Violence Against Women

Via silverblue and hnpcc: Some US health insurances companies count domestic violence as a pre-existing condition.

And in another kind of violence... Queensland women cannot currently obtain abortions while a question mark hangs over the legality in the state.

Not just domestic violence: pregnancy, too.

I'm glad you saw my post. I was afraid the heading was too likely to repel those who'd find it most interesting.

The Qld case is bizarre. I do think they should have been charged over the importation of medications, but I really don't think the charges should have been procuring an abortion.

Hopefully this will actually force some legal change in the state (not least because that would irritate Danny Nalliah and Catch the Fire no end. No, I'm not still bitter about the Black Saturday comments, not at all.)
