You don’t understand how a woman could consider the name which she’s gone by all their lives to be her name as well as their father’s or mother’s name? (Or at least more her name than her husband’s father’s name?) Or that, in a country where more than half of adults think that married women should be legally forced to…

I was date raped and became pregnant about 10 years ago. I didn’t want to report it, as I knew the guy and had been drinking and knew I had no case. I called the guy and told him I was going to get an abortion. He freaked out and went as far as the have a lawyer send me a letter saying he would sue me if I…

If her rapist is her “spouse, parent, guardian, or physician” then yes! I suppose, a parent who raped his own child would be double- or tripled-entitled to force her to carry the pregnancy to term!

Maybe it’s only for second trimester abortions (which are pretty common for incest babies).

As somebody who had to terminate around 20 weeks due to fetal abnormalities inconsistent with life, FUCK YOU, ARKANSAS.

That’s basically exactly what I came here to post. lol, wut? Her physician can sue for damages? Or her parents/guardian/spouse? Jesus, why not throw nephews, spiritual leaders, and bankers on there for good measure?

Wait...am I reading this right that a rapist now has the right to sue to force his victim to have his child?

the people I knew who didn’t vote or voted third party are adamant that the problem was her and the Democratic party that cost her the election and that people should stop pointing fingers at them

I LITERALLY IRL know one of Rob Lowe’s former assistants who lives here in Santa Barbara and I can guarantee none of that sounds true, she basically had nothing but good things to say and she insists that she was treated like family for the years she worked with him.

I have no idea why this story has not gotten more coverage. Someone was shot, and the shooter is just, going to walk? Wtf? Also, Milo’s army of trolls is harassing a UW student who spoke out: http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2017/01/27/24830371/uw-professor-gets-doxxed-after-milo-yiannopoulos-protests

They went “rogue” from the main group of protestors. Happens quite a bit given the nature of protesting.

I’m still baffled as to how you can be a ‘rogue’ protestor. By protesting haven’t you already effectively gone rogue? It’s like disagreeable dissident.

Yup, and now the “riots” in Berkeley are of course all over the news. Because we value the poor starbucks store that got looted more than we value anti-fascists lives.

The thing is, a lot of those in flyover country actively don’t care. My family are primarily farmers, and they’re the least environmentally responsible people I know. They bemoan the bans on DDT and parathion, even though more than a few people in their local areas were killed or became seriously ill thanks to that…

I mean...they’re cops. The largest police union in the US endorsed Trump. It isn’t a stretch of my imagination that they see the shooter as one of “their guys”. Plus the victim is an anarchist therefore they personally don’t want to press charges because they don’t believe in state punishment. But yeah, the cop should…

Between berating the Australian PM and threatening the Mexican President with sending in US troops to deal with all the “bad hombres down there” it will be amazing if we maintain good relations with anywhere outside of Russia.

it is private property “under a 19th century treaty.”

Hey now. He also took some phone time to threaten Mexico with war.

Omfg did you hear what trump talked about? The size of his fucking dick again, oops, I mean the size of his electoral college win. He then scolded the PM by saying his was the worst call of the day. We are dealing with an imbecile. At this rate, we won’t have a single ally left by the end of February.

“Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault II requested a meeting with President Trump to discuss the implications of the pipeline.”
