Rapists rarely wear condoms. Asshole.

Women are not always able to demand that their partner use a condom. Some just won't. And if you can't comprehend of a culture or social system in which a woman (very often a married woman) simply *cannot* refuse her partner sex, then your world view is very limited. Before you helpfully suggest the pill, I also…

Complications in legal abortions in the US is one in 4 million, complications in giving birth is one in 300. Having an legal abortion is much, much, safer than giving birth.

I think this article is more to point out the terrible shit that happens when you restrict women's access to abortion. With no access to safe abortion, there are no great solutions.

Not necessarily. A lot of married couples don't have sex as frequently as the husband would like. Sometimes work/kids/house/life get in the way.

Although someone did point out that (according to the reddit thread) they're only 26, so you may be on to something.

If this guy wanted to get really anal, he'd probably be turned down for that too.

Did I miss where it said eight hours a day? I read "several hours." She had a cell phone. It's not ideal. But the mom is poor. High ideals are easier when you have leisure and money.

This bears repeating.

Sure it is. My childhood was unsupervised. I was basically pushed out the door and told to be home when the street lights came on.

Of course it's okay. We're talking about a 9-year-old, not a 4-year-old.

Jesus Christ. When I was a kid during the summer, the only time I saw my parents was when I came home for dinner. We'd play outside, unsupervised for WEEKS! Fucking busy bodies need go find a hobby.

It would've made my day if the little girl told the busybody that she wasn't supposed to talk to strangers.

What's really upsetting about this story is that it's happening at the same time as reproductive rights restrictions. So: Don't have an abortion, don't have access to birth control, but once you have that kid, child care? You're on your own.

Wow… my sister and I often played at the local park all day during the summer while my parents worked while growing up. We had a neighbour who we would go to for lunch, band-aids and bathroom breaks, but otherwise we happily played in the sun with all the other kids. It was great, and I have never once felt like my…

But if you are low income, your are not supposed to be financially savvy. duh.

I read this story off of a reddit link, and a lot of people also came to her defense in keeping the car. The fact is, a known vehicle with a known maintenance history is a relatively smart decision over selling and getting a possible clunker. Controlling risk is just as important as controlling finances.

"Please, god, tell me there is some situation that an artist will not depict Disney Princesses in."

My first thoughts when seeing the lede was, "Well that's two years longer than he would have gotten for raping her when she was alive."
