Let me put something out to you. A little under three months ago, my cousin's wife, who had post-natal depression, died by her own hand. My cousin went out to buy some milk and was only gone about ten minutes, and his wife attached a length of ligature to the shower rose and tied the other around her neck and fell forward. She was rushed to hospital and placed on life support, but pronounced brain dead. That is a tragedy. The only good to come out of it was that her organs were donated to ten people. She is dead, so her organs were no good to her.

I don't believe that organ donation should be mandatory.

I was circumcised at six days old, and my paternal grandfather said that I should be for health reasons. I was too little to consent, but I don't regret it.

The ONLY TIME when I support an involuntary vasectomy is for a rapist.

The Religious Right infuriates me with their preposterous claim that a woman who falls pregnant due to a rape is carrying "a gift from God." And I object on several grounds. An evangelist I had no time for is Pat Robinson, and I remember that his father, A. Willis Robinson, said that he was, "dumbfounded yet inspired that a man we tried to kill with an atomic bomb came to offer prayer to the same God." (Of Reverend Kiyoshi Tanimoto) And I thought, "Why would you be dumbfounded or inspired? Isn't Christianity SUPPOSED to be about forgiveness?!" And what did he think the Reverend Kiyoshi Tanimoto was supposed to do? Thump him? I also object to Tyler Hulbrecht and Rick Perry and their crap that it's "God's silver lining," or, "God's way of comforting women who've been raped." And I thought, "What sort of a vengeful God would expect a woman who has been RAPED to carry a child she didn't want for nine months and raise it for the next eighteen years?!" Some say, "Oh, but there's always adoption." To which I say, "But let's not forget that an adoptee may, after a while, want to meet their biological parents and this could reawaken old traumas.
