I think every person who has ever voted to restrict abortion rights should be handed an unwanted child on the way out of the voting booth. Let's see how well they enjoy forced parentage.

How about people who decide to keep the kid to be given a class on the financial and physical costs of pregnancy and parenting - just so they can be fully informed, ya know, before they keep the pregnancy. Also, a parenting class, because lives are important and the state-enforced information by Texas Jack-offALopes…

More of the shocking wave of White on White crime. Hopefully the cooler weather will end this thuggish behavior.

This reminds me of the time I made a placard that said, "How many children have YOU adopted?" and stood next to the PP protestors here. They don't like it when you ask them that question.


Can we get a bill that requires men seeking viagra prescriptions to watch a 3 hour video about abstinence?

Did the 70s have something against using actual photographs for things? Between this and the 70s version of "Joy of Sex," there is a hell of a lot of pencil drawing going on.

Seriously? No. He isn't gay friendly. This is the same man who said gay adoption was child abuse.

Or you could mind your own fucking business. If it's not your body, your spouse's body, or a dependent's body it is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS. How hard is that to understand?

I'm fat. Not stupid. You're not magically smarter than me just because you have a lower BMI than I do. FAT PEOPLE REALIZE HOW UNHEALTHY BEING FAT IS. We're aware. We fucking know. We owe no excuses to thin people, and we owe no explanations. Our health is none of your fucking business. Leave us alone.

The problem isn't that you aren't enumerating all known transgressions of all religions. The problem is that you're demanding immunity from criticism for the religion(s) you prefer, ostensibly on the basis that it's rude or offensive to believers to do so, and then immediately criticizing one religion that you don't…

I am heartened, however, by your round-about insinuation that my opinion has any bearing on how people go about their day or the opinions they hold.

I don't see why Scientology gets called out. Honestly, I don't find it any more silly than every other religion, and the people who believe in it are just as real as everyone else and still can have their feelings hurt by people joking about them. When it comes to religious jokes its all or nothing.

Unless it's Scientology. It's open season and hunting's good. Go to town on those ass-clowns.

I have the same reactions when one of my guy friends says this to me. "I didn't really believe in feminism until I had a daughter!"

Born in the 70s? Excuse me, but Gen X goes back to 1965. Those of us born in the middle and end of the 60s are not Boomers. My parents were born in 1946, they are Boomers.

That toy with the yellow hat... I can't stop laughing.

tl;dr

Something about these "let me tell you all about childbirth and babies, it's going to be OK " articles annoys me. Part of it is the impatience I feel because childbirth is such a mundane, (near-)universal fact of life, and a gazillion women before have done it, and a gazillion women after will do it. It's not that…

I went through a period of depression after birth because I bought the last one hook line and sinker. People told me to expect this transformative, all-over feeling of "nothing ever being the same again." And it didn't happen - at least not very fast. I had the baby and was shocked at how...very much the same I felt.…

Ok, time for my rant. I HATE HOOTERS. At least strip clubs are honest in their use of women to make a buck. Everyone knows why they're there; there's no pretending. Women choose to use their assets to make some cash, management makes money, guys are there to leer and drink.
