USA: 13 States has already triggered laws to restrict or ban abortions after yesterday’s ruling

“It’s not that I don’t trust Women to control their own bodies… I trust Women to control when they allow men to ejaculate inside of them – to control intake of semen” – Rep. Karianne Lisonbee

The trigger laws after the overturning is already in affect in 13 states in the United States of America, these are being set into action in Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. While the Vatican and the Holy See did celebrate the verdict. It just shows how discouraging and the demeaning this overturning of Roe Versus Wade is. This referral law is now done with and ended. Giving plenty of the states the options to make it illegal and criminalize the ones who helps with the practice. Therefore, the U.S. is becoming one place for freedoms and other with hefty restrictions.

We know that more states will trigger laws and changes, which will severely restrict, ban and up-right make it illegal to advocate, help or abide in the process of abortion. The states that has already triggered the laws are enacting laws, which give jail-time and possibly make it a criminal offence. Which can strike at a woman, if she crosses state borders and have a miscarriage when returning. Meaning, things that a women already don’t control can become threatening and invoke a criminal investigation. That just show how “big” the government is… the same government that cannot ban or invoke any sort of regulation of firearms, in a sort of reasonable fashion. Because, you cannot take away the constitutional rights to arms, but you can take away the freedom and liberty of a female adult to carry a child or not.

To limit reproductive health care is only tarnishing the rights of women. In a nation of no universal health care. In a nation of no paid maternity leave, decent child tax-credits or social security that could matter. Therefore, the expenses of paying for child-birth, doctors appointments and whatnot can bankrupt a family and especially an unwanted or an unplanned one. That’s why the impoverished will be hit even harder and they will have nowhere to go.

While that is happening people should expect a domino effect out of this. The other rights, which has been legal in recent time could easily be eradicated too. This being contraception, same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships, LGBT rights and so fourth. Heck, people should think that these people of the Supreme Court could find ways to end the legality of interracial marriage, which isn’t that old of judgement either. Therefore, there is plenty of referral laws, which can be swiftly overturned like Roe Versus Wade. This can easily just be the beginning and the these Supreme Court Justices, as we know one of them Clarence Thomas has commented about the possibilities to do so.

In the midst of that and the turmoil that is created. The inflicted harm and insecurity put on the women now. They should start to apply pressure and use this cause to have a say. Since the Congress never used the 5 decades to make it a federal law or codifying it. That’s why the Supreme Court could just take it away over night and letting the states themselves decide how to deem things properly.

It is just striking that the same Justices didn’t believe the States had the rights to limit the gun-control according to the Constitution, but the same Constitution can take away the reproductive of women. So, in practice the women can shoot a baby, but not take an abortion. That’s ironic and the renegade youths like Kyle Rittenhouse can kill protesters, but women cannot decide over their own bodies. However, it is easy to get guns and create a mass-murder, which we have seen often with “thoughts and prayers” from the representatives afterwards.

This is America in 2022… and it’s tragic. This is taking a big step back. USA should be better than this, but apparently it’s not. Peace.

Opinion: USA, the land of the unborn…

The United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Certainly isn’t becoming a more friendly place, but a more hostile one. It isn’t enough with the uncontrolled gun-violence, mass-shootings and gang-violence. The epic proportions of police brutality and corporate run-prison system. The United States of America isn’t the land of total freedom or liberty. No, it is so sanctioned and regulated that you should be cautious. Especially, if you blink twice or happens to be born with the wrong skin-colour.

Alas, birth, the womb and the women’s rights have now become the main subject. The reproductive rights and the prevention options of women in the USA will now be limited. It will possibly matter of which state you reside or the possible costs to do the needed treatment elsewhere. Certainly, plenty of Southern or Mid-Western states, which has a majority of Republican representatives are preparing legislations or state laws that abolish or limits the possibilities to near-none. Therefore, one part of society will be blocked out of life-saving treatment.

The same party and government, the same sort of judges and likes who has called mask-mandates for “fascism” and been so outrageous about COVID-19 regulations. However, the same people are now screaming of joy for policing women’s bodies. They are doing it to save the “unborn” and the ones who haven’t gotten life. These people call themselves “pro-life” but are they really?

These people are the sort of freedom loving people who would block the needs of any regulations to guns, state run programs and social security. They so want the state to be limited and will not grant any sort of tax-credit, stimulus package or sort of child-care programs that would matter. Instead they would rather destroy all that in combination of making the health care less accessible to millions of citizens. That’s the same people, which calls themselves “pro-life”.

They are only pro-breathing but after giving birth. The women and the families are mostly left alone to themselves. The ones who cannot afford or have access to treatment in other states. When the states takes away these freedoms. There will be pushback, but certainly create movements, which the same sort of ideals will be fought over again.

Now is the need for movements that acts and represents women like the Temperance Movement and the Anti-Salon League. The end of Roe Versus Wade will usher in a new era now. The Planned Parenthood, which we know and grown up with will be obsolete. If you though the Tea Party of the Trump’s MAGA was anything. Well, if history tells us anything. These sorts of things will spiral out in a manner, which the White House, Supreme Court or the Congress cannot handle. They just have to listen and obey. Because, this will backfire.

This will be brutal and the consequences will be enormous. Yes, the Republican’s seems like victors today, because SCOTUS validated their claim and overturned a former ruling. The Democrats never made it code or into law. Therefore, the rights of productive rights and women’s right is by default gutted by a conservative bench in the Supreme Court.

First and foremost, the ones who cannot or doesn’t have resources will be put into a quagmire. They either got to do it illegally in “speakeasies” or “underground clinics” to help them out or have organizations out of state to give them guidance and support to make it happen. That’s how despicable it is. Secondly, this is a bunch of men policing women’s bodies and months ago they where crying out loud over wearing masks in public. That’s how degenerate these people are. They should know better, but we cannot expect greatness out of corrupt and greedy men. These just want power and it shows. They want their mistresses to bare their children and they want baby-mamas across the board While calling themselves good family and Christian men. Alas, they couldn’t be further from the case. Most likely the same of sort of gentlemen wouldn’t accept or feel human, if a woman made a law policing their bodies. However, that is another case and it should be spelled out.

We are now seeing not only a divide, but a piece of history, which will ensure a political shift and a turn. That is most likely happening. The SCOTUS, White House and Congress will not understand that today. The people, the ones hurt and the ones banned from acting on their own judgement will turn against this. Some might be silent first, but after a while they will organize. There will be initiatives, groups and new sort of operations, which is out of bound of legislators. New sort of political will and rise to counter this. Because, so many people lost a constitutional right and an option, which has been there for 50 years.

This will not end here. Mark my words. This is a new chapter and a new beginning. The ones thinking publicity stunts and small pushover town-hall questionaries will be it. I hate to break it to you, but you have now unleashed a new sort of movement. Which the political elite or the ones representing the citizens haven’t seen in a life-time. That’s what the SCOTUS has done and this could have been avoided. However, now defiance and resistance is the only way out. That’s all because the Supreme Court judges overturned a ruling. Peace.

Fighters of Justice: UPF and M7 Hails to No One On their duty as the “Crime Preventers” in the General Election of 2016

You think that the issues between police and Ugandans are inflicted with a huge rise of crime. Since they have hired such numbers of Crime Preventers! If you don’t know its election season and it will continue until the General Elections in February to March 2016. The Inspectorate General of Police Kale Kayihura has spoken out again. Therefore has to show how arrogant and also how his rhetoric is so demanding while pushing the public and opposition figures at every move. While he is using laws to benefit and not policing the actual public or citizens, but controlling them with force. I might be called a foreign influence, still I shouldn’t be feared or putting him against for instances the public. It’s about check and balance. We all should be able to ask for transparency and accountability, something that is hard to see and being held accountable because the police have the right to charge with violence in case of security. It’s hard to see accountability from the Police and Government when they don’t shed the light on their own misbehaving and claiming everybody else is the troublemakers. We should all wonder what the use for all those Crime Preventers and so sudden the amount of people that are affiliated with the police, but not official police force. They will surely create animosity during the election and spread more fear, then the sectarianism and tribalism that supposed to be the issue that usually the President Museveni calls out. That I fear for all the other parties and independents running in this coming election. I hope I am not alone. Because the evidence and numbers of people is crazy! Period, just take a look!  

IGP Kale Kayihura on a press conference today:
“This is now foreign influences. We want to turn the population against the government. It is absolutely rubbish. It is not true. Absolutely not true. Absolutely not true! (Kale Kayihura shakes his head). Yes off course what I cannot deny is that there is something called National Security. Forget it! We target, in fact we should be faulty, we should have, we should have known these groups you talking about. Through protection, protection is constitutional, protection involves off course involving some bad characters like terrorism. Terrorism! We shouldn’t carry out to intelligence work to protect terrorist” (WBS TV, 26.10.2015) .

Uganda Police Force deal with North Korea:
“The panel discovered that the Ugandan government had contracted with North Korea to provide police force training. Ugandan government officials purported that they did not realize that UN sanctions prohibited this type of activity, according to a USUN official” (GAO, 2015).

There been released and having public rallies with President Museveni like yesterday in Lira. The same has happen in Kasese and Gulu. Therefore there been set into force lots of Community Crime preventers. That’s the once that IGP Kale Kayihura discussing on the Press conference today. The real issue is the manhood and level of upgrade towards this group of Crime Preventers into society.

In August President Museveni did this:
“President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has passed out 30,000 crime-preventers from the district of Ngtungamo who has completed a cadership and crime prevention course conducted by the Uganda police force at Kyamate secondary school grounds” (…)”Recently, Museveni presided over the passing out over 8,000 crime preventers at Nyakasharara grounds in Kiruhura districts” (TheInsider.co.ug , 2015).

On the 5th of October 2015 President Museveni presided over and passed out 50,000 Crime preventers in Mbale. The National Youth Crime Preventers:
“Mbale residents have pledged full support to the National Crime Preventers Forum (NCPF) on the pass-out of over 50,000 Crime preventers due to take place tomorrow.The Business community who are the biggest beneficiaries of a Crime free society which is a result of Police coordinating or Cooperating with the people (Community Policing) confirmed their attendance and Support to the cause”. That is what they self-claimed about the actions happening on the 5th of October in Mbale”.

Earlier the UPF commented like this:
“His Excellence the president of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who was the Guest of honor on Monday 12th October passed out 23,000 crime preventers at Nyakakinda grounds in Kasese district” (UPF, 2015).

Budget wise:
“Plans by the Uganda Police Force to recruit up to 7,000 officers ahead of the 2016 general elections may stall following the failure by the Ministry of Finance to provide Shs 8.3b required for the activity” (…)”He also said that in order to professionalise the Uganda Police Force, there is need to improve quality of personnel through continuous training in basic courses which include leadership, command and control, public order management, traffic control, investigation and crime management” (Uganda Parliament).

Why I do this now is to show the numbers of crime preventers that Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has now on his hands and also the how the NRM regime is arguing for the necessity of this kind of security agents “right” before the general election of 2016 in Uganda. What scares me is the unfolding of it and at the same time the old reports of the budgets for the Police. Especially with the way that IGP Kale Kayihura and his rhetoric towards everybody else, like he has attacked the opposition and the media. Together with amount of extra personnel should be looked up and followed up by the donors and international society to address the matter.

Nobody has address the Crime Preventers and their role up to the 2016 General Election. YKM is surely starting to be afraid of his own people when he has to get that amount of people together with the army, police and special police squads to target individuals of fear. The fear should also be with the special training of police from the North Korean Police forces and training of parts of the Ugandan Police Force. Together with the Crime Preventers in this certain levels that is surreal. This is reality and the fear that IGP Kale Kayihura and President Museveni are staggering. Also the rhetoric that been used by them both is also more onto “them” and “us”. The citizens and the National Security issue. It doesn’t seem like the population isn’t what needs National Security, but the NRM-Regime. The Police has been inconsiderate when it comes to people who is not in the Yoweri Kaguta Museveni wing of the NRM, and their loyal cronies. Then the Police even shot and spray tear-spray over them. As they have done to the opposition as well for a long time, ever since they has followed them and policed them since the 2005, Uganda Police Force and Crime Preventers will surely make this election messy.

And without them IGP Kale Kayihura, his DPCs and Special Forces like the Flying Squad can easily do damage to any Election rally that is supposable “illegal” by the Public Order Management Act. That will surely happen, also the coming actions of Police against DP, UPC and FDC rallies will happen in due time. Secondly also the leaders of these parties will be handled in a fashion called Preventive Arrest and house arrests. We will also see that they also without any court judgement taken to custody by law enforcement before them even send their kids to school. This will happen because they are affiliated with the wrong political party. Peace.
