MY BODY MY CHOICE

Morning After Pill

More evidence that pharmacists in the US are routinely restricting access to the morning after pill from Ginger Miss, who asked her boyfriend to pick some up for her. Although the law guarantees both men and women the right to buy emergency contraceptives, he ran into problems when he tried to exercise that right.

BLUEY SUCKS!!!

This is a website dedicated to detouring young people from choosing what they think is best for their bodies. The tool they use is "BLUEY" and as far as I am concerned "BLUEY" sucks! It also had response posts to the article, link to this website and check out some of the posts. I was banned from posting therefor, I cannot copy any other post either!!!

Bluey the Body Rights Thingamabob teaches Dawn Eden about choice

Published by punkass marc April 24th, 2006 in Reproductive Rights, Bodily Autonomy, Edumakashun

Jill from Feministe has tackled the gargantuan task of remaining measured and polite while arguing for freedom of choice over at Dawn Eden’s soundstage. I can’t imagine how she keeps her cool as the oh-so-enlightened wingnuttery labels her a Nazi and such; she’s got real Christian patience, that one.

Like Jill and many of our friendly scientists, I don’t believe a fetus is a human being. But for some reason, maybe you do. Jill responds to the implications for choice:

But that said, even if we could demonstrate that a fetus was the full equivalent of a human being, I would still be in favor of abortion rights, because I don’t think that any human being has the right to use another’s organs and body for its own survival without that person’s consent.

Dawn counters:

If one believes that the humanity of the unborn child does not matter because a mother is not responsible for the human life growing inside her, then no one is responsible for another in any way. Parents are not responsible for their children and children are not responsible for their elderly or disabled parents. Husbands are not responsible for their elderly or disabled wives, and vice versa. No one has any responsibility to the poor, unfortunate, or suffering.

I’m too angry at Dawn’s ignorance to respond as politely as Jill might, so I’ve asked an associate to guest-blog a response for me. Punkassfriends, please meet my pal, Bluey, the Body Rights Thingamabob:

Bluey wants to transmit a message of body rights and tolerance that the young and Dawn Eden should be able to grasp…

Bluey:
Hi kids!
Kids:
Hi Bluey!!
Bluey:
Do you know where I escaped from?
Kids:
The Land of Forced Body Mutilation!!
Bluey:
That’s right! The Land of Forced Body Mutilation, where Grumpus Tuskamorts lurk around every corner waiting to steal parts of your body, whether you like it or not. Do you kids like Grumpus Tuskamorts?
Kids:
Noooooo!!
Bluey:
That’s good! Because Grumpus Tuskamorts don’t like you, either. They just like themselves. Why, look at me! I used to have a heart this big until one took it from me so he could use it. Now I can barely love anything at all.
Kids:
Awwwww!
Bluey:
Lucky for me, I was able to get away so I could warn you kids about the dangers of other people controlling your body. Now, I want to ask you kids a question. If your brother or sister was sick and needed one of your kidneys to live, would you choose give it to him or her?
Kids:
Yes, Bluey!!
Bluey:
That’s great! You would choose to give up your kidney to help out someone you love. You kids have big hearts… hey, can I have one?
[audience giggles]
Now, instead of your brother or sister, let’s say that a man from Nicaragua is sick and wanted your kidney so he could live. Would you choose to give him your kidney?
[audience murmurs, a few children raise their hands]
It’s okay, kids, there’s no right answer. Some of you would, and some of you wouldn’t. That’s the beauty of choice! Now, let’s say that same man flew here, cloroformed you, cut out your kidney, and left you in a pool of ice with a note to call 911 without asking permission first. Would that be okay?
Kids:
Noooooo!!
Bluey:
Good! He coerced you into giving up part of your body so he could live. And even though he was going to die if he didn’t, he had no right to take your body from you against your will. Only you can choose what to do with your body, kids. It’s the one thing to which you have an inalienable right. Can you say inalienable?
Kids:
[silence]
Bluey:
….anyway, it’s all yours. If a baby or a fetus or a fireman or Saddam Hussein wanted to use your body so it could live, you have the right to say “no.” Now, does that give you a right to kill them if they don’t need to use your body to live?
Kids:
Noooooo!!
Bluey:
That’s fantastic! Now you kids understand why Dawn Eden’s “natural law argument” is a complete fallacy. There’s a big difference between killing someone and being required to give up part of your body against your will so they can live. I think you kids are ready to do battle with the evil Grumpus Tuskamorts now, don’t you?
Kids:
Yeah!!
Bluey:
Great! Let’s celebrate! Anyone got some blow?

—————————————————————–

Err, I think I’ll cut Bluey off there, but I hope he made the argument for body rights as clearly and simply as possible. Even if a fetus is somehow a human being, which it isn’t, no woman has to give up any part of her body for it against her will, the same way she shouldn’t be forced to give up or rent any part of herself to save Saddam Hussein. She can’t just up and _kill_ anyone, either, but I hope everyone can see the difference now.

Everyone but those pesky Grumpus Tuskamorts, anyway.

This poem is by June Jordan, one of my very most favorite poets. She has several poems enlightening the public to the injustice of personal rights!! I hope you all enjoy her as much as I have. May she inspire you to aspire to fight for your rights!

Poem about My Rights

by June Jordan

Even tonight and I need to take a walk and clear

my head about this poem about why I can’t

go out without changing my clothes my shoes

my body posture my gender identity my age

my status as a woman alone in the evening/

alone on the streets/alone not being the point/

the point being that I can’t do what I want

to do with my own body because I am the wrong

sex the wrong age the wrong skin and

suppose it was not here in the city but down on the beach/

or far into the woods and I wanted to go

there by myself thinking about God/or thinking

about children or thinking about the world/all of it

disclosed by the stars and the silence:

I could not go and I could not think and I could not

stay there

alone

as I need to be

alone because I can’t do what I want to do with my own

body and

who in the hell set things up

like this

and in France they say if the guy penetrates

but does not ejaculate then he did not rape me

and if after stabbing him if after screams if

after begging the bastard and if even after smashing

a hammer to his head if even after that if he

and his buddies fuck me after that

then I consented and there was

no rape because finally you understand finally

they fucked me over because I was wrong I was

wrong again to be me being me where I was/wrong

to be who I am

which is exactly like South Africa

penetrating into Namibia penetrating into

Angola and does that mean I mean how do you know if

Pretoria ejaculates what will the evidence look like the

proof of the monster jackboot ejaculation on Blackland

and if

after Namibia and if after Angola and if after Zimbabwe

and if after all of my kinsmen and women resist even to

self-immolation of the villages and if after that

we lose nevertheless what will the big boys say will they

claim my consent:

Do You Follow Me: We are the wrong people of

the wrong skin on the wrong continent and what

in the hell is everybody being reasonable about

and according to the Times this week

back in 1966 the C.I.A. decided that they had this problem

and the problem was a man named Nkrumah so they

killed him and before that it was Patrice Lumumba

and before that it was my father on the campus

of my Ivy League school and my father afraid

to walk into the cafeteria because he said he

was wrong the wrong age the wrong skin the wrong

gender identity and he was paying my tuition and

before that

it was my father saying I was wrong saying that

I should have been a boy because he wanted one/a

boy and that I should have been lighter skinned and

that I should have had straighter hair and that

I should not be so boy crazy but instead I should

just be one/a boy and before that

it was my mother pleading plastic surgery for

my nose and braces for my teeth and telling me

to let the books loose to let them loose in other

words

I am very familiar with the problems of the C.I.A.

and the problems of South Africa and the problems

of Exxon Corporation and the problems of white

America in general and the problems of the teachers

and the preachers and the F.B.I. and the social

workers and my particular Mom and Dad/I am very

familiar with the problems because the problems

turn out to be

me

I am the history of rape

I am the history of the rejection of who I am

I am the history of the terrorized incarceration of

myself

I am the history of battery assault and limitless

armies against whatever I want to do with my mind

and my body and my soul and

whether it’s about walking out at night

or whether it’s about the love that I feel or

whether it’s about the sanctity of my vagina or

the sanctity of my national boundaries

or the sanctity of my leaders or the sanctity

of each and every desire

that I know from my personal and idiosyncratic

and indisputably single and singular heart

I have been raped

be-

cause I have been wrong the wrong sex the wrong age

the wrong skin the wrong nose the wrong hair the

wrong need the wrong dream the wrong geographic

the wrong sartorial I

I have been the meaning of rape

I have been the problem everyone seeks to

eliminate by forced

penetration with or without the evidence of slime and/

but let this be unmistakable this poem

is not consent I do not consent

to my mother to my father to the teachers to

the F.B.I. to South Africa to Bedford-Stuy

to Park Avenue to American Airlines to the hardon

idlers on the corners to the sneaky creeps in

cars

I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name

My name is my own my own my own

and I can’t tell you who the hell set things up like this

but I can tell you that from now on my resistance

my simple and daily and nightly self-determination

may very well cost you your life

A Voice for the Children

Below is an article about human rights. There are several links to different articles related to the same issues.

STOP STATE SEIZURE OF NEWBORNS - PRESERVE HUMAN FAMILY BODY RIGHTS
By Pamela Gaston, Oregon

A voice for children

NCHR's Comments. The taking of newborns from their mothers at birth is a particularly inhuman practice. Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantees the following: "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks." In its verdict in the Case of K & T v. Finland, April 27, 2000 and July 12, 2001, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, found Finland guilty of violation of the family's right to respect for private and family life that is guaranteed by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The taking of the new-born was found to be "not necessary in a democratic society". Finland had therefore breached its "margin of appreciation". The Court wrote inter alia: "§ 144. (...) the mother's psychotic behaviour only hours after having found out that she had been deprived of her new-born baby cannot serve as a reason supporting a decision already made. Nor can a possible threat of such behaviour, in the case of a forthcoming care order, justify such a decision. The Court finds it likely that any mother - with or without mental history - would, in such circumstances, face a risk of behavioural disturbances." Family, the cornerstone of every society, must be protected from unnecessary attacks and interferences from the State. Pamela Gaston has produced a form "NOTIFICATION / PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS" which follows this article.

There is nothing we deal with that is harder than the terrified women who call for help who are pregnant and know that the STATE VULTURES are soon going to TAKE THEIR INFANTS AT BIRTH.

Being a mother, the grief of this is beyond comprehension, yet we deal with many of these cases - four right now that are going to have babies soon and are facing complete destruction of their Family Body. The STATE is making so much money and their goal is the children, especially the infants, that more families every day are being hit and shredded in this rendering machine.

Recently, judge Guimond in Salem, chair of the Multidisciplinary Task Force, the bridge between the federal money and the greedy little vipers at the state level, stated at a meeting "since the young single mothers are the most likely to put their children at risk it would be a great idea to write an initiative to take ALL children from ALL young single mothers, that being a major risk factor".

Also remember, POVERTY is a risk factor, so if you don't make a certain standard of money you are "failing to provide" for the child and it is removed for the state to provide for it. People never realized that where the Benchmarks Goals 2000 states "by the year 2010 there will be no more children living in poverty in Oregon" that it meant because all those children will be removed from their families. Last year, as the criminal Dr Kitzhaber promoted this whole family abuse plan, he stated that 60% of Oregon families are at risk. That was before the bottom fell out of the economy in Oregon and the poverty level is way higher now.

Recently we were asked to speak at a school who were studying the Family Protection Amendment initiative we wrote. The realization hit that I would be speaking to a whole class of young women and I would have to tell them that EVERY ONE OF THEIR BABIES IS AT RISK IN OREGON !!! EVERY ONE OF THEIR FAMILIES IS AT RISK TO BE DESTROYED. It was overwhelming to realize how dangerously our freedoms have been stripped and how aggressively this government is moving to saturate their agenda.

The following NOTIFICATION/PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS is for any woman who faces having her newborn removed from her breast after ten minutes at the hospital, without crime, without law, by the STATE snatch 'n sell agency. This woman, like so many others, lost a child to the state years ago, and automatically every child she has borne every since has been removed from her at birth. No matter what changes go on in her life, no matter how long has passed, no matter a different father, whole new family relationships, the baby is taken.

This is the Family Police main goal and main money maker. The Adoption Safe Families Act runs the courts with their federal funding streams that finance the courts but require compliance rules and enforcements. The new Oregon Children Plan in Oregon "outreaches" and "assesses" every firstborn. The hospitals now have prison lock down security systems where if a parent attempts to leave the hospital with their baby the doors all lock them in, triggered by a bracelet on the baby's ankle. They spin this to the public as being to "protect babies from being stolen" which happens almost never, but every day by the STATE.

The hospital and the state assess the mothers and families with an insane risk factor list and decide whether or not you will take your child home. In the zoos, the zookeepers do not touch the primate newborns knowing it will break the bond between mother and child, and the child will less likely thrive. The abuse of the human infants by the state for profit is kidnapping, as the baby is stolen - seized usually without charging anyone with a crime. It is also genocide against a CLASS of People, "low income", who are targeted for these compelled contracts and federal money spent to pay companies like Arthur Andersen to find all "welfare qualifying" families, to "offer" them "help".

They are violating their own rules, in order to get the federal money it says the child has to have suffered abuse in a recent event by the one alleged to have abused it. Most of the cases of the infants taken are automatic and no alleged abuse at all.

They make upwards of $90,000.00 in services contracts and up to $10,000 "bounty" for adoptions on fast track, calling our babies "commodities" in the "federal funding streams". The black market in infants and children is widely known, so much so that Oregon is known for "airport adoptions", reported in Good Housekeeping Magazine March l995 article, Stolen Babies.

THIS AGENCY REFUSES TO DISCLOSE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHILDREN WHO ARE REMOVED AND THE PARENTS ARE PREVENTED FROM KNOWING.

RIGHT NOW IN FLORIDA A THOUSAND CHILDREN ARE MISSING - WE WANT AN ACCOUNTING IN OREGON AND ACROSS AMERICA NOW.

We, along with others, sued the Oregon legislature last year for their horrendous criminal policies, but the Supreme court refuses to make them answer.

The mothers at the hospital are given deceptive paperwork when they enter to have their baby. They are offered coupons and services, and their signature is used as a "voluntary" waiver of their rights, although they do not know this. The corporate STATE proceeds as the parent of the child, and assesses the child and mother for services and programs, parenting classes, etc. If the parents refuse these services the STATE reports them as being "uncooperative" and the children are removed for that alone, to refuse services told to take you are found to place your children at risk.

All you can do is learn to protect yourself, and this is one way to do that. This is the Sui Juris process, and everything you do must be done in writing to protect yourself. This family will take friends to the hospital with them. A Video camera is excellent too. (Now you see why they are making new rules against video cameras in hospitals now !)

Make sure at least one friend is competent, has paper and pencil and GETS NAMES of everyone !! And everyone gets a copy of this notification. That is how it works. Should you file a lawsuit later on, you want to be able to say who the caseworker was and the sheriff was and be able to name them. And make sure your friend keeps a list of all who he serves the notification on.

I hope anyone who needs this benefits from it. Add to it as you like, but for best effectiveness it should stay one page.

This will have to be reformatted from the e-mail but this is what it should say.....

Leave the top line blank to fill out who you give it to and where. You can go ahead and sign the bottom part and have two friends witness it..... or leave that off and just get it notarized ..... ( don't sign it until you are in front of the notary )

Then you give this to anyone you need to and keep track of who you serve it on (remember the friend at the hospital needs to write down stuff like that for you)

Sexual Orientation Laws

This is a journal dedicated to the laws of sexual orientation. Each volume has its' own link and you can skim through each volume to read the obscenities that oppress gay and lesbian citizens to this very day. You would think being 2007 that we would not be fighting the same battles we fought in the 1800's.

The National Journal of Sexual Orientation Law

Thanks for your interest in the National Journal of Sexual Orientation Law, the first on-line law journal in the country and the second devoted exclusively to legal issues affecting lesbians, gay men and bisexuals.

The Journal's primary purpose is to disseminate information and ideas about law and sexual orientation in an efficient and timely manner, but without duplicating the recent inclusion of articles on sexual orientation in traditional law reviews. The Journal specializes in four distinct types of works:

• reports and studies germane to gay and lesbian legal issues
• transcriptions of proceedings, panels and programs
• briefs filed by litigators around the country in key cases
• essays, student work and other forms of traditional law review scholarship which, due to space limitations, may not be published in traditional reviews and journals

The Issues

• Vol. 4.1 Finally and at last! (1998)
• Vol. 3.1 (1997) - Transgender Issues and Sexual Orientation
• Vol. 2.2 (1996) - Romer v. Evans: The Decision and Its Impact
