Agreed. Particularly violating was the revelation of the current names. Previously I've always heard their children referred to by their childhood names, affording them anonymity (if desired) in adulthood.

It's a little strange to read the public bios of a group of mostly-private citizens. Other than Ronan, none of these adults has chosen a public life. Sure, they were raised by a group of celebrities, but their lives are their own now and I think they should have a great deal of agency in deciding to parade their life

Totally agreed. Children aren't collectibles that you hoard for the sake of having, dammit.

Oh my goodness, Lark's story.

And that's why many of us believe Moses.

Mia's treatment of Soon-Yi is seriously disturbing and messed up. I didn't know that she said half those things about her daughter, but good grief, I can't even imagine how many levels of fucked up you have to be to say these kind of things in public. Shame on her. I hope she was a better mother to the rest.

She is 6'3" and not afraid to wear heels.

She is terrifying in a way that makes me feel funny in my pants.

Oh my. What happened to Bran? Jeez, that's sad.

Nope: Not gonna slam their mascot with a skeleton like Izzy in our own closet!

The last Russian Olympic mascot was SOOOO cute!!! Presenting...Misha!! My grandfather was at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow and brought some wood engravings of Misha back. (This is just a picture of Misha below, not the engravings).

Why are you advocating punitive measures for people who have done nothing wrong? Abortion is a consequence. Even for those who are firmly pro-choice and are certain of their decision, it's still a difficult event to face. No one would rather have an abortion than not be pregnant.

Cause let's face it. We're killing small babies here.

The reason they are getting an abortion is that they know a baby will come out of them eventually if they do not. Therefore, this education is irrelevant. They know what is growing inside them and the reason for an abortion is to stop that. Your proposal only makes sense to someone who is already pro-life.

How about no. Consequences for legal acts doesn't even make sense. Why should someone be punished for doing something legal? Mandatory classes + forced therapy + community service.. sounds an like what a lot of people are sentenced to do after they commit crimes.
Also, not everyone who has an abortion is traumatized.

Guess what? I had a nice safe legal abortion and I was not traumatized in any way and I know many other people who feel the same. But I would never claim that some people are not traumatized, because some are. However, you are claiming that everyone is traumatized and that is not true. As with all life

No. Just no. Please tell me why women need to feel guilty for having an abortion? There is no reason beyond wanting to force a certain set of ideals on women. What about the fathers? Do they have to serve the community? What about women who get abortions for medical reasons or because of incest or rape? Who gets to

Yes, it's called a safe, legal abortion conducted by a trained medical provider.

Many women in my family had illegal abortions decades ago. Their horror stories were what fed my rabid fear of pregnancy and abortion throughout my teenage and young adult years. Now that I'm older, in a great relationship and am a new mother, their horror stories feed my rabid desire to be as vocal as possible about
