A Belated Memorial Day Card From Reilly

#FluffyFriday, #FurryFriday, #FlashbackFriday, and #SentimentalSaturday: Five Years Since...

#WoofWednesday: Even When Reilly Is Sleepy...

She is jealous!

Now You Tell Me...

I gave you my own take.

Which of the following needs to come first: 1) Re-outlawing of #abortion? 2) Overturning "Coker" (1977), which would automatically overturn "Kennedy v. Louisiana" (2008)? 3) #Reforming of the #foster and #adoption system? 👶🏽🤰🏽👩‍👦👩‍👧👪👨‍👩‍👧⚖️👩🏽‍⚖️👨🏽‍⚖️🗳️❓🇺🇸📜📰📺💻

PS I'll RT this poll and mention Congress members in the RT in order for them to see this poll, too.

Commentary: Punish The Babies & Reward The Rapists. In Other Words...

Continue to follow a highly-dangerous precedent as well as set more-dangerous precedents.

It's not a "war" to not punish the baby for what the father (and in cases such as those of Mary Kay LeTourneau, mother) did. It is a "war", however, to not call for the overturn of "Coker" (1977) and "Kennedy v. Louisiana" (2008), both of which ended the death penalty for rapists. It's also a "war" to not call for the reform of the foster and adoption systems. 

Iranian court rules 11-year-old girl who was raped must carry baby to delivery and—Wait wait sorry.

CORRECTION: In 2019 America, Ohio Republicans are forcing an 11-year-old girl who was raped to carry to delivery  😳

GOP war on women & girls must end nowhttps://t.co/KuKRUMQIdr

If anyone is calling for a "war on women & girls", it is those whom punish baby girls (and boys) for what their fathers (and mothers) did (and Mary Kay LeTourneau was a child rapist, as her now-soon-to-be-ex husband, Vili Fualaau, was 12 when she first became pregnant by him). It is also those whom affirm the "Coker" (1977) and "Kennedy" (2008) rulings as well as those whom refuse to reform the foster and adoption systems (in which children routinely experience abuse, including sexual abuse).

Thus (and as common sense can tell one, anyway), many whom call pro-life efforts "war"  are either enablers of rapists and other abusers—whether they mean to or don't mean to be so—or even rapists and/or other kinds of abusers themselves. In this case, I assume that Counselor Rashid is an unintentional enabler of rapists, since he at least wants for rape victims (including surviving rape victims) what the rapists don't want:

1. Recovery (though does a rape victim ever really recover from rape; and does she or she ever really survive, even if she or he isn't physically murdered)
2. Justice (and rape is all but physical murder)
3. Hopeful futures

Those who are deliberate enablers of rapists and who are even rapists themselves, of course, call for the rape victims (including the second-generation rape victims, the forcibly-conceived children) to be punished by having the rapists get off scot free and the babies punished in their fathers' (and mothers') places, all while the raped mothers (and fathers) are also punished by having to live a life of Hell on Earth (Again, does a rape victim ever really survive and recover from rape?).

Think, then, unless you call those whom are trying to punish the rapists instead of their victims (including the second-generation victims whom are the rape-conceived children) "war" mongers, then. Think as well unless you end up unintentionally enabling rapists (As the saying goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions;" and enabling rapists by punishing their victims is its own kind of Hell on Earth). Think even more unless you leave rape-conceived and other children in the foster and adoption systems in the shadows of those unreformed systems.

Thus, redirect your thinking to fighting against rape culture as well as against foster-and-adoption system brokenness—is, that for justice for rape victims and abused children within the foster and adoption systems.

#WoofWednesday: More Of Reilly's Antics, Including Barking Inappropriately!

Incidentally, Reilly may have just barked in her sleep during her evening nap, unless "Momma" was hearing things. Anyway:

1. Speaking of barking, though, both Reilly and Camille really (so to speak) took up quite a bit of thinking room with their loud barks, and Reilly especially barked up a lot of thinking room!
2. As if barking inappropriately throughout the day wasn't and wouldn't be enough, running outside as "Mom-Mom" was coming back from having taken Camille to "go potty" apparently made a fine addition to the list of Reilly's Woof Wednesday antics! To be fair, though, Reilly did at least come back inside for a treat.
3. Reilly found another treat when "Mom-Mom" went back outside to garden, meanwhile, and this treat happened to be a treat which was actually a "nasty" which "Momma" had to lock the back door to get: a shredded cotton pad that she doesn't quite know how Reilly came by in the first place. Not wanting to be hit by the back door in case "Mom-Mom" decided to come in while "Momma" had to lay on the floor to get the pieces (since standing up and bending down to get them would've been quite unfeasible, especially if the door would've hit her while she was on her feet), "Momma" had to lock the back door briefly and risk locking "Mom-Mom" out of the house—and needlessly to say, she was not happy about it, and she even told Reilly (in terms in which Reilly could understand) that her IBS flares up when she stresses her out—and her acquisition of the cotton pad and shredding of it definitely caused her to have an IBS flareup.

There were other antics as well, though these three antics exemplify just how badly Reilly can behave! 

The Great Debate Continues, And #TuesdayTroubles Such As Reilly's Attempts To Jump Down When She's Supposed To Wait!

Incidentalmente, Camila es francesa—no puede evitarlo 😉

Hint: "Diecisiete" mean "Seventeen[th]".

"And Woof You Also"....Wait; What?

#ThursdayThoughts: How Two Puppies Exemplify "Before and After"

Reilly did not cooperate for many "Before" shots, by the way.
