*for the rest of us who don't want to be celibate, sex is a necessary part of life. You should have as much or as little sex as you want. People shouldn't feel pressured to have sex, but they also shouldn't feel pressure to wait until marriage.

Abortion is being used as a form of birth control which it is not.

hey. As someone who is voluntarily celibate AND pro-choice, that's fucking offensive dude.

Yes, if they choose to engage in actions that may result in pregnancy they should take responsibilty for their actions.

But the pro-lifers are against abortion to protect the right to life of the fetus.

Pregnancy may be a fact of biology, but it can have a high physical cost. Repeated pregnancies too close together can have a…

Actually, the ACA did require contraceptives to be a part of insurance policies.

imitation vanilla is a thing???? why??? Can I substitute the imitation vanilla for Kahlua? ;)

I don't miss living in a nasty area. At all. I wish no one had to live in a nasty area. (I however, am a poor candidate for defense related gun-ownership. Too flighty and panic too easily)

That's utterly terrifying D: I hope you and your neighbors are able to stay safe!

....how do you know you have a serial killer in your neighborhood?

I dunno. I'd think they'd be fun to collect, especially older ones. The development of rifles and guns is really fascinating. I'd like to learn to do engravings on them as well. Something about the dichotomy of beauty and a weapon meant to kill appeals to me. (I have no desire to actually use one, and haven't since my…

Because people are idiots, and frequently forget that the SCOTUS exists and how it functions within our government. (much like you just did, but since you're a non-American you at least get a pass.)
