Dear whomever is in charge of internet cat health, please do not ever take Lil Bub from us.  I will not be able to recover.  

Some of them are also straight up crazy. A friend of mine had an abortion a few weeks ago, and has no regrets. Her mother, however, "would have preferred her become a meth addict" to getting an abortion. I don't see the logic there, but I suspect that's because there is none.

I was thinking that they are going to have to build more prisons to house a generation of women.

To protect women, elect women.

‘But the Bible’ is NEVER a good reason for ANYTHING unless you’re a fucking moron.

#youdontownme or #youcantcontrolme would have been a better hashtag

Please tell me you didn’t ungrey MrCrumley.

I live in MO and when writing my legislators, I’ve been stressing the negative economic impact the abortion ban will have. I know they don’t give 2 fucks about women dying 

And the research doesn't support that. Most women are relieved not sad

This exactly. All the personal stories in the world won’t change their minds. It’s not just about control, it’s also very much about punishment, and about secular law beholden to their religious nuttery.

Yep. It doesn’t matter because they’re not listening. We’re not human beings, we’re background noise.

You’re right. It’s 100% ok to hold personal views against abortion care and not choose abortion care for yourself. People also hold opposing views when it comes to consuming alcohol, divorce, etc. I can also imagine that if you are one of those people, abortion care is a personally painful topic to contemplate. But…

100%. They keep pushing the abortion thing not because they actually give a fuck about life - if they cared about life they would be working towards free daycare, better funding for schools, gun control, universal healthcare, etc. - but because it gets the idiots who really do buy the “poor babies!” rhetoric to get…

I’m currently annoyed with people who talk about abortion like there’s only one way to experience it and if you weren’t sad or crying then you’re a monster. It piles on even more stigma to an already highly stigmatized thing and implies that only people who are very sad and somber are deserving of the service. Over…

Any appeal to empathy directed at the right is a waste of time. I don’t feel that sharing these stories is a waste of time, but expecting the right to grow a sense of empathy over it is.

What this outpouring of abortion stories has highlighted is the yawning gap between the power of narrative and how little actual power we wield, a gap that can only be narrowed through collective action.

Controlling women (and silencing them by branding them felons and taking away their voting rights and ability to work), and funneling their offspring through the poverty cycle and into for-profit prisons.

Not to mention the final straw for Dany going full bitches be crazy being rejected by her boyfriend.  

I dated online after my divorce and ended up meeting the love of my life. There’s hope.

Who would go near this woman? I’m not even talking about the 8 kids, but her personality. I didn’t watch her show, but I got a snapshot of her by reading Dirt Bag and it wasn’t a pretty picture.
