Reproductive Justice is the complete physical, mental, spiritual, political, social, and economic well-being of women and girls, based on the full achievement and protection of women’s human rights. This definition as outlined by Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice (ACRJ) offers a new perspective on reproductive issues advocacy, pointing out that for Indigenous women and women of color it is important to fight equally for (1) the right to have a child; (2) the right not to have a child; and (3) the right to parent the children we have, as well as to control our birthing options, such as midwifery. We also fight for the necessary enabling conditions to realize these rights. This is in contrast to the singular focus on abortion by the pro-choice movement that excludes other social justice movements. Berkeley Law It's triple next level euphemism, but more often found in academic environments and activists organizations until recently. Abortion, actually Choice, you know it's bodily autonomy ... well really it's Reproductive Rights, no make that Women's Rights, ..., ..., justice polls well let's stick that in a academic framework | ||

Multiple parties can be to blame for a situation but not all parties are relevant. As far as it relates to the political administration of the US what matters if how the US deals with the children it finds itself responsible for. Obviously human traffickers are responsible for the trafficking of children but these candidates are not applying for the job of leading a human trafficking agency. If they say "well we shouldn't even have that problem, someone else caused it" that doesn't help address how they would deal with the problem that they do have. If someone was applying to manage a mismanaged orphanage I would expect them to talk about how they planned to fix the orphanage, not just bitch about irresponsible parents. Saying that there shouldn't be any orphans and the real blame for the rampant abuse at the orphanage lies with the parents is not a good response to questions about how to stop the orphans being abused. | ||

I've never been a fan of Drumpf, partly because as John Oliver should already know as a British person, Trump already means fart. Feel free to PM me to report it if someone is getting carried away with that childish namecalling shit though and I'll take a look. | ||

Beyond that, this idea that Trump is leading us into war is absurd. He’s been more pacifist than Obama. | ||

While the Iran deal is absolutely a thing the US should be a part of there isn't the time in a debate format to educate the populace on why pulling out of the Iran deal unilaterally is monumentally stupid. I expect that they, like everyone else, knows that all they've done is reintroduced Iran into the international community and then preemptively broken the US side of the agreement, giving Iran justification to break its commitments without sanction. But it's much easier to waffle in the centre than say "We bought something we couldn't return and then trashed it to spite the guy who sold it to us. We should untrash it because it didn't hurt them, just us." | ||

Do you recall how last week Trump said he ordered an attack on Iran only to countermand it 15 minutes before the strike because he suddenly realized (?) that people might get hurt in the attack. Obama made peace with Iran while Trump tried to attack them last week. I'm not entirely sure how you see the peace treaty as more likely to lead to war with Iran than the military attack but I'm absolutely confident that you won't explain it to us either way. | ||

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Iran now that the new sanctions are in place. Their nuts are really in a vice. | ||
