I understand that too, really. Yet, I'm still so enraged with her because she wasn't protecting him. She was actually hurting him. In the article it is stated that she was somewhat shocked that Adam tied his own shoes while out on a hike with his dad when he was an older child. Why would she not have him tie his own…

I had an entire module in grad school on Victoria Woodhull. Women's college, of course. :P

I never thought I'd see something whiter than criminal motorcycle gangs, but here we are.

Yep. It's never about abortion access, per se. It's about poor women's abortion access. Because affluent women will always be able to get an abortion.

Maybe because the problem you're describing isn't about abortion itself, but about disproportionate rates of poverty amongst black women, a lack of access to education, healthcare and birth control, and few resources once you do give birth - all things that "urban black leadership" address repeatedly. But I'm sure…

Who is this "majority of urban black leadership" that is watching abortions? Who exactly are you talking about? And how do you "stop" one race of people from having abortions? Why is it anyone's business who has abortions, or why? Do you know what an epidemic is? Legal, safe medical procedures can not be…

WHO'S GUARDING THE BRIDGE!???

This is my new rescue wiener, Lucy. She's 5, and I've had her for 7 months today! This is a picture of her with her favorite stuffed uterus doll. Ironic, as she was a puppy mill mom.

Surprise livestock is always my go-to gift.

It is a real story. I lived in an orphanage (big surprise, it was in the deep South) between the ages of 12-15. It's still running and it is the subject of one of my books. I wouldn't mind writing an article for GroupThink or the Powder Room, but I don't know how that works.

You're, uh, supposed to clean those? Shit.

Yes, I've just come back from a quick look on the web. I'm astounded. Truly astounded, that the FDA let this through without at least a nod to abuse reduction (for example the newer OxyContin formulation.)

Because different people react to different drugs better or worse. Because terminal patients in huge amounts of pain can build resistances to some drugs and so different drugs are needed.

Old White Apoplexy is the name of my next band....

What a complete cloaca of a human being.

No. People who avoid taxes and use extraodinary efforts to do so (and declaring yourself a church is an extraordinary measure in my not so humble opinion) is exactly the opposite of being a productive member of society.

If ever even had the IDEA to tell my father I would never speak to him again unless he bought me something/took me somewhere...
