Should we really be surprised?

Just to clear this up, here's my disclaimer: "I in no way condone: drinking while driving, handling guns while drinking, handling babies while drinking, handling babies while handling guns, handling babies and guns while drinking, keeping babies in shitty diapers, waiting for Mom to change shitty diapers, sharing…

This teach the controversy crap is getting out of hand; people are sticking up for MRSA now.

I hope she gets a job offer somewhere else. Subway will probably fire that manager to save face, but nothing will change about that kind of treatment. The lower the wages, the less the benefits, which is a terrible reality about being working class. I've never worked in the food industry because I knew I could never…

The government is required to offer them the same subsidy option they offer to religious non-profits because the court decided that the family-owned for-profit businesses could not themselves be required to offer the contraceptive coverage to their employees. Basically, my understanding is that the business gets a…

The HRC is so willing to compromise, it makes them pointless.

Based on the headline alone, I thought Aramark was pioneering a new program to serve prepared insects as a source of protein in prisons. I actually thought it was a really interesting pioneer program (opt-in for prisoners) since bugs are really good from a nutrition perspective and also a cheaper source of protein.

Because I have children, I am even MORE empathetic to reasons why women need abortions. This shit is rough, and I would never want a woman to become a mother out of anything other than her own free choice.

I'm sorry your friend was a dookie head about your decision. Hopefully she pulls her head out of her ass before…

I was pro-choice but always said "I" could never do it. Until I got pregnant at 23 during a terribly dysfunctional relationship. Then "them" became "me". It was humbling. I've been an outspoken defender of women's rights ever since.

Check out the linked article. She's not not being attacked for having an imperfect past. Quite the contrary, actually:

I truly believe for abortion to remain safe and legal more and more women (like me) who had abortions and did not find the decision conflicting and do not regret them for a second are going to have to stand up and tell our stories. We need to claim our vocal place in the narrative bc right now the predominant…

I have an even better question: why do you come to Jez and ask questions when you're not even remotely interested in the answer?

Bless your heart.

My jaw dropped at the bit about the salt shaker and stayed dropped for the rest of the article.

Precisely. This nation was founded on ideals of freedom of religion. So using a bit of common sense, we can see why it's a bad thing that the government now allows corporations to enforce their religious beliefs upon employees.

That's not the point. The SC has just established that corporations have legally-protected religious beliefs.

About six years ago I met up with this weird vegan dude at a sleazy dive bar just across the river from my apartment. He looked nothing like his profile picture and had a collection of some of the worst goddamn tattoos I have ever scene.

Back in college, I contacted a guy living in my town on MySpace because I liked his profile. He responded and after a couple of days, we decided to meet up for drinks. I was in no way looking for anything serious so when he suggested we go back to his place, I said sure.
