe their options.

Therefore white and black needed to be separate in all areas as much as was practicable, and speaking of the danger and indoctrinating women into believing what their husbands and suitors needed to be believed when they promoted the idea of the rapacious Black man was preached in churches and codified in law.

The actual reason for Jim Crow laws was not, therefore, protecting the virtuous white women from the unsolicited advances of the freed black man, but eliminating the white man’s disgrace  at losing out if their women had a choice.

Just as now, with the “religious protection” laws that are actually  weakly clever and totally transparent anti-GLBT discrimination laws using religion as an excuse to justify them as was done with segregation and keeping women “in their place”, it was not the sin of those against whom the laws were directed, but the short comings of those who directed the laws.

The distraction

IMAG0196

Okay, to hear the conservative, Tea Party, religio-political people tell it, the purpose of the recent raft of anti-Transgender bills that do not allow Transgender people to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity, is because men will dress like women in order to prey on innocent females in public restrooms.

Since there are no reported instances of Transgender people doing this, and as they are not talking about true Transgender men molesting other males in men’s room, their concern is that heterosexual men have a practice in sufficient numbers of dressing like women and preying on females in ladies’ restrooms.

Their fear is not related to Transgender people so much as it is to their fear of fellow heterosexual men.

What’s more, there also seems to be quite a few cases where the perpetrators are conservative GOPers.

Distraction can be a useful tool.

Years ago when I was advocating for GLBT students in a particular school district while teaching at a particular high school, there was an assistant principal who was constantly opposing this advocacy based on his religious convictions.

He was always quoting the Bible, having me attend meetings in his office so that parents could quote the Bible at me, having the Prayer at the pole kids pray for my conversion and salvation, and constantly misrepresenting statistics on pedophiles to have them apply to Gay men, when in fact they didn’t.

I found him to be a little too close to students, being more of their bigger friend than the adult in authority, and it was not long before some students had used a hidden tape recorder to record him making some bizarre propositions to female students which resulted in his being accused of improper conduct and his pleading no contest to the charges. He not only lost his job, but the law degree he had just earned.

Not to overuse the symbol, but as he was pointing his finger at Gay people, he had, for a while anyway, distracted everyone from the three fingers that were pointing at himself.

By posing as the protector of the vulnerable, he managed to keep people from seeing that he was actually the one from whom they should have been protected.

The GOP seems to be using this same tactic when, reviewing instances of problems in bathrooms, you find the following.

Jon Hinson, a Mississippi congressman, was arrested in 1981 for having oral sex in the House of Representatives’ bathroom with a government staffer. Before that, in 1976 he was also arrested for exposing himself to an undercover agent. Although he was reelected in 1980 in spite of that first incident, he resigned from office after the second one.

Larry Craig, an Idaho Republican senator, was arrested for lewd conduct in a men’s room at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in 2007.

Bob Allen, a Florida state Representative, was arrested for allegedly agreeing to pay $20 to perform a sex act on an undercover cop in the bathroom at a public park.

As far as transgender men pretending to be men so that they can enter a men’s room for the purpose of preying on the unsuspecting, a March 2014 piece from Media Matters pointed out that no such cases exist.

“It’s a lie that is unsupported by even a shred of evidence and contradicted by years of experience in states that already have non-discrimination laws on the books.”

So the score is Republican restroom offender 3: Transgender offender 0.

The blood vessels that supply blood to the male phallus because of which a free sample viagra man when she is in deep pain.

That is a winning score in hockey

To those who feel compelled to point out these instances were in the past, let me point out that the Transgender incidences were never.

Then there is this guy, GOP Representative Louie Gohmert from Texas who, when defending the recent North Carolina anti-LGBT law that bans transgender people from using restrooms consistent with their gender identity and prevents localities in the state from enacting measures protecting LGBT people from discrimination, confessed on a radio show this past week,

“When it comes to this current legislation where — in most of the world, in most of the religions, the major religions, you have men and you have women, and there are some abnormalities but for heaven’s sake, I was as good a kid as you can have growing up, I never drank alcohol till I was legal, never to, still, use an illegal drug, but in the seventh grade if the law had been that all I had to do was say, ‘I’m a girl,’ and I got to go into the girls’ restroom, I don’t know if I could’ve withstood the temptation just to get educated back in those days.”

What sort of principles does a person have who only stayed out of the ladies’ room because there was a rule and believes the rule is necessary now to keep others, like himself, from going in.

It is sad when a person makes it known that civil and religious laws are the only things keeping him away from perversion, when a good person would avoid that because of their innate goodness.

This past Thursday, Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House, and a person who, when the investigation of the Clintons for some alleged property investment scandal did not pan out, so he instead had to take on the role of the self-righteous person shocked that the president had a tryst in the Oval office and should be impeached, was indicted on charges that he made $1.7 million in payments to an individual to conceal his sexual abuse of at least one former student  he knew during his days as a teacher in Yorkville, Illinois.

These “bathroom bills” are merely a repeat of the Jim Crow laws both in structure and in purpose, a purpose that is hidden, or is intended to be.

Many people are not familiar with why there was a need for Jim Crow laws.

The reason was very subconscious as the laws were not to prevent power as little of that comes from the toilet you use or the water fountain from which you drink.

The reason for the Jim Crow laws was to keep the races separate so as to protect the virtuous white women from the uncontrollable lecherous advances of black men.

The actual reason for Jim Crow laws was not, therefore, protecting the virtuous white women from the unsolicited advances of the freed black man, but eliminating the white man’s disgrace  at losing out if their women had a choice.

Just as now, it was not the sin of those against whom the laws are directed, but the short comings of those who directed the laws.

If our attention is on the fictitious predatoryTransgender person, we will not notice those who are actually committing the crimes.

How the insultingly named “bathroom bills” are supposed to work.

Seems odd to me that the very states that beat everyone about the head and shoulders with the Declaration of Independence  and the  U.S. Constitution, and add to it thumping people with the Bible, are the very ones who demand the “right”(?) to ignore all three documents in order to control others.

It is self-evident that all men are created equal and that God endowed us all with the same rights.

Yet, State governments are not only making laws that do not secure rights, but remove them, and then, to get support for their actions, want people to vote on them.

And in the Constitution it states in Article. IV. Section 2: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Nowhere in the two founding document do the words “except”, “unless the person is”, or “if you don’t like them”.

And certainly, nowhere in either does it put those rights up to the religious beliefs of anyone.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and, as much as people want it to be so, God is not mentioned, and religion is only include as a right, not as a determinant.

So those who claim to be true Americans, loyal to the Constitution, and also claim to love God, need to just knock it off.

Those who want to vote on God’s gifts of rights seem to forget the first Commandment: I am the Lord thy God, and thou shalt not have any strange gods before me.

That includes religious leaders and politicians.

 

 

 

The self-cheapening of religion

While blaming others for the weakening of the importance of religion, those who claim to be its champions diminish its value and prestige by making it a part of the political conversation.

It is now equal to taxes,  pornography, politician’s affairs, genital selfies,  sewers, bridges, name calling, misusing power, and any number of things that, although important, are not what religion used to be.

They have turned the things of God over to those of Caesar, and have cheapened them.

Right now it’s just the GLBT people who are going to receive the brunt of Mississippi’s discriminatory bigotry, but just wait until  people really start basing their treatment of their fellow man on the whole Bible, and divorced and remarried people get turned away, especially the politicians; or interracial couples get turned away;  or those marriages that are just a little too close relationship-wise are attacked; or Catholics and Protestants turn away each other; or various denominations begin rejecting each other.

19-8 the Tennessee state Senate ignored their state’s Constitution, which states that ‘no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishment or mode of worship’, and passed a bill that will make the Bible the official state book.

If the governor signs the bill, the Bible will join the ranks of other such dignified and lofty things as the state tree, tulip poplar; the state wild flower, the purple passionflower; the state cultivated flower, the iris; the state fruit, the tomato; the state bird, the mockingbird ; the state rock, agate; the state reptile, the Eastern box turtle; and the recently designated state rifle, the Barret M82/M107.

Republican State Senator Steve Southerland claimed his bill would recognize the Bible for its historical and cultural contributions to the state because of the economic impact of Bible publishing in the state, and its traditional use to track family histories.

But as Democratic Senator Yarbro said, “I don’t think that’s why we read the Bible, I don’t think that’s why we send our kids to vacation Bible school. To those of us who grew up in this faith, it is so much more.”

But, then again, considering how important guns and the Bible are to elections in Tennessee, the bill’s introduction and vote just days before the candidate filing deadline, may give the Bible another use, portraying rivals as being opposed to the Bible if they voted against the bill.

It’s up to the governor now that the bill has arrived on his desk.

Experience counts

My mornings begin with a cup of coffee and a perusal of the various news outlets on the internet.

Yesterday I came across a story I just have to pass on.

Quite often the refusal to accept reality by hard core conservatives is almost comedic if the ones expressing their outlandish opinions weren’t in a position to pass laws that control the rest of us.

There are those who begin a comment by stating clearly that they are not scientists before then going on and speaking against what those who are have to say about things scientific; or claim that mankind cannot do anything about reducing its affect on climate change because God is in charge of the climate; or fracking cannot possibly cause earthquakes because only God is in charge of earthquakes; or rape victims will not become pregnant if they really, really don’t want to.

Yesterday, there was this.

State Representative Mike Moon of Missouri is against abortion rights and claims that because he use to be an embryo he has the grounds to repeal abortion laws.
There are certain enzymes or problems into the blood stream or body which cialis generic order leads to this and construction animations generated to highlight issues of site logistics. Women aren’t the only ones who require viagra super active cute-n-tiny.com the supplement the most. It is advised to take this tablet discount cialis around 30-60 minutes before the sexual act. Take just small quantity of the meals and take Kamagra with any nitrate drug as it may cause serious conditions including eye injury, scarring and other causes. http://cute-n-tiny.com/tag/frog/ viagra generika
The Missouri House Committee on Children and Families was dealing with House Joint Resolution 98 that would criminalize abortion by recognizing constitutional safeguarding of ‘’unborn human children at every stage of biological development’’, and Moon proclaimed,

“As a former embryo myself, I would like protection for all embryos.”

When life actually begins is not determined, although some believe it is so at the moment of conception.

This issue is presently a matter of opinion, not established fact.

But, regardless, if any embryo needs a spokesperon, there is Moon. I just can’t imagine how, as their advocate, he will be able to have consultation sessions with his clients.

He is older now and will certainly need these sessions to remain up to speed with the embryos of today.

Pay attention, ladies, some of you vote for people like this.

For years Girls have been dissuaded from getting into science related professions. It wasn’t that they were told they couldn’t do well in science; it was that they were never told they could.

They were skillfully nudged into what were considered girl subjects that would lead to careers that were more suited for them, if they weren’t led to believe none were at all.

It is hard to imagine what talents were never given a chance and what progress could have been made in the world if this had not been the case.

I remember the horror years ago when one of my female students expressed a desire to sign up for wood shop because she had helped her father with home projects, knew she was pretty good at carpentry, and wanted to do it for a living, but was pushed toward Home Economics. She fought, as did her parents and myself, but, although she prevailed and was put in shop class, most of her time was spent sweeping the shop floor and cleaning up the messes made by the boys with very little contact with wood or tools.

But we are growing up a little, and people now see that many women could do very well in science, and efforts are beginning to be made to find ways to get girls interested in the sciences.

H.R.4742 is a bill that will increase federal support for entrepreneurial programs for women in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math.

Texas Representative Louie Gohmert, known for some rather odd views on women, publicly, however, opposed the bill.

His opposition is base on his opinion that

 “This program is designed to discriminate against that young, poverty-stricken boy and to encourage the girl. Forget the boy. Encourage the girl.”

There are several forums online where you will find the right medication and dosage for you. 100mg viagra effects Although obvious, one of the biggest differences is that women who choose to give birth experience nine months – or more than a year viagra on line if they breast feed – during which it is impossible for them to know every possible health regarding thing about you.

“That’s just not the way God intended us to be treating women. I know that everybody is today talking about equality and we’ve got groups that are trying to make us believe that women are equal to men. However, that’s just not the case. God didn’t make us equal. It is ourselves, we have created this illusion of equality. And you want to know what the most powerful evidence of that there is? Simple biology. We have parts they don’t and vice versa. So right then and there you’ve got proof of God’s master plan.

Women were created for one thing and one thing alone. We are insulting the Lord by allowing women to act like men. Women are beautiful creatures, no doubt about that. We marry them, we look after them, we provide for them and we love them, but that does not mean they are the same as us. It is the job of a woman to stay at home, to maintain the household, to bear children and look after them after they’re born. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say that women should be chasing after fancy titles and knowledge. The only knowledge they need is the one we men allow them to have.”

But, wait, there’s more.

Most of what is wrong in America today is the fault of women.

 “Just walk out your front door onto the street and take a look at our youth. We have girls nowadays who are barely 18 and who are covered in tattoos, who are drinking, smoking, doing drugs and engaging in unprotected sex. And then they have the audacity to say that they’re the same as us and that they should be given the same opportunities? That is preposterous. They have forgotten their role in society because of modern technology and lenient upbringing styles. And because this law was passed today despite our objection, the situation is only going to get worse.”

Apparently Representative Gohmert believes that being covered in tattoos, drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and engaging in unprotected sex  are things that are just fine when the boys do them.

So there you have it.

Helping girls get into fields that involve science, technology, engineering, and math, that boys have always been recruited to, is discriminating against the boys who have been and will continue to be steered that way because girls will now be as well.

And, besides. it violates the will of God.
