90% of couples problems come down to bad communication. I made that number up, but my point stands.

Seriously, it’s like this every summer in Edinburgh (Scotland) as the news folks go nuts over whether or not the panda conceived (usually by in vitro).

Of course, once this passes, there will be lots of legislation and funding to assist the families who have been forced to birth a child with disabilities for which they are perhaps not capable of caring/coping/etc. Otherwise, that would just be cruel to both the families and the children.

Can someone be placed under psychiatric observation based on a picture? Someone needs to take hold of that woman and pull her back into the firm embrace of reality.

That brief moment when the internet actually makes me happy

Be thankful that eyeballs can't really shoot death lasers.

You are thunderously dumb.

Uh, plenty of parents are pro-choice.

pro-lifer babies can become pro-choicers... I mean if you think about it, all the world’s evil probably came from pro-lifers, as they’re clearly the only ones having babies

Anyone else read this article today?

Definitely not the only one. I’m so weird and uptight the only time I know I’m being flirted is after we’ve walked away and the person I’m with says, “they were flirting with you!” and I’m like “huh?”.

Hey all! Thank you so much for the support last week as I stressed about my impending move. I’m now in the new place and, while the worst of it all is done, I’m really struggling with unpacking. I just get so overwhelmed that I can only get through a box or two before I have to stop and take a break. Any suggestions…

A very intelligent commenter upthread talked at length about how sexual agency is viewed differently in men and women by far too many people, and I’m afraid that perception extended to her own son in the eyes of the justice system as well. He was used to bait a child into sex with an adult. If he’d been her daughter…

Well, they truck in Catholic school students who participate for “extra credit”.

We aren’t. Those people are just really loud and people take PP and the right to abortion and access to birth control for granted. In the 90s I had arguments with pro-choice friends who shrugged off voting for Republicans because they believed abortion would never actually be banned. But here we are and all those…

I could possiby not be alive if planned parenthood’s cheap and easy health screenings and facilities hadn’t been available to me and caught the advancing cirvical cancer inside of me. FUCK anyone who wants to take this away from needy-deserving people.

And that some of the men have pressured women into having abortions, or at the very least enthusiastically supported their choice to have one. The only moral abortion is my abortion. Every damned time.

Hey, maybe he WAS asking for it. But 15-year-olds will also ask for a houseful of free-roaming venomous scorpions as pets, or ask for permission to go base jumping with bank robbers dressed as luchadors. But as goddamn ADULTS, we recognize that CHILDREN will very often ask for things THEY SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN.

Using your kid to pick up your rape victims? Gross isn't a gross enough word to describe it. Sentence is definitely not appropriate.

She's sure as shit doing a bang up job of it. :|
