(tw: rape)

"I want you to take out of my tummy what the old man put there,” - 11yo girl raped by her grandmother's husband in #Argentina. Girl and her mother wanted an abortion. Anti-abortion doctors dragged their feet & performed c-section at 23 weeks. france24.com/en/20190227-ar…
"The State is responsible for torturing Lucia," said #NiUnaMenos, which means 'not one less,' one of the feminist organizations leading the campaign to legalize abortion. #Argentine law allows for abortion in extreme cases, such as rape or when the mother's life is in danger.
#Argentine authorities often drag their feet until legal window for an abortion has passed. At 23wks, doctors deemed the girl to be in danger but instead of abortion, they performed a c-section. The 5month-old fetus was extracted alive but has almost no chance of surviving.

I have stood under a podium on which Gaddafi conducted a news conference where I asked him the first question, at an event just outside of Tripoli in 1996. Tell me, did you meet or report on Gaddafi?
In 1996, I was a Reuters correspondent in #Cairo. I went to #Libya to cover the 27th anniversary of the “Green Revolution.”I don’t have access to the Reuters articles I wrote from #Libya but here are some opeds I’ve written about Gaddafi the dictator and the hypocrisy of the West
#Gaddafi’s quirks should never have distracted from his abysmal human rights record. Arbitrary arrests, a muzzled press, a ban on political parties and the squandering of #Libya's oil wealth have never been laughing matters for Libyans. washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

I have called Trump the American Sisi because of his authoritarianism. I’m adding a new name: American Gaddafi because he talks and talks and talks endlessly. #CPAC
Sympathies for journalists who have to cover this endless American Gaddafi speech. Trump on a podium is what happens when a narcissist finds a mic and falls in love with his own voice. #CPAC
American Gaddafi. Trump’s speeches get longer and longer the more desperate and the more authoritarian he gets #CPAC

Unprecedented #Saudi crackdown vs feminism jailed 17 women’s rights activists since May. Several were tortured. One was waterboarded: torture usually associated w/terrorism. For regime, feminism=terrorism. Now they’ve been charged twitter.com/monaeltahawy/s…
I made that video soon after Rahaf Mohamed escaped #Saudi Arabia in January. I stand by everything I said.
De facto leader of #Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman:
- May 2018 detained & ordered torture of women’s rights activists
- June 2018 lifted the driving ban
- Feb 2019 appointed first woman as Saudi ambassador
- March 2019 charged detained women’s rights activists.

On radio this morning, Virginia governor Ralph Northam defended the state Democrats’ new bill that would allow abortion until birth, suggesting that a born-alive infant could be allowed to die if a mother wanted an abortion. Get the details at @NRO: nationalreview.com/corner/virgini…
Northam also lied about the substance of the bill, claiming that late-term abortions would require the consent of more than one physician. In fact, the bill erases that requirement and allows just one doctor to make the decision.
Here’s the video of Northam’s interview, in which he seems to be defending allowing born-alive infants to die on the table after birth. Of note: Ralph Northam is a pediatric neurologist.

It was almost Christmas and Murrayfield was teeming with members of the Scotland team as they got ready for their annual Christmas trip to Paris. The whole of Murrayfield was in chaos as everyone packed for the big trip...
“Greeg did you buy me an adapter for my razor?” asked Toony
“The shop has sold out. You’ll have to just grow what’s left of your hair out” replied his captain.
Two of the younger members of the team, Finn Russell and Adam Hastings, known to the rest as “Rustings” walked up to Greeg.
“Uncle Nel won’t let us watch the movie and all the big lads are watching”
“Well if Uncle Nel won’t let you watch it must be really bad” said Greeg

Well. Fuck. Me and my big mouth. When I said what I did this morning, I assumed it would be ONE ACCOUNT. Not.... multiple. -__-

I'm happy to admit I made a huge mistake there.
But ya know what? Fine. I'll set an example of practicing what I preach here.

I guess this will be a good opportunity for one last thread about this whole "anti-white" topic.

To add to the two other ones I made previously.

If you noticed though I haven't tweeted a lot in the last few hours.....
... now you know why.

I was reading. I've sifted through the tweets on pretty much all these accounts. (I skipped the pedophile one because that would derail too much off the topic, imo.)

1) WHY WOMEN KEEP SILENT

So, I was raped when I was about four. It never occurred to me to say anything until I was about eleven.
2) At four, I didn't know what the term rape meant; I knew what had been done and that it wasn't right but who would I tell?? I was ashamed.
3) I remember thinking I'd be mortified if my parents ever found out I'd been a "participant" in this lewd act. God forbid they found out.
