Part of Trump’s, uh, eccentricity is that there are certain things that he just cannot let go. It’s not rumination, exactly (that would be too typical), nor is there an obvious pattern. He simply cannot control himself. It’s something to do with perceived ego injuries, and what he perceives as ego injuries are just…

I had the opposite experience. All of a sudden people started telling me about their miscarriages. That might just be the difference of a few years, especially since so many women aren’t keeping as close track of their cycles in their twenties and might not even realize when they miscarried, whereas women in their 30s…

Your body isn’t broken and it IS doing what it’s supposed to do. You conceived. If I recall, the likelihood of conception with proper timing is about 1/4 per cycle for someone your age, so you’re not notably off schedule. Plus, give your body a break for deciding it needs a break. Even a short pregnancy is very…

Yeah, that’s not a long time. They might not take you that seriously given the short time and the fact that you’ve successfully conceived. Also, don’t underestimate how invasive (and expensive) treatment can be.

This happened to a friend of mine. It took over a year of multiple symptoms until she found a doctor who took it seriously.

Two early miscarriages and I’m at 27 weeks now, with everything looking great. That third attempt was scary (who wants to go through this again), and the first trimester of pregnancy was downright harrowing (I even spotted a couple of times), but it’s been great ever since. Miscarriage is incredibly common, just the…

Most gun owners aren’t gun nuts, ironically.

Why is it that when terrible things happen to women — like having her body held down while someone inserts his penis into against her will — it’s totally NBD, but when a guy has something capricious happen to him it’s THIS WILL NOT STAND!

I would consider it a much worse outcome if my son grew up to hurt women than if some unfair shit happened to him from time to time.

Right! Totally misread that. Thanks!

Wait, their teen pregnancy rate is HIGHER than their adult pregnancy rate??? Holy crap.

Well, there’s no such thing as just signing away parental responsibilities, although a shocking number of people think there are.

Exactly, that’s why this is an important precedent. Think of how many people walk away from their partners during pregnancy or right after birth. Remove a biological tie and I bet that number goes up for both sexes.

No, courts don’t just allow a child to have one parent when there were two before. A child can be adopted by a second parent, but not just abandoned.

Not even. This would be more like a man or woman divorcing a wife pregnant with a sperm donor, after pursuing that pregnancy together.

A legal father is a legal father, irrespective of biological relation. If you find out later that your legal child is not your biological child, you are still responsible. In some instances, you don’t even need to sign the birth certificate, if you are married to the mother, you are presumed to be the legal father.

And sometimes a psychopath is just a psychopath. No one is arguing that she suffered from delusions.

I’ve given to them and I know my mom and her friends REALLY give to them. (I’ve given more to PP.)

Agreed. I think I will I be doing a much wider investigation of lobbying/organizing organizations the next time it’s time to make a donation. At least with PP, you know it’s going to health care services. But NARAL is all about the political action.

What was great about this segment, was that it was actually meant to rev people up to take action and not just watch politely. She totally came down on NARAL’s toothlessness.
