I’m familiar with that trek and how thin the line can get Upstate between tranquil and . . . banjo. This really creeped me out.

I love the sweet stories

Well that’s disturbing 

While I’m all for exposing these bigots hypocrisy that is a huge privacy violation and I’m anti-doxxing

Her medical records will say “completed abortion”.

These photos circulate at least once a year. Someone handed the baby the IUD after birth and took the picture because it’s funny. 

Yeah, I get that the term originated on social media to trick the Al Gore Rhythm but it doesn’t belong in a news article (I use the term News loosely but still)

Great. Now do abortion.

I mean... yes. Having grown up in this kind of community I’m confident saying they would have rathered had a heart wrenching story about ‘how good a person she was trying to save her baby but ultimately it wAsN’T gOd’S wIlL’ than have to deal with the cognitive dissonance involved in accepting that sometimes someone’s…

This. Is. Nothing. New.
These people have been calling Plan B “the abortion pill” for as long as it has been around. When I was in Christian middle school in 1997 I had to read a book about a girl who was raped and valiantly refused the pill to sAvE hEr BaBy.
Plan B will be banned in a lot of states very soon and then…

Let me get this strait. States do not have the right to make gun laws in the name of public safety but they do have the right to make medical decisions on behalf of pregnant people?
I wish any of this was surprising.

They are great for backup and light days but not a practical 100% option if you ever leave the house for more than a couple hours.

NGL this is exactly the petty gossip I needed to get me though Friday. 

Good for her.
