Again, you may want to have alternative ways to educate them. As someone who has given birth myself, the best thing for me was knowing about the stages of labor and knowing that the time when it would seem the worst was when it was closest to being over. That is not something that a person learns from a video. Videos…

Eh I am a physician assistant who regularly walks into the colonoscopy suite of which I have no problem. I regularly talk to folks about their pooping habits and other lovely things. None of that bothers me.

It may not make sense to you because you’re a medical professional. It makes sense to me. As an anthropologist, I knew that one of the things that happens during childbirth is that the child’s head smooths the bone in the woman’s pelvis through sheer force. Just knowing that (never having seen a video of it or…

I’m sure it was no picnic for Kate to do what she did, but the royals are not monsters. When Sophie (Countess of Wessex, Prince Edward’s wife) had her daughter Louise, she had a placental abruption and an emergency c-section. She was not required to do this. If (God forbid) Meghan has difficult births, she will be…

I was one of those weirdos who chose abstinence (for way longer than I recommend to anyone) so I never had so much as a pregnancy scare until I met my husband, but Jesus on a pogo stick—that was my choice! CHOICE! Because I made that choice doesn’t mean someone else should or could make the same one. I am just gutted…

Hey, good on you for reading the responses and admitting you didn’t read that carefully. I can understand, especially when your kid was born at 32 weeks.

Yeah I missed the non viable part because I suck. You’re completely right, and I apologize. 

Mea Culpa. I apologize because I did not read that correctly. Yes, if a woman at 32 weeks has a non viable fetus, she should absolutely be able to terminate that pregnancy. My apologies 

Yeah, there’s this feeling that women are just waiting until the 3rd trimester and saying, “Oh gosh, my due date will clash with my beach vacation...better get rid of the kid!”

Read again. NON-VIABLE. Meaning, it will not survive outside the womb. There, I even saved you 5 seconds googling.

Fucking really? Best of luck to your daughter with a parent that’s this obtuse. 

Pretty sure Women agree with you? NON-VIABLE at 32 weeks. So imagine how crushing it would be, to have become attached to your daughter, to be loving and planning and then to find out her heart had stopped. If that’s not enough to injure your life beyond repair, imagine a Doctor telling you and your heartbroken wife…

Read the article linked in the part about 32 weeks. I also recommend watching the documentary “After Tiller” about later gestation abortions, who has them, and why.

You must have missed the part that said “NON-VIABLE PREGNANCY.” You should also read the article from the woman who had to terminate her very much wanted pregnancy because it wasn’t viable. Women are not stupid. No one decides at 32 weeks to just get an abortion.

To any progressive dudes who just sort of tune out anything related to our Roe concerns because it just doesn’t affect you: shame on you.

I was in high school and college in the 90s and goddammit I am not doing this again!

My eyebrows are perfectly shaped forehead forests. Always were, always will be. My grandmother, a 1930s Hollywood chorus girl (true) told me when I was a little girl that I had perfect eyebrows and though it was acceptable to clean up and shape them, I must never, never (never!) overpluck or shave them. (True. I was…

FUCK NO. My eyebrows were thick before they were in and they are going to stay that way. I pluck what have to to keep them neat. That is it. That will always be it. I have VERY Strong Feelings on this matter. End of Rant.

Remember, kids: unless you have the face and charisma of Marlene Dietrich and/or Rihanna, shaved and drawn-on eyebrows are a TERRIBLE IDEA. I mean, they’re a bad idea even for Rihanna and Dietrich, who both look better with their natural eyebrows. Sure, it looks cool in editorial shoots and the Blue Angel, but not in…

I did the math last year. Just spit-ball numbers and per capita healthcare in the UK costs ~$3300 per person per year... in the USA that number is almost $10k dollars. Single pay sure is the devil.
