Welcome To The Dark Side! Part 2

This  will  be  me  continuing  on  the  website  Teens  For  Life,  proving  these  people  wrong.  What's  our  show  tonight,  ladies  and  gents?  It's  Hot  Topics:  Emergency  Contraception!

“Emergency Contraception” (EC) is the term applied to a very high dosage of hormones (40 to 50 times stronger than a daily “birth control” pill) taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual activity. Proponents of EC claim it will prevent unintended pregnancy, but if fertilization has occurred prior to using EC, it will cause the abortion of a human embryo.

Translation:  Evil  sluts  kill  babies  with  their  crazy  pills.

There are three possible ways that EC can work:

1. It can prevent ovulation (the release of the unfertilized egg cell from the ovary). Without ovulation, there is no egg to be fertilized and pregnancy is avoided.

2. It can prevent fertilization.

3. It can prevent implantation of the new developing human embryo in the lining of the uterus. In other words, it can cause an early abortion.

Supporters of EC repeatedly deny that it will cause an early abortion, but that position flies against established medical fact. EC supporters who deny its abortion-causing action do so by redefining when human life begins. In other words, they reject the scientific fact that human life begins with the union of a the sperm and the egg (fertilization) and claim that conception occurs only when the tiny human embryo implants in the uterine wall (implantation). 

Here  comes  the  crazy  "Save  the  Zygotes"  loonies,  so  let's  grab  our  best  throwing  tomatoes.  An  early  abortion,  yipee!  I've  seen  the  facts  these  guys  throw  around  and  they  go  against  science.  And  you  know  what?  When  a  human  life  truly  begins  varies  by  person  to  person  (I  believe  it  begins  when  you're  born,  not  when  I  was  a  zygote)  and  only  that  person's  morality  should  define  when  human  life  begins.  You  anti-choicers  are  trying  to  also  change  when  human  life  begins.  And  the  abortion  war  goes  on.

Here are some other reasons to be concerned about EC:
EC in no way stops or protects against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. It is not a “magic pill” that makes the consequences of sexual activity go away – and those consequences often include STDs that will be with you for life. 

Who  in  the  hell  doesn't  know  this?  Teens  in  abstinence  only  education  classes,  perhaps  (but  my  abstinence-only  class  preached  this  message,  too.  They  were  like:  "Evil  pill  no  save  you!").  But  really,  how  ignorant  are  these  people?  Can't  they  scream  their  abstinence  message  rather  than  trying  to  keeping  it  subtle?

Users of the drug are not being properly informed about the potential abortifacient action of the drug. If this drug is taken after fertilization has occurred, but before the newly formed human embryo implants in the uterine wall, it will cause an early abortion by blocking the embryo from implantation. 

Translation:  Emergency  contraception  goes  against  our  religion  so  we  must  harass  women  into  becoming  anti-choice.  We  also  believe  zygotes  are  people  but  not  women.

Numerous reports from countries where EC has been used for some time, that EC has little or no statistical impact on pregnancy or abortion rates. In fact, one study from the UK shows that abortion rates have risen with widespread distribution of EC. 

What  kind  of  abortion  rates?  Your  crazy  after  fertilization  stuff  or  clinic  abortions?  And  are  these  facts  from  Answers  In  Genesis?  Or  some  UK  Christian  company?  Or  would  you  look  at  actual  facts?

EC places pharmacists under fire. Pharmacists across the country are quickly finding that new abortion-causing drugs are placing them squarely on the front lines of the abortion debate. In Southern Illinois, for example, four pharmacists were recently forced to file a lawsuit after being placed on unpaid leave by Walgreens when they refused to violate their personal consciences by dispensing so-called “morning-after” pills. Walgreens officials claim they were forced into the action because of an executive order by Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich that demands that all pharmacists in the state fill all prescriptions, even if it’s a prescription for an abortion-causing drug. 

Isn't  providing  prescriptions  a  pharmacists  job?

Sexual predators will rely on EC to “cover their tracks”. Easy over-the-counter access to EC is a sexual predator’s dream come true and will lead to intense pressure on young girls by older boys and men to use EC, claiming that it will remove any consequences of sexual activity. 

Emotional  bullshit  blackmail  in  a  nutshell.  So  since  little  boys  can  now  get  "My  First  Condoms",  is  that  also  the  pedophiles  dream  come  true?  And  where  are  the  hell  are  you  getting  this?

Oh  look,  it's  a  GIF  of  an  older  man.  Isn't  he  just  so  frigging  evil  for  being  an  older  man?

EC carries none of the counseling safeguards that normal birth control pill require. Birth control pills are available by prescription only for sound medical reasons: They can cause significant or life-threatening conditions such as blood clots and heart attacks. Birth control pills are contraindicated for women with diabetes, liver problems, heart disease, breast cancer, deep vein thrombosis, and for women who smoke and are over 35. A medical exam is necessary to ensure that none of these contraindications exists. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1.85 million women of reproductive age (18-44) have diabetes; approximately 500,000 do not know that they have the disease.” By contrast, users of EC are not required to have a medical exam or any of the common sense safeguards.

"Sound  medical  reasons"?  Like  for  safe  sex?  

 Stewie  is  looking  at  you  guys.

Lack of scientific studies examining risks. There is a clear lack of scientific studies on the long-term-effects of Plan B with respect to high dosage and repeated use in both women and adolescents. While the patient package directions on Plan B state it is not to be used more than twice a month, the directions and promotions of Plan B state it is also to be used in emergencies.2 These emergencies include unprotected sex and the failure of other birth control devices–factors that may arise more than twice a month. 

"Does emergency contraception have side effects?

Some women feel sick and throw up after taking ECPs. Headache, dizziness, lower stomach cramps, irregular bleeding, breast tenderness, and fatigue also can occur. Progestin-only ECPs cause fewer side effects than combined pills that also contain estrogen. The over-the-counter drug Dramamine 2 can reduce the risk of feeling sick and throwing up. Take two of these pills 30 minutes before taking ECPs. If you throw up after taking ECPs, call your doctor or pharmacist.
IUD placement has risks of pelvic infection or harming the uterus. But these risks are quite rare. If the IUD is left in place to be used as birth control, it can cause side effects such as cramps and heavy bleeding during your period."

This  is  from  a  pro-women  website  providing  accurate  information  who  isn't  afraid  of  spreading  facts.   But  these  kind  of  things  happen  with  the  pill,  too.  You're  just  pissed  whenever  a  woman  isn't  pregnant.

STD rates have skyrocketed in countries where Plan B has been deregulated. Since becoming available in the United Kingdom in 2001, Plan B usage among teenage girls has more than doubled. STDs with sharp increases include chlamydia and gonorrhea, with the highest increases in 16 to 19 year olds.3 Because STD’s such as chlamydia can cause infertility in women, the impact that increased access to and usage of Plan B has on STD rates could have a direct causal relationship to increased future infertility rates of U.S. women. 

This  is  solely  to  scare  women  from  having  sex  or  else  later  on  they'll  be  infertile.  Can  you  try  not  using  emotional  blackmail?

Link of Plan B to ectopic pregnancy. Statements from the World Health Organization and leading medical officials taken together provide a warning that increased risk of ectopic pregnancy exists with Plan B usage.6 Additionally, common physical side-effects a woman experiences following Plan B usage often mimic ectopic pregnancy symptoms, including cramping and severe pain. Consequently, there is valid concern for Plan B usage to actually mask ectopic pregnancy, an acute, life-threatening condition. 

Translation:  You  want  babies?  Stop  being  such  fucking  whores!

Supporters of emergency contraception are playing semantics with the language, and that is why they are so deceptive. This is a decades-old controversy. Until the mid-1960’s it was universally accepted that fertilization was the beginning of pregnancy. Under political pressure intended to accommodate abortion-causing drugs, a new definition of pregnancy moved the beginning of pregnancy from fertilization to implantation, but the semantics do nothing to change medical fact – physical human life begins at the point when a human egg is fertilized by a human sperm. At that point, a unique human being has been created that will continue to develop until birth unless that process is interrupted by a spontaneous miscarriage or an abortion. 

When  the  pill  was  released  it  helped  so  many  women  be  able  to  have  more  sex.  Better  birth  control  is  something   we  need.  You  need  to  accept  that  the  world  is  growing  more  liberal.  You  just  want  to  use  women  as  walking  ovaries. This  isn't  the  1950's,  people  are  beginning  to  understand  women  are  more  important  than  embryos!

It will take approximately 7 to 10 days for the newly formed human embryo to implant in the uterine wall. If that human embryo is prevented from implantation through the use of a drug like an emergency contraceptive, it is being aborted. 

Stop  spreading  your  women-hating  trash!  You  use  bullshit  like  this  to  dissuade  women  from  safe  sex  by  making  them  fear  that  they're  killing  a  "baby".

What's  our  next  episode,  folks?  Hot  Topics:  Euthanasia.  *Sigh*

Reviewing Without Reading #2: Annexed by Sharon Dogar

Another  post  where  I  review  it  a  book  while  only  having  read  part  or  none  of  it  (the  first  was  on  the  House  of  Night  comic  book).  I  was  planning  on  reading  this  book  and  almost did  once  but  I  ended  up  having  to  bring  it  back  to  the  library  to  avoid  fees.  I  stopped  my  idea  of  reading   it  because  of  this.  Reasons:

1.  Study  your  characters  and  make  Peter,  I  don't  know,  Peter?!  He  was  shy.  Sharon  made  him  completely  the  opposite  of  who  he  really  was.  That's  just  sad  considering  we  don't  actually  know  that  much  about  him.

2.  Sex.  Yes  I  believe  Anne  Frank  and  Peter  were  in  love  and  I  do  believe  they  had  hormones  flying  off  the  wall,  but  I  don't  believe  they  ever  had  sex.  I  know  sex  concerned  both  of  them  personally  before  going  into  hiding  and  I  can  understand  the  idea  of  them  wanting  to  have  sex  with  each  other,  but  this  is  just  inexcusable.  And  what  happened  to  both  of  them  was  awful.  I  read  Anne's  best  friend  Hannah's  account  on  her  in  the  camp  and  I  was  almost  in  tears.  We  don't  read  Anne  Frank's  diary  for  sex,  we  read  it  to  understand  the  last  years  of  a  girl's  life  and  the  tragedy  happening  because  of  it.  This  is  exploiting  a  tragedy.  

3.  I  will  soon  be  reading  Anne  Frank  and  Me.  The  girl  in  the  book  only  sees  Anne  at  the  concentration  camps.  I  plan  to  review  it  later,  but  for  now  I  find  it  much  more  realistic  to  Anne  than  this  book  ever could  be  even  if  it  involves  time  traveling!

4.  You  could  write  your  own  novel.  You  want  sex?  Write  about  a  Jewish  boy  and  girl  in  hiding  who  happen  to  be  horny  as  hell.  You  can  write  it,  but  don't  use  Anne  Frank. 

I  will  not  be  reading  this  over  and  completely  hyper-sexual  trash.

May  Anne,  and  all  her  friends  and   family  who  are  dead,  whether  they  died  in  the  Holocaust  or  not,  rest  in  peace.

Side  note:  I  learned  about  Hannah  through  this  amazing, five  star  book.  I  strongly  recommend  it.

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick Review

I  found  millions  of  reasons  to  hate  this  book,  so  I  think  this  is  more  of  a  rant  than  a  review.

Let  me  just  say  I  was  a  little  too  judgemental  on  this  book  even  before  I  read  it  but  I  decided  I  shouldn't  judge  it  before  reading  it.  Man,  this  was  a  book  I  wish  I'd  discarded. 

Nora  is  your  average  girl.  She  goes  to  school,  has  a  best  friend  that  sucks,  and  a  mom  who  left  her  behind  because  her  dad  was  murdered  and  the  reason  was  never  explained.
Then  she  meets  Patch.
Patch  is  a  misogynistic  bastard  who  sexually  and  emotionally,  and  even  physically  harasses  her.  He  gets  away  with  it  because  of  the  misogynistic  bitch  of  a  coach/unbelievable  biology  teacher  where  they  never  even  learn  about  sex.  Apparently  him  doing  that  to  her  is  fine  in  Becca's  book,  in  mine  that  guy  would  be  in  deep  shit.
So  anyway  I'm  sure  you  get  the  idea.  So  Nora  falls  for  this  lowly  piece  of  trash  because  hes  sexy  and  proves  she  has  no  brain  whatsoever.  And  her  BFF  falls  for  him,  too.  Bleh. 
Anyway  Nora  thinks  she's  going  crazy  because  she  hears  Patch  in  her  mind  as  he  stalks  her  (stalking  is  NOT  romantic)  and  she  believes  that  she  nearly  died  on  a  roller  coaster  flying  off  and  nobody  noticed  it  (I  didn't  understand  that  scene  at  all).  Nora  doesn't  know  what  to  do,  she's  both  afraid  of  Patch  and  at  the  same  time  thinking  about  him  whenever  she  touches  her  crotch  in  the  shower.  Oh  what  does  a  poor,  brainless  girl  like  her  do?  Why  of  course  she  falls  in  l(ust)ve  with  Patch!  And  when  guys  stalk  her,  she  never  calls  the  police  or  does  anything.  She  allows  herself  into  a  motel  room  with  him.  Come  on,  how  big  of  an  idiot  can  a  human  truly  be?

I  never  felt  anything  for  Nora,  plain  and  simple.  She  was  annoying,  brainless,  and  confusing.  I  may  be  an  ace  lesbian  but  say  if  there  was  a  girl  version  of  Patch  (the  idea  is  too  sick  for  me  to  even  imagine  what  she'd  look  like)  I  wouldn't  be  dating  her.  I  would  instead  be  busy  reding  some  feminist  novel  and  telling  her  to  stop  harassing  me  before  she  can  even  have  a  rape  fantasy.  I  am  strong  willed,  this  proves  feminism  can  be  a  good  thing!  Had  Nora  been  a  feminist  basically  nothing  would  have  happened  in  this  novel!  That  would  have  been  fantastic!  Sadly  it  wouldn't  be  on  The  New  York  Times  bestseller  list.
The  romance  between  Nora  and  Patch  was  unreal.  I  hated  it  and  I  honestly  started  to  wonder  where  the  shirtless  werewolf  guy  was. 
Anyway  I'm  now  going  to  mention  a  mindless  day  time  soap  opera:  General  Hospital!  I've  never  seen  a  second  of  it  but  I  know  that  the  one  woman  who  got  raped  fell  in  love  with  and  married  her  rapist!  In  other  words:  What  the  fuck?!  This  clearly  happened  because  I  was  waiting  for  the  big  rape  scene,  here's  how  it  would  go:
Patch  came  up  to  me.  I  noticed  his  muscles,  oh  gawd  he  was  so  hot!  Creepy  as  he  was,  I  couldn't  help  myself.
"I  won't  hurt  you,"  he  said  soothingly.  His  hand  was  on  my  crotch,  gawd  this  was  better  than  the  shower.  Then  he  tore  down  my  pants  and  Vicky's  Secret  thong  to  reveal  his  Holy  Grail.  Then  he  and  I  had  our  own  living  porno.  It  was  so  awesome  even  though  I  like  never  said  yes!Why  did  the  editor  remove  that  part  of  the  book?
I  didn't  even  get  into  the  action,  the  storyline  was  too  bad. 
Anyway  there  was  WAY  too  much  disorted  religion  in  the  book.  Here's  a  list:
-Nephilim  are  NOT  immortal,  in  the  book  of  Judges  some  guys  (I  think  Caleb's  family,  I'm  not  sure)  went  on  top  of  a  mountain  and  killed  over  30  of  them.  No  sacrifices  whatsoever.
-In  France  in  the  1800's  I'm  pretty  sure  you  knew  what  a  nephilim  looked  like  considering  around  that  time  religion  was  everywhere.
-It  blames  Eve  for  the  fall  of  man.  Becca  Fitzpatrick  is  a  saint  because  for  years  saints  blamed  Eve  and  all  other  women  for  the  falling  into  sin!  For  that  Becca  you  get  a  personal  fuck  you!

So  I'll  just  say  this:  Nora  compared  herself  to  a  bar  stool,  Patch  is  a  misogynistic  phyco,  and  everyone  else  sucked,  too.  The  End.

Oh  and  one  part  that  really  pissed  the  feminist  I  am  off  was  where  Vee,  Nora's  BFF  was  talking  about  sex  she  was  licking  a  fucking  lollipop!  Sex  and  lollipops  don't  mix  because  in  men's  pedophile  magazines  (or  regular  men's  porn  magazines)  girls  lick  lollipops  as  a  sex  act  to  give  the  men  a  big  fat  dick  pointed  to  heaven!  What  a  great  subliminal  message!

1  star.

Cover  comments:  I  didn't  like  the  cover  at  all.  I  didn't  get  it,  plus  why  does  the  guy  have  to  be  shirtless?  Is  my  lack  of  a  sex  drive  towards  anyone  or  anything  failing  me  here?
