Here's another take on Zika (BTW did you see the CDC confirms it can be sexually transmitted and also acquired via blood transfusion and organ transplant?)
Women on Waves has announced that it will provide free medical abortions to pregnant women with Zika. The charity has invited women who are less than 9 weeks pregnant to fill out online consulation to require the drugs. The service was founded in 1999. The team travels by boat to deliver contraceptives, information, training workshops and safe abortion services outside territorial waters in countries where abortion is illegal, accord to its website. Women on Waves is urging women in Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Guadeloupe, Paraguay, Venezuela, Argentina, Surinam, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Haiti, Dominican Republic to apply as soon as possible as shipment of the medical abortion can take up to 1-5 weeks.

A group called Return of the Kings is holding worldwide meetings on Saturday night to make rape legal on private property.
