It was actually an episode of Raiders of the Lost Art.

If it makes you feel any better, most of those kids will change their minds.

Of course not. These people think women have abortions because they’re selfish, evil sluts who want sex without responsibility when it’s only MEN who get to have sex without consequences.

Yep. I was in my (Catholic) school’s Pro Life Club, and I went to protests when I was a young teenager. I felt sorry for aborted fetuses, but didn’t think about the women who had to carry them. As I got older, and more of my friends became sexually active, I became pro-choice.

This is a really good point that needs to be stated more often. If you know very little about how sex and conception and pregnancy actually work, it is a lot easier to see restrictions on abortion as no big deal, no problem at all. Even for myself, until I had been pregnant the first time, I didn’t understand the…

It’s amazing how many abortion providers will tell you that they have had protesters in the clinic for a procedure, only to go right back out and keep on keepin’ on. That has certainly happened at the clinic I escort at.

Yep, I bet it’s really easy to get a bunch of virgins to be opposed to abortion. Come see me after your first pregnancy scare, you tiny jerks.

When I was a teenager living in Columbus, I did a mean and dangerous thing. I have never before confessed this, but here goes...

Being disgusted/disturbed by images or video of medical procedures isn’t really going to stop people from getting medical procedures...

One reason we get so annoyed about this is because we can follow all these dumb rules and still get raped. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped drunk. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped sober. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by strangers. I’ve got friends who’ve been raped by friends. People want to set up all these…

If it grosses you out to read it, imagine what it was like to live it.

I’m allergic to gluten so I’ve gotten used to never getting to eat dessert at family dinners, or in most restaurants. One Thanksgiving, someone brought me a mini gluten-free apple pie. I was so overjoyed—it was a big fucking deal to me. Not just bc of the pie itself, but that someone made a special trip to buy me my…

But the system is not working for victims, that’s the whole point. The system is slow, complicated, expensive, and unresponsive to the unique needs of DV survivors. And it does little to nothing to protect survivors from the dangers they face by reporting.

I can tell from most of these responses you have never had to deal with an abusive partner, a stalker or the justice system when you try to deal with aforementioned problem.

Did you even read the article? The system has already failed her multiple times

Thanks for mansplaining the effects of domestic violence on women and children

Holy hell. I’m over saying the same thing over and over. See my other comments for the answers.

If he goes on to kill another woman, the only person responsible for that action is him. She is not responsible for another human being’s actions.

The point is stopping someone from killing them in that moment. If someone is attacking me and I call 911, I am not calling because I want that person to be prosecuted. I am calling because if I do not, then I might die.

And of course her mental health is completely irrelevant! Take one for the team, right? Oh, you’re homeless, have extreme anxiety, are being multiply re-traumatised and have no money? Well I guess you should just suck it up. Which is a thing you can definitely do when you have an anxiety condition. Not like those…
