I'm not sure what the issue is. It sounds like you are against abortion personally, in that you would not have one yourself and would try to convince a woman not to have one if she were considering it, but that in the end, you think it is her body and thus, her decision. That is pro-choice.

"I have no right to simply dictate what a woman is allowed to do with her body."

Straight brown hair, closed-mouth half-smile? That is amazing. Clearly, Ms. Holmes has been reincarnated as Disaster Girl without having actually died.

Oh my goodness. You have changed my life.

That Chumbawumba deal is both fascinating and bizarre: How can anarchists be in a band? Doesn't that sort of contradict the whole "I'm an anarchist" thing? Maybe I just don't know what anarchy actually means.

LOL! UCSB's website and Wikipedia still have him listed as a professor emeritus, so I presume he's still around, although it doesn't appear that he's teaching anymore.

I am so on board with that idea. Erin, Jessica, make it happen! We need a Worst Governor in America playoff!

I figured the situation was something like that—I don't know how many states forbid same-gender people to adopt someone else's child, but I know there's quite a few. That's so awful. I hope your associate kicks this case's ass. It makes me so angry that people have to fight for something as basic as being able to get…

Is single-parent/second-parent adoption not a possibility in Arizona? I know some gay couples choose to go that route, similar to a man adopting his wife's children from before the marriage.

THAT IS AMAZING. I have never heard of any medical professional (or anyone else, actually) actually making up to a customer for their lateness. I want to forward this to my doctor and my dentist.

You don't have time? Seriously? It takes all of ten minutes to look up Obama's and Romney's websites and read through their platform. (And if you're pro-choice and pro-gay rights, there's pretty much no question who you're going to agree with more, unless you happen to be a millionaire who values your money more than…

No—rural North Carolina. My husband is 40, though; maybe that made them less likely to question his motives. But still, it kind of freaked me out that two of them were willing to do a procedure that is so life-altering, despite being brief, with literally 30 minutes notice.

I also have a friend who had two children and never wanted another one, and when she went for a tubal, her husband was required to give her permission. In North Carolina, within the last five years. YIKES!

Plenty of people have consultations while seeking to become parents. When I went in for an annual Pap smear, I told my OBGYN that my husband and I had decided to start trying to have children. She immediately offered to ensure that my vaccinations were still up to date, got me prenatal vitamins, and gave me a bunch of…

Nope. My husband is planning to get a vasectomy in the near future. He had consultations with the three urologists in our town to see which seemed like the best. Two of the three offered to do it on the spot—literally, they had openings in their schedule that afternoon and would have done it immediately as long as he…

The Yanomami! I love when someone knows who they are, because it allows me to brag about how I took an undergrad anthropology class from the guy who "discovered" them, and by "discovered," I mean got high with them for like five years and then wrote a bunch of papers about how he single-handedly created a written…

Start with the total they owe, and count upward to the amount the gave you, not the reverse. If their bill is $12.65 and they give you a $20, start with the 65 cents—pick up a nickel, which gets you to $12.70, then three dimes, which gets you to $13 even, then two $1 bills to make $15, then a $5 bill to get to the $20…

I have a ridiculous amount of love for your comment.
