It's going to depend where you live. Some states outlaw lay midwives, and in those states you'd get all nurse midwives. But in many states you can call yourself a midwife with just a high school diploma and a weekend program on birth, and they are licensed and everything.

Midwives in the US are very different than the UK. In the US when someone says midwife they often mean a lay midwife, who has no specific medical training or malpractice insurance or oversight. We do have medical midwives (Certified nurse midwives) who are more akin to the UK midwives but often when people in the US…

And if they had worn something fancy then she'd be complaining about how the first family is wasting money on fancy clothes when normal American's are struggling.

The thing that makes me so upset about the "well don't drink and then you won't be raped" argument is that it is basically saying that we are cool with someone else getting raped. Protect yourself. Don't drink, stay in groups, don't go out after dark and make sure that someone else will be victimized instead of you.

This is one sort of great thing about the internet. The reason that the stories were rumors for so long is because anytime an actual journalist wrote anything they had to couch things in terms that were so mild that people reading the story wouldn't be able to know the facts. We see how Cosby handles the media. If you…

My other cat, also orange colored, is named Ginger. So I was going for a classic movie thing with them.

My cat also hates paper. Here is Fred eating my class notes.

My Mom loves Sushi, but only if we tell her everything is a California Roll. It can be Eel, or salmon, or any type of roll and she'll love it. We just have to tell her it's California.

Well the clip also mentioned that they don't have MRI machines anymore, which is why his wife died of a tumor that wasn't diagnosed in time. So, it appears that there has been a large anti-technology movement for some time. In that atmosphere denial of space travel would be more about saving face by claiming that we…

"The man who was talking about violence in games was attacked while the women discussing sexism is lauded." Are you trying to compare Jack Thompson to Anita to say that men are the ones who are bashed?

Pictures of my cats are my version of this. I even send them the relatives in the Christmas letter next to the pictures of my nephew.

I don't have an indoor voice. But then again, I have a sensory processing disorder so I actually can't ever quite know what volume my own voice is at or how to make it softer. I am so scared about the fact that people make these judgments about my personality based on things that are related to my disorder: like how…

I'm going to guess something with a larger field of women working in it that philosophy. My guess is law or political science.

I think that is the most interesting part. She didn't even REALIZE that she was writing about rape, PTSD, or domestic violence. She sounds like a woman who hasn't quite understood theory of the mind stuff, that sometimes other people can have thoughts and interpretations different than your own.

Look up who she is engaged to and his family. It's easy to get a book contract when you know the right people.

Another GH fan here, and I love Amber so much. Especially because she is not ashamed of her soap past. She wrote a great facebook post for Gh's 50th (http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/news/amber-tam…). I love when actors are not ashamed of their time on soaps and actually talk about how great the experience was. My love…

Long Kiss Goodnight is goofy but great, not surprising because is was written by Shane Black who also wrote Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and directed Iron Man 3.

I really thought that if MCU did Civil War the issue would be about the concept of private armies instead of registration. We've already seen Tony fighting the idea of giving the Iron Man suit to the government, and now that he has picked up much of SHIELD's remnants, he is going to have his own private security…

The constant comment I see is that they just don't want to have to think about this stuff. It doesn't matter if it is 5% of 50%, once someone points out that gaming has these problematic issues it makes it harder for them to enjoy the games as pure escapist fantasy.

I love Milan because she is able to write the tropes of romance novels but twist them in new and interesting ways. I'm not sure if non-romance fans would enjoy it because they wouldn't recognize the inverse of tropes, but as a romance fan they are delightful.
