Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

“Never be cleaner" and "clean enough to rub all over my face" are two vastly different things. 

We went to a class for our first one, and they went around the room asking each couple about their birth plan. Most of them were “We’re going to try to go natural” with a few “We’re using a midwife in home and going natural”.

Let me clarify something here: “inserting a camera into the pelvic cavity” means having laparoscopic surgery. Currently, the only definitive way to diagnose endometriosis is to see it - to undergo surgery. A presumptive diagnosis is made purely on the patient’s report of pain and other symptoms. Painful periods, heavy…

This story is both graphic and Magary-esque. Those of you who know what I’m talking about have been warned.

“Peasants”, “Comrade”, “Cowards”... all good options.

I prefer gender neutral terms.

Amy Adams might win not just for her work this year, but as a consolation prize for not even being nominated for Arrival. She was brilliant in that film, and in my opinion was fucking robbed of an Oscar.

Joining the new Gawker should be viewed as the media equivalent of crossing a picket line.

Wait, are you implying that the Mormons might not have the best history when it comes to race?

But when they submitted the obituary—which would cost the family $1,684 to publish—to their local newspaper, the Louisville Courier-Journal...
