Why Do Women Need Control Over Their Bodies? Understanding Abortion Laws in India
The issue of abortion has consistently sparked considerable debate and conversation. Some individuals advocate for the rights of mothers or pregnant women to choose to continue with the pregnancy or terminate it; conversely, others believe that a foetus is more than just a mere collection of cells, viewing it as a living entity with its own life, deserving of individual rights and freedoms separate from those of the pregnant woman. A notable instance when personal freedoms were at risk was when women's access to safe abortion services was jeopardized. For many years, until 1971, India deemed abortion criminal and referred to it as “intentionally causing miscarriage.” Voluntary abortion, except in cases where the pregnant woman's life was endangered, could result in a punishment of up to three years in prison, a monetary fine, or both.

THE KING OF IGALA
In the heart of Nigeria, amidst the lush landscapes of the Benue and Niger rivers, ruled by a monarch of indomitable spirit and unwavering principle: Attah Ameh Oboni, the King of the Igala people. Revered as a custodian of tradition and a symbol of defiance, his name echoed through the valleys and hills of Igala land. His towering frame, dark skin, and the ever-present cap that veiled his ears were as much his identity as the strength and wisdom he wielded.

7 Days of Grieving - 7
I didn't sleep well last night at all. Partly because of Spike Lee's movie watched the night before and partly because of my worries for my personal future and plans for the next four years. I'd fall asleep a couple of times but then would be jolted out of it by the realization that we only have about two months of relatively normal life. And then the elephant with a demolition chained ball will enter our fragile little shop of the American democracy.

7 Days of Grieving - 6
Today was a busy and hard day. After I was done with all my four classes, I had a short conversation with my mother as I had to rush to a committee meeting. Mom lives in Russia and our Skype communication is one-way: she calls me when she can, I cannot reach her at all. So I pick up whenever she calls, even for a short call. Mom called me the first time today right in the middle of the class I was teaching. My students were amused to hear me speak Russian to her as I was making sure that nothing major bad happened and asking her to call me back later. She called about an hour later and we exchanged all the family news (we rarely talk politics as it is simply not safe). After that, I went to my Assist Committee meeting.

November 9, Saturday Today was easier because I didn’t see a lot of people. In the morning, I went to a great museum in a neighboring town. It’s a manor that was a part of the Underground Railroad that helped runaway southern slaves to get to Canada through Lake Erie. I’ll write a separate story about the place later, it is truly fascinating. The folks who run it are wonderful and dedicated to preserving the manor in its original beauty.

November 8, Friday Today I finally woke up at 6 am, without waking up every hour during the night. The realization of the election loss is still jolting and sobering. But I'm trying to tell myself that the inauguration is still two months away and perhaps there's time to prepare myself for the inevitable bad governance.
