That sounds like a problem with the doctor who inserted it. There’s nothing about the insertion or the IUD itself that can cause muscle damage. I’m very sorry this happened to you (but that is very unusual). 

Yeah, the one good thing about the way Franken left was that he appeared to be putting both the concerns of the Democratic Party and the #metoo movement over his own ego. And this article makes it very, very clear that his ego has come roaring back. That’s not surprising—he was a politician and a comedian; of course…

I mean, Cory Booker is a lot of things - I find him disingenuously earnest for one - but “sad” isn’t one of them.

a total lack of effort, they say.

Because they still need STD testing, may need hormone therapy. Transmen and gender non-binary people with uteruses can get pregnant, get cervical cancer, need mammograms, etc. Just like PP also serves cis-men for STD checks, prostate exams, etc. It is a no-brainer to use gender inclusive language for all people who…

Living in the Midwest, and being on the board of a reproductive health clinich that just renamed itself to be more inclusive and has begun offering hormone therapy I’d like to say that there are people who can’t handle trans-inclusive language everywhere across this country, not just in the Midwest.

I live in Texas where we lost the majority of our Planned Parenthood sites due to Republican politics. We literally don’t have the option of ignoring politics IN ORDER to do the best we can for patients and employees.

To be fair there’s a wide number of California affiliates, it’s hard to generalize from any one affiliate.

So let me get this straight. Cunt is allowed on Twitter when it’s used as an insult, but banned when it’s used in celebration?

“The Cigarette—which sounds really, really good, and has a frankly incredible cover—is out in October.”

I wonder if they will offer pieces from both yore and yesteryear.

That shorts suit looks ridiculous as all shorts suits do* but she looks like she’s having the best time ever so whatever. 🤷🏾‍♀️

...but McGrath is a self-described moderate who believes the Democrats currently running for president are veering too far to the left. She doesn’t support eliminating private insurance under a Medicare-for-all plan, nor does she support subsidizing healthcare for undocumented immigrants. She also describes herself as…

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

I remember watching it thinking Chris Klein was gonna be the next big thing. Where did he and his forehead go? I hope he’s on TV, cuz I sure haven’t seen him in movies.

True story: I just came back from a month-long trip to East Africa and while we were in the Serengeti our guide told us that male lions can’t run as well as female lions because their balls rub together and it’s very painful, apparently.

Why would you pass up the opportunity to harangue someone like that?

Yes, we want that 2% of rapists who actually see jail time to go even lower!

There’s nothing wrong with asking dates what outdoor/physical activities they enjoy to determine mutual interests. In my case, when I replied that I prefer reading and writing to exercising, the guy actually had the nerve to say that I should care about fitness more because I’m not always going to look the way I do…
