I understand that and agree with you. I’m just appalled that it’ll require so much collateral damage to sway their opinion on the matter. None of the state level governments will be able to handle the social and monetary costs of children born with microcephaly - yet it will all fall to them, considering that any…

So, these politicians want to force people to give birth, but not go on welfare, paid maternity leave, or raise the minimum wage. How do they think raising this child is going to be paid for? Also, they believe in “small government” and not having the government tell them how go live their lives. I will never…

I live in NY and I was shown an ultrasound before my abortion. It seemed routine and had zero effect on me. But I’m a heathen and a harlot. This - like every other pointless anti abortion effort - is yet another ridiculous waste of government time and resources. sigh.

I swear, what is the going theory? Women pee on a stick and if positive are immediately transported to a clinic before having a chance to decide what they want to do next?

when you vote GOP, this is what you’re voting for.

“We need the ultrasound to make sure it’s a human fetus in your womb and not just another one of them possums” you want an abortion because you know you will have a baby if you don’t! And I know this is just a barrier set up to reduce the total number of abortions and abortion providers but the logic of it has always…

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

I feel like this Bernie/Hillary debate is neither here nor there because whichever one of them wins, none of us are voting in the general for the dude who is going to appoint four more Scalias anyway. Still, the debate is incredibly interesting to me, if only in how it contrasts with where we were eight and 12 years…

This. It’s especially dangerous because it also fosters the “if they’re all bad, why bother voting?” apathy that’s already endemic. The last thing we need is less voter engagement.

Political change generally only happens when youthful idealism overpowers old cynicism—generally through numbers, as “the old” have a habit of dying.

Guys, guyssss, can we all just agree to vote together in the general no matter the primary outcome? This is really not an election we can lose.

i hear if you sleep with jeb! he’ll give you one of his 3 oatmeal sweaters

Now we need a final freeze frame of Davis getting punched by Anderson Cooper in America boxing trunks to end this movie perfectly.
