If you have the patience, financial, physical, and emotional resources, then I’m sure that having a child with Down’s Syndrome is just as wonderful (to people who like children of course) as having a baby without Down’s Syndrome, perhaps more challenging or challenging in different ways, but that unconditional love…

Mother of a child with Down syndrome here. I also run our local Down syndrome organization. Shit like this just pisses me off. It dilutes our advocacy efforts, and shows what a divided movement we truly are. I am pro-choice. Am I sad when a woman chooses to terminate a Down syndrome pregnancy? Of course. Is it any of…

I’m fascinated by a group that thinks that mandating health insurance is violative of individual liberty and human dignity, but forcing a woman to carry to term against her will is A-Okay. The lack of awareness is incredible.

Obviously children with Down syndrome are wonderful, adorable children, but the decision to move forward with a genetic abnormality should always be an informed choice. My husband and I decided we would for Down Syndrome, but I’ve had extensive experience with special needs children. They need so much attention,…

Why do people like Trump?? I can usually respect but not agree qualities and ideas on the other party but Trump is his own political party that I just don’t get. Does he have any supporters who are not white? Does he really think he can just fill up a truck of Hispanic immigrants back to their home?

My mom did this too. She found a vibrator in my dresser and dragged me to the gyno, who luckily told her that a “virginity test” isn’t real and to go away.

You cannot fucking tell from looking. Hymen’s are all different and some people don’t even have one. Jesus. WHAT A QUACK - and how inappropriate.

To preface this: the following story takes place in Florida.

SO HERE’S HOW IT ALL WENT DOWN.

The summer after high school graduation and my boyfriend was staying the night from out of town. He slept in the guest room and, in the morning, I went in and laid on top of the covers next to him (with the door left open, of course, because rules). Soon after, two or three of our cats also jumped on the bed.

I was 17 and my mom took me to her gynecologist to have him tell her if I was a virgin or not.

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

My mom and stepdad were hanging out with some friends whom I never met. Came home at curfew and smiled as they introduced us.

Embarrassing but God they sound like they adore you.

When I was 3 years old, I accidentally murdered my pet goldfish. My mom came into the living room after having one of those “it’s been too quiet for too long” realizations, and found that both I and the goldfish we had procured that morning were missing. She found me a few minutes later, giving the goldfish a tour of…

When I was 12-13, I had discovered that I could use the internet to talk to people. My parents, who knew I was a precocious child, decided to install a spyware on the computer that would let them know everything I wrote, including awkward conversations I had with other preteen boys on IMVU (remember IMVU???) about…

Mine was thankfully only something I witnessed, but it was HORRIFYING. In middle school after leaving the dermatologist my Mom and I were at Walmart shopping for facewash. I was looking at the Neutrogena and Mom whispers in my ear “I never liked Neutrogena. It feels like cum on my face.”

My birthday is April Fool’s Day.

My father is a religious leader. One of his favorite things to do when I was growing up was to use stories from mine or my brother’s life as examples in his sermons. The week he talked about the crush I had from the pulpit *while that guy was in the room listening* was probably close to the worst thing. That, or…

When I was going to be a freshman in college my mom randomly told the Best Buy sales associate (male, naturally) we were buying a computer from that I would be starting college as a virgin. “How often do you see that?” she asked. Probably never mom, or more specifically...no one else in the history of ever has thought…
