Before the idiots start in:

1) The First Amendment does not cover or protect harassment and threats.

I think if Twitter threats were being made via phone calls to your house, they would be taken at least somewhat more seriously, and law enforcement would have at least some reference point in how to deal with them. Why should this be any different, legally speaking?

This was brought up yesterday by my (somewhat) father-in-law. He mentioned that the alleged assault victim was going to file a civil lawsuit, and somehow after reminding us (my boyfriend and I) that Winston claimed it was consensual proceeded to call the young lady a slut. I literally lost my appetite as we were…

In addition to all of the ass assumption about women that the ultrasound laws demonstrate, I've always thought that part of the drive to make them mandetory was to drive up the cost of the procedure. In theory this would make poorer women less likely to go through with it and make insurance companies less likely to…

Off-topic alert! I really hate the fact that movies and other forms of art don't show abortion more often. Do you ever notice that whenever a woman has an unplanned pregnancy she either gets "lucky" and has a miscarriage or decides magically that she would be happy with a child? And whenever abortion is showcased it's…

Know why it doesn't sway women?

Really? You mean us crazy ladies make our minds up before we show up to the clinic? I figured we just walked into those places and said hey "I think I want one of those abortion thingys" on a whim... kinda like window shopping right? UGH Conservative anti-abortionists must live on another freaking planet >.<

I went hunting for my first ultrasound photo:

I saw that earlier today and recall feeling glad it was written by a woman with as much integrity as Helen Lewis. I'm not completely surprised but it's a very interesting development nonetheless, even though it cannot take away from the depth and intensity of online harrassment that Caroline Criado-Perez was subjected…

"When he inquired about job openings as a bearded contractor, the response rate jumped from 12 percent to 35 percent," according to Wired. That's triple the interest.

I love love love Jemima Kirke's look, she is BEAUTY incarnate to me.That being said I kinda would have liked a shorter slip dress on her, this one is a little too nightgowny for me.

No, you were supposed to PRETEND to like sports to nail down a man. Once you have nailed down said man, you're supposed to smile adoringly at him and his man-child friends while you bring them beer and wings! (Would you like a frilly apron to wear while you're serving them?)

You forgot childbirth. That's like DEFCON 10. 'Cause that's a whole 'nother level of poopage.

A lot of people who plan to be parents make their plans for a certain time. You go to a high school and ask how many want to be mothers, many will say "yes". Ask how many want to be teen mothers, the number of "yeses" goes down. People who plan pregnancies will usually plan them at a time when they'd be for a baby.…

Second that. I have a few friends who did the same. When I was 26 my roommate and her boyfriend found themselves pregnant very unexpectedly (she was told she was infertile while trying desperately to conceive with her ex husband...they divorced and she met this guy not too long after...everything happens for a reason,…

Tracy: do you realize that perhaps this article should not have been titled "Ten Advantages to an Unplanned Pregnancy," but rather "Ten Advantages to an Unplanned Pregnancy Accessible Mostly to Thirtysomething White Married Financially Stable Upwardly Mobile Apparently Relatively Mentally Stable (see #4 - sorry, some…

I totally feel you. I was in a pregnancy-scare sitch recently (false alarm) where I was seriously having to figure out what I would do if I was actually pregnant. My husband and are are late 20s, okay jobs, and I think that I would genuinely enjoy parenting. The older and more established I get, the less comfortable…

Please don't second-guess your decision. I'm 29, married, and married and have a great job. We both want to have kids in the future, but we're not financially or emotionally ready. My husband and I both agree that if I accidentally get pregnant before we're ready I will probably get an abortion.

I love your name too. I could read an entire book about Daenerys. Cupcakes for everyone :)

This is definitely behaviour I would expect from someone named Jedediah Stout.
