Let's agree you're all idiots. There are actual serious problems and all you can do is throw the words "Liberal!" and "Conservative!" back and forth as if they were insults. Is this going to solve anything? I wouldn't mind so much if it kept you busy while the adults talked, but the adults can't hear themselves think…

Maybe he was annoying her and she figured sex would keep him from talking? If you know what I mean....

just saw him in Detroit! Amazing show!! He played a 3 hour set!!! I can't hear anything and I never will again!!!!

I agree. Staying home to force a VBAC could be dangerous for the woman and the newborn. By threatening women with child services or forced medical procedures, hospitals make it more likely women will stay home instead of laboring in the hospital were help is available. That's why I think the hospital was wrong. I was…

I can't stop watching it

"Two girls for every boy!"

So Whoopi's assumption is that he lost his temper because she hit him first? Having dated an asshole who pushed me around, I can safely say I hit him 0 times. In fact, I've never hit anyone as an adult. How many times was I "the last thing he wanted to deal with"? Lots, usually because he was moody and crazy. Whoopi,…

I watched Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex* in high school as part the Bad Movie Appreciation Society I belonged to, and I liked it.

I would watch Julianne Moore and Michael Cera. Someone make that movie happen!

It's not that I disagree that VBA3C is extremely risky. It's that hospitals shouldn't be threatening women with child services or threatening to perform a procedure on a patient without consent. I wouldn't choose to attempt a VBA3C, but I also wouldn't go near a hospital that pulled this shit.

And this is why the hospital is wrong. If women stay home without any birth attendant at all because they know the hospital gives a rat's ass about their consent for procedures, they and their infants are at greater risk than if the women trusted the hospital enough to labor there.

Confidential to (some of) America's hospitals: the police and child services shouldn't be a substitute for bedside manner. As many other posters have pointed out, only the woman and her doctor have access to her medical files. Maybe they should sit down and come up with a plan for the birth, so everyone is on the same…

I married a guy with a star wars action figure collection, I love Pete Seeger, and we have both star wars and empire strikes back sheets and duvet covers, plus a little plush Yoda who sleeps with us. See, those things don't disqualify you ;)

WHAT IS WITH THE FISH-HATE?!!! FISH ARE FRIENDS!!!

1. You shouldn't grab other people's crotch without consent.

The thing is if more families and kids were outdoors playing, it would be safer. No one feels they can send their kid out to play because the streets are deserted.

Yes, it is. I took the bus by myself at 9, and spent many unsupervised hours at the library or in a park. Besides, the kid had a cell phone and was meeting her mom for lunch. The kid's 9, not a preschooler.
