omg did you just solve depression? Mind blown.

Pretty consistent with the Republican mantra: “Dole for me, not for thee!”

I always love the invocation of Schrodinger’s Immigrant: “them illegals stealing our jobs while they sit around on welfare popping out anchor babies.”

“Calling them a racist is sort of a way to end a legitimate and thoughtful discussion and that’s unfortunate.”

And talking about/eating yogurt.

My awesome Women Studies professor in college, when faced with the abortion question, just smiled at the token troll and said “If you want there to be fewer pregnancy terminations, then you should advocate for free childcare and work towards reducing the stigma on un-wed mothers.” mic drop. Love you, Prof. Roy!

This is such a great way to put it. I got pregnant with a guy during a one-night stand. I was 25, barely making ends meet, and facing the prospect of raising a baby in a one-bedroom apartment that I shared with my rambunctious pitbull. Not a great environment.

First, that her mother (in Texas in the 50s) had been forced by her parents to have a “back alley” pregnancy termination that nearly killed her and she regretted forever. Second, that she had…

Don’t forget judging all the other women.

I have it on good authority that women are actually different species than men and can only be observed from a pure biological lens. Women be like, am I right?

I don’t regret mine. Especially since I ended my relationship with my ex and finally realized how abusive and controlling he was (told me he’d never marry me until I was less than 130 pounds. He monitored everything I ate and the 80 lbs I lost in the span of a few months still wasn’t enough for him). I don’t regret…

Same.

It’s almost like women are humans who generally know what’s best for them and their lives.

Smartest thing I ever did, just ahead of ditching the loser who knocked me up.

I know this is off track, but everytime I think of the outrage at Amandla being cast as Rue, I get so irritated... DID NONE OF THE PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ THE DISCRIPTION OF RUE IN THE BOOK?!?
