Also doesn’t give you the right to harass people seeking medical care. Or write down their license plate numbers or post their photos online - which is what these sick fucks do to women.

The complaint, as the Chicago Tribune reports, accuses the city, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson and Transportation Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld of “partnering with abortion vendors to violate the rights of those who wish to reach out to women seeking abortions.”

I am OK with it as long as this man is allowed to rub up against the pamphleteers while they harass the pregnant women ....

From what I’ve seen, what these activists and ‘sidewalk counselors’ do amounts to harassment.

After I saw The Ring in theaters, I went home to find that my step-father was asleep and my mother was at work and everything was dark and I was terrified. I called my mother while she was bartending on what must have been a Friday or Saturday night (not an ideal time to chat) to tell her how afraid I was and ask her…

Are they coming for my long-sleeved swim shirt? And the long, loose pants I often wear. No. Because I am blonde and white. That is all this is about- discriminating against a specific group. At what point are they flat-out banning women head-scarved Muslim women from the beach? This is not the way to prevent extremism.

Well, they’ll probably only enforce it for women who “look Muslim”, however they understand that. As other people have pointed out, they’re not enforcing the law for nuns.

And if a woman is wearing a t-shirt and pants on the beach, will she be forced to change into a bikini? This is complete fucking garbage. And the ‘burkini’ isn’t religious wear. It’s just an article of clothing women can wear if they don’t want to wear a revealing bathing suit. I’ve seen plenty of women who aren’t…

This is so ridiculous. How can they not see how absurd this is for police to demand women remove their clothing in public when they pose no threat and are causing no problems?

I wonder how many conservatives can’t see their own hypocrisy as they support something like this while at the same time demanding “religious freedom” laws that allow people to comply with a “sincerely held religious belief?”

(sees article about Patti giving up sugar)

The article goes into this better than I can, but, essentially, doctors usually operate on the assumption that a parent is telling the truth about symptoms- and because Muchausen by proxy people usually have a medical background and are very good at regurgitating the right language, and really good at appearing…

There were a lot of ways she fell through the cracks because of her mom’s abuse and outside coincidence - sometimes a doctor wouldn’t provide the diagnosis the mom was looking for, so they would just change doctors. Or the fact that they were victims of Hurricane Katrina, so the mom just claimed the medical records…

This is another serious question - who was operating on a patient that obviously didn’t have the conditions that would require the operations? It sounds like a serious breach of ethics on the part of the surgeons. The whole thing is heart-wrenching. The daughter should have been taken away from this monster by social…

Just reading the quoted description of “interventions” made me sick to my stomach. Who the fuck were the doctors that were doing this to her?

Yes, obviously, murder is not a good thing, but how can this woman be held to the same standard as someone of sound mind who had a relatively normal upbringing? Most of us would know we had other options. Did she? Did she fully comprehend that she had legal options, given her upbringing, and the physical/mental…

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me

This actually sounds like self-defense. I realize it doesn’t fit the legal definition, but given the torture this woman endured at her mother’s hands, is it really so difficult to understand how someone in her position could snap?
