POPSMaking History: Man Prepares To Give Birth This is completely fascinating to me. Of course, it reminds me of the old Billy Crystal movie, "The Rabbit Test", where Crystal plays a man who becomes pregnant. I haven't seen that movie in years. But, ever since I saw it, I have watched to see if science would ever advance the real idea of men giving birth. Technically, the man in this clip is transgendered, meaning he was born with female reproductive organs, but looks like a man and lives as a male. The discrimination and the bigotry that he has faced through the healthcare system and from his own family is sad and despicable. I will continue to follow this story with some fascination. Mostly because it smacks in the face of everything we have come to know and expect when it comes to the idea of creating a family.

POPSSoldiers families Suffer Rates of neglect and abuse of the children of servicemen and women rose 42% within the family when the enlisted parent was deployed on a combat mission, according to a new study led by senior health analyst Deborah Gibbs of RTI International, a research institute in North Carolina. Previous studies have shown an association between combat-related deployments and higher levels of stress in the family, and it is this stress that is thought to play a major role in the maltreatment of children by the parent who stays home.

POPSFamily Life vs Military Life
I thought it was appropriate to clip this as a follow up to another clip I posted. It doesn't matter whether a soldier supports the context of this war. It doesn't matter their reasons for joining or even re-enlisting. What matters is that continual separation from family and loved ones for extended amounts of time, not to mention jobs (for reserve/guard members), is actually putting more strain on the soldiers as they miss out on those things that the average citizen takes for granted such as baby's first word or Junior's first day of school or Junior's high school graduation or even the births of their children. It's a shame that the family value's crowd seems not to care about the families of these soldiers so long as they have the bodies they need to fight these two wars. Rather they would like to beat up on homosexuals and blame them for the breakdown of the traditional family. These days, I'd say that continuous war is doing just what they accuse gay people of doing.
