Epidurals have to be done in a hospital by anesthesia techs (CRNAs) or anesthesiologists. Not every woman wants or gets an epidural, because there are downsides (slower labor, limitations on birth position) that many want to avoid. A lot of midwives and birth centers offer alternatives like hypnosis during or birth…

True. Say what you will about Scalia, but he was incredibly intelligent. I hate and deeply disagree with his opinions, but they’re very interesting to read and well argued.

I was so fucking confused by that line of questioning. Older conservative men usually understand EXACTLY what insurance is and then condescendingly explain it in the process of telling me why we should all have catastrophic healthcare plans and pay maintenance out of pocket “just like car insurance”.

I’m so confused by how these things happen. My father is a total gun nut, and I was NEVER EVER EVER in a position where I could have gotten a hold of a weapon as child. How are these people so “into” guns and so lax with gun safety?

Yeah...

Looks like “The Five Year Engagement".

Trump’s success doesn’t mean as much about his actual stances as it does that the primary political lean of most Republican voters is just anti-establishment. They hate Hillary far more than Sanders just because she’s what Trump isn’t and what ever other “good” candidate is: polished and political. They’d pick Sanders…

Good for them. I really deeply regret changing my name.

The morning after pill is basically the equivalent of taking a bunch of birth control pills a once. It can stop ovulation, but once ovulation has happened it has no effect. Your uterine lining has been prepping already at that point (especially in this case, as another commenter pointed out this woman had been taking…

I am very confused about why a person would take the morning after pill if they had been implanted with an embryo already.... if you have the embryo in there already, a medical or surgical abortion is your only option if it implants successfully.

Wasn’t there a story a few months back that got a bunch of press about the time she dropped some cats off at the shelter in a cardboard box and was really rude to the workers there about it? They turned out to have been her partner’s cats, but it just didn’t sound like she was a very cool or together person...

Some women get so impassioned about this issue, too. I cannot believe the number of women I know who passionately argue against wrapping and trashing their menstrual products on the grounds of “ew”.

I’m actually in almost the same boat as you, and we’re planning on having my IUD removed in less than a year. I keep joking that every time they go to remove it, I’m going to freak out and stop them. Creating a person is a big decision. I’m kind of okay with the fact that it’s scary and hard to plan for and involves a…

These discussions are always so focused on ourselves. Pregnancy by definition involves multiple people (a partner in reproduction who also consents to becoming a parent, a future child). Creating a whole new human being shouldn’t be a matter of “whoops”, and there’s no reason to be nostalgic about a time when it more…

We should be very worried about drug resistance. Gonorrhea is rapidly acquiring it, and there are people that predict in another decade it’s going to require a hospital stay for IV antibiotics.

I know educated people think we’re past the stage of thinking a handshake will transmit HIV, but people are still fucking morons. A girl in my CNA certification course proudly and repeatedly announced that she would NEVER feed or assist a person with HIV no matter how many times we explained how transmission of the…

I’m scared.

My husband and I live in separate states 75% of the time. I rejoice to know that he’s not just sitting at home alone. I don’t care who he’s with as long as they’re not committing any felonies.

He in no way said that guns were an “urban” problem. He said that the desires of his constituents in a mostly rural state made his stances on gun policy different than the stances of people like O’Malley and Clinton.
