As a currently pregnant person, I’d like to tell this man to fuck the fuck off with his host bullshit. I wanted this baby and pregnancy is miserable as FUCK. This isn’t hosting, this is being bled fucking dry by a goddamned alien (if you’re reading this in the future, little dude, just know that I mean every fucking…

I ordered a copy of The Handmaid’s Tale last week. Got it in the mail on Saturday. Finished it last night. I couldn’t put it down. Instead, I put it on my summer syllabus. All these young adults are going to get a big dose of the real world according to Thundercats this summer.

This guy said all kinds of stupid bullshit, BUT: I fucking hate being pregnant, you guys. I 100% feel like I am an unwilling host, unable to control anything about my body, and I really want this fetus to be done growing and get the fuck out of me (23 more weeks to go!). I’ve come to terms with hating this fucking…

my GF asked me for a copy of The Handmaid’s Tale for Valentine’s Day.

Right? All I could think after this is “I want to buy this lady a drink and a vacation to somewhere warm with blue,blue water and maybe one of those canopy princess beds and like, a 4-wheeler if she wants. ANYTHING SHE WANTS.”

Title: Interview With a Woman Who Recently Had an Abortion at 32 Weeks

Except the title is succinct. You may think there is no judgment on your part, but there is because you feel the need to defend her further in the title. It’s kind of irrelevant what her reasons are. She deserves your respect because she’s a woman who made a choice about her body. The end.

Do you know why you thought that?

...all other arguments aside, you STILL didn’t explain HOW in the world you’d taking an villification from a very unbiased headline. still don’t buy it. it’s about as unbiased a headline as you could ask for, given the subject.

She understood exactly what you meant. This woman you’re not judging, but other women who get late term abortions are. But this is a typical late term abortion.

“How about asking me what I meant before you judge me”

yeah but no. know what site you’re reading. gawker / jez would never villify a woman for her choice to have an abortion. i don’t buy it. also, there is absolutely no language in the title that you couldn’t take at face value. it was so straightforward, dunno HOW you’d ever read “interview with a woman who recently had…

I starred this and unstarred this so I could star this again

It is not the author’s job to find the hidden meaning in your comment.

It was a late term abortion. The baby’s heart was stopped and it was extracted. What was misleading?

THIS. When I was younger, still living at home with my conservative parents, I took a political science class at the local college. We had weekly debates, and for the reproductive rights debate, I took the anti-abortion side, because that’s what I believed. The professor asked if I thought abortion was murder and…

you don’t get to make a woman’s choice about her own body

This feeds the incredibly damaging narrative of “Good abortions vs. Bad abortions.” The whole point is that women should be allowed to access health care without having to prove they deserve it. The headlines isn’t click bait but it raises an interesting question : who are you to decide her decision oy to remain…

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

My heart broke into one thousand pieces for this woman. my god. MY GOD. I CANNOT.
