It's a pet peeve of mine. I'm a single mother and I've been BEGGING for a hysterectomy for almost 16 years, but no doctor will let me. And I know many, many low-income women who have tried to make the same (sensible) choice to permanently avoid unwanted pregnancy and have also been denied.<br /><br />It's about time the medical profession stopped treating women like children and let us make the best decision for our own bodies and our own families. I think a lot of poor women would take up the offer if it was freely available, even without financial inducements.delectable_detrimenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728180059261632033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500172920534958359.post-79897609037921131642012-03-07T15:42:35.214+08:002012-03-07T15:42:35.214+08:00Tad,

Bogans are not difficult to identify and while this blog points out many characteristics that bogans have you must meet the said bogan in person to truly label them as such. I also advocate a bogan sterilisation plan but a voluntary one. It would be along the lines of the baby bonus when an identified bogan female is paid 10 - 20 thousand dollars to be sterilised. This would in turn save hundreds of thousands of dollars from the child welfare and protection, juvenile justice and eventually welfare and adult justice systems and save ordinary folk from having to live with throwbacks to the dark ages. This must be be put in place as soon as possible to slow the increasing percentage of bogans living among us in society.<br /><br />RickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500172920534958359.post-3444010240780064242010-11-06T13:01:00.674+08:002010-11-06T13:01:00.674+08:00Hi, I'm new to your blog. I found this post in...Hi, I'm new to your blog. I found this post interesting, but I disagree on two major points - 1) never look for rational comment on an online forum, and 2) being a 'bogan' in WA now isn't anything at all to do with being poor or even wearing flannel and listening to hard rock. <br /><br />Here in Perth, people are fed up with obnoxious loud-mouthed louts with no respect for anyone including themselves. This goes on at every socio-economic level. It's the tarted up Soccer Mum in Claremont who speeds her Beamer through a car park and almost takes out a small child; it's the drunken FIFO on r&r who carves up a quiet beach on a jet ski too close to swimming families. We've had enough of disrespectful, drunk, self-involved, arrogant prats with not a shred of common decency among them. <br /><br />I was raised by a divorced Mother, in a blue collar town with a bad reputation full of flannel and bourbon. Many of the friends I still have in that town are just as fed up as the rest of us. It may not be exclusive to WA, but it seems that the boom years have given everyone from Twiggy to the blokes who drive the buses a sense of entitlement. I've never seen this state so self-important and self-obsessed. It's like the entire place turned into a million Ben Cousins. And I love Cuz, but damn is he an arrogant wanker. <br /><br />All I'm saying is I don't agree that it's about the working class rising above their station. That's what I did, and I haven't copped it. You know why? I don't endanger people's lives or get violent and dangerous when I'm out or disturb my neighbourhood with cranked doof music until 4am when I'm home. That's a bogan. And the moronic comments you read online were absolutely uncalled for, but there's quite a few people out there who could use a lesson in respect. <br /><br />Thanks for your writing. You have an interesting style and you are quite clearly not a bogan. <br /><br />Tad BentleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
