Same as someone who NEVER wants to be pregnant. Being forced to remain pregnant against your will can’t be “eased” with any amount of money in the world.

During the primaries he actually supported a pro-life Dem candidate for house. This candidate was one of the representatives that fought us on having better reproductive care covered under ACA. Pro-life candidates have no trouble passing Bernie’s progressive purity test.

I could believe that if he since the election hadn’t attacked Dem candidates that didn’t fall in line with his pet issues or didn’t support him in the primary. The fact that he does that only for this speaks volumes. Also, this isn’t the first time he has supported and unapologetically endorsed an anti-choice Dem. He…

Glad Brogressives cleared that up. My lady brain could never grasp how my economic status will improve when unwanted pregnancy prevents me from obtaining a higher education. As long as we have free college that Bernie wanted for us, women should have no more barriers, right? Abortion, paid leave, government funded…

There’s plenty of criticism against Tom as well but you’re ignoring that unlike Bernie, he doesn’t trash Democrats when they don’t fall in line on his pet issue. Bernie’s deep hypocrisy can’t be ignored. It shows he’s willing to throw choice under the bus for his pet issues.

That would be cool and all if it didn’t reek of hypocrisy. Would Bernie support a Dem that was cozy with wall street, or hell not even cozy with but just not as tough on wall street, with the same excuse? The answer is no, because we’ve seen that play out MANY times. So what does that show us? People who thought…

I have one friend who had to get rid of their dog because it hated their kid and was aggressive, and another who had to get rid of their cat because their kid was allergic.

Is that drive to procreate or have sex? There’s a difference. Sexual drive is indeed strong and I can get behind that. I have no drive to procreate.

Right! New born babies are. NOT. CUTE. Seeing one makes me want one of those full time even less.

While some people are likely asking out of curiosity rather than to be judgmental, I really feel that it’s asinine that many demand explanations.

Ahh yes I think it may be a midwest thing. I grew up in Michigan and worried about dudes being too baby crazy but having moved to the East Coast I don’t worry about it any more. There are certainly areas of East Coast where one would have to worry about finding a compatible partner as a child-free person and places on…

That’s pretty funny and I may use that if I ever find my self in the same situation. I wonder if that would’ve been enough to end the conversation had you stated you’re remaining child free because it’s your choice. I wonder because as a woman who doesn’t want kids, I deal with people questioning me on that and maybe…

Every case I’ve heard for the reason to have kids is selfish. Recently heard misogynistic case for it, that I as a woman had the duty to have children, because being born as a female means I must(men of course get to decide because they’re male). Otherwise it’s always, have kids to care for you in old age, have kids…

If that’s the case then it’s a problem that everyone was fine with it. It’s also a problem that Ohio’s legal age of consent is 16. None of that makes Godwin’s death less tragic.

Often people assume the person that is not seen grieving as having “handled it well.” When it generally isn’t normal to not grieve the tragic death of one’s mother.

The pastor of Daily Show isn’t the only example of that. I saw CNN and other print media discuss Hillary’s character for being cheated on and being married to a man who cheated on her and hardly anything raised about Trump’s infidelities. The few times I did, it was as if people held both HRC and Trump as having done…

It’s never appropriate to say a woman is “complicit” in being treated poorly by a man. No one wants to be treated poorly. In Pakistani community divorce comes with extra baggage that’s 100 times more difficult to shake off than it is otherwise. It’s really unfortunate that women are conditioned to fear divorce, even…

You won’t get a religious apologist in me, especially not for organized religion. I also can’t deny the support for and upholding of patriarchal gender roles among the irreligious and even prominent atheist voices though. The field of evo-psych which is often as senseless as religious mythology is tied to it as much a…
