In other words, "We can't lie about racist attacks anymore so we need you to get rid of cameras so we can go back to lying and running campaigns on it. Kindly stop destroying our narrative".

Sensitive Content Warning:

Many survivors of sexual abuse suffer in silence for years, wrestling alone with the agony of their memories and pain. We pray that the Church may always be a place where they can come to share their stories, be received in love and compassion, and be supported on the path to healing.  We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.

The experience of sexual abuse may leave scars no less profound than the scars of a scourging, though they often remain unseen. We must strive to make our parish communities places where survivors can feel safe to share their burdens and to find healing and peace.  We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.

Those who have survived sexual abuse may feel isolated from the community, set apart and unwelcome. Jesus must have felt the same as the soldiers mocked and tortured him. As members of Christ’s Body, the Church, we are called to see Christ in our brothers and sisters in need and offer them our aid, comfort, and support.  We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.

Simon helped Jesus carry his cross, helping him bear the weight and the burden. So must we help survivors of sexual abuse bear the weight and burden of their experiences, helping them to find healing God who is light and life.  We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.

We commend into God’s hands all those who are at risk for sexual abuse, those who are doing the hard work of healing, and those who are not yet ready to begin the healing process.  Through our prayers, efforts, and sacrifices, may they come to know the peace and wholeness that only God can bring.  We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.

At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching we dare to say,

Yeah, it's sick.

My husband's family still lowkey mourn the child they lost in a miscarriage. It would be so much easier to tell themselves that it wasn't a real child, just a clump of cells, doesn't matter at all, but they don't. They live with that loss because the alternative is worse. It's a soul killing decision to deny the life of the unborn. And it's not surprising that people who have had multiple abortions do soulless shit like this.

I can't even imagine finding out that my mother had multiple abortions before giving birth to me. Every time I saw her I would be reminded of my murdered siblings and know that I could have been so easily and casually killed right along with them if she'd changed her mind about having me. And worse, she wouldn't have given me a second thought. Every hug and every lesson and word of encouragement and love could have been thrown away as easily as people toss away a used tissue.

Thank God my mother wasn't like that. Thank God she fought against the doctors who tried to convince her to abort me because some placenta test showed a possibility that I might be born with a disability.

(2) But I know that abortion must have deeply affected my mom and turned her pro-life because after having my older brother and I, six years after me my sister came along, and it was only in the later years that I found out she was an accident baby where the condom broke. But my mom still chose to keep her because of her choice she regretted with her real first child.

Why can't England conquer the world like they used to? At least when they had ships and armies they had a presence. Now they just have terrible government policies that don't work.

“… and we need to actively discourage people from owning and driving cars and it should be illegal actually” — FUCK NO.

I don’t know why pro-public transit people have to be so obnoxious about this and ostracize people who would otherwise support their cause. I also find it amusing that they’re more than willing to be massive dicks to me for not hating on cars, until I mention I’m disabled and immune compromised and a lot of times not being able to go DIRECTLY from point A to point B (and limit my exposure to other people’s germs) will stop me from being able to do things and go places. At which point they usually stop engaging with me because I don’t fit the stereotype of disabled and unable to drive.
