I just watched this for the first time recently and it’s a charming movie but really it made me feel like there wasn’t enough Stockard Channing and Dianne West. I’d watch a series following each generation of women in different episodes.

I’m pretty sure we’d all contribute to help you pay that fine, because this is straight up bullshit. Women are given no bodily autonomy, up to the point of control of nude photos that were conditional of the relationship?!?

Yep. I would hand over a file that was entirely a black box except for the writing. Or I would have the photographer cover the entire image save for the words with pictures of diseased penises or something. Make it something the ex-husband is ashamed or embarassed to have. The court order said it had to be digitally…

I’m certifiably not an incel and a regular around here.

There are times in your life that you lie and carry that lie to the grave. Tell no one that you destroyed it.

That would have been the first thing I shredded. The guy is a vindictive controlling SOB. If I hadn't shredded the book I would have lied to the judge and taken control of the situation.

Not surprised it’s in Utah. I grew up there and if they could ban sex completely, they would.

Good job ‘Murica.

“...we don’t think we should devalue the life of the baby because of the sins of the father.”

Agreed. Part of me misses when they had to lie about this kind of stuff and pretend to support exceptions for rape and incest, because then I could pretend that there weren’t really that many utterly horrible people in this country to vote them in. Simpler days. It’s almost exactly ten years ago now that Todd Akin…

The infuriating part is this “the violence of rape will not be cured by the violence of abortion.”  Uh, yeah.  No one is claiming that the abortion makes it all go away, you f*cks.  It’s just one way to not add to the trauma. 

Imagine being so fanatically devoted to controlling women’s bodies that a 5th grader’s health and future become acceptable as collateral damage. These people are fucking depraved.

We’re in “dog that caught the car” territory with the GOP.

He is my governor too. Unfortunately. I realized after watching those daily press conferences during the pandemic, he said and did very little. But he often said about any mandated precaution, “we can’t tell people what to do, we have to trust them to do the right thing”. (Classic from the conservative handbook,)

That’s the thing. They KNOW they are full of shit. The “more police” thing is a deflection. They can do it because they know their own voters are dumb as fucking rocks and will believe it, for no other reason, because they want to believe it.

It’s important that the press directly confront him about it, ideally they wouldn’t let him mumble and dodge out of it, but if he's not going to directly say "this is how the law is intended to work, and how it will work for the next child " or "eh I guess we should at least make a child incest exception " ...there's…

This is what happens when people who make laws commit to disregarding the real-world effects of those laws. It’s all about political and moral “purity” (“we must ban this bad thing to separate ourselves from us, even if in the process we cause more harm”) — which is bad enough in anyone, but even worse when it’s in…

This dick is unfortunately my governor. He’s got like 8 kids and a bazillion grandkids. I think he’s Catholic? Either way, he is obsessed with women having the most babies possible no matter the cost.

So if you weren’t a dad or grandfather, you’d be a-okay with what’s going on?
