I am so happy about new Prudence. She is so awesome.

I think it would be a different place. Women would be able to seek the healthcare they need without politicians and protestors standing in their way. That sounds like a better world to me.

So you're going to force any man who impregnates a woman to marry her? How exactly is that going to work?

I think name-dropping God unnecessarily is what makes her a conservative.

What's your plan for forcing the man to stick around and help out the woman, then?

But despite having insurance, stuff happens. It's the same deal with birth control.

And when the hurricane damages your beach home, it is well within your rights to fix it. It might be a little costly, but no one is forcing you to keep the broken windows broken.

I can live with that.

Just one more reason I'm glad I'm a lesbian.

And in some cases you didn't even choose to have sex.

Leave it on his doorstep in a basket.

Or scatter the ashes around his house!

He probably doesn't approve of premarital sex, period or otherwise.

And the thing is, people can’t make the argument that drunk consent is actual consent in this case, seeing as she was unconscious.

I remember an article a few years back (no idea where) that compared the headlines about white rapists to the headlines about black police victims. It's just disgusting. You're a thug even if you did absolutely nothing wrong, but you're wronged if you assault someone.

I will allow them "no one wins here," but only because his conviction doesn't un-rape her. But seriously?

Exactly. Even if she consented enthusiastically when they left the party together, she was unconscious.

I understand why survivors wouldn't want to have people writing about them, but it would be nice if journalists would treat them as though they, too, are humans. Nobody laments that an athlete or an honors student was thrown off course because someone attacked her.

Also, in In Cold Blood, they don't make it sound like the Clutters deserved to be killed. And they don't deny the facts that the murderers actually murdered someone.

Nobody's saying that. But if you're convicted of armed robbery, the articles probably aren't going to say "He was a once-promising athlete until he was accused of armed robbery."
