Diaper Change #10 - Death Penalty

A Note About Diaper Changes

A mother isn’t bothered by a messy diaper or a child covered in vomit. We clean them off, sometimes singing to them or tickling them along the way and then we send them off to play.

As such a mom, I’m treating each Vulgar Buzz Original (VBO) as a child with a dirty diaper. I’m not bothered much by its stench and refuse to ignore the child because it is smelly or in this case, uttering crass vulgarities under dire duress. By the way, VBOs are also known as WWMSU's (What Would Michelle Say in Utero?) to honor our often referenced and Darling Derry Girl.

The Dirty Diaper (VBO #10 aka WWMSU #10)

Ok, this one hits really close to home. As insensitive as this is to the plight of women violently treated like I was, I can only say from my own experience that I wish I'd seen an image like this before I made my choice to abort. As traumatized as I was, maybe something would have snapped inside me and I'd have realized that it wasn't my child's fault that their father was the absolute worst sort of violent human possible.

I don't really believe in the death penalty, but if all death penalties were one day outlawed I'd vote for people who rape to be the exception. Anyone who rapes anyone, no matter the gender of those raped or the gender of the perpetrator, should be sent into the afterlife to deal with God as quickly as due process allows. It is perhaps the most grievous evil on earth in my mind and I am NOT alone in that sentiment.

The Clean Diaper (WWFFS #10)

It was pretty easy to find the image used by The Vulgar Buzz and then copy the style with InDesign to make the more civil language version above. It isn't important which image helps a person make a better choice, it only matters that the message hits home before it is too late for the most vulnerable humans in the world.
