A century earlier Marsiglio of Padua had praised ideas very close to popular sovereignty & he remained "the accursed Marsiglio" into the 19th century.
Very little in Catholicism has pointed to #democracy.

Today, 600,000 of Indiaβs 1 million accredited social health activists (#ASHA workers) have gone on strike for 2 days to demand better and timely pay, and a legal status that ensures minimum wages. Follow this thread to know more:
In Bihar, only ~20% of #ASHA workers have been given masks & gloves for #COVID19 screening. Without proper equipment, ASHAs fear they will catch the infection, said Chunni Kumari, an ASHA from East Champaran district, in our May 2020 story indiaspend.com/why-bihars-dooβ¦

Sex can be fun, pleasurable and beautiful; but the aftermath sometimes can be unpleasant especially when you know that you didn't secure your 'territory' during the fun ride.

A thread on the probable effects of reforming #abortion laws, based on research. First, restricting abortion laws will probably reduce abortion but only marginally. Classic example: Romania 1966. Fertility spiked after abortion was made illegal (tinyurl.com/yxehyykk) but
the initial fertility spike quickly petered out. Women however massively kept relying on (illegal, unsafe) abortion for birth control, also in the absence of modern contraceptives. Result: spiking maternal death rates.(tinyurl.com/yx8tod4r) that dropped after 1989 when
the restrictive abortion law was overturned again. At that time, Romania had the highest maternal death rate in Europe (jstor.org/stable/1966479β¦).
