This is a great, necessary piece.

I agree with the others who said your heart is in the right place, but your wording is not. Women shouldn’t be forced to endure something so difficult and dangerous as pregnancy and childbirth. Personally, a huge part of why I would choose abortion is because of the serious damage that my last pregnancy caused to my…

Heh, I was going to chime in with a “think of the internationals who have even more limited options!”

Just remember it wasn’t always this way in Canada. I had my abortion during the Morgentaler years, and I had to ‘prove’ I needed the procedure to an appointed board. I was closely questioned by one particular matriarch with a big gold cross around her neck. I lied like a rug. I told them my boyfriend beat me. Then I…

It’s the worst. I’m a size 6, so not curvy enough to be a “real woman” or skinny enough to be a Victoria’s Secret model. Guess I don’t exist?

I always hesitate with the “You want to ban abortion? Then you get the baby” argument because I know there are probably a number of anti-abortion advocates who would totally call your bluff and adopt the baby, but that doesn’t mean that the pregnancy should go forward if the mother doesn’t want it to.

I hate that quote, about making clothes for “real women”. I understand that there is a need for a range of sizes, and quite frankly it’s fucked up that all clothes don’t automatically come in 00-40 and beyond, but every time a designer says they’re making clothes for “real women” and mean it to be plus sized, I get…

Hey now, there’s always Lena Dunham.

I’m just going to express a wee amount of self pity and say how much it sucks to not only have to shop mostly online, but as a non-US residing person, have to buy from US or EU retail stores and have to account for exchange rates, pay for shipping and sometimes also duty. Sob.

I want to live in a cottage named Frogmore. I would sit on the toadstools and talk to the bunnies every morning while I drink a cup of honey and run my bare feet through the wildflowers.

If it makes you feel better, there’s poo germs literally everywhere.

Damn right, she “experienced tremendous personal growth”. Ivanka Trump earned at least $82 million in income in 2017, according to the documents referenced by CNN.

Excuse but I absolutely wipe my dog’s butt every time. I ain’t about to have no poopy smears on my sofa! 

FINALLY. Doing something right (I insert myself down the sliver in middle).

Anecdotally, in the last sixish months since throwing my cheating husband out of the house and getting a puppy, this is absolutely 1000% true.

relevant?

This is my reality. Where am I supposed to fit again? But my dog is 12 and I’ve had him since he was just a puppy. Old dog gets whatever he wants.

True, my dog is an angel.

Oh, God.

Unless your dog is a boxer. In which case, good luck ever reclaiming an inch of your bed space or your pillow ever again.
