Why can’t we just replace Andy Putzer with a kiosk?

I am the byproduct of a secret teenage abortion. My parents were still in high school, kept the secret from my mom’s parents and were able to graduate high school, go on to college/join the military and eventually have me, when they were ready. Thanks, abortion!

“If my grandmother had had an abortion, I wouldn’t be here today,” Blanton added.

Doesn’t he realize this is an argument for abortion?

If Hitler had never come into power and the Holocaust never happened, I would not be here. If the Soviets had never created gulags and forced people into them, I would not be here. 

Seriously!! I hate that argument. If I were never born then...I’d never have been born and wouldn’t care because I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN BORN! Gah!

It’s quite frankly stupid. Under the same line of thought we can say well if x woman had had an abortion then

Oh this. I sat with my friend at a doctors office before she went in and explained how she didn’t wan’t a child and getting pregnant was an accident. (we were teenagers - there was no way she could have supported a child she didn’t want in the first place). She didn’t tell her parents and lives in the UK so she…

Also, can’t every person who has been born basically say this?

I wouldn’t be here either, my mother had an abortion not soon after marrying my father - they were still unsure if they wanted to have children.

If you’re a big enough asshole to point at yourself and say “good things come from rape” you are actually proof that nothing good comes from rape.

Or someone who has spent enough time with a woman to become her friend/acquaintance, and yet is able to ignore her personhood enough to assault her? That’s some strong morality right there! Sigh.

My 10-year-old son saw a sign in a restroom indicating tampons couldn’t be flushed, so he asked me a) what those are and b) why you can’t flush them, so I explained. (We’ve had several period talks already, and he knows he can ask me anything.) I finished by saying, “Son, there are two kinds of men: the kind that act…

I sort of want to quote Lindy West at him:

He’ll probably block any calls, like Paul Ryan blocked delivery of 87K signed petitions from PP today with 6 security guards and a closed (“unless you have an appointment”) office sign:

Nina Starner, the woman in the piece, has also set up a closed Facebook group to start this exact movement.

I’d love to describe to him, in detail, the consistency, color, odor of my clots. Absolutely.

Office numbers:

Fuck yes

I’m not saying this isn’t true or doesn’t make sense, but I would really like to see a link to the research indicating that incorrectly gendered medical treatment is what leads to shorter life expectancy for trans people. Even if you could somehow control for physical violence, the medical effects of hormones, the…

I don’t think forcibly outing people as trans on their IDs, which could subject them to employment, housing, and other forms of discrimination, is the solution to the issue you’ve identified. If someone doesn’t want to out themselves to a medical provider, that’s their choice. Frankly, depending on where they live the…
