Yahoo News · Researchers make gut-wrenching discovery after studying rainwater around the world: 'We're not escaping that'By Kristen Lawrence

Review of data for over 55,000 women between 2006 and 2010 found that those who had given birth at least once had an approximately 30% lower risk of bipolar disorder and major depression. The effect was greater for two or more children than for just one.

#Trump recently issued new guidelines for the #Transportation Dept, surprisingly prioritizing spending & #infrastructure for “communities w/ #marriage & #birth rates higher than the national average.” In other words, communities w/large #traditional #families. We know what you’re probably thinking: That means #rural & small town America—presumably Trump’s core constituency—will disproportionately benefit from these funds.

But you could very well be wrong.

"#US Govt Dept to Tie Funding to #Marriage and #Birth Rates"

Jesus fucking Christ

I think what we can say about the #conservative view of #humanity is that they view #human #society as a fungal growth:

1. tons of kids

2. dumb as a bag of rocks

(since #Trump plans on gutting the Dept of #Education)

I'm wondering what #conservatives think their grand vision of humanity means for the #USA's future #productivity and #success

#Happiness of course means nothing to them

Newsweek · US government department to tie funding to marriage and birth ratesAn undated memo urged the DOT to give precedence to "communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average."

The American Administration has a point on birth citizenship actually.
A daft one, but,
If a foetus is a person from conception* then anyone born 9 months* after the mother was in the USA should be a citizen, rather than excluding people who had been exported in utero

* they have their timing wrong by a couple of weeks as well, but sex/reproduction is one of those things they are odd about.

By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized #fetal #personhood.

Pro-abortion activists have long warned that fetal personhood,
an ideology that calls for providing equal human rights to a fetus
(even if it’s a cluster of cells),
will effectively strip pregnant people of their own rights.

The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a #murderer.

But the concept of fetal personhood is not only weaponized to limit abortion access
—it’s also been leveraged at the state level to restrict in vitro fertilization ( #IVF ) access for intended parents in places such as Alabama,
and even used to limit access to forms of #birth #control.
In May, the Texas GOP attempted to transform fetal personhood into law, claiming that “abortion is not healthcare, it is homicide,”
and called on lawmakers to extend “equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization"

The New Republic · Trump Sneaks Dangerous Rights for Fetuses Into Executive OrderDonald Trump slipped the anti-abortion language into an otherwise unrelated order.

The body is like Mary,
and each of us has a Jesus inside.

Who is not in labour, holy labour? Every creature is.

See the value of true art, when the earth or a soul is in the mood to create beauty;

for the witness might then for a moment know, beyond any doubt,

God is really there within,

so innocently drawing life from us with Her umbilical universe

– infinite existence …

though also needing to be born.
Yes, God also needs to be born!

Birth from a hand’s loving touch.
Birth from a song,
from a dance,
breathing life into this world.

The body is like Mary,
and each of us, each of us
has a Christ within
