1. Clinton is a hawk by moderate, democratic standards, which means slightly more so than Obama. The idea that she’s a hawk on par with Republicans is laughably stupid. It’s pathetic how many leftists are buying into the ‘both sides bad’ fallacy because they’ve absorbed decades of anti-Hillary propaganda and are…

Oh, so now you’re all pro-choice but what about the pro-lifers? Why can’t they be one of the kewl kids? If you knew your ass from a hole in the ground you’d know the answer to that question. Posting it only made you appear to be one of them.

I don’t give a fuck about pro-lifers. I don’t want them. I don’t want them to…

They can be, but that would probably mean some level of compromise with their distate of abortion since any true understanding of women’s subjigation and advocacy against it must include an acknowledgement of pregnancy as a tool of oppression, and understanding that sometimes there is only one way to throw that yoke…

Forced pregnancy denies the right to bodily autonomy, turning what should by law be a voluntary gift of organs, blood, tissue into a mandate. Since pregnancy is primarily a woman’s venture, forced pregnancy represents and undue burden upon women as a class to have their bodies exploited by others against their will.

If they honestly believe it to be murder, they can oh-so-helpfully choose to abstain from having a medical procedure known as abortion. There is no room for caveats. Be responsible for yourself. Make your own life decisions. Create your own moral codes. Live by them.

But don’t get in the way of my reproductive rights.

Thanks! While you’re busy trying to insult someone based on a stereotype... I’ll stay over here worrying about my basic human rights and the equality that I don’t have. Oh and calling bullshit on every moron that wants to pretend they have something to say on the topic of equality as long as there isn’t a fucking…

It’s not the abortion that’s an unmitigated good, it’s the CHOICE. It’s the control over one’s own body.

Because you can’t. Full stop. The moment you decided that you know what’s better for another woman’s body, mind, spirit, family, etc etc based on a fucking fetus, is the moment that you gave away your right to include yourself in a political movement for equality.

You, conservatives, and these “new wave” assholes that…

You can’t call yourself a feminist then say a woman doesn’t have a right to choose what to do with her body. It’s like people who say they are socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. You cannot support one without the other.

I present to you one of their sad attempts at feminism:

This is the same bullshit that came about when Palin called herself a feminist. Feminism isn’t just because you say you are, and you can’t just discard the parts you dislike that are central to the idea - like reproductive freedom. That’s not to say you can’t be against the idea of abortion in theory, but you at least…

But that isn’t a real choice for Fiorina, whose feminism—if measured in the relationship between social equity and her policies of choice—is about as substantial as a cardboard cutout of a suffragette...

To young girls and women across the country, I say: do not let others define you.

Yo, Carly, you are not a feminist because you think those people from the “Center for Medical Progress” were for real.

I have it too! I’ve failed cimzia and humira and am waiting for approval to start actemra infusions, and of course am on mtx. I never refer to any of it as chemo, but I can understand why someone would. People don’t understand how serious these drugs are. You immune system is whack....I got a scratch a couple of…

I have a genetic disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, type 3 (aka hypermobility joint syndrome). I also have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, with onset after a nasty battle with EBV (mono) at age 40. The symptoms of both are incredibly disparate, come and go randomly, and vary in intensity from mildly irritating to a…

Her struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis is so vastly different from Brooks’ (who lied that he was sick) and Yolanda’s (who is unwell, but claims to have a disorder that science-based medicine does not recognize) cases. The comparison doesn’t seem to fit. RA is a well-established autoimmune disorder, not a medical…

THIS. Systemic JRA sufferer here. I get really sick of people who think RA doesn’t exist or is caused by gluten/sugar/moonbeams or whatever the flavor of the month is. We’re tired enough fighting our bodies. We don't need to fight over terminology and whether it actually exists too.

Um yes, many RA or other arthritis patients can and do rightfully say we’re receiving chemo. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy agent. Here’s the problem: when people hear arthritis, they think of grandma with a sore thumb. The reality is people with autoimmune arthritis are sick every damn day, with joint pain and…

It is irresponsible to suggest that someone might not be sick because they don’t “act” like it, just as it’s irresponsible to not accurately present a particular illness.
