“The Ring in the Fish” is a motif that appears in folk tales of many cultures and languages, including Greek, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Irish, German, and Dutch. The unlikely appearance of the the ring inside the fish may bring wealth or justice to the hero of the story or punishment to the villain. This image draws most directly from the Dutch tale “The Lady of Stavoren.”

The hypocrisy always gets me. The same groups of people who support a law which allows people to murder other people with guns if they *feel* that person *may* be a threat to them (stand your ground) tout a “right to life” when it comes to abortion. For me, childbirth was the closest I have ever been to death. Pregnancy is a credible threat (physical, existential, psychological, financial) to the lives of many people who are now left defenseless. I am heartbroken and furious.
