She really did fuck up with what she said, but it is a good apology and she isn’t trying to excuse it with any bullshit like , “Well I just got my words jumbled.”

I don’t think it’s a question of intelligence; I think it’s one of caring. She will never need an abortion or social welfare benefits, so in her mind those issues are unimportant. It’s like when I hear about how tax plans affect people with a lot of investment income — that’s not me and it’s never going to be me, so…

I made a burner for this. No one knows this story except me, my husband and our healthcare providers. I had an abortion of a baby I wanted more than anything, ever. I loved her so much.

People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.

Golda Meir had it right. Men should just stay home.

the cost of living has risen since then, and it’s safe to conclude that salaries have risen along with it.

This is so silly. No one would ever buy this because Ted Cruz is a really likable guy!

So you’re saying you made a well thought out, reasonable decision about your health and your body; the people responsible for it did not judge or subject you to their personal bias; and your supportive partner was there for you and cared for you before, during and after.

“Contraceptives are not a solution.”

In some respects, I find Kasich even more repugnant that Trump or Cruz. At least they are upfront with their misogyny and intolerance. Kasich is a stealth bigot.

Fun fact: If you spend money like a crazy person you’ll go broke. Even if you’re a successful recording artist.

That last one stings particularly given how much effort women have to put into their appearance just to be considered professional.

You know what they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

I don’t mind Bernie. He sounds like my Queens-born father and looks like a Philosophy professor I had in undergrad. His problem is his ideas and proposals, while great, have zero chance of working with the Congress. Congress, which is a bag of dicks, would eat him for lunch. Clinton knows how to work the system in her…

Good. I’m a mid-senior level admin (5 years experience) at a Fortune 100 company and recently learned that an entry-level (just graduated a month ago) male admin is making the same amount as me.

Michael Schiavo was treated horribly and got the worst raw deal when the fucking congress intervened to collude with Terry’s parents’ denial and he was straight up demonized in the right wing press. It was monstrous how this whole thing was treated like a political football. I had to stop watching. There was something…

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

This one, about a woman who went into preterm labor at 15 weeks and was denied an abortion, is incredibly powerful and well done. It’s a side of the abortion debate that not a lot of people think about

Which of These Aspiring Sex-Havers Will You Spend the Blizzard With?

I’m in my 50s. I have so many stories of how women had to go through hell to get an abortion or birth control and what happened when they couldn’t get one or both.
