This isn’t a question of what’s right, it’s a question of what’s possible.

I mean there aren't any babies there? Surely there is a better room people could use other then the bathroom. But I mean of course people can't use breast pumps in the middle of the ceremony?

Kerry and Dukakis were running against an at-the-time still popular sitting president and the VP of a popular outgoing administration, respectively. They both ran respectible campaigns but the truth is that Dukakis never had any chance in hell of beating HW, and Kerry had a real uphill climb. W’s ratings didn’t truly…

This just solidifies for me the notion that Mommy Bloggers are insufferable, self-absorbed, egomaniacal assholes.

I can’t speak to the loyalty of this site to Demos. However, the fact that Democrats have moved right is not something that can be stopped and is largely a result of Republicans. There is an ‘organic’ philosophy that is held by the American people. It moves left or right at times but it’s fairly centrist. When one…

How are payday loans racist? They are predatory towards low income folks, but there is no prejudice to skin color.

Party discipline is literally the only thing that will prevent Donald Trump from walking into the White House. Yes, Hillary has a mountain of faults. But she’s electable and Bernie is not. At a certain point we need to grow up and face the realistic choice that awaits in November. Who do you want for president -…

It horrifies me that there are people walking around who are so young that they can’t even conceive of people going to high school before cell phones of any kind were something that children had.

Ah, there’s nothing quite like the utter ignorance of the clueless rich kid...

And the fact that she started the post with “OH.EM.GEE.”

Ha, my mom once laughed about how when she was pregnant with me (40+ years ago), she went to town on blackberries one day and became filled with terror over how she might have destroyed “the baby.” She actually called her doctor about it, and needless to say he was quite entertained.

Really? I don’t think anyone’s disputing that a zygote, say, is alive, I think it’s more a question of when we start considering someone a human being.

Oh yeah, nitrates. And the issues with listeria in the sandwich meats. FFS. My general rule of thumb is ‘unless it’s indicated somewhere it causes spontaneous miscarriage, and it’s something I’ve eaten many times and never gotten sick AND trust the food handling practices... nom it.’.

Uh, lots of people argue that that’s not when life begins.

Sperm and eggs are alive, so this whole “life begins at conception” thing doesn’t even make sense to me.

The CDC can’t “advocate” in the way you are talking about. They are limited in what they are allowed to do and what sorts of recommendations they can make. Recommend that women avoid alcohol if it’s possible they might be or will shortly become pregnant? That’s easier to do and not have Congress puke on them than…

The whole “better safe than sorry” vein of “helpful” pregnancy advice is the bane of my 14-weeks-pregnant existence. I swear these people won’t be happy until I’m just going through life living off of kale and surrounded by bubble wrap. Fuck em, I say, and then I eat prosciutto and blackberries for breakfast.

That track and field joke. Chris Rock is living his best life and I am so glad I get to witness it.

Chris Rock is a gift. HE IS A TREASURE. FIGHT ME.
