He was also the lawyer who represented the family of Philando Castile so yes, his “hyperbole” which also threw his other clients under the bus isn’t mere attorney zealousness for his client.

Right, Rey is like, so boring and not interesting to play as, whereas I have always found myself deeply passionate about, and highly invested in, small metal thimbles and top hats. I mean, have you heard about Thimble’s backstory???

This is absolutely disgusting, the medical examiners should fucking pay for the damages incurred by this man. Guy loses his daughter by sheer accident, is labeled a child molester/killer and is charged for these crimes. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU GET THAT WRONG?!?!?

I don’t know why she didn’t but why are we holding 1980s Hillary Clinton to a higher standard? Why not the previous administration and the one following as well. As you see nowhere do I condone the practice. I just want to know why  Hillary is being called out and not the wives of mike Huckabee, frank white or David…

I mean she wasn’t “famous” when she was first Lady of Arkansas. She was one in a long line of first ladies at that point . How was she supposed to know to do something? She couldn’t have known it would have been held against her almost 30 years later.

So, were the previous and post AK governors doing this as well? If so, it’s pretty shitty to just call Hillary out just because she did what everyone else was doing.

I hope you see the problem with your view that stating the bare fact of a woman having an abortion at 32 weeks seems like “vilifying” her to you. Anti-abortion rhetoric is internalized by many of us (Elizabeth included, per her own word). I’ll take you at your word that you are 100% pro choice, but I think your…

“Miscarriage” is not a medical term. In medicine, what we think of as “miscarriages” are called “spontaneous abortions.” This was not a spontaneous abortion because it was quite literally induced. She would have either had a still birth or delivered a live baby who lives for a few minutes before suffocating to death.…

I think the question, then, is why you would think an article on Jezebel—on Jezebel!—would in any way, ever vilify a woman who had any kind of abortion?

EXACTLY, thank you! Someone very close to me just had a late-term abortion—it was heratbreaking for her. And I’ve been going back and forth with my husband, who insists that it’s a miscarriage and “not a regular abortion,” “not the same,” etc. I’ve been trying to help him understand that it’s an abortion, plain and…

“I’m totally pro choice, except for in my earlier comments when I make it plainly known that I would be HORRIFIED if a woman chose to have a late term abortion for a reason I did not agree with” — you

Well, if you are going to use the anti-choice side’s definitions and phraseology, you’ll have to forgive the rest of us who assume you are anti-choice.

I think that, if you assume the article is being read by someone who is pro-choice, the reader knows that it is not the title that is horrifying. They may know that the story probably will be because there is a good chance that abortion at 32 weeks = wanted pregnancy + medical problem but the title is not horrifying…

Technically all pregancnies that end pre-term are abortions. It’s just that some are spontaneous while other are medical or therapeutic.

What about the headline made you think that, though. It’s pretty much a dispassionate representation of exactly what the story covers. It’s not sensational or controversial or click bait. The headline is an exact descriptor of the article, without any kind of attached emotion or judgement. You are the one that added…

If you aren’t judging, then there should never be a ‘wow’ response to an abortion. What you’re saying in all of these comments, or at least the way it’s coming across to most of the people responding, is that you assumed from the title that the story was going to be about a woman choosing to abort a healthy fetus at…

Perhaps you need to educate yourself on abortion - anyone who has at least a decent amount of knowledge about abortion knows that after 20-odd weeks (and, arguably, before) it’s always about a patient’s struggle with a sad, tragic situation.

I am so sorry that you had to see this vicious comment. Thank you for the story it was enlightening and enraging to realize that a woman in New York! had to fly somewhere else to terminate a non viable baby. I wish I could give you a hug this was so clearly a hard experience for you. I too was furious with the…

I’m happy to read that you didn’t actually mean it, but your original comment horrified me, because it was misleading.

What exactly do you think the headline should be changed to? “Woman who recently had an abortion at 32 weeks is not a slutty slut so it’s ok”?
