So basically they found an abandoned newborn baby in an airport trashcan, and decided they needed to check the vaginal areas of all the women, to see which woman had recently given birth?!? Have they never heard of stretch marks? What the actual fuck.

And yet here we are in the US banning abortions and heading down the same road. Give women options if they don't want to carry a pregnancy to term and you won't have horrific acts like neonate abandonment.

You’ll notice a commonality between the assholes in Qatar, and the assholes here.

Ultra conservative religion.

In any case, it sounds like Qatar’s sportswashing worked, they got tourists.

And you'll notice a direct correlation between ultra conservative religion and extreme poverty.

And you'll notice a direct correlation between ultra conservative religion and poor education.

I’m not sure if your last sentence was an aside or in reference to this case. But I just thought I would mention in case it was the latter; Qatar is a necessary transfer airport to Australia from Europe and the UK if you are travelling with Qatar Airlines (which is often one of the cheaper fares available on the very expensive journey) or I believe if you book via Quantas, Qatar Airlines is one of their partner companies that you could end up on.

It was in reference- didn’t know that (I read enough to get outraged, I guess.)

It’s still awful;

Uh so just an fyi, stretch marks alone aren’t an indicator of pregnancy. There are plenty of women out there that either don’t have stretch marks and have been pregnant, or do have stretch marks and have never been pregnant. I say this as someone who is pregnant with their 3rd child and doesn’t have stretch marks.

I'm saying this as a man who's had zero children and has stretch marks.

You should consider pregnancy. As a man, it's brought me nothing but joy to carry a new life into this world in my body.
