I’m trying not to lie to myself - I totally want to read her book - just to confirm everything we already believed to be true. 

Clearly a very troubled woman - other than that, I don’t understand her support of a party tied to the assaulter in chief (former).

MY EXACT FIRST THOUGHT. What the hell, medical personnel?

First, there is no ‘on the other hand’. If you haven’t been vaccinated you are a fucking idiot and deserve all the bad juju coming your way.

Maybe Manchin is just a really zealous anti-abortionist? I can’t think of any other reason actually.

I admit to be confused. I had the impression that Manchin and Sinema were not on board with their fellow democrats on voting this issue. I don’t understand why Manchin considers himself a democrat at all  frankly.

The Taliban isn’t a race. Its a terrorist organization. 

So you are, in fact, saying that abortion is an appropriate form of birth control? I don’t see it that way. Using appropriate measures not to become pregnant is, and should be the first choice. When the first choice fails, then abortion is choice number two. And of course none of this speaks to the fact that woman are…

Not sure if this is some kind of Kinja issue but I have seen several replies to my posts on this particular thread (through my notification) but none of them are showing up on the board, even those labelled ‘pending’. Not sure why this is happening.

So if you insist that a woman give birth to a child who is not wanted or, more likely unable to be adequately supported, then you must also support and contribute to government ‘socialist’ programs that make sure that child is fed, clothed and educated.

Well thank you. I am asking questions in good faith. Again, I am in favor of abortion on demand - but abortion can be pretty traumatic and should not be a replacement for birth control. The end game is to assist women not to get pregnant in the first place if they don’t want to bear a child. 

That is a terrible take isn’t it. Obviously if the pro-lifers were really pro-life they would be actively assisting newborns and mothers to help them along. But few of them actually do that I’m guessing. Its all part of those who go to places of worship on Sunday (for the optics) but do whatever the hell they want the…

I know why women get abortions - all the reasons listed in your links. I guess the better question is how is it that women who do not want children still become pregnant? Is is inaccessibility to birth control for financial reasons - or birth control failure. Or no birth control to begin with. And if choosing not to…

Its everyone’s business when children are brought into this world who were not welcomed or wanted. I’m all for terminating pregnancies for women who are not ready to face the challenge of parenthood. I’m trying to understand how they became pregnant in the first place - it might help to put more and more effective…

And I completely understand all that in theory. But in reality, how did it all go sideways for people like Jan. That’s why I would like to hear her take on an unwanted pregnancy - was it a birth control failure. Or barriers to getting birth control... or something else.

Seems like a lot of Texans share commonalities with the Taliban. Love of guns, and control of women. However I am concerned about Jan’s future plans regarding her sex work. Clearly her birth control failed her. Does she have other ideas about how to protect her health and prevent more unwanted prenancies? I am…

He’s white... and blonde. If he has blue eyes he has hit the trifecta.

I think the borderline crazies were tipped over the edge with Covid into full on insanity.

Some of these things are not like the others.

Another suggestion might be to agree to store another’s belongings for a fee. A storage fee. So that they might consider getting a storage locker if their stuff is so valuable that they might want it in the future.
