Totally tangential, but I was explaining to a (male!) friend that my fiance and I aren’t planning on having kids. He got all flustered and upset, because he thinks we owe children to the human race or something, and he actually said, “what if your parents had decided not to have kids?” Well, then we wouldn’t be having…

My mother was given the choice to abort me (I was a late in life baby and my siblings are all about a decade older), thought it over, and decided not to. I’m glad she had the option and was able to decide for herself that she wanted me instead of being forced into it. Republicans don’t care that the kids will have to…

My mother almost aborted me, and I’m still pro-choice. That one gets them too. Because I’ve had people throw that at me— “what if your mother had chosen to abort YOU?!?!” Well, she would have had an easier life. And I... wouldn’t realize that I wasn’t born since I was never, you know, born.

I, personally, know I say, “your word is your bond” at least every other day. Very common phrase.

Many years ago I miscarried a deeply wanted pregnancy and truly contemplated suicide. I wouldn’t have survived if someone had tried to make me plan burial services during my recovery. Fuck this fucking monster and everything he stands for.

Fuck anyone in the eyehole who has never had a miscarriage and suggests this. Seriously. Having had one, the LAST fucking thing I needed was some government bullshit hoops to jump through. Also, because it was an early miscarriage, the only other person who knew about it was my husband. Is there an OB who supports…

Forreal. I think with this decision, Trump has absolutely killed his chances of having really...well, any women vote for him. His voting base is only going to get whiter and maler than it already was. Between this and the RNC platform being excessively homophobic, transphobic, and anti-sex, the Trump-Pence vote will…

“We should destroy them with kinetic power, using various weapons starting with predators and frankly just killing them.”

I don’t understand anything that I just read. It’s like they don’t even care to sound coherent or make these bills clever enough that they can pass as anything other than blatant bullshit excuses to push their stupid beliefs.

This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.

Eh, the more people post about Bernie Bros the less women Sanders supporters feel they’re being heard. It’s making us invisible.

You don’t need an organization to do either of those things...

The nuns have already been given and option to accommodate their beliefs and they have decided it isn’t good enough because nothing is going to be good enough that doesn’t allow them to obstruct their employee’s access to birthcontrol. And, no I’m not going to sympathize with the cruel, sexist dictates of a…

It’s almost like women are humans who generally know what’s best for them and their lives.

“If an embryo is not a person, what is it?”

I may be (and probably am) in the minority, but even if she did abort the baby because it was a boy... who fucking cares? Isn't that part of why we allow women the right to choose? Shouldn't she get a choice in whether she births a girl, boy, or something in-between? I couldn't care less WHY a woman gets an abortion,…
