Thanks for the heads-up. I've written my congressperson.

Probably not. Some fundie twit came up with the whole "argument" some time ago and they all thought it was just amazingly pithy and insightful, and like every other lame "argument" fundies come up with, the herd instinct took over and they took the meme to the streets to trot it out on non-believers.

My vagina, my uterus, my blood, my organs, MY RULES.

FUCKIN A

I wanted one very much, thank you for asking. I'm proud of making the best decision I could have made in the situation I was in (too young, too uninsured, too being-stalked-by-a-crazy-ex, too having-fled-my-country-out-of-fear). I do not regret a thing nor feel any sense of loss or "what if." Do I count in your mind…

Oh, that's the insufferable little prick judging the entire world for not doing things the way he's decided is the best way to do them, with his vast SIX MONTHS of experience and expertise?

That doesn't sound cool of your mom to say. Please don't stress out. I met my beloved perfect awesome husband when I was in my mid-30s, and we're heading toward 10 years and going strong now. It's okay if it takes some time.

A year or so ago I got married to the man I'd been living with for ten years. Not too much changed. But my previous marriage involved a lot less pre-marriage time together, and yes, my then-husband changed dramatically after the wedding day. He became way way more male-privileged, controlling, and emotionally abusive.…

I didn't remember his name, but instantly knew just from the dickish descriptions that it had to be the same idiot who wrote the piece about being a virgin till marriage. The guy's a cosmic-level tool. I feel so bad for his poor wife. When she finally realizes that every one of her husband's reasons for loving…

I've met a couple, but there's a world of difference between "smart" and "capable of critical thinking and rationally assessing arguments."

I'll use very small words for you. Yes, you are wrong. Yes, you are making a false comparison between gun ownership and vagina ownership, namely this: it is a legal right to own a gun, but it is not legal to own someone else's vagina. It's alarming that you equate owning an object with owning a part of another…

Agreed. It's ten times more evil when women do this to other women. I've got to wonder what kind of fucked-up indoctrination Brown has in that ickie, sewage-clogged head of hers.

It's barely seven in the morning here and my house was (WAS) totally quiet. Jezebel, you owe me for the scratch marks my cat left in the jacket on my couch, which she made in her panic to escape when the noise filled my living room.

OH NOES, not a woman wearing whatever she thinks will convey her arguments and message the best. OH NOES! She might influence someone around you one day! Or even you! Can't have that! "Modesty" = "the mindset that society owns a woman's body and that it is that woman's responsibility to monitor her clothing to avoid…

Thank you. I was thinking something similar, a world where I'm forced to have a child I wasn't ready for and didn't want. I'm young and homeless in a foreign country with no health insurance or social support. I have no maternal feelings whatsoever and have known I didn't want kids since I was 16, but nobody'll…

If you're on the side of reproductive rights, then I hope you understand why the chirpy phrasing "simply adopt" might grate on someone. I'm glad you're clarifying a little more. To answer your question, both late-term abortion and live births seem fairly similar. By that point it's just about academic. That's why the…

Thank you for being open to facts and reality!

You really don't understand why late-term abortions are done, do you? You've got this idea in your head that abortions are the "easy out" for sluts who don't want to deal with a full pregnancy, and late-term abortions fit into the "easy out" category to you. But that's not how reality works. Late-term abortions are…

It's your body and you can do whatever you want with it, ultimately. Two things I would want to mention: First, surgery might not fix your discomfort with your body. I've got a "Barbie" myself and until very recently (with the labiaplasty news making the rounds) thought of my vulva as under-endowed and not nearly as…
