When the majority is Catholic it is as bad as Islam for women;value the separation between church and state
Nicaragua Anti-Abortion Law Amounts to a Death Sentence
A pregnant 27-year old Nicaraguan woman, "Amelia," with metastatic cancer has been denied medical treatment on the grounds that it might harm her baby.
Nicaragua passed a draconian anti-abortion law in 2008 which criminalizes abortion even in the case of rape or incest or when the mother's life is in danger. Nicaraguan doctors are prohibited from treating pregnant women with cancer, HIV/AIDS, malaria and cardiac diseases, and threatened with prison sentences for providing health services or information related to abortion.
Amelia has effectively been handed a death sentence by her government. Each day she is denied treatment, she edges closer to death; in a tragic irony, she will most likely die before the baby is even born. Her 10-year old daughter will be left without a mother, since the Nicaraguan government values the life of an unborn fetus over that of a mother.
Please ask Luz Patricia Mejía Guerrero, Chair of the Inter-American Commision on Human Rights, to urgently petition Nicaragua's government to allow Amelia treatment and overturn this brutal law, which not only prevents women from receiving essential health services to save their lives but also forces rape and incest victims as young as ten years old to carry their pregnancies to term. And tell Nicaragua's president and other Nicaraguan authorities on health, justice, and women's issues that the international community is watching and not to commit this egregious abuse.
Nicaragua's government must be told that this law is an egregious violation of women's most basic human rights.
Sign the Petition.
March 10 is National Appreciation Day for Abortion Providers. In recent years, this may have seemed like a silly appreciation day: why go out of our way to celebrate people who do their jobs? However, the sad truth is that, in this country, health care providers who give counseling, advice and schedule, and perform abortions do so against mounting hatred and controversy. They do a job that carries not only a stigma in our society, but that bears the risk of being threatened, hurt, or even murdered. Their bravery deserves our heartfelt appreciation.

And then they HIDE behind religion, too, NOT that religion isn't a huge part of the culprit [follow the money trail] it is, but the political forces, are far more sinister, cruel, harsh, with NO mercy, NO help or assistance to Any of these women, and when they Do help them, it's ONLY for a political manipulation, as Soon as they get what they want, they'll kill/dump these women like yesterdays' trash,
and it's the POOR peasant women--who get it the worst, because they are Invisible...and Then, they can simply blame the church [who are yes, partly to blame] and they escape Notice, of their whole manipulation of their policies, to get POWER.
And when you Try to get this word out, among many Powerful Feminists in this nation who Have ties to these political parties, you find Really fast, just how Quick, they discredit you, how they shun you, how they silence you, most of all silence you, with every dirty trick there is--and the Level of BRAINWASHING,
they do, is just mind boggling.
They AIM at younger college women, younger adults, because they are reactionary anyway, they aim their propaganda to them [and they did this in Nicaragua, it was the Women's Groups Green that got this thug into Office, the party, they had NO idea they'd be Betrayed no matter HOW much they were warned by a few who had their EYES opened--those few were neatly exterminated of course] and NOW that these barbaric laws are passed [and they were passed years ago, about five I think], NOW it's too late, for these women,
and you know, they'll do the SAME thing here, the Socialists/Communists are Notorious for this shit, from Vietnam to Laos to China to Nicaragua to Peru to Nepal--they'll USE women's rights as a vehicle,
then they'll turn and stab her in the back--and she's be in worse shape, than she was, under the patriarchy of capitalism. THIS is WHY, Women, need to stop kissing the dicks [seriously, sorry, but it's true] of Male Polemics, and Academic Polemics [same thing] and start Fighting for Women,
as a Nation in their OWN RIGHT.
NOT until THEN, will there Ever be any real liberty for women--Nicaragua, is one perfect example, Western Women, would do well, to Pay attention,
it's not just Catholics, oh no, Nicaragua, was P0LITICAL, BY THE FAR LEFT/LEFT BETRAYALS, TO WOMEN--
that is FACT. The Socialists/Communists, DID THAT--THEY KILLED THIS WOMAN, AND THEY KILL THOUSANDS MORE--with their Islamic Brothers [Hamas, etc],
a woman would be Safer, sad to say, yes, with a Priest, than with these misogynist polemic asswipes. I know, I worked with these Thugs--and they are raping pedophile back stabbing woman hating THUGS.
In solidarity,
Jane [though, I will add, there ARE a few good socialists/communists who ARE true, to the principles, but the THUGS, well, they kill them, once they done with them, why I got out--Nicaragua, was one of those reasons Green, it was NOT Catholics--it was Communists, I can guarantee you on That one.]
Nicaragua is 98% catholic as is Haiti and only 35-40% communist - as show by the continuing loss of elections for the communist party. Ortega is not a communist as much as a nationalist. The communist party has a position in favor of reproductive choice; the catholic church opposes all women's rights. You do the math. I agree the communists are thugs but the catholics are women haters because of their closeted homosexuality and pedophilia.
OK True to an extent...but here is what westerners don't know, is that years ago, due to the fact that the Commies/Maoists could NOT rid of religion, they decided to 'compromise' and work in aiming at getting 'control' of certain religious figures who were sympathetic to their cause, NOT hard to do, with the history of imperialism and US /Western policies supporting the elite-fascist/military regimes in these countries, who yes, were and still are, very oppressive to the working class [working like peasant poor] and native peoples in these countries.
Actually I would say the Maoists were more ahead in 'aligning' themselves with religion than the Leninist-or Stalinist influences, though this Depends on the nation, but in South-Central America, basically it was this belief that well, better to work with, than to subdue because they simply were not going to change people's minds, religion runs very deep in the southern cone. So basically Green, they sold out--
though they Said/say, they are Pro-Women's rights, as it Always has been, the argument and the Solid Platform of the far left ideology, the needs of Women, fall back, for the Needs and Goals of the Working Class. Of course, now this is where it gets interesting, because really, the majority of the working class/MEN [due to the cultures of these countries] don't give a rats ass for women's rights Anyway--it's ONLY when women can be utilized for the purposes of War and Political Organizing, other than that, women are simply just tools, not any different than capitalists.
This is why there were numerous women who yes, Did break away from the far left parties, and there was a HUGE women's party I know that Chavez [they were a Eco-Feminist group] slammed down hard on, which is typically what they do---
what is frustrating is that we have [those who've worked in far left, as I have] tons of Documentation-history/or herstory of these betrayals time and time and time again, yet Women, still will cling to these male centric beliefs,
communism is really a very male centric patriarchal belief, it's Quiverfull without Jesus, why they as far as I am concerned do have a lot in common--they are very strong with dominion beliefs, very strong in the belief that women are property of NATION STATE/men, especially Wombs, meaning, if the Nation State needs children, by golly she will Have them [Romania] and if they don't want children, they will Forcefully abort-or sterilize her [China] -- notice Green, it's NEVER,
NEVER, men being forced to get vasectomies, and bring that up to any die hard Male commie-socialist, you see real quick, just how misogynist and well, how much of patriarchal assholes they truly are. You will find a few, who are not like that, but in my experience, they are very similar to the misogynists who use religion for gold-greed-dominion, be they Catholic or Baptist or Muslim, etc.,
[con't]
but I know, when I was in the party, there was a shocking silence, when Nicaragua passed their anti-abortion law, across the far left board, only a few Women, complained--the men,
simply tossed it off, as a political 'necessity' and that, well, their favorite line,
it's been that way and it's 'nature' and well once Capitalism has been erased THEN one day, like in the far far eon future, women will be Evolved enough, you know Green because we're dumb as monkeys, to maybe one day, fight for our human rights,
and THAT is the attitude, of the Majority of Political MEN in the far left, and Sadly, many women who work in the commissions--they got theirs, to hell with the other women, just like in liberal feminism. Because they got their 'power' and place so yea,
it's really about Power, why I got out of it. Power will manipulate Misery, to get their agenda, their social engineer porgrams, and once they are done using the 'fodder' the poor--and they are no longer necessary,
out they go. You are right too though, a lot of it Does have to do with Nationalism, it's just like here, I couldn't count how many feminist [or women who work on women's issues] will sell out Women, for Nationalism,
Every time--thinking that somehow once the conflict is over that they'll be able to usurp big brother's power,
don't work that way...big brother only gets stronger, and she's eroded any solidarity, outside her little 'group' to really Do anything, that can help her--
Interesting [though not shocking really] though Green, is what the far left does, to women, they do the same to Environment too--because they are scientist-materialists, people are mere numbers to be moved/pulled for progress, and to hell with the mother earth, the animals, the woman, she's simply that primitive animal, if you know what I mean,
this is why, in My opinion, communism and socialism [and don't get me wrong Green there is a LOT about both ideologies I still believe in and strongly support--just not the party apparatus], and Religion [not faith, not spirituality, but organized male structured Religion] are Identical, though they are enemies--they are structured the same, same hierarchy, same hate of earth-nature-woman, same FEAR of actually, and same entitlement thinking that they have, either by God or by Science/Knowledge, this Right, to take Dominion, to Play GOD and to force, their 'utopia' on earth, and on to everyone else,
whether they want it or not.
They are Magistrate--and they Both, have the same means--to an end, to rip the souls away from women/people and to Render them
incapable of
decision.
They are, Magistrate--Dominion, it's more and more, it's hard to tell them apart.
Peace,
Jane
