Young, minority, who can’t afford legal counsel. Guess Texas is telegraphing exactly who it is they want to bring to heel with their anti-abortion laws.

His comment isn't even worth a reply. Disgusting. 

Responsible how? Using birth control that’s not 100% effective. Not having birth control during a rape? Or taking responsibility for a child the government forced on me by the government? Not sure what your comment is implying.

That’s what she gets!

This woman had sex outside of a sanctified, christian marriage AND without the express written consent of Greg Abbott.

This is why you can’t be in charge of your own wombs!

(/s in case anyone...)

Man I’d really like to get hold of the nurse (and you KNOW it was a nurse) who listened to the miscarrying woman pour out her tale of woe and then just about broke her neck getting to a phone. Someone needs a little discussion about responsible medical care, and maybe a slap for good measure.

If those hospital staff did indeed report her to the authorities, they and the hospital need an enormous HIPAA investigation mounted against them, and whoever was involved in it need to have their licenses permanently revoked.  

It’s well beyond time that we start demanding economic sanctions against states that pull shit like this. 

Ew Jesus Christ. That should be a picture of a dude with his three grandkids.

Rather obvious on who was the driving force to keep the marriage age limits out of that Tennessee bill. The thing is all the voters in his district all knew about this and still voted him in.

I keep saying it and saying it and saying it, but for years trans people were trying to remind our peers in the LGBT community that they needed to care about the “T” because this wasn’t gonna start and end with us. I’m proud that a lot of people I do know in the LGBT community have worked through their transphobia and…

It’s almost as if we need to codify these fundamental rights instead of relying on the Supreme Court. 

A lawyer for that delightful web designer contacted me to see if I’d write a “friend of the court” brief arguing how awful it would be for the government to force a creative person to create something that violated their beliefs. I sent a very polite “fuck you, your religion isn’t a license to discriminate as a…

I think the insanity was more about the (extremely formal) circumstances/venue. If Will had been drinking in a bar somewhere and a guy mocked his wife’s appearance, and Will hauled off and smacked him, that would practically be considered business as usual.

I’m still in awe at how insane everyone went about this.

As a trans person I’d really love to know why cisgender people are absolutely OBSESSED with genitals. What the fuck

I mean the alternative is us eating them, so paying taxes on a yacht seems fair in that context.

I don’t think it makes sense to look at this thing’s features, we need to actually look at how it is being used. Is it constantly docked, and somebody lives in there? It’s a house. Does it move around a lot and is only docked temporarily, and nobody lives in there when it’s docked? It’s a boat.

Membership for living in this country requires everyone to pay an amount to keep a certain standard of living. Do you like roads? Living in an area of the country where there are too many dirt roads, I can tell you that is not a solution, and even then they need upkeep.

Sounds good to me.

Just go after them with full maritime law then. I assume fire suppression, crew training, emergency measures, etc. are not up to snuff.
