IMO, he's that kid who will clearly become exceptionally handsome one day- it's like the young ladies are all just swooning over his potential self.

That's not what I'm saying at all, and frankly, that's an extreme characterization that is not at all conducive to a meaningful conversation. I've read all of your responses on this thread, and I get that you feel very strongly about this- as you should! The whole scenario is awful- but I think you're conflating the…

It is in English and it is grammatically correct.

I agree with you to some extent- I don't think their intention is protect bodily autonomy, but that's what they may end up doing, which is a great thing. How wonderful would it be if they really did "take their movement in a different direction and work to empower those women that actually want to have babies to go…

Word.

Really, I think this headline is all wrong and we're falling into the narrative fed to us by this "Center for Defense of Life."

But the thing is... she's not being stripped of her choice to carry to term. Her parents pressured her not to, but they did not nor could they legally force her to have an abortion. As the law stands, her parents could force her to carry to term by not allowing her to have an abortion if she wanted one. This is an…

It's totally believable, which just makes me think the "Defense of Life" group is making a mountain out of a molehill and throwing a young girl under the bus so they can score some nebulous political points. My point was that whole situation seems like a fairly standard disagreement between parents and a teenager,…

I'm with you- it's either a total hoax, or someone is putting the poor girl up to it. I'm sure there are instances of parents pressuring a child to do things against their will, including getting an abortion, but there's just so much about this that is fishy...

The only thing the media won't forgive/forget is gaining weight.

And sorry for the snark- I think with the other commenter, I was feeling a bit piled upon, but if two of you misunderstood what I meant, I must not have been clear. My bad, internet friend!

Ok- I see where this went off. I wasn't using the meme to comment on a capitalist society, nor was that the meme's original intention (at least not in the context I saw it in). I was responding to "There's something funny that happens in the human brain that makes us feel acute anxiety when it seems like everyone we…

Yes. I was clearly using this MS Painted facebook meme to promote corporate monopolies and communism.

You and me both, sister!

Ok- this is trite and overly simplistic, but I once saw a cheesy saying MS painted over a photograph of a lion and a sheep or something equally prey-like. The two animals were snuggling- I swear to gawd, actually snuggled up- on a comfy mat and seemed perfectly content to be bffs forever. The saying said "When…

The person who wrote this believes they are the smartest person in the room. They are almost never correct.

The point was about 2 miles back and on the left. You're gonna wanna take a U-turn at the next opportunity, because you missed it.

Who has a party, puts out food, and then expects no one to eat it? Someone introduce this young man to Emily Post!

It's pretty obvious we're talking about abortion because our right to have one is constantly under attack, unlike our right to give a child up for adoption. Also, adoption is often brought up by those who want to take away a woman's right to an abortion as an "alternative." No, adoption is not an alternative to…
