“She’s only 10 years old” ?
In Brazil and the United States, the fate of two 10-year-old girls in recent days has sent shockwaves through the debate over abortion rights.
In the southern state of Santa Catarina (Santa Catarina), another 10-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted and became pregnant recently sought the court’s approval for an abortion. Abortion is a crime prohibited by the Criminal Code in Brazil. It is exempted only if the pregnancy or the fetus is severely deformed. Hospitals often refuse to perform abortions in order to avoid punishment – but even girls with “justifiable reasons” are still persuaded by judges and prosecutors in court, asking for At 22 weeks pregnant, she gave birth to the baby for adoption “for a while longer” .
Even though the girl repeatedly stated that she did not want to continue the pregnancy, the judge asked her “if she could feel the fetal movement” and finally sent the girl to the shelter “for the safety of the fetus”. The girl spent more than 40 days in a shelter as her case sparked an uproar in Brazil, with President Jair Bolsonaro arguing that no matter how the fetus was conceived, the life should not be taken; meanwhile, more than 300,000 A woman signed a petition calling for the judge to be fired, and abortion rights activists took to the streets to demand the girl’s release and permission to have an abortion.
On the third day after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the “Roe v. Wade” case, Ohio’s “Trigger Laws” banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy took effect A case of a pregnant 10-year-old girl who lost her eligibility for an abortion in her hometown and was forced to travel long distances to Indiana to perform an abortion.
When angry discussions about “she’s only 10 years old” flooded the Internet, Brazilian abortion rights campaigners warned that “Brazil today” may be “the United States of tomorrow”, and when each state sets its own abortion policy, obstacles outside the legal and legal realms are all over the place. It will make abortion services more difficult to access, and the most vulnerable groups will always be the hardest hit.
In a humane non-psychopathic country, a 10 year old who was raped would be able to get care in any county and any state in the nation. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

I can’t be the only one who knows
Although Taiwan does not have the practice of tipping, more and more restaurants will charge an additional “service fee” ranging from 5-15% at checkout. Do readers think this is reasonable? In India, the “service charge culture” that has emerged in recent years has sparked a huge backlash. The government even convened a meeting with the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), which represents 500,000 restaurants in India, to try to resolve the dispute.
The Indian government advocates that customers only need to pay the amount shown on the menu and are free to decide whether to tip and how much to tip, and restaurants can pay employees reasonable wages by raising prices. Despite industry opposition, the consumer protection agency has issued new rules prohibiting restaurants and restaurants from automatically adding service charges to bills or tipping customers in any other way, and consumers can file complaints online or through a hotline.
