We're running out of "acceptable" states, unfortunately....

I believe there is a large problem with Americans in general, and women especially, identifying solely as individuals who are not in fact a member of their particular discriminated-against demographic, but somehow they are apart, an outlier, above the fray. How else can you explain the vast majorities of poor people…

So, duh, Supreme Court! We obviously no longer need that whole "affirmative action" thing.

Rick Santorum is a constitutional terrorist.

You totally made my day! I'm going to the drugstore after work today, lol! <3!

Yes, this is correct from what I understood from an NPR report about it this afternoon: that the Governor's office was working late into the night in order to come up with an amendment to the Bill that would make the internal ultrasound voluntary, but not an external one (supposedly to make sure the fetus isn't hasn't…

I have found several articles talking about it this afternoon, how Santorum thinks it may help him, how people think the potential mischief votes wouldn't make any difference. For me, it's just the ethical dilemma of actually casting a vote for such a completely odious person. I'm leaning towards going for it, but I…

My mom often says that you can always tell a lady's age by her neck and hands, although hands might be the only true indicator nowadays.

THANK YOU! Thank you, thank you, thank you, lol! I need to step-up my anti-aging regiment pretty seriously.

As a Michigan voter, due to some, ah-hem, controversial finagling over the up coming primary by the GOP (involving the MI GOP putting Obama on the GOP primary ballot in order to entice Dems to come out and vote subsequently barring them from voting as a Democratic-party member in the general election), the MI GOP has…

One silver lining I saw to the whole Komen debacle is that the scandal might take some of the intense national focus off of breast cancer and put some of it back on heart disease, the number one killer (and now also the number four killer) of women. Women die of heart disease at a rate of 6-8 times higher than they do…

Yeah, as a fair girl I've been using sunscreen religiously on a daily basis since before I was a pre-teen. Early thirties, and I'm definitely starting to wrinkle. Sunscreen only takes you so far (God only knows what I'd look like without using it.)

Thanks so much for weighing in; that was very interesting... but you should know you might have some competition for Mr. Waterson...

I have a serious question: If a woman can prove she has physical damage to her body due neglect, bad science, invasive procedures, etc. due to any of these numerous, crazy laws that are popping up in the states, would she be able to directly sue the lawmaker who introduced the Bill for negligence or something similar?

Oh yeah, totally agreed. Awful argument on his part. I think that it was just so horrible and unintelligible that the Jezzie girls seemed confused by the statement's intent. I wonder why, lol! Gross, gross, gross.

Note: this is absolutely, positively NOT an argument in any way, shape, or form for the benefit of Rick Santorum.

What a fantastic argument; I'll have to remember that one. Thanks for sharing!

This is a really well-though-through argument. I appreciate your thoughts and am swayed by many of your points (especially the consistency in terminology between the sides argument.) However, the wonderful rowingrowingrowing managed to capture exactly what I had meant below, so there's no need for me to say repeat his…

This is extremely eloquent and well-put. Thank you for saying in a paragraph what I had struggled to say during this entire conversation!

Agreed, and that's actually exactly my point. If they can go so far as to call us the ridiculous and nonsensical "anti-life" then we should not be concerning ourselves with euphemistic, respectful terminology such as "anti-choice" for their side. Anti-abortion is anti-abortion, and some people on that side of the…
