Ah, yet another technological fix for flawed processes. It’s easier to X-ray food instead of making sure the rocks and bones never get it the first place. X-ray spinach for E coli instead of making sure the port-o-potties are out of the fields and washing stations have soap for the field workers.

Mississippi Law - Fertilized egg a person
Linda Layne has pointed out in her book Pregnancy Lost that 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Natural miscarriage. So, should women be criminalized if a pregnancy does not come full term? The law carried out implies that this would be murder if a fertilized egg is a person.

Girls and HPV vaccine
So, I’ve been thinking about the Perry/Bachman positions on vaccination. On one hand, you have the idea of public health (vaccination) for the good of society, and the other, infringement of government by dictating vaccinations. In some ways both positions have their merits, and are worth more public discussion. However, the vehicle used to transmit these ideas are voiceless girls’ bodies. Girls have no say in the whole thing. And the points gain traction because they ride on fears of girls’ burgeoning sexuality, the need to intervene while they are still virgins, and good old paternalism to shelter and protect girls.
