You think this kid is going to be "okay" with the fact his/her family requested the mother/fetus be untied in their death, but the court over-ruled it? Even assuming the pregnancy can make it that long. It is, in spite of media reports, rare for a brain dead woman's body to continue the pregnancy and the babies are…

To do this against the wishes of the family, and the reported wishes of the deceased woman, is monstrous. Age of Aquariums. Our bodies are are only as valuable as the content's of our wombs.

I have Asperger's. Diagnosed by specialists not self-diagnosed, since that is frequently asked. It is both a blessing and a pain in the ass, and has affected my life in myriad ways (both good and bad), but I have had enough thearpy/life skills that I can "pass" as a Muggle in limited time-frames. Provided I don't get…

I concur that, like ESB, it was better than the first movie. Just please God don't let them fumble the third one ...

How is opening the door and aiming a loaded, primed shotgun at someone's face NOT at the very MINIMUM reckless endangerment?? And to echo a point — if the man was "scared" WHY IN THE FUCK did he OPEN the fucking door????? This looks like Negligent homicide ("a criminal charge brought against people who, through crimina…

BLUB!!!!!

I think she is only calling married/kids a "success" because that was the "lack of success" the roommate said she would endure for her failure to have her vagina sewn shut. That's how it read to me, anyway.

I and my oldest daughter both have Asperger's. Clinically (not self) diagnosed, because someone almost always asks. It is rare to find someone on the spectrum who isn't at least mildly OCD. I can easily see that when "trainspotting" turns to food + cultural emphasis that "good" women are thin = anorexia. My…

Hide the Devil's Dumplings! Hide them I say! *faint*

I am also on team OB.

Wow. Not since I read a blog devoted to "debunking" global warming have I seen so much closed circle studies as these GMOs-are-fine reports. I guess we should definitely not follow more stringent safety guidelines to ascertain the effects of GMOs, like those in Europe? Because we all know European countries are not as…

I actually live in Bloomington. It is an oasis of blue in a red state ... except for pockets of elitist asshats like these. My church offers a homeless shelter at night and works with an interfaith philanthropy group that tried to help homeless people get back on their feet (whenever possible; they don't have the…

Ironically, I just close my eyes real tight and let them give me the shot at the dentist's because the thought of teeth pain makes my brain cringe. The dentist brings the needle in behind me, and makes sure I never see it, and makes sure I am coated with numbing gel so I can't feel it go into my gum. I love my dentist.

I had natural childbirth because I was so afraid of needles that I didn't want an epidural. Other than setting an example of extremism, I got nuthin'.

I agree. Plus, you used the phrase "dribs and drabs", which we really need to use more because it is awesome.

May I suggest this flamethrower? *shares her toys*

While I agree with the piece, the title sucks goat balls. I am a stay at home feminist. My oldest child has Asperger's and my career derailed when my grad school "mysteriously" un-funded me post-coursework when I was pregnant with her. I "make" more money staying home right now because the childcare bill for 3 kids is…

O Thank God that was not the only who worried about what "Twitter weapon icing" meant. I never know what crazy names these whipper-snappers have for their social media magic.

I know how much I would LOVE it if my grandpa had told the whole world (while I was still in high school mind you) that he was worried about what a skanky sperm dumpster I might turn out to be, now that my parents have clearly shown that they hate me by divorcing each other. I can't figure out is this is worse…

Oddly enough, I am Episcopalian (AKA: American Anglicans with Gay People and Chicks for Some Priests), but I totes agree that high horse Christians are irksome AND vexatious. However, I also subscribe to the theory he was sincerely deluded in his selfishness. Moreover, Anne was a devoted reformer long before Henry…
