You would think so, but the way they hang on to John Boehner, nope.

Fresh off the boat. (in this instance. In shipping it's Freight on Board or something similar).

I think it's an equivalent analogy personally. If someone doesn't want to do something, you can't force them. It's up to the person not receiving oral as to whether or not it's a dealbreaker or not and move on. If it bothers him/her that much, then this is something that's just going to fester and make them both…

In retrospect, it may have been Extreme Makeover. I had the nagging sensation that there was another show on at the same time and going through comments reminded me of EM. I forgot it wasn't originally a home makeover show.

That is the entire point of the show. This is not a 'get a haircut and professional makeup' show. This is all cut em up etc. show.

The thing is that when the elevator starts moving, the light at the top goes off first. It appears the elevator is moving downwards.

It's almost like a horror movie trope. I literally told off the elevator when it started moving AFTER she had gotten off. I mean, it was sitting there the whole time, with her on it? WTF?!

Why? Last time with the same circumstances, people only got riled when the woman died. I really don't see why we should consider that the acceptable standard. It's like not arresting a drunk driver until they after they kill someone; I mean sure there are risks, but hey, we might get lucky. That's bull.

In this excerpt yes. But the full article shows some hospitals are in fact that strict. And in some regions, this less-strict catholic church is thinking or merging with a more-strict one and this is a possibility for quite a few counties in Washington State.

It boils down to this. If you remove the fetus, the fetus is irretrievably lost. If you wait, you can lose both the mother AND the fetus. Waiting literally has no possible positive outcome and one major possible negative outcome. The fetus doesn't necessarily NEED to be removed, but medically speaking it is often…

Did you click through the article? Because a lot of health professionals are horrified. It's the hospital administrations that are the assholes here who are signing these agreements and signing their patients' rights away in one fell swoop.

I clicked through and read the article. The health partners are stipulating in many cases: no vasectomies, no tubal ligations, no abortions (which the article implies includes ectopic pregnancies), no doctor assisted suicide (though it's a state law to allow euthanasia) and the like. It's part of the Catholic…

Good on that mother! And wow those people suck.

True. But she WANTED one and they refused on religious grounds. That is very, VERY scary.

I think my mother watched it. She said there was one positive example where they told a a woman that they'd provide her with a dietitian and a trainer (or something similar) and she Swanned out that way, no surgery. But I could be remembering wrong (or there was a copycat piece of dreck that did it)

They just were testing for efficacy at this point since it worked on animals (insert ill-advised snark about women as chattel here) so they were testing side effects. They had no mechanism for testing of any medication on women at ALL at the time. It just WAS NOT DONE. The fact that this medication was for women…

In addition to all other comments, they are being charged for the privilege of hanging around in the hospital while nature takes its course. That is a kind of psychological torture I can't imagine for a woman in the position stated here.

I remember that before they were initially put on the market, birth control test subjects were men. Exclusively. Medical establishment has a lot of catching up to do.
