Quick Takes – Abortion In The Age Of Coronavirus: No Tests; No Telemedicine; No Doctor

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Can’t let a pandemic get in the way of death!

     First, a little mood music:

“Compared to Planned Parenthood, I’m an amateur!”

     Requiring testing for Coronavirus before a major surgery can be undertaken seems like a reasonable requirement. The ACLU’s obsession with abortion, however, runs contrary to this.

“The latest effort from abortion providers to stop states from restricting abortion during the COVID-19 outbreak is an especially troubling one: In Arkansas, the American Civil Liberties Union and the state’s lone abortion clinic have sued to block a policy that would require women to obtain a negative coronavirus test before getting an abortion.

“…

“The previous week, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals had upheld the Arkansas policy that included elective abortions among the non-essential procedures that the state limited during the COVID-19 response in order to prevent the spread of disease and conserve medical equipment.”

Making The Abnormal Normal Requires Making The Normal Abnormal

     As it has been shown before, abnormality is legitimized by stealing names and words, which simultaneously strips natural and normal things of existence in people’s conscious minds. That this conflicts with reality and will not long stand is beside the point that destruction will nonetheless be wrought.

     The term “gender”, for example, was declared to be separate and distinct from “sex”, and terms like “man” or pronouns like “her” were appropriated. And now a judge has declared, in court, that in a case involving discrimination on the basis of sex, one must refer to biological males as “transgender females”. Quoth the judge:

“What I’m saying is you must refer to them as ‘transgender females’ rather than as ‘males.’ Again, that’s the more accurate terminology, and I think that it fully protects your client’s legitimate interests. Referring to these individuals as ‘transgender females’ is consistent with science, common practice and perhaps human decency. To refer to them as ‘males,’ period, is not accurate, certainly not as accurate, and I think it’s needlessly provocative. I don’t think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer to them as transgender females. That is what the case is about. This isn’t a case involving males who have decided that they want to run in girls’ events. This is a case about girls who say that transgender girls should not be allowed to run in girls’ events. So going forward, we will not refer to the proposed intervenors as ‘males’; understood?”

New Woke Sexuality: Rabies

     Coming to us from, of course, Tumblr, is a sexuality for the very special… Rabies.

     Most of this is parody of the original Tumblr post, though at best that one was a perfect example of Poe’s Law.

Firing Line Friday: A Mini-Debate about Health Care: Part I: Politics

     In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.

     From Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” proposal to calls to repeal not just Obamacare, but many other Federal regulations, the question of healthcare and government policy is not a new one, as Mr. Buckley and guests at a healthcare mini-debate can show. Here is Part I.

Quick Takes – No Cis-Normative Appellations: Stickers Of Oppression; International Pronouns Day; Y’all Woke

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but using wrong pronouns makes you Hitler!!1!

     First, a little mood music:

     Carrying on…

     Apparently British police have nothing better to do than to hunt down people who dare express biological fact.

“A police force has been accused of ‘incredible irresponsibility’ for treating the display of transphobic stickers around Oxford as a ‘serious crime’.

“Some of the stickers, which have been dotted around the city centre, state: ‘Woman: noun. Adult human female’ and ‘Women don’t have penises’.

“Thames Valley Police has announced that those responsible could be charged with a public order offence and has appealed for witnesses.”

Hungary Poised to Reject Transgenderism

     The European Union is all in on transgendersim and is willing to redefine words to a degree that Ingsoc would never dare. That transgenderism is, at best, an exercise in sympathetic magic or an exercise in pseudo-Lysenkoism, has not stopped the relentless drive to redefine words to try to deny reality.

When it comes to push-back there is both good and bad news. The good news is that an EU country has seen legislation introduced that makes it clear that “gender” refers to one’s immutable biological sex. The bad news is that it was introduced in Hungary, where Prime Minister Vicktor Orban has been ruling with populist authoritarianism.

“The Hungarian government looks likely to push through legislation that would end the legal recognition of transgender people by defining gender as ‘biological sex based on primary sex characteristics and chromosomes,’ therefore making it impossible for people to legally change their gender.”

Taco Tuesday: Cinco De Mayo Corona-chan Edition

     But of course it wouldn’t be 2020 if the confluence of Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday wasn’t interrupted by Corona-chan.

     But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy massive quantities of tasty beverages and tasty, tasty tacos! If you can’t meet up with people, make the phone calls, social media, and video chats a bit different and memorable, like by wearing little novelty sombreros. You’re only limit is you imagination.

     Your humble author will be hitting the drive-throughs of local taco joints and tipping extra. Pick-up and delivery are also options in most places. But if you want to make your own, you can just follow Soopermexican’s recipe so easy even a member of Congress could follow it.

Victims of Communism Day, 2020

     Today is Victims of Communism Day. It is also “May Day”, where “useful idiots” march and demonstrate in free countries, while those who have to actually live under Communism are made to march lest they face dire consequences.

     Today, also, is a time when the People’s Republic of China is at the center of attention due to the Wuhan Bat Soup Death Plague ChiCom Bio-Weapon of DOOM (with sprinkles*). However, this is just still a minor catastrophe brought on by the Communist Chinese. The Chinese Communist Party’s sins are myriad, and could take up well over a decade of “Victims of Communism Day”. Today, though, let us look back at the greatest mass murder event in history, dwarfing Stalin’s Soviet Union and Hitler’s Nazi Germany in sheer death toll: The Great Leap Forward, which killed off tens of millions of people.
