I agree. I have issues up the wazoo with my mother (and can actually relate to the dual personalities) but also, sometimes parents put on a brave face bc they don’t want the world to know their issues. Sometimes if you’ve fucked up as a kid they will be nice to you in front of others and then give you a piece of mind…

I’ll take them seriously the day they put forth legislation saying that the government can mandate that everyone has be typed for organ donation, and you have to donate bone marrow, a lobe of your liver, a kidney, etc if there is someone on a recipient list who is a match, and will die within the next 6 months without…

One big difference: The GOP is against abortion because Jesus. The Democrats that are against the death penalty take issue with how it is applied (unfairly) and how many innocent people have been killed for crimes they were cleared of after they were dead.

That would be Gerri Santoro, and the photograph is absolutely horrific. It became a symbol of the pro-choice movement when it was published in the 70s, and honestly, I think we need to start bringing it out again. It might help anti-choice politicians feel the tiniest flicker of empathy for the women whose bodily…

Whenever I bring that up, people are stunned. That fetus was not viable and they still kept her hooked up over the family’s objections. How many more women will suffer like Marlise Munoz? How many will die like Savita Halappanavar?

Yes, exactly! Anti-choicers don’t seem to care that banning abortion is just sweeping a whole lot of underlying problems under the rug. Besides the small failure rate of birth control, why do we have abortions? Because of poverty, because of our shameful state of parental leave and childcare, because of misinformation…

Whenever the notion of gun control comes up, the Right is very quick to point out that banning something doesn’t make it go away, it just means that people desperate enough will go through whatever means they need to obtain it.

I hate how people repeat the first fact though, like it’s an excuse to still operate. I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing, but I just really don’t like when people are like “ignore the abortions, they do so much good”. NEWSFLASH: Abortions are good.

Also- Most federal money going to Planned Parenthood is in the form of reimbursement for services rendered.

remember that case in Texas where doctors were ordered to keep a brain-dead woman alive because fetus - over the objections of her husband and family?

omfg women get so pissy when male chauvinist politicians want to make life or death decisions for them.

I think it’s like anytime a person finds something new and exciting. My friends sure got tired of me talking about Twin Peaks, dragging them up to Snoqualmie Falls to see the filming locations from the pilot, and forcing them to watch every other David Lynch movie. Then I got over the initial excitement, and I swear…

What a fucking strange thing to complain about. Always has to be something.

Of course they’re not! The Americans mostly plan on getting into heaven on the “I hated all the right people” ticket.

Kim Davis and her lawyer are lying liars who lie and the American Catholic Bishops don’t seem particuarly enamored with Francis, which makes this a perfect storm for bullshit.

Public Service Announcement: I’m going to need all you people who order bullshit coffee things like “iced half-caff” and “no caff but I want it to smell like coffee but put vanilla and chocolate in it” to STOP IMMEDIATELY. Some of us rely on coffee to make it through the day. All you recreational coffee users must…

NO.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh honey, Patch has been around since the 80’s. And obviously that’s not his real name. Just his nickname because he wears an.. eye patch.

I take offense to being mad about him talking in “Gay Voice”. I think it’s more offensive to not even attempt to speak to them in their own language!
