A cell phone is contraband? Unbelievable. You’re being disingenuous. It did not get loose, it was stolen. And yes, it matters.

It didn’t “get loose”, the kid went out of his way to violate her property and privacy! Why are you even here if you can’t do better than that? Goddamn.

Bullshit, “she’s not a victim”. That little creep put his hands on her property, invaded her privacy, and threatened her verbally. To use the example upthread, would you see it any differently if he stole cash from her wallet instead?

Interesting. I was terrified to bed share until I fell asleep nursing my son and woke every time he twitched. I can see how that instinct would be dulled if you were under the influence.

Hah, I got hammered on vodka two days before I found out I was pregnant. Frantically googled FAS till my OB told me to stop, that it would be fine. (She was right)

EXACTLY. I was ten when I liked this show. WTF does a ten year old know about anything?

Like the anti-vaxxers. They don’t know how good they have it NOW because they never got a close up look at how horrific things were THEN.

But they ARE! I’m utterly baffled by women who are eager to be second class citizens and get really angry at those of us who want better.

Oh my god, NO1CURR. Take your own advice and go do something constructive, you batshit psycho.

Their job is to consider the eventual nominee, and they have categorically stated that they will refuse to do it. I’m not sure why you think you’re playing “gotcha” here.

Uh, no, you started it by making a thoughtless remark. It would be the classy thing to admit you were wrong, but here you are, riding your high horse all the way to the bitter end.

Lol I can’t say the same

Civil, sure. But she’s calling everyone assholes and dickbags for “misinterpreting” her. I don’t really understand her position on self defense but she was a rude bitch about it from the jump. Nobody misinterpreted her.

Oh don’t bother.

It’s just something to consider. But I see you haven’t learned anything at all. Have an awesome day.

People reacted to what you said. If you meant something different, maybe choose your words better. Someone’s story of survivorhood really isn’t a place for flippant comments.

The fact that she wanted it meant she would have continued the pregnancy to its natural conclusion, at which time it would be a born person.

I genuinely don’t understand how they don’t see it as victim blaming. “Beating up” conjures a completely different picture than “fighting back” or “defending yourself”, and that commenter acting all innocent now...gaaah. Just gaah.

Your “flippant comment” was factually incorrect and served to paint the OP in a negative light. That’s why so many people were offended.

This is a great response.
