Makes me want to tear my hair out. Like do they really think women use late-term abortions as birth control? Do they think they’re so special that other pregnant women might not have fetuses that develop genetic abnormalities? It’s just outrageous that some people lack empathy for others or are so committed to…

Same here - I live in a blue state and am not sexually active, but I’m also not willing to risk a pregnancy in TrumpPence’s America. Originally I asked for a hysterectomy, doctor said no, the compromise was an IUD with a good chance of making my periods go away. A week after the election I got my IUD and informed both…

Former patient of Dr. Tiller’s here. I really don’t know what my life would be like today without him and his clinic. Thank you for bringing this documentary to my attention!

fundamental attribution error: when I do something wrong, it’s because of circumstances, when you do something wrong, it’s because of poor character.

Maybe starting a Lyft-like service for women seeking abortions would be just as helpful? People - who are somehow vetted - volunteer to drive and stay with the women, etc.

The other part of this that aggravates me is that I can’t bring up this story in family conversation. All of the middle aged people in my extended family are conservative and most of them are also evangelical. If they’re talking about social issues at a family gathering and someone says something about abortion, I…

So much of this. I have a super conservative cousin who was pregnant a few years ago and around the 6th month, they found out the fetus had a severe genetic abnormality. They were told that there was about an 80% the fetus would not make it to term and that if the baby was born, people with this condition almost…

I was going to say, it’s a great thing Donald Trump can’t read because he’d think that book was filled with great ideas (mostly the idea of getting an extra pussy to grab).

The interview Jia conducted with the woman who got an abortion at 32 weeks was hands down the best thing I’ve read on this site (2nd best was the article about mozz sticks...)

Are you an actual idiot, or do you just play one on the internet?

In addition to harassing this doctor, Marsha and her gang of Skooby Doo wannabes have harassed and intimidated researchers performing legal, potentially life-saving research using fetal tissue. Eugene Gu is one of them. They sent a goon squad into his home without a warrant to “look for evidence”, and the negative…

I haven’d had sex in years, and I live in NY, but this afternoon I have a gyno appointment to discuss an IUD.

Yep. If you’re a billionaire (or whatever Donald is), going to another state for an abortion is trivial. For many people, it’s an insurmountable obstacle.

So.. being an MRA seems voluntary (e.g. no one’s forced me to be one yet). I would guess that a very logical consequence of proclaiming oneself an MRA is celibacy. Then how does this become involuntary? (Hoping this causes a slight backward tip of the fedora and a stroke of the neckbeard as this logical argument is…

Giving him the tiniest benefit of the doubt (that he has no semblance of self awareness, that is), you’d think that after two other ex-girlfriends having abobos (and now this), he should finally be having a “Maybe I’m the problem” moment of clarity. Sadly that would require even an iota of self awareness.

He’s been obsessive about having kids since he was a young man. It doesn’t seem to be too terribly common in men, you usually see it more with women, I think because our society teaches that women need to have kids to be fulfilled, while men are generally not taught that. I read about his exes, I think it was in his…

That’s one of the sillier “movements” I’ve heard of. Aside from a lucky few, most of us humans have stretches of not having sex when we wish we were.

Should I start calling myself “involuntarily not wealthy”?

There’s a pretty stringent screening process for adoptions. Just based on this story alone, I’m guessing this guy hits pretty much all of the “Don’t give this guy a baby,” flags in their system.

Ugh this whole thing is such a pile of WTF. If this guy wants a kid so bad, why can’t he just adopt one? Or, if he’s so desperate for a biological one, get a surrogate and an egg donor! There is NO reason for him to be doing this other than to be an insufferable, controlling asshole.
