Because our government could not be assed to do so themselves.

I will never understand why it’s ok for a religion to run a fucking hospital.

FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK YOU!!!FUCK…

I am Catholic. I was raised in the Church, received all my sacraments (including marriage) in the Church from my priest uncle, and can belt out at least 2 dozen Gather hymnal jams from memory. Under no circumstances will I seek treatment at a Catholic hospital when I am someday pregnant. God gave me my body and He…

Yes, I miscarried at around 10 weeks. It was like a very heavy & painful period with more tissue, but it was all flushed down the toilet and then dealt with like a regular period.

sorry. I guess the grossness should be directed at Abbot himself. If I were in Texas, I would have taken an old bloody pad with me to him, lay it open before him and asked if he would say a prayer and bless it for me so I could then give it a dignified service. Maybe he could lay hands on it, too. Just for good…

I try and mention this here in the comments every time one of these articles pops up - If you’re an avid Amazon user make sure you sign up for Amazon Smile and they will donate a portion (a very small one but it all adds up!) of your purchases to the organization of your choice. I live in MA but mine all goes to PP of…

i don’t understand the public school law...like, do they think the doctors are gonna get confused and try to abort a kindergartner?!?!

I guess if someone’s already been sentenced to death for murdering their own kid, it seems superfluous to charge him with any attempted murders.

“Halloween is a horror and it shouldn’t be a horror,”

Yeah, “tainted” isn’t really up for debate. That is straight up bigotry.

Way back in olden times (the 70's) white me fell in love with a black guy. We went steady, as it was quaintly put, through high school.This was a shock to my suburban school. I can still remember male friends advising me earnestly that I would have to disclose the fact to any and all future men I might date, so they…

Not just white males. My brown male is the same. He would leave in a heartbeat if he ever so much as thought I’d ever slept with a black man.

Ask yourself why you feel it’s ok to remain friends with this person. This type of thing is why Trump got this far—if you still hang out with this person, you are tacitly accepting his racism.

It’s a thing with white women too. I have a friend who is a fun guy to hang around with but we disagree on most topics who has said out loud that if a girl has slept with a black guy then she’s is now tainted. Like bro what the fuck?

It’s often a thing in M/M relationships too.

It really can’t be understated how much American racism involves discomfort and obsession with black penises. From their being a constant target in lynchings (castrated and kept as keepsakes) to the protection of white women as potential targets of black men to white men’s discomfort with engaging in relationships…

This Victoria’s Secret Angels outtake photo is one way to respond, but I don’t know if it’s quite right.

Brittany and her mother might have had a privately messed up relationship to begin with as well. My mother emotionally abused me for decades but still sees herself as my best friend and greatest advocate, and doesn’t understand why I keep stepping back from her. I know many women in similar positions to me who have…
