Thank you for this context. It does help explain the why and the what.

Hamilton deserves his place on the ten. We need to get rid of Jackson.

This actually really pisses me off. We lobbied for the $20, to replace a bad dude who didn’t favor paper currency and would likely have hated being on it. Easy decision, right? Nope.

C-sections are bad for you. Epidurals can have unintended consequences. Breastfeeding is beneficial.

I don’t know how many more times readers have to tell you Gawker drones this, but don’t fucking write about science. You clearly are waaay too dumb or too lazy to do the research needed to understand it. The very least

Afterward, the nurse handed me a series of pamphlets. One, entitled “Before You Decide” and distributed by CareNet, already had my mind made up for me. It purported that I had “options” and “deserve to know the facts.” (Which, of course, I do. Every pregnant woman should know the facts. But they should know the right
