Dear Reader:
Preface.
Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.
Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:
**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.

Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.
Fear not, Dear Reader. I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth. Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.

Here follows is the original post.

Ending abortion is not the sole point of these legislatures. Only one step in many to satisfy their ideology.
Reversing Roe v Wade is only one aspect by playing the statistical mathematical odds. They will win.
Their expressly stated goal in this endeavour is to flood the federal court system with potential lawsuits. Many will make it to the Supreme Court. All they need is one to over-turn Roe v Wade.
‘The Alabama bill is a powerful statement of Deeply-held Religious-based Beliefs. Abortion is a felony punishable by 99 years in prison. There is no exception. The goal is to go to the Supreme Court to overthrow Roe v Wade. Many many states are passing these bills going after Roe versus Wade. You want to get something that will win.’
– Pat Robertson, R (his CBN ‘700 Club’ TV show, 16 May 2019)
These are Patriarchal Misogynistic male-controlled governments whose effort is the restriction of sex education and the eventual criminalisation of all Birth Control, as was the condition a century ago when courts sentenced women to prison for teaching Birth Control and providing Birth Control services and products to women.
Roe v Wade is about securing one’s body autonomy and one’s right to medical privacy. No person, Corporation, or Con-servative Big Guh’mint has any business intruding into a patient’s medical intimacy.
I remember the era before Roe v Wade. Desperate pregnant women sought lethal means to end their pregnancy.
Fact is:
– These laws eliminate abortion performed in a safe, medical setting.
– Women will die because of forced pregnancy and childbirth.
Abortion itself will continue; pregnant women will seek the proverbial ‘back ally abortion’ and women will die during pregnancy or during childbirth.
Their twisted Right-wing Christian Con-servative Evangelical Fundamentalism sees dead women as satisfactory to their cause. That is the point of Patriarchy and Misogyny.

Abstract
The mortality and morbidity of women who terminated their pregnancy before the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v Wade are compared with post-Roe v Wade mortality and morbidity. Mortality data before 1973 are from the National Center for Health Statistics; data from 1973 through 1985 are from the Centers for Disease Control and The Alan Guttmacher Institute. Trends in serious abortion-related complications between 1970 and 1990 are based on data from the Joint Program for the Study of Abortion and from the National Abortion Federation. Deaths from illegally induced abortion declined between 1940 and 1972 in part because of the introduction of antibiotics to manage sepsis and the widespread use of effective contraceptives. Deaths from legal abortion declined fivefold between 1973 and 1985 (from 3.3 deaths to 0.4 death per 100,000 procedures), reflecting increased physician education and skills, improvements in medical technology, and, notably, the earlier termination of pregnancy. The risk of death from legal abortion is higher among minority women and women over the age of 35 years, and increases with gestational age. Legal-abortion mortality between 1979 and 1985 was 0.6 death per 100,000 procedures, more than 10 times lower than the 9.1 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births between 1979 and 1986. Serious complications from legal abortion are rare. Most women who have a single abortion with vacuum aspiration experience few if any subsequent problems getting pregnant or having healthy children. Less is known about the effects of multiple abortions on future fecundity. Adverse emotional reactions to abortion are rare; most women experience relief and reduced depression and distress.
‘In 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade, the rate of maternal mortality in the United States was 34 deaths for every 100,000 births. In 1973, after legalization of abortion, the rate declined by 50%. Therefore, to the list of strategies to reduce maternal mortality, I would add: secure access to safe and legal abortion, when needed.’
‘According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York, 1 of every 550 women who underwent illegal abortion died of complications.’

COMMENTARY
Legalized abortion has reduced maternal mortality
OBG Manag. 2008 January;20(1):20

“Troubling news: Maternal mortality is on the rise,” by Robert L. Barbieri, MD (October Editorial)
In 1972, the year before Roe v. Wade, the rate of maternal mortality in the United States was 34 deaths for every 100,000 births. In 1973, after legalization of abortion, the rate declined by 50%. Therefore, to the list of strategies to reduce maternal mortality, I would add: secure access to safe and legal abortion, when needed.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York, 1 of every 550 women who underwent illegal abortion died of complications. I think this point will be of interest to your readers.
E. Hakim-Elahi, MD
Elmhurst, NY
Dr. Barbieri responds: Safe abortion is important
I appreciate Dr. Hakim-Elahi’s important reminder that illegal abortions are associated with a high rate of maternal death. Dr. Hakim-Elahi has made major contributions to women’s health by leading efforts to make pregnancy termination as safe as possible. I deeply appreciate all his contributions to our field.
‘As a result of the restrictive reproductive health policies enforced under the 25-year Ceausescu dictatorship, Romania ended the 1980s with the highest recorded maternal mortality of any country in Europe–159 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1989. An estimated 87 percent of these maternal deaths were caused by illegal and unsafe abortion.’

Copied post:
Abortions are sad. There is no doubt. I don’t know anyone who is “pro-abortion”. I am thankful that I wasn’t faced with such a choice in my life. But I know MANY good and kind and loving girls and women who were faced with this choice. Whether it was because of a threat to life for the mother, an unviable fetus, a teen with nowhere to turn and no one to turn to, these girls and women made a hard and sad choice.
But for the 25 white male senators of Alabama (yes, all white, all men…no women or people of color…see picture) to vote that a 13 year old rape victim should be forced to give birth when she is a child herself? That is unconscionable. Imagine the gall it took for these men to cast this vote when they have never faced this predicament themselves. They are clueless.
Which leads me to ask, where is the impregnating male’s burden in all of this? Oh, just go live your life, footloose and fancy free, your freedom to do so unhampered by the white men who just voted for this female-crippling Alabama law? What if we start sentencing these men as well to this same fate? Hmmmm….maybe we start garnishing his wages for child support immediately upon conception? Maybe we put an ankle monitor on him and ensure that he is catering to the pregnant mother any time he is not working to support his future child? Maybe, if the Mother would rather not have him around, he is then expected to work double hours to provide for his coming child or he goes to jail? Maybe we sterilize him so that he can’t create another unwanted pregnancy again? No, you say, that will never happen. Never. Why? Because it’s crazy. Just about as crazy as telling a woman or young girl that she no longer has a say about what happens inside of her body. So, if we’re going to go crazy, let’s go crazy times two. Fair is fair.
Do not hold the erroneous belief that laws such as these will stop abortions. They never have and never will. Laws such as these turn legal, safe abortions into botched back alley abortions by untrained people, resulting in the deaths of many girls and women.
Women of Alabama or any state considering such a ban: you should be scared. You should be terribly scared. This is step one of stripping you of your rights. This is the starting point of the true life version of Handmaid’s Tale’s GIlead. You should be incredibly concerned for your daughters and you should be furious, fighting this every step of the way. And men, if you love the women in your life, you should be furious as well.

Skeletal Dropkick
15 May 2019
I have been trying to think of ways to phrase this post. The subject is so big and complex and the ramifications of these laws is so immense, I really cannot cover it here on Insta, so I am distilling it to a few important points.
I am an RN in Labor Delivery/PostPartum. I work with patients to ensure their safety, autonomy and informed consent around pregnancy and delivery and termination.
1. The laws being passed these last 2 years (especially last 2 weeks) WILL KILL women. Women will die, there is no way around that. They are written specifically so that women will die, black women disproportionally to all other race categories. Currently black women die 3-4x more often than white women in childbirth and the immediate post partum period. This is racist and misogynistic legislation.
2. The laws passed WILL ENSURE PENURY for women. They will keep women pregnant and mothers, forced out of the workforce and out of education. They will strengthen the chains of poverty already established in the USA.
3. The laws passed enshrine the power of (mostly white) men over the bodies of women. Men are in the majority in passing these laws. Men who hold no responsibility in childbearing and often not in childrearing.
4. These laws will decide that women alone are incapable of health care decisions. That women do not deserve to make their own choices. No other law governs a man’s body the way these laws govern a woman’s body.
5. This will have a crippling effect on progress for the entire country. When you relegate 51% of your population to enforced brith, you lose overall. Think about that. 50.8% of US citizens are female, we are the fucking MAJORITY Let’s act like it.
If you live in the USA, please, I am seriously BEGGING, do not vote these men into power any longer. This is detrimental to progress and basic humanity. This WILL effect you.

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS
The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.
“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.
Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.
“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.
“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”
“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.
CRUCIAL QUOTE
“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News.
CHIEF CRITIC
“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
