So I don’t know personally what it’s like, but I’ve had 3 women I was very close to tell me about their abortions. One had a medical, one had a surgical (In the 70s), and one had had one of each. Both friends who chose medical abortions told me that it was painful and like having cramps and a stomach bug at the same…

I feel like Bobby Gentry doesn’t get enough credit for being amazing

That. Pantsuit.

To this very day I know all of the words to the theme song. No ragrets. Sorry not sorry.

This is....not a flattering image, true....they look like they are carefully arranging their human suits into a suitable human looking facial expression.

Exactly. His kid’s death was like a bomb in his family. It destroyed his marriage, and changed him forever. I’m not saying miscarriages aren’t devastating; they are a loss of hope and love and plans for the future and I’m sure a million other things I’ll never understand, and I support anyone grieving in whatever way…

I’m sure my opinion on all this is invalid because I’m a heartless woman who doesn’t want children, but, I have family and friends who have had miscarriages, and I have a friend who lost a child in an accident. A child he’d taken to soccer practice, and taught to read, and talked to across the dinner table every night…

Why doesn’t some group go into one of these religious family planning clinics and video tape them lying through their asses for real?

I have to agree with 1llamarampage; the kindest thing would have been to take the dog to the vet to put him down themselves. I understand how hard that is, and I don’t blame the author for not doing it. But considering the author obviously put a lot of work into trying to retrain the dog, Cheddar seemed beyond help or…

Switch that around and it becomes Hump-Truck. And that’s funny because i’m 12 mentally.

I also had two great-aunts who ended up in a state asylum (like, frmo the 1920s till death—one of them lived until the 2000s!), and I have always, always wondered if their “insanity” wasn’t really something else entirely.

This story makes me wonder how many women in insane asylums in those days were really just rape victims.

That’s so funny! My cousin’s husband’s brother just made $5,000 in one hour working from home for Google!

Argh, I hate the way people treat fish as disposable. Bettas need at least 2-3 gallons and a filter, if you don’t have live plants. Goldfish can live for 5+ years if you take care of them right (they produce a lot of ammonia and need a good filter and plenty of space).

Nope. As I recall, the non-crazy-wingnut host dad rightly told her that there was no way he was going to let her pull that bullshit with his daughters. :)

My grandmother sent out the most amazing email just gushing about how happy she was that the U.S. got it right this week and upheld Obamacare AND NOW EVERYONE IS EXTENDED MARRIAGE EQUALITY (Caps emphasis hers.) She sent this email to EVERYONE she knows. I’ve never been prouder to be her granddaughter. She’s awesome.
