They want to be the first Republican-dominated state to crow about “stopping all abortions within the state”. It’s the same reason the Missouri Republicans were fighting so aggressively to shut down the last clinic, and same in Mississippi.

Rewatch the West Wing knowing what you know now. You’ll see it.

I only read it last summer, and I’m still haunted by the “There’s freedom to, and there’s freedom from...” bit.

What were the consequences if you didn’t? That’s the part you may not remember, but which is part of every solid parenting strategy. It may not be something you consider a “trick,” but getting a 6-year-old to remember to do something every single day without being reminded constantly or screwing up constantly…

When I was a teenager, I got it in my head that I would have either a baby or a husband, but not both because that would be too much work.

How Not to Hate Your Husband

Did you think Serena Joy was happy in Gilead, Tomi? This is the future you’ve worked so hard to build. You’re not allowed to have opinions.

... which, combined, reveal intimate information about the user’s sexual habits.

For example, as an older established family we no longer need pre-natal and maternity care options. Some of the “minimum standards” set by the ACA made insurance more expensive for all. 

That’s not true, and I addressed it in the post. The CBO says the market is stable (aka NOT in a death spiral) under either the ACA or AHCA.

As an older, established family, a la carte is probably not actually something you are going to want, given that your health declines as you age. You would need to opt in to a whole host of things that a younger person would skip, and you would pay more for it than whatever you imagine maternity care to be costing you.

These estimates are separate from the yearly increases. It’s comparing the two plans to each other, not to prices today. Prices go up every year; they did before the ACA, too.

This came about last year and the university held Sandstorm hostage and wouldn’t play it at any basketball game. The students then started chanting Fuck KU to any music that was played whether over the PA or by the band. They finally relented and played it once last year. Same thing this year, they played it once,…

Let me help out the people of Lawrence.

Counterpoint: Fuck KU.

Using the term ‘pre-born’ (blech) is a quick and clear way to indicate that you were furiously revising your Young Life skit when you should have been paying attention in high school biology.

It’s fucking ridiculous to include people who are FOR what we are marching AGAINST.

Here’s the thing: Many disabilities aren’t visible. Let’s take Reince Priebus out of this entirely for a second. Let’s say there’s just some guy sitting in the disabilities seat. How do we know if he’s disabled? We don’t. I assume since he’s sitting in that seat, he needs such accommodation. If I’m disabled, I’m not…

As someone who needs to use those spaces,I’ll tell you what I see as the problem with this . There were many, many other places where he can sit without any problem available at the moment this photo was taken. It shows, firstly, that he thinks he is above the need to obey these little ‘niceties’. In what other,…
