  • No, ”the stick” IS rehab, schooling, counseling etc. Or it should be. Prisons in Sweden are rehabilitation oriented, but putting hardened criminals together with kids is not the right approach.

    Many of these kids have been groomed and then hooked on drugs like Tramadol, so that a small reward like a nice e-scooter, designer shoes or money has overrun their already lacking sense of consequences.

    We have had kids who got sent into substandard rehab facilities and got murdered for refusing to commit murders. So before the law change sends more kids into limbo, we desperately need to have solutions for rehab in place. Which we lack.








  • Evil. And rewarding evildoers.

    Texas House Democratic Caucus and the Texas Women’s Health Caucus in a press release also critiqued HB 7 for including provisions “stating it cannot be challenged in Texas state courts” and that would prevent “defendants from recovering legal costs even when they win”, which they said “creates a system designed to bankrupt anyone who dares to help Texas women.”

    “This bill was written specifically to allow extremist organizations to enrich themselves while terrorizing innocent Texas women,” Texas House Minority Leader Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, said in a statement.







  • The combined long term effects seem to:

    • Force women who got pregnant (through consensual activities or otherwise) to give birth
    • Refuse to give sufficient maternal leave after birth
    • Refuse support for medical costs for the family after birth
    • Refuse family support such as affordable daycare
    • Refuse free lunches for school kids
    • Move money from public schools to charter/private
    • Punish women for being unwed and working by taking their kids away
    • Kids in the foster system tend to grow up maltreated and malnourished, so they might acquire anti-social behaviour to cope or survive
    • These kids tend to end up as felons
    • They provide legal slave labour for their state
    • They are not allowed to vote
    • … as if it mattered, as the voting places in the areas where they might live later have been decreased so much that they’d have to stand in line for a whole day and risk losing their eventual jobs (if they had one)
    • Oops, got preggers by trying to keep her job, apartment or hoping for a relationship.

    And the circle starts again.
