DOING THIS AGAIN— because Pottermore is open to the public now
SUP magical bitches? Let’s be friends at Hogwarts. I’m NoxScale30561— add me!!
The doctor and nurse were professional and kind, and it was clear that they understood our sorrow. They too apologized for what they had to do next. For the third time that day, I exposed my stomach to an ultrasound machine, and we saw images of our sick child forming in blurred outlines on the screen.
“I’m so sorry that I have to do this,” the doctor told us, “but if I don’t, I can lose my license.” Before he could even start to describe our baby, I began to sob until I could barely breathe. Somewhere, a nurse cranked up the volume on a radio, allowing the inane pronouncements of a DJ to dull the doctor’s voice. Still, despite the noise, I heard him. His unwelcome words echoed off sterile walls while I, trapped on a bed, my feet in stirrups, twisted away from his voice.
From “The Right Not to Know,” aka, if you can read this and still support mandatory ultrasound laws, you are heartless. (via jessicavalenti)

Ban of abortion after 6 weeks passes Mississippi House
JACKSON, Miss. — A Mississippi House bill would effectively ban abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.
The bill would require doctors to search for a fetal heartbeat before performing an abortion and, if a heartbeat is found, would make going ahead with the procedure illegal.
The bill passed the House on Wednesday and now goes to the Senate, where a similar bill died in committee.
House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton, says the bill will ban 90 percent of the abortions in the state because most women seek abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detectable.
The bill allows exemptions if the woman’s life is at risk or no fetal heartbeat can be found. There are no exemptions for rape and incest victims.
The bill is among several supported by anti-abortion groups.

This is an embryo at 6 weeks LMP (or about 28 days since fertilization):
Actual size 4-6 millimeters!
Up to 6 1/2 weeks calculated from the 1st day of the last menstruation cycle, no embryo can be visualized yet, therefore merely a gestational sac can be seen.
But, yeah, whatevs. This sounds like a great law to pass.
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is fucking outrageous.

Georgia Rep Wants To Force Women To Carry Stillborn Fetuses…Like Cows Do
In today’s news about more men who want to control women’s bodies, Georgia’s state representative, Terry England, wants to force us to carry stillborn fetuses to term–just like cows and pigs do, he says. Because, you know, women are just like barnyard animals.
England was speaking on the floor of the Georgia legislature in favor of HB 954, a bill which makes it illegal to obtain an abortion after 20 weeks, which is fine for him to take that stance and many people would even agree with that. However, he was pushing for that law to also apply to women who are carrying a stillborn fetus or one that is likely to die before it reaches term, making it illegal for women to have the dead fetus removed until their bodies do so naturally.
As if that insensitivity wasn’t enough, he then referenced the livestock on the farm where he once worked and how they had to sometimes deliver stillborn animals:
Life gives us many experiences…I’ve had the experience of delivering calves, dead and alive. Delivering pigs, dead or alive. It breaks our hearts to see those animals not make it.
In other words, if a cow or pig can give birth to a dead baby, then a woman should too. So what if it’s just plain cruel to force a woman to carry a stillborn fetus to term and then make her undergo labor. We are no different than cows or pigs, right? Yeah, that’s logic that just makes a lot of sense and is filled with so much compassion and understanding of women.
Representative England then proceeded to tell the story of a young man who was opposed to a bill outlawing chicken fighting, saying he would give up all of his chickens if the legislature simply took away women’s right to an abortion.
So now women’s rights are equated to those of pigs, cows…and chickens?

My boyfriend is trying to get his business started, so if you like nerf/dart guns, narf wars, or humans versus zombies, or you know people who do, please take a moment to share! This is his passion and I’d really like to see him succeed.
WHY in Merlin’s name. Things are perfect, only to be ruined. It’s like not wanting to know what day you’re going to die, because you dread it.
It’s a year away and I’m as depressed as if it were happening now :(

If everyone was Scorpio-born the human race would soon stop the endless cycle of karmic debt, because we would all have to own up to our role in the evils of the world.
