I gave my dog vaccines. He grew up never even learning to talk. He poops outside in public. He refuses to wear pants. He can’t read or write.

Our legal code reflects our moral beliefs. Moreover, lots of people rationally believe abortion is murder in some cases (i.e., post viability). But, these same people may also rationally believe that late term abortion is an acceptable balancing of rights (woman versus unborn fetus), which makes it justifiable…

It is impossible to have it both ways because there are zealots. As someone who went through almost *exactly what the woman interviewed went through, I can tell you that there are a number of women, like her ( and like me), whose babies are discovered clearly not to be viable in any meaningful way late in pregnancy,…

What is your definition of viable? Capable of surviving birth only to die hours later in pain? Weeks later? Capable of breathing but with no higher level brain activity? 10% chance of survival? 5%? Does the definition change for a mother that has her own health risks and doesn’t want to die for a child that will be…

This is what late-term abortions are. If we vote for politicians who outlaw late-term abortions, this is what we are outlawing. When we outlaw late-term abortions, we are forcing a woman who very much wants to be a mother to either give birth to a baby only to watch her child die in pain, or forcing her to wait for…

This is the situation you should consider.

I created this account so that I could say, “Me, too.” Every single word. Trisomy 18 (with unrelated complications) that wasn’t discovered until after the legal cutoff date (in Texas, where I’m from). The same miserable situation; the same scramble for cash, the same horrible shot - the same overwhelming gratitude…

Your username is referencing an animal that presumably murdered a toddler, and you’re calling Jia unprofessional.

*tap on shoulder*

I don’t believe he’s ever said anything negative about trans people, exactly, but did have a habit of using the word “tranny” some years ago. (I’m a huge fan of his. I think that because he’s an advice columnist and because of his particular style of writing, it’s incredibly easy to take his words out of context and…

Yes. People were talking about him calling out Bryan Singer and the nasty attitude towards Colton Haynes’ coming out but I thought his “blind” outing (the blogs figured it out pretty quickly) was beyond the pale. Not to mention that Galvin recounted the tale by berating the outed kid for not being sure about the…

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

Without delving into the specifics of abortion, the premise that the definition of murder cannot be contingent on circumstance is flat out wrong. Practically every legal code delineates different types of killing by considering the circumstance. Intent murder is different than intentional manslaughter is different…

Thank you Jia. I am 35 and currently 31 weeks pregnant. As soon as I read about the cost and the roof, I was going to find a way to donate to him. I already donate regularly to Women’s Medical Fund because access to abortion is a basic human right. I am pretty amazed that being pregnant with my wanted baby has made me…

Dear interviewee:

Thank you for this, Jia. And thank you to this woman for bravely sharing her story. This is why the next election is so vital. Remember, the president doesn’t just appoint Supreme Court justices, but federal judges as well. We need pro-choice judges to block the insane restrictions that are being passed and we need…

I’m in awe of this woman’s strength. A week ago we went in for our ten week sonogram and found out our baby had no heartbeat. It’s just the shittiest news, and the waiting for your body to respond is excrutiating. Making a baby is such an emotional roller coaster; it’s so tough when it’s seemingly so easy for so many…

I have never loved any reply of yours more than I do this one right now.

fuck off

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
