An increase in hate crimes during election season at Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture

Just reposting the link. Read and see how ignorance hurts everybody.

Last-minute Bush abortion ruling causes furor - International Herald Tribune:

A last-minute Bush administration plan to grant sweeping new protections to health care providers who oppose abortion and other procedures on religious or moral grounds has provoked a torrent of objections, including a strenuous protest from the government agency that enforces job-discrimination laws.

I have no words except this, it is not a doctor’s job to JUDGE a person’s morality when it comes to providing healthcare. Morality is not the concern of doctors and other healthcare workers. I believe strongly in a woman’s right to CHOOSE. Our social welfare system is already straining under the weight of babies and children born to parents who are not prepared emotionally, physically or economically to be parents. I’m also for teaching our children the truth about sex and how to be responsible for keeping yourself healthy and safe, not for only teaching that one shouldn’t have sex at all.  The forbidden always sounds much more fun than waiting.

Did some tweaks to the sidebars, and have added new header images to the theme.

The new Overlords :

Jazz is the teeny fluff of gray, Sansa is the calico and her sister is Oryx, the tabby. Jazz is Queen of the Overlords, if such a thing is possible?

Two of my headers are from personal photographs and the others are from various places on the Net, so all credit goes to the original photographers. All I did was crop them to fit.

Also added a new toy: Abbey Links. It’s my lifestream, everything I link or post to the Net.

Also pondering switching my gallery to NextGen Gallery and moving my custom pages to WP for easy management and one spot to manage them.
