Canada's common-sense and humane attitude toward abortion is one of the things I miss most about living there. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. It's too bad America pretends y'all don't exist and studiously, willfully ignores your sterling example regarding women's rights as we career pell-mell toward Sharia law.

Oh, okay. That explains everything. Except it doesn't. Being an asshole in the name of trying to "help" women is so patronizing and condescending I don't even know where to begin with it. The worst part is that he thinks that if a woman gets offended at him for being such a sexist douchebomb, it's all her fault. He…

Yeah, because just saying no to sex when there's a risk of pregnancy has been shown to work oh, so very well. Oh wait.

Have you looked at Anna Akhmatova? Or Sappho?

Hard to believe he's still single. Snap him up quick, ladies!

I seriously thought this was a Red Dwarf reference as in "You're not one of those boring MASCULINISTS, are you?"

That's just the worst stage there, I know! I'm old, so don't know—are banana clips and haircombs still hugely bad ideas? Because I love nice haircombs. If you can French braid, that's a classic look that doesn't seem to care what your layers look like. Your hair also might be long enough to get away with a hairstick…

IT GETS BETTER. First recognize that, okay? One of the great blessings about life is that while yes, good things end, so do bad things. This is just one of those bad things and it will not be this way forever. If you have a job, you probably have access to an Employee Assistance Line or something similar (look at your…

Wow, that's just breathtaking! It's got to be scary. Many good wishes from my much-less-snowy part of the country. Whatever happens, I trust you to make the best decisions *for you and your family* that you can and I support you. Stay warm...

You know, if that's Obama's goal, I think he's got a good idea there. I wonder if he's just hoping to goad the RCC into having a moment like that one Filo caught on tape on that old movie, "UHF". "Women's rights are just a festering pile of dog snot!" and we'd all go Z__O__M__G and realize what idiots we were for…

This was awesome.

That's why I speak up whenever someone mentions abortion. It's a private decision. I should never need to speak up about having had one. But that's the world we live in.

Medusa, I know this is really off topic, but I really hope you'll be okay. That's some serious shit there. I'm just a random internet stranger, but I care and I want you to be all right and wish you all the best regardless of what you do about the pregnancy.

TVU is painful and completely unnecessary. We do not need them to tell how old a fetus is and they are not required in the course of a normal abortion. And guess who gets to pay for them? And guess what perfectly legal procedure is put off even longer when women must assemble the money and time to get the TVU, then…

Wait, your username is "EndCoercedCharity" and your post is about how you want to coerce women into thinking of a fetus the same way you think of it?

Good news: you're totally wrong on all points and have been manipulated by some of the most evil, callous assholes on the planet through wordgames and cognitive biases/logical fallacies. So now you can move toward loving people and not hating them and wanting to control them.

This must be kind of recent. When I was in high school in Texas (public school all the way), we learned about the basic mechanics and about birth control. I think we even found out about orgasms. Nobody mentioned that condoms didn't work or any of that other bullshit. That was a long time ago though. Oh, and there was…

When did Henry Rollins turn into one of the sexiest male allies ever? I'm hooked on this guy suddenly. I hope he keeps writing these columns.

I don't mind, you can single me out. :) It's okay to feel unsettled about your abortion. There are as many reactions to abortion as there are women and that is okay. Hell, a lot of abortions are done for therapeutic reasons and I know the women getting them are devastated. I hope you understand that a lot of this…

Of course I care about the fabric of society getting torn asunder by women having sex without consequences. I'm looking forward to it, actually.
