Nope.

Whoever she is.

... Whoever she is.

She's apparently a celeb for being the daughter of a "reality" show star, not for any achievements or talents of her own.

I've never watched her in anything. I just stumbled on the article.

[O Really]

Make-up does what it does - to enhance good features and disguise not-so-good, and she starts out with an already beautiful face. But the make-up does add a few years and some sophistication to her look. If you calculate the time, it looks like she's about 19 in the right one and about 17 in the left one. So there's that. I'm not too fond of lip plumpers, though. Get it the least bit wrong and and you go from beauty to the beast.

Barbie introduces Eleanor Roosevelt doll for Women's History Month



... "A champion of policies around civil and economic rights, her passionate advocacy was unwavering, even when faced with resistance. Earning the title 'First Lady of the World' for her hard work and dedication to humanitarian efforts, Eleanor Roosevelt's perseverance redefined the role of women in politics and public life," Mattel said....

Barbie dolls based on Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Jean King, Florence Nightingale, Sally Ride, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earheart, Katherine Johnson and Frida Kahlo were previously released as part of the Inspiring Women line.

Nice! Somehow I don't think that Phyllis Schlafly, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene or Marsha Marsha Marsha Blackburn will ever make the cut. Rachel Levine might, though.

Catholic and Evangelical misogyny gone wild:

El Salvador's abortion ban jails women for miscarriages and stillbirths – now one woman's family seeks international justice

El Salvador outlaws abortion completely, even in circumstances of rape or incest, with penalties ranging from two to 50 years. The abortion ban is so broadly enforced that even women who suffer miscarriages and stillbirths can be prosecuted for murder.

Now an international court will decide for the first time whether these laws violate the human rights of Salvadoran women.

On March 10 and 11, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights – a regional tribunal of the Organization of American States created to adjudicate alleged human rights violations in member countries – heard arguments in Manuela and Family v. El Salvador, regarding a 33-year-old mother of two who suffered a stillbirth following a fall at her home in rural El Salvador in 2008.

Manuela – whose real name is not used to protect her family’s identity – was rushed to the hospital after losing consciousness and hemorrhaging.

Though she said she was unaware of her pregnancy, hospital personnel accused Manuela of intentionally inducing an abortion and called the police. She was handcuffed to her hospital bed, interrogated by both physicians and police, and charged with aggravated homicide. In 2008, Manuela was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Later that year, lawyers for her family started the legal process that eventually ended up in the courtroom this month. The claim: that criminal prosecution of a stillbirth is a human rights violation.

Dangerous laws

El Salvador is one of three countries in Central America and 24 worldwide with a total abortion ban. Obtaining an abortion is a crime, and obstetric emergencies resulting in miscarriage or stillbirth are regularly charged as aggravated homicide.

Medical professionals involved in performing an abortion may face six to 12 years in prison and can be barred from practicing medicine. Family members who “support a woman” in getting an abortion can be punished with two to five years’ imprisonment.

Research from across Latin America and the world shows that abortion bans do not stop women from terminating unwanted or life-threatening pregnancies. Rather, they cause women to seek illegal, possibly dangerous abortions, and can lead hospitals to deny patients lifesaving reproductive health care.

Between 2000 and 2017, Latin American countries that prohibit abortion under all circumstances recorded a combined average of 151 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with about 68 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births across other countries....

How it goes when a teenager is raped by a Repug pol:

Idaho legislative intern reports rape, is ID’d by lawmaker

The harassment began soon after a report by a 19-year-old intern, who alleged an Idaho lawmaker raped her, became public.

One state representative sought a copy of the police report and made inquiries into how the young woman herself could be referred for criminal charges for reporting the alleged rape.

Another shared links to a far-right blog post that included the intern’s name, photo and details about her life with thousands of people in a newsletter and on social media.

And members of an anti-government group tried to follow and harass the young woman after she was called to testify in a legislative ethics hearing....

Sounds like a case of "it was good until it went bad."

[O Really]

I don't know how these clowns get elected - even in Idaho. In the past few months, they've tried to make it a felony to counsel women about abortions, teach any of the critical race program or other diversity-oriented topics, and several other ridiculous (and unconstitutional) proposals that I don't remember.

North Carolina's 20-week abortion ban is unconstitutional, federal court affirms

... Why it matters: The unanimous ruling comes as the U.S. Supreme Court takes on Mississippi's restrictive ban and the constitutionality of "pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions."

... Citing "a wave of similar state action across the country" restricting abortion, Judge Diana Motz wrote in the opinion that "we cannot reasonably assume that the abortion ban that North Carolina keeps on its books is 'largely symbolic.'"

"As a nation we remain deeply embroiled in debate over the legal status of abortion. While this conversation rages around us, this court cannot say that the threat of prosecution to abortion providers who violate the law is not credible."

Motz, a Clinton nominee, was joined by Judges Albert Diaz and Julius Richardson, who were nominated by Obama and Trump, respectively....

Deniz Saypinar: Turkish Bodybuilder Says American Airlines Stopped Her from Flying Because She Was Skimpily Dressed
Saypinar explained that she moved to the United States to "be free as a woman" but found it "ridiculous" to be stopped from boarding a plane for what she was wearing.



I am 100% sure that they would have stopped me from wearing that onto a plane , and I'm okay with that.

Methinks they wouldn't let Deniz on not because of what she was wearing, but because of what she wasn't wearing.
