More Islam, More Misogyny: Turkey: pregnant women in public 'immoral and unpleasant'
"Between the cloth prisons (burkas), the honor violence, the clitordectomies, the lessened worth of women (under sharia), etc., you would think there would be a worldwide women's revolution in the Muslim world. But the oppression and control is so powerful that they actually have women buying into this misogyny."

Ansamed, July 25, 2013
(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JULY 25 - ... Omer Tugrul Inancer in a TV program exhorted pregnant women not to show themselves in public ... Hurriyet online reported.
''It is against our civilization to use fanfare to announce a pregnancy. Pregnant women also should not go around in public with those bellies. It's not aesthetic'', Inancer said on public TRT 1 TV channel. ''After seven or eight months, future mothers should only leave the house by car with their husbands to get some fresh air, and only in the evening. Instead we see them all over television. It's unpleasant. This is not realism, it's immorality''. The program presenter thanked him with ''May God listen to you''.
