The worst part of a colonoscopy is the prep. Back in the dark ages when my dad had to get them regularly he use to just put the TV in the bathroom for the day.  These days at least we have our phones to keep us company

The world shouldn’t be run by people too old to live with the consequences of the decisions they make.

100% wrong. Medically it is absolutely considered a pregnancy. If my patient has had an ectopic pregnancy, and I was asked if my patient had ever been pregnant before, the ONLY correct medical answer would be YES. Being even more pedantic, the shorthand docs use is “G” (For gravida-i.e. pregnancies) and “P” (for…

As I understand it, pregnancy begins when the egg gets fertilized (especially if you ask these morons, who want pregnancy to begin when a man has a slightly sexy thought). Ectopic pregnancy is a fertilized egg stuck in a fallopian tube, growing and growing just like an implanted egg, so explain how it’s not pregnancy?…

Ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy, no sarcastic quotations needed. That ZEF will latch on and continue to replicate and expand on any hospitable tissue or environment— it does not discriminate, nor is it cognizant that it is the spawn of an unviable pregnancy.

This is what continually gets me - we are told that ONLY cops are able to perform tasks with a degree of danger involved, but then when they refuse to do the thing they are literally trained (and armed) to do, we are reminded that said situations are dangerous.

These departments have oodles of funding and ample…

Ironically, if she proves her case, his lie under color of his authority as A.G. might also be a valid grounds to seek his disbarment from the practice of law, which would be the just resolution of this story. There are stringent ethical requirements every attorney must abide by, and I wouldn’t be surprised if…

I hope she wins and hurts that hateful fuck.

Apparently, the description of the man given by neighbors matched the description of the man who police thought lived at the home.

And for the therapy and other aftercare too.

AS the saying goes, for every hot person out there, there’s someone sick of fucking them

“...we don’t think we should devalue the life of the baby because of the sins of the father.”

So what’s the plan, exactly? How would the pro-life movement fight for her dignity and support her so the “benefits” of continuing the pregnancy become apparent? Is the plan for a child to raise a child? Or is the plan to force her to give birth and then steal the baby and adopt it out? What happens when the mother…

Imagine being so fanatically devoted to controlling women’s bodies that a 5th grader’s health and future become acceptable as collateral damage. These people are fucking depraved.

It’s so rare, it only happens once a week in Ohio.

rape is not a violent crime to republicans. its a property crime.  single women cant be raped, they hadnt been claimed yet.  in their eyes, the only victim is the husband whose property was damaged.  everything else they do flows from that concept

If you think anything within the political machine has threatened their power you have no idea how fucked things are. They police themselves, they decide the legislation, they decide the court’s views, and they are the ones who decide what gets enforced and who enforces it. Republican states are gerrymandered to hell,…

Please don’t forget Megan McArdle’s horrifically bad take yesterday on Twitter.

Yeh, my understanding is that slut-shaming is like... calling a woman a slut / saying she has less “value” because she chooses to flaunt / use her sexuality in a way that someone finds objectionable. I don’t think it’s “slut-shaming” Quiet to say that the disembodied camera bouncing between her taint and her boobs is…

Yes, in-universe that might be true, but in the real world they look like conventionally-attractive female humans.  It’s obvious what Bioware was going for.
