On the Plate....this accuracy.

On the plate is so accurate.

I live in a constant flux of clutter and decluttering. I swear it breeds when I have my back turned, like coathangers. ugh.

Thanks for a methaphor. ^)
I was just reading posts in some CF comms plus where I live one of the big news is church collecting signatures for further anti-abortion laws, so the "breeding coathangers" really got me thinking about some absurdist art someone should probably make :)

Wow. The 20 week ban is up in the senate here, and I am dreading it passing. I keep writing my rep but of course he is all for it. =(

The coat hanger thing is brilliant on your part, that would make an awesome statement.

I'm in Russia. Must have chosen "Hard" on difficulty settings before the current incarnation ;)

Sadly, I have no arts talent whatsoever. Can't paint and whenever I write it comes out convoluted and over-prolix. So we have to hope someone else picks that up.

They blame abortion for a dwindling population. Next on the list is Birth Control, or do they already make that hard to get? Wow.

Just my personal opinion, but I think we could do with more dwindling in the populations. Especially here in America. I don't think we are in any danger of becoming extinct. lol.

They are encroaching on the availability of some pregnancy-termination-inducing drugs (don't know what you properly call them in English basically the drugs are used for non-surgical abortion, when taken they induce miscarriage) in retail drugstores.

Otherwise, thankfully, most forms of Birth Control are quite easy to get in Russia - pills you can buy in any apothecary over the counter - no prescription needed. Prices for good ones (i.e. European or US made) are about 15-25 USD for one month set. There are no limits on sales of condoms anywhere. Sterilization OTOH is limited - you can get it only if you are over 35 or already have 3 children or have medical reasons.

I think we just refer to them as The morning after pill, but the Pro-life call them abortion pills.

It's good you have birth control so readily available. I certainly wish it was that way here.

Sterilization is kind of the same way for women here. Guys can do it any old time they like, but I had to fill out so much paperwork because i was under 30. I mean I could get it, I just had to fight to get it because my doctors were all saying I really didn't want it. Ugh.

On the first one:

"Hacker: Education in this country is a disaster. We're supposed to be preparing children for a working life. Three quarters of the time they're bored stiff!

Sir Humphrey: Well I should have thought that being bored stiff for three quarters of the time was an excellent preparation for working life."
