IN the NEWS Triple Pack!
It seems that French law reserves clinic-based artificial insemination for "married couples or heterosexual couples who have been living together for longer than two years". As such, many of those who aren't from these groups have traveled to Belgium for consultations.
Some of them might have to cross Belgium off their "welcome" list, too.
Anne Delbaere is the high command of the Erasmus fertility clinic, and noted that "72 percent of [artificial insemination] patients came from France, with a majority of them being homosexual". (Population differences between France and Belgium probably factor into that high visitor percentage; check Google for further details.) Ms. Delbaere has some changes planned. "We haven't got enough sperm samples in stock to meet all the demand," she said. "We don't want to close access to French female couples, but we can't welcome them at the expense of heterosexual couples," said Delbaere.
I imagine there are other places that don't refuse clients explicitly because they're lesbians. However, this news could warn of a problem if the Erasmus client pool is representative of those of other Belgian clinics...Once again, the caustic wit of FARK gets it right.
Remains of missing ISU student found in rural Mississippi chicken house. Haven't heard about it every hour from mainstream media? Guess what race she was
The discussion page on that one is a predictable debate among those who see a huge disparity and those who think "liberals" are just whining again. When user "KyngNothing" mentions the 9 relevant Google News pages, he is hoist with his own petard by user "philwz". I'll ignore the nine pages of results for her name on google news...
Interesting you should say this. I did a google search on her name (not news, just search) and got 162 pages. But I did a google search on Natalee Hollaway and got 59,000 pages :(

User "bubbaprog" sees the grim situation: Of course Google News is going to have nine pages of results, it's the same AP story about it that gets automatically pushed to every news source's web site everytime it moves on the wire. If you want to know how much coverage she was *really* getting, do an advanced search for news from before today and without the words "associated press."
It's pretty sad. What's also sad is all of you complaining about the "liberalism" around here. Clearly you're not very good at paying attention.
Frankly, I have news television on pretty much every day, read both right- and left- wing news web sites, and have MAYBE heard of this girl ONCE. If you can't tell by now that the missing white girls get more attention than missing girls of other ethnicities, you are the most oblivious person ever.
For at least a few seconds, journalist Yuri Kageyama was moving against her will; the last 3 sentences of her article are what persuaded me to post this here. Ms. Kageyama explains how she felt in this report. A special headset was placed on my cranium by my hosts during a recent demonstration at an NTT research center. It sent a very low voltage electric current from the back of my ears through my head[,] either from left to right or right to left, depending on which way the joystick on a remote-control was moved.
I found the experience unnerving and exhausting: I sought to step straight ahead but kept careening from side to side. Those alternating currents literally threw me off.
Changes in her sense of balance are what compelled her to respond to the electric current. (Despite this unnerving report, I'd like to wear one of those headsets for a short while!) An invention this unusual immediately inspires hunts for a "killer app", and suggestions for its use were out in force. Some are military, others are recreational. The author has some advice for interested others. If you're determined to fight the suggestive orders from the electric currents by clinging to a fence or just lying on your back, you simply won't move.
But from my experience, if the currents persist, you'd probably be persuaded to follow their orders. And I didn't like that sensation. At all.
If you require more evidence of why this is already a feminist issue (and are quite trigger-resistant), read some of this.
