I'm sure if I was younger I would have more stuff I'd regret posting on the internet but I honestly can't think of anything. My Facebook page (which is basically the only place on the internet I use my real name) is pretty spartan. I do get more over share-y with my ridiculous fake internet alias name but I feel…

Why would he even admit it? I just. This is all so narcissistic. Someone should write a book.

Exactly.

She was going to be forcibly taken away regardless of the standoff.

The thing is, if the mother had not engaged in a 10 hour stand off with police we all wouldn't be reading about it right now. Her kid would be taken, medicated against her wishes (and apparently we're now learning unnecessarily) and this woman would be left to her own devices trying to wrest her kid back from the…

Yes except now it's being reported that actual medical doctors are saying there is no need for the teen to be on the prescribed drugs.

Not in a legal sense in that she's not saying their lack of background checks was the de facto cause of her injuries and that they need to compensate her accordingly for such.

Thanks for this comment, I really appreciated reading it.

I am not a Gwyneth fan at all but credit where credit is due for being like, this body doesn't just happen.

Stop being so great. You're giving me a complex.

Thank you.

I mean I don't know what to tell you, she's not holding them legally responsible in any way for what happened to her as that would be impossible. The headline is really misleading.

I hate to play this game. It's not about the Oppression Olympics. Yes gay people are discriminated against in US society but so are women. Have you been watching the all out war being waged right now on women's reproductive rights? We are more than just walking uterii.

Exactly. People need to use a little empathy.

Oh really? Women have never died as the result of being regarded as simply breeding chattel?

She's not trying to hold them legally responsible for what happened to her, she's just trying to get an injunction going forward.

I'm not in the market for a dating website but if I was I would def. be interested in choosing the one that did criminal background checks. Why not? It's just an added layer of protection. If you don't like it don't participate. But I bet a lot of people would.

I'm going to add my two cents, the "breeder" comment was offensive, it's not an ok way to refer to women. I can't believe that even needs to be pointed out on a so-called progressive website.

Yeah call me cynical but I find it hard to believe that a politician lying about the possible birth of a child to be the biggest hoax in American political history. Please.

I'd like to live in a society where raising breast cancer awareness doesn't default to breast fetishization.
