Or ''Today's Sign The Apocalypse Is Upon Us'', although I strongly doubt that...
A Kansas medical doctor is in trouble (i.e. on the verge of losing her license) for ''the “sin” of not forcing a mentally ill ten-year old to carry her uncle’s baby to term''. (Technically, she actually lost it.) Her uncle's rape baby.
That is just fucked, no matter what your opinion of ''pro choice/pro life'', or Law, or justice, or family.
I mean, shit: the kid has already been forced to endure what she went through, and now she'd have to be forced to carry, give birth to and (!!!) raise this reminder of rape and incest? As a ten-year old?
You know how The Right say situations degrade because we'd been too permissive for too long? Well, yeah: we've been too permissive of letting nutjobs ruin common sense on all levels of society for too long, for power abusers to protect other types of abusers and...
Ok, hold up. I may be going too far because this hits me where it hurts: child abuse, and human rights.
Right-wing nutjobs have a right to exist and to free speech.
But that should never come before a victim's rights, human rights, and the actual protection of children (not of the ''I don't like what's on TV'' type, the real one).
I feel like the human race has lost just by having to type this.
You know what, though? At least the kid did get the abortion. And hopefully another state will grant Dr. Ann Neuhaus her license and she can get back to doing what she does best (practice medicine) rather than getting her ass kicked in court. Fuck Kansas.
