“It is not right or necessary to kill the baby to save the mother,”Yeah brilliant idea, if the mother is in that serious condition I doubt the embryo is doing much better. And even if it did, hey kid, you killed your Mom! All of this absolutely awful and shows how little shits these people give about women. This guy…

NNo one aborts full term fetuses. Your secret is out, you're here in bad faith.

You cant (legally, but also morally shouldnt) force someone to donate blood, to save the lives of living sentient humans.

You’re making all the same arguments as the “pro-life;” are you sure you’re pro-choice?

Let’s break this down: fetuses are not babies. Pro-choice does not equal “pro-abortion;” thinking that a person should be able to have an abortion for no reason other than “they want to” is not the same as advocating for them to…

I was kind of confused about the full term abortion thing. That would just be inducing labour, right...? 

Oof. I’m replying even though all of my sensibilities tell me to not even bother.

Well, you’ve certainly given me new-found enthusiasm for advocating free abortion on demand as an absolute right, so thanks for that. It seems like you’re at least trying to be even-handed and thoughtful here, and this all sure sounds nice in the abstract. (Why can’t we just BALANCE the rights of the fetus and the…

Nope, he was totally normal, typical grandpa sort of guy. Of course hindsight being perfect, my husband realized that the first step he took with our son was something he’d done with my husband also: Showing him porn (my husband, to be fair, was 15-ish I think, and it was justified as a form of giving him “the talk”).

You never truly feel Autumn in the South. It goes from Summer, to Mega-Summer, to Satan’s Asshole, to IcyHot warm, to rainy and yucky with occasional low temperatures.

Perimenopause is great, really great. Fatigue, hot flashes, gyno pains, wait gain, mood swings, ... I’d say welcome to the club, but I’m not a sadist. 

We discovered two years ago that my husband’s step-father was grooming our son. He had been doing all kinds of awful things in clear escalation of grossness, clearly prepping him for the worst kinds of sexual abuse. Our son told us he’d (among many other things) been taking pics of him while he was changing clothes.…

I feel you... I *attempted* to work from home with my partner (who is full time remote) on Friday just to realize they’ve hoarder’d the office up so bad that the only floor space you could see was a small pathway leading to their desk. Then it was the kid’s room... then their second playroom... and their third (every…

At the same time, the powers-that-be have no problem using it as an excuse to weaken privacy protections or to reduce access to security tools for the overwhelming majority of users who are not now, and never will be, a threat.

I prefer Fall Cleaning to Spring cleaning. However, the best kind of cleaning is the kind I don’t overwhelm myself by thinking about the perfect way to execute it.

This. The air is humid, the temperature is rising to the 90s (again), and every colorful fake fall leaf decorating the Halloween candy aisle is a cruel taunt that will cause me to break sooner rather than later.

Then those senators need to be kicked the fuck out of office and replaced with people who will actually do something.

I read this article and it makes me want to die.

Sure. Once it gets below NINETY DEGREES... (We’re supposed to get a cool front later this week, but I’ve been burned before.)

Spent all Saturday cleaning. Had family over for Rosh Hashanah, including several young kids, house is completely fucked now. I tried.

I really hope at some point progressives realize that portraying Franken as a victim of the #metoo movement is NOT the hill they want to die on.
