Maybe women should mail them to their legislators.

Actually, mister smarty-pants, fertilized eggs that do not complete implantation frequently pass with menstruation and the shedding of the rest of the uterine lining, however they are rarely noticed because there isn’t much to notice! The reason humans menstruate is actually because the body is fairly choosey about…

A turd with jazz hands.

Oh honey, you’re the one who’s not good at science. When I miscarried at 6 weeks, all it was was a heavy period. So yes, all I used was tampons and pads. Would I have to bury my maxi pads?

Plenty of periods include embryonic tissue, as a very high percentage (30 to 50%) of fertilized eggs fail at the early implantation stage, and are flushed out with the normal period.

Exactly! I'm 21 weeks and if something happened I would absolutely donate.

FUCK. THIS. GUY. RIGHT. IN. HIS. EAR.

Is there a third option? I literally have no idea what this is.

As someone suggested in the last Jez story on this topic, maybe it’s time to start sending these legislators used pads and tampons, because embryonic tissue.

STAR (since kinja is kinja-ing).

I’m so sad for Lady Mary. I can’t even imagine how heartbreaking it is to lose someone at the beginning of a life you’re planning together. Fuck cancer.

I just went to Wiki, determined to prove that there is no way Katy Perry was a kid when Harry Potter came out. I am wrong, and Old.

My husbands stepmom made her grandchildren burn their copies of HP. It was so devestating because they weren’t academically inclined and those were the first books they were excited to read. People get away with this kind of child abuse but they really fucking shouldn’t.

The new mission on Kinja seems to be to dilute every site’s individual voice into a thousand indistinct mumbles.

Every time an article from Jez gets cross-posted on Gawker, I wake up to hundreds of awful comments. I dismiss them, but the reminder of how angry/offended people get about something as innocuous as say, Ina Garten, is enough that if Jez does get folded into Gawker, I will no longer be commenting.

Kids aren't born like this. You make them like this.

So io9 and Gizmodo just merged after months of many stories being cross-posted between them per day.

If smug had a smell, he would reek of it. Rotten little shit.

Gee, I can’t imagine why not giving any real consequences to a kid who’s never had any real consequences wouldn’t work.

Aw, I liked Macklemore’s Downtown. I am required to. They filmed the video in my shitty town (Spokane represent!) and everyone here knows someone that was in the video. Plus it’s funny.
