And its that exact same mentality that allowed the AIDS virus to proliferate the way it did in the early 80's.

Not to mention the fact that they don’t even CARE if women die performing these abortions on themselves. Remember the nutter in Colorado Springs? The twitter response by the so-called “pro-lifers”: “If a woman dies trying to procure an abortion than she deserved it.”

If this is indeed the ring worn by Saint Joan of Arc, it is a holy relic. It is simony to purchase or sell a saint’s relic and a serious sin in the Catholic Church. And yes, since Joan of Arc is a Catholic saint Catholic rules apply.

Fun historical fact: Cardinal Henry Beaufort was the grandson of King Edward III and was born a *gasp* bastard. His father, John of Gaunt eventually married his longtime paramour Katherine Swynford (sister-in-law to Chaucer) which was a huge scandal at the time. I love 700 year old gossip!

Exactly. We could solve the problem in a variety of ways, but we would amazingly still find that if women are having sex with no consequences, these people are going to be very unhappy.

The red states threw out separation of church and state a LONG time ago. Witness abstinence only sex education. Based on nothing except religion, since it sure isn’t workable science.

The sad thing is they could reduce abortion so much by improving education and access to birth control, but they don’t really want to prevent abortion, they want to prevent any and all sex for pleasure. Sex must have consequences!

It’s not about ending abortion, never has been. It’s about punishing the impure for the rest of their (and the unwanted fetus/child’s) life. If they wanted to end abortion, than they’d support universal mandatory sex ed and have condoms/bc available to anyone able to ovulate/ejaculate. Abortion would virtually…

Oh god, you’re right. They don’t care, do they. They would see it as righteous punishment for your sinful ways. I’ve been living in a happy fantasyland where they just don’t get that limiting safe abortion will lead women to unsafe abortion. It had never occurred to me that they know they’re killing women and ...just…

My great-grandfather died at 101 in 1991. He was born in 1890, 10 years before the airplane was invented and he watched a man land on the moon.

FastPass system is THE KEY to doing it right. I was lucky enough to go with family who knew it well the first time. I think you can save a ton of money and time if you have someone who knows the ropes. If you find hotels at the right time and are okay staying in the budget ones you can for sure find deals on par with…

Will this never cease to be the truth??

Fearing for your safety isn’t a good enough reason to end a life, to me. It’s way too vague; it could mean the cops were afraid they’d get cut, maybe even need some stitches, or break a bone. But that’s part of police work, you might get cut or break a bone. The only time it should be acceptable to end a life is when…

It’s scary. For years liberal dudes have been telling me how the two parties are basically the same. And it’s better not to vote or to vote third party. Because the only difference is maybe a democrat is pro-choice (which also usually goes with a lot of other pro-women attitudes). As if that is nothing. All things…

These books (50SoG, Twilight) are not really about sex, although that adds titillation. They’re about attention. Many women don’t get enough (or in many cases, any) attention from their partners. The wish fulfilment in them comes from having a handsome, powerful, different guy suddenly see what makes Ana/Bella (YOU)…

I considered including “rich” as item two on the “redeeming qualities” list, but given how often he uses his weath as just another way to be an enormous creep, it kinda ends up in the minus column, too.

Yeah, as far as I can tell, the complete list of his redeeming qualities is:

Kate, I always love reading Jezebel’s light-hearted posts when stressed out at work, but incredibly thorough, well-researched articles like this are what keeps me coming back.

Those parents didn’t give a SHIT about their daughters’ trauma or safety. The problem in their minds was that this got out into the community because he was molesting other people’s children too. Fuckabee is siding with them, because to him, the “problem” was that it got into the press and social media. It’s really…
