You know just how long 2018 has been? You know how long?
Did you even remember there was an Olympic games this year? Because I didnāt. I thought oh, last year. No. There was a winter Olympics in Korea and I forgot about it.

An aboriginal woman in Saskatoon alleges she experienced forced sterilization at a local hospital. And she's not alone. Today, we hear those stories and how they are part of a too-common pattern in our country's history.
āIām laying there, scared enough, not wanting this done, telling her I didnāt want it done. All of a sudden I smell something burning. If I couldāve moved my legs I probably wouldāve kicked her.ā- Brenda Pelletier on being sterilized against her will
Brenda Pelletier checked in to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon five years ago to give birth to her baby girl. She left, with her tubes tied. The tubal ligation procedure happened, she says, after she was pressured into it by hospital staff, while she was in a vulnerable state.
And as a MĆ©tis woman, Brenda Pelletierās experience appears not to be an isolated case.
At least three other aboriginal women have come forward to say that they too were pressured to be sterilized at the Saskatoon hospital in recent years.

Ok but this is true!!! I was 19 years old when i went into the hospital to give birth to my first child and while i was laying in bed reading and signing consent forms i came across one that woukd give them.permission to tie my tubes. The nurse kept telling me i didnt have to read them all that they were all about my stay in the hospital and intake forms and when i began to read that particular form the nurse came to me laughed nervously and said well we put that in there just in case you wanted to get your rubes tied. I then asked if they always gave them to woman giving birth she said no, the doctor had asked for thematic be put in there ājust in caseā I didnt want any future children. The nurse then went on to ask me about my future and if i was really sure i wanted to have more children or not. Until my mom came intimate room to check up on me and the nurse then took all the papers from me and left. For the rest of my delivery the nurses refused to give me medication for the pain or an epidural saying it was too early for that and it might stop my labour. I honestly think they withheld pain medication and the epidural to show me how hard child birth can be. Afterwards when they were releasing me the nurse asked me again if i was sure i didnt want to get ny tubes tied. Which i said no to. She then went on and explained thaf if i did i woukd just have to make an appointment with my doctor and i would be in and out in no time at all. That is my experience with the Canadian healthcare system and being a native woman. It is wrong that anyone would try and force something like that on a 19 year old. Please share. Let it be known what is happening to native woman. We have rights just like any other woman and shouldnāt be pushed into suxh decision at such a young age.
Hey white folks with uteruses who do not want or should not have kids,Ā
you know how youāre outraged about how hard it is to get a Doctor to agree to sterilize you even to save your life?Ā
Guess what else they do? Double your outrage.
And those two issues are not unrelated. White supremacy pushes an idea of who should be having kids and who shouldnt. White, abled women are prioritized especially ones who arent poor, they should have many kids, to further white supremacy, while those deemed āundesireableā (people who arent white, people who are disabled, people who are poor and uneducated and especially people who are more than one of those things) should be kept from having children for the good of society.
So when doctors refuse to sterilize white, educated women who want it, they are functioning within the same thought process as when doctors sterilize non-white women against their will.
Since this article came out in 2016, a class action lawsuit has been filed by two of the victims.

The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) has reported on the results of the internal review of the Royal University Hospital.

APTN has also done an investigation focusing on a few of the stories of the women who were sterilised against their will.

I miss this show.
the way he claps when he says HOT DAMN is what makes it.
Brooklyn Nine Nine is a gift and Iām SO MAD for not watching sooner.
BTW, season 4 premieres September 20.
the best thing about this is still the fact that theĀ āhot damnā was improvised and thats why they cut away so fast because everyone breaks
Might be my favorite joke of the series

hoooOw dare you detective diaz i am your supIORIOR OFFICER! (BONE!!!!)whathappensinmybedroomdetectiveis none of your business (!boOoOoNE?!) dont, ever, speak to me like that again.
Iāve already reblogged this scene but the last comment is a masterclass in punctuation and vocal emphasis.
actually, iām not just gonna leave that in the tags: Catholics used the Holocaust as an opportunity to steal and convert Jewish children. Catholic authorities refused to return the Jewish children theyĀ āsavedā to their families after the Holocaust ended. we have no idea how many children we lost.Ā
they used our genocide to steal our babies.
literal cultural and religious genocide
āb-but we love israel? Why wonāt Jews be our friends?ā
I seem to recall a story about the rosh yeshiva of Ponevezh (Rā Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman) who went looking for these children after the war. When Catholic monasteries and abbies tried to refuse him entry, so the story goes, he would ask, I just want to say one sentence to whatever crowd of children you have here. And the authorities in each place would look at this tiny, shuffling, bearded rav and let him in.
So the rosh yeshiva would go to the classroom or the cafeteria or whatever, wherever the children were, and he would put his hand over his eyes and say the six words of the Shema. āSHEMA,ā He would start, slowly enough, āADO-NAI ELO-HEINU,ā and he would hear little voices joining in, āADO-NAI ECHAD!ā
And sure enough, when he quickly uncovered his eyes he would see little kids blinking up at him, wondering where he came from. The Shema is the first prayer a Jewish child learns, and it is the last prayer one says before death. Time among Christians would not have taken it from all the Jewish children.
At every place, the story goes, Rav Kahaneman walked away with Jewish orphans, children that the Catholic authorities had denied were Jews.
And everyone forgets that Rafael Lemkinās original definition of genocide did not require death of the individual; it allowed for the death of the culture.
Hereās another article on it, which is less open towards the idea that thereās somehow aĀ āgrey areaā involved in the stealing of Jewish children.
