I agree there.

World hijab day, where non-Muslim women are encouraged to wear hijab, was started by Muslim women in the US to get non-Muslim women to have a way to empathize with what they experience. It seems like this is a continuation of this. I don't get the snark (eta: except about the 'skin darkening').

So what he's arguing is that safe pharmaceutical and medical abortions should be made available to anyone who needs then as early as possible to reduce the occurrences of late term abortions, right?

Years ago I watched my grandfather starve himself to death over the course of a month rather than have the remainder of his life be full of painful cancer treatments. I was young, but it taught me how important living (and dying) with dignity can be. No one, and I mean no one, has the right to judge how anyone…

Please say he lost his medical license as well. I just read the book "Slave" by Mende Nazer, and the descriptions of FGM and the complications it causes just about made me throw up. I honestly can't believe it is still performed by trained, educated physicians.

My mother's main goal in raising her daughters was that we be educated and able to take care of ourselves.
