Her position on abortion has no bearing on how awful the school is treating her based on a misplaced sense of righteousness.

I mean, if she doesn’t believe, I will say she’s at least walking the walk (just not at graduation.)

Actually, the original story (I think I read it from a local affiliate?) states that she deeply considered an abortion. But after her family was incredibly supportive about the situation, she decided against it.

Thank you, from a fellow raised very religious. I hate when we go after teenagers. Give her a chance to develop outside her community, ffs. Poor thing is also going through an extremely stressful time, in which humans typically fall back on their belief systems and cling. Yelling at her, a frightened young woman who…

I’d like to think it’s the brainwashing she’s received since being born. While teenagers usually know right from wrong in most cases, it can take a bit of time to cast off 17/18 years of enthusiastic religious indoctrination.

And some people even get to have abortions without everybody knowing their private medical business and need to be forgiven for nothing. Imagine!

She’s 18 and has clearly lived a life surrounded by ardent antichoicers. I think she deserves a little slack. And a lot better education.

“Some pro-life people are against the killing of unborn babies, but they won’t speak out in support of the girl who chooses to keep her baby,” Runkles said. “Honestly, that makes me feel like maybe the abortion would have been better. Then they would have just forgiven me, rather than deal with this visible…

To me I feel like women can’t win either way, and this proves that anti-choicers really just want to shame women for having sex.

I was raised very religious and it takes a long time to get over that kind of brainwashing. I don’t love the fact that she’s anti-choice… But maybe these events will make her realize the hypocrisy of pro-lifers. Once she has that kid… Ain’t none of them supporting her.

Is this that guy that Garth Brooks pretended to be on that one album?

Not as bad as River Phoenix.

Glob, this makes me miss Jennifer Grey’s old nose.

And I’d argue that may be because they used people who’d done broadway: Kristin, Ariana, Jennifer, Harvey. That and The Wiz are ones that actually got some broadway talent and they were the two, that I think, did the best.

This is my same argument for all the live tv musicals they’ve been doing. You have ALLLLL of broadway to choose from. You can’t argue that you chose Breslin for her big name draw, because...no, so what’s the excuse for choosing her. If tv insists on doing live musicals or remaking shit like this, get actual…

i think one of the things that angers me/shocks me/saddens me the most about trumps presidency is that if Obama had been accused of any of the daily shit we find out about trump, he would be in handcuffs and impeached immediately. yet trump supporters/republicans defend trump and basically say “nothing to see here,…

I cannot read this any way other than ‘If you want to fuck with me, bring your A minus game’ which I find delightful.

But I’d want to kill them both.
