Driving Does Not Hurt Ovaries. Saudi Dr

grandmoon — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 05:31:50 GMT

A SAUDI doctor has gone on-air to dismiss claims made by a well-known cleric who caused a stir when he said medical studies show driving affects a woman's ovaries.

In comments aired over the weekend by the privately owned Rotana channel, gynecologist Mohammed Baknah says scientific studies have not proven that driving has adverse effects on women's reproductive health.

He was addressing remarks by Sheik Saleh Saad el-Leheidan who said that women who drive suffer from having the pelvis forced upward. His remarks were published on Saturday in an interview with the website el-Sabq.

Hard-line clerics have opposed a campaign scheduled for October 26 calling on women to drive in defiance of a ban in the ultraconservative kingdom.

Another cleric this month called on people to harass women who drive.

I'd say driving is more likely to interfere with mens' important bits.

.."The ban on women drivers, while informal, is enforced by Saudi police through fines and arrests. Only men are permitted to

acquire driving licences.

"If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological

medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards," Sheikh Lohaidan told the news

website Sabq.org.

"That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees."

Sheikh Lohaidan is reported to be opposed to reform more generally and granting women more rights in the kingdom.

Taxi and personal drivers won't want females being able to drive themselves around... must be big business for them picking up females to take them to work and return weekdays, plus everywhere else other females want to be driven to.

I just had a thought.....imagine trying to find the brake pedal in an emergency wearing all that laundry.

Would hamper the peripheral vision too. Just a thought.
