In the Netherlands, abortion is freely available on demand. Yet the Netherlands boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, about 6 abortions per 1000 women per year, and the complication and death rates for abortion are miniscule. How do they do it? First of all, contraception is widely available and free — it’s covered by the national health insurance plan. Holland also carries out extensive public education on contraception, family planning, and sexuality. An ethic of personal responsibility for one’s sexual activity is strongly promoted. Of course, some people say that teaching kids about sex and contraception will only encourage them to have lots of sex. But Dutch teenagers tend to have less frequent sex, starting at an older age, than American teenagers, and the Dutch teenage pregnancy rate is 9 times lower than in the U.S.
I endorse evidence-based medicine, and evidence-based activism.
Never forget the gang-rape of 14-year old Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi on March 12, 2006 in Iraq by five US Army soldiers who then shot her in the head and set her body on fire. Never forget that they first murdered her mother Fakhriyah Taha Muhsin, father Qasim Hamza Raheem, and younger sister Hadeel Qasim Hamza.
Of the perpetrators, Steven Green said, “I didn’t think of Iraqis as humans.” James Barker took a plea deal and immediately after, smoked a cigarette and grinned as reporters passed by.
May Abeer and her family rest in peace while the monsters who did this and allowed it to happen suffer for eternity.
Never forget what western imperialism does to countries it claims to help by sending rapists, pedophiles, and murderers to the doorsteps of innocent people [x].
Also, AAA does free Tipsy Tows, so if you’re not good to drive, they’ll get you and your car home. You don’t have to be a member, and they’re offering the service from 6pm New Year’s Eve to 6am New Year’s Day. Call ahead and make sure they offer the service in your area, but I know they offer it in mine.

Why old people so mad.
It’s funny because millennials can pretty much multitask like it’s second nature simply because it’s necessary to keep up with society, while baby boomers whine about reading subtitles and can’t seem to program anything more complicated than a VCR.
But sure, ok, the kids are lazy and have entitlement complexes
Older Generations: -Make comics about kids not knowing how books work-
Millenials: -Read more books than anyone else-
Older Generations: …no we changed our minds reading a lot is lazy and entitled now
