This hearing shows that women are right in expecting the opposite, men will be harder on us just because we’re women.

Yep. God bless Ann.

While I wholeheartedly support donating to PP, I would like to vent for a moment.

I want some of my taxes to go to that organization as well. The whole point of government is to do for people what people cannot do for themselves.

Eh, Chico’s the product of centuries of livestock breeding to select for animals who want to work with humans. He’s 23, he’s BTDT, and the house experience was probably more like “oohh..... not sure.....strange barn with slippery floors” and his handler was “Look buddy, carrots!” and he was all “SWEET”.

How about some gold d’orsay flats and a nice white silky tee and it's ready for brunch.

People like me ARE doing what we can, but change is slow and sometimes not linear. Merely discussing this as a problem is a massive change from culture just generations ago.

I understand the feeling, but this is no solution at all for the problem of domestic/intimate partner violence. Now that the guy killed three of his exes, he will be locked up for life alright. The important question is, how to prevent this? We know that this kind of violence is highly predictable and follows a well…

Thank you. As an olds, I have a long memory, including my first abortion in the early 70s. I’m staunchly and publicly pro-choice, but just writing “my first abortion” – on a public forum, no less – is something I never thought I would do. I really appreciate and strongly admire you and these other young women who are…

This is how I break it down:

Confessions of a Teenage Abortion Protester
In the mid 1980’s, my White Southern Baptist church was the first in town to begin patrolling at Black Women’s Health clinics. Yes, the word ‘patrol’ is accurate as our paster and older deacons had connections to the John Birch Society, the WCC and the Klan.

Thank you for sharing this. After I got knocked up at an early 20 years & family members told me I’d regret an abortion everyday for the rest of my life and my OBGYN very unprofessionally suggested I keep the pregnancy after I voiced a desire not to. Under all this pressure combined with fear and my naivety, I kept it…

This story could not mean more to me right now. I have always been pro-choice and just this past month my birth control failed, I became pregnant and had to get an abortion just yesterday. I am not sad, I would have had a miscarriage anyway due to health reasons, I just never wanted to have to use that option.…

I had an abortion in 2000, when my oldest was only 2 and I was only 21. There was no way I could afford another child as I was between jobs and already a single mom. My super religious born again brother and his wife begged me not to, and asked to adopt the child. I couldn’t do that, I am not strong enough to carry a…

Nobody asks a woman why they chose to continue a pregnancy, even though that’s often a more emotionally, physically, and financially taxing decision. An abortion needs no more justification than “I don’t want to be pregnant” just like a pregnancy needs no more justification than “I want to bear a child”.

My response to the haters trying to silence me for sharing my story.

To this day my abortion was the best decision I ever made 10/10 would do again + the drugs are boss

I know we’ve kinda forgotten everything since before the advent of twitter, but www.imnotsorry.net has been collecting abortion stories since 2003. It might not have been updated in a while, but there are hundreds of positive abortion stories there.

I love and cherish my dismiss button and use it with Jezebel pride.

Oh, and brace yourselves, everyone, they’re already here.
