So you’re saying she’s available?

It’s not the unions that are the fundamental problem, but the relationship between police and prosecutors. If a prosecutor goes after a cop, it is very easy for every case the prosecutor has to go south. Cops suddenly develop amnesia, say the wrong thing on the stand, lose track of critical evidence, accidentally…

To be fair, everyone has the right to a defense even someone as awful as Peterson. So I have no problem with a lawyer who would defend someone like that. That’s how the system works and we shouldn’t attack defense lawyers when they’re an important part of our criminal justice system. This case is a choice for the…

Risk is also a part of the job description. That’s why they feel they need to actively defend themselves instead of... you, know-the community.

“I’m suing you because I shot and killed you, am now under investigation, and therefore I am emotionally distressed.” Fuck this cop

Uhhh, isn't emotional distress part of the job description when you decided to become a police officer? It is literally your job to handle distressing situations. It's also the defense apologetics use when explaining why it's okay for you to kill unarmed civilians. This is an extra step of awful.

Your whole ordeal - from the actual molar pregnancy to the BS you had to endure to get an abortion - is absolutely terrifying. I’m sorry you’ve had such a rough time. And, might I add, you were brave to try again. I’m glad everything worked out with your second daughter.

Same here. I’m a white, heterosexual, married, middle-class woman, and I live near a large metro area. I would have the least problems of anyone getting an abortion, but the thought of an accidental pregnancy still makes me break out in a cold sweat. How much worse must it be for other women?

I had to terminate a pregnancy due to life threatening problem. I had a molar pregnancy, a deformity caused by a problem during conception. In a molar pregnancy the sperm kicks out the egg/mother’s DNA and is essentially a clone of the father. As the mother’s body sees this as a foreign invader it reacts horribly. The…

I am really afraid for the state of abortion rights in this country. I’m a woman of reproductive age who has no desire to reproduce and it’s so scary to know there are so many in power who would gleefully force me and and so many other women to carry to term unwanted, or unviable pregnancies. We cannot. CANNOT. Afford…

I mean, El Salvador is telling women not to get pregnant until 2018, and abortion is illegal there. Women have gone to prison for miscarrying. Add to that hyper-religiosity and lack of access to birth control and reproductive education, and, well ... they might as well tell women to grow wings and fly instead of…

Because preeclampsia isn’t a thing. Nor are ectopic pregnancies.

Don’t forget Joe Walsh, who while campaigning in 2012 said “With modern technology and science, you can’t find one instance (of a woman dying in childbirth)…There’s no such exception as life of the mother. And as far as health of the mother, same thing, with advances in science and technology, health of the mother has…

It just keeps getting clearer that those pro-birth ambulatory megaphones truly just do not care about women. They’d be fine if we just went right ahead and died in the midst of a high-risk pregnancy, carried a non viable fetus to term despite the catastrophic mental anguish, and really who cares if a baby would live a…

That’s something that a lot of this type of “rule changing” seems to forget. In cases like these it is usually a very much wanted pregnancy that’s given rise to the problem. A fatal fetal abnormality is generally not something that you find if you’re not interested in actually having a child. Suddenly being shunted…

Sweet sweet feelings of self righteousness.

Not sure what you point is.

White, well privileged with access to quality health care and support if she became pregnant but also with access to high quality birth control options and a complete inability to empathize or understand that some people may not be so privileged. That’s my guess anyway.

“NO ONE CAN FORCE YOU TO HAVE AN ABORTION. NO ONE — NOT A PARENT, NOT A HUSBAND, NOT A BOYFRIEND — NO ONE.”

Please note Jeb’s concern for the unborn and the vegetative. Not so much the living starving children that are still sadly awaiting help in every state. Help the GOP refuses to provide or even discuss.
