The Dr Disrespect Situation Just Got Worse... & Today’s News

Bro went from .DOC to .PDF

The Australian government wanting to bring home a whistle blower after throwing the fucking book at David McBride, another whistle blower who more specifically targeted Australia's wrong doing, is wild.

It's interesting how medical professionals told people, "If you ban abortions, infant mortality will go up." And it went up after banning abortions.

Kenyan here. One of the worst governments ever only 2 years in. Beyond the tax hikes he is proposing, the actions of his government have been beyond tone-deaf. The amount of money being allocated to different government officials for frivolous things like office and house renovations, undisclosed discretionary spending and pointless travel is being increased almost 100% in some cases from the last budget. They have repeated the phrase "we need to tighten our belts" while literally wearing designer belts themselves and $30,000 watches. He recently took an expensive private jet to the States with a contingent of his political friends to borrow money from Biden and pal around with Steve Harvey and other celebrities. My payslip is deducted almost in half now with more taxes on the way while the politicians enjoy luxury. Gen Z led the charge on these protests and millennials and boomers are very proud of them. We will keep pushing back, the whole country is united in this which hasn't happened since 2002.

Kenyan here. The president is a person accused of crimes against humanity by the ICC. The prosecution dropped his charges because all the witnesses against his case were disappearing and being found dead. The current prosecutor Karim Khan was his defense lawyer back then. He has had multiple cases of grabbing public and private land. The most egregious was when he tried to grab land meant for an elementary school. When those small kids protested, they sent the police and they tear gassed some 10 year olds. All that was when he was the vice president. When he won the presidency, he removed subsidies and sharply increased taxes every chance he got. The reason for such tax measures is not for debt repayment as he claims(cause he has added to that by so much in 2 years). He, like all other african leaders, wanted to get his hands on foreign aid or loans so that he could enrich himself and his cronies. The problem he had was that the money from China, which came with zero strings, had dried up, and he looked to the IMF and the west. Unlike China, these western entities impose many restrictions for qualifications for such loans or grants, many to do with the removal of subsidies and raising more money to show an ability to pay back. So that is how a war criminal is trying to saddle a whole nation with a large financial burden, all because of his greed. I nearly forgot, the USA paid him $ 80 million to send police to Haiti, a country we have had no diplomatic ties with since both countries were formed. No one in Kenya likes him, and the protest has moved from the finance bill to demanding that he resign. On Thursday, the young people in Kenya will be moving to occupy the state house after successfully breaching parliament today(never done in history). Wish us luck.

My first child had Potters Syndrome and was making my wife sick. There was a chance both the mother and child would have died, if pregnancy continued in this case, and a 100% chance the child would not survive. Potters Syndrome means the child doesn't develop proper digestive organs or other organs not properly developing. In our case, our child didn’t develop a bladder and one kidney. There is no fix and no chance of transplant. The connective tissue and pathways aren't there, and there's nothing anyone can do. It was an extremely sad and difficult time in our lives. Given the extremely rare chance the child developed to full term, missing crucial organs and not killing the mother, we'd be gifted with a child in excruciating pain, crying non-stop for around 4 hours, then dying in our arms. These are the types of scenarios that terrify me. How sick does the mother have to get, with a child that won't survive 24 hours, before a doctor isnt scared to do what's right? Does the mother's heart have to stop beating? Does she have to carry the child for months in sadness, pain, and fear before a judge determines it's ok to end the suffering? What has this country come to, to get to this point. We live in a sad in between dystopia that should never have been allowed to occur. These religious right-wing nutjobs need to do the right thing and keep their fairytales, that help them sleep at night, out of our government and laws. This is 100% a back pedaling of humanity and it's truly terrifying.

the "protect the kids" crowd seems to be really uninterested in protecting kids

Infant and maternal complications increasing as a result of abortion bans?! If only anyone could have foreseen this 😔

Infant mortality rises after abortion ban??? Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Not everyone and their mother! Not people who acknowledged that the majority of people don’t decide to get abortions on a whim, but because they have to make a decision between two horrible options. Couldn’t be them… 🤦🏿
