Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

There’s a really great article floating around the internet called “The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion” chronicling extreme pro-lifers and abortion clinic protesters who find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Spoilers: They get abortions.

“The Legislature finds that [...]”

Okay, wait, let’s go down this rabbit-hole: Let’s say that this goes to the SCOTUS. The religious language should cause it to tank, and more important, set legal precedent that you can’t use religious conjecture to get around Roe vs Wade.

meanwhile, didn’t president obama include in the ACA that mental health should be treated and covered like physical health?

Watch. They are going to argue that it isn’t about the separation of Church and State because they used the word “Creator” instead of specifying WHICH creator (ie“God”). This is an actual argument that has been used before.

Truly, that part is what really got to me.

“The Legislature finds that all human life comes from the Creator, has an inherent value that cannot be quantified by man, and begins at the earliest biological development of a fertilized human egg,” the bill reads.

Surely you can also send a hearty fuck you to the people in Florida who voted for these politicians and want them to do precisely this. Because this fuckery doesn’t exist in a political vacuum.

inherent value that cannot be quantified by man

“The Legislature finds that all human life comes from the Creator, has an inherent value that cannot be quantified by man, and begins at the earliest biological development of a fertilized human egg,” the bill reads.

Fuck you, Florida Republican lawmakers. Fuck. You.

That is weird. I wonder if there is a portal at their house that leads to the world of lost phones.

Yes, it’s generally illegal to fire at a fleeing suspect unless there is reason to believe he’s an imminent threat(eg, has a hostage, claims to have a bomb detonator, is fleeing in a vehicle and has already used that vehicle to assault people, etc.) Of course, cops are in practice allowed to commit murder whenever…

Take away “with guns” and it would be just as true.

nooooo, watch out, there might be prohibitions on mailing animal waste. Harassing these assholes is worth a lot, but not criminal charges.

I think I read somewhere that it’s illegal to mail it to someone yourself, but if you hire a service whose business is mailing people boxes of it, then you’re okay.

I enjoyed this Jia. I also just want to say that I am a feminist and if people started sending me a bunch of sex toys in the mail me and all my feminist friends would be stoked. That shit is expensive.

I dunno. I think if everyone sent them ball gags, we’d be doing the world a favour.

I think if you send them shit, there really isn’t any court (with a jury) that would find you guilty of aiding and abetting.
