I have to ask this:
If the intent is to show that the teenager isn't of sound mind/capable mind to decide the fate of a fetus, isn't it equally as easy, if not easier, to argue that the same teenager isn't capable of raising a child?
So...how long does anyone want to bet it would take one of these cases to come to hearing once requested? "Oh, I'm sorry, we got you in the earliest we could...what, you delivered three weeks ago? Oh darn. The system works."
Remember, every woman of reproductive age who still has her uterus/ovaries should be considered "pre-pregnant" at all times. Weekly pregnancy tests should be mandatory. No smoking, drinking, eating problematic foods for you! Get your daily vitamins administered at the Ministry of Wombs. You think you are a person who…
So what is the plan for determining that someone is unfit for abortion? Will the state summon people to testify about how irresponsible the girl is and how she's a huge slut? If so, how does that make her unfit for an abortion (if anything it sounds like she'd be a better candidate for one if this were the case)?

The artist posted images of her new tattoo — a claw poised in the "Little Monster" hand sign as a tribute to her fans.
Yay for men from classic Hollywood! We always focus on old iconic bombshells like Marilyn Monroe but forget about the heartthrobs. You can have young Newman (who I like too) and I'll have young Brando. Granted, Newman aged way more gracefully than Brando did. But still... fully clothed or not, even Brando's most…
Or instead of taking the most facile possible reading of that comment, you could maybe interpret it as saying that she started to like Dunham because she is talking about a traumatic, shameful event with dignity and restraint—and her discussion of her own trauma, shame, and process of overcoming shame could actually…
I absolutely despised Lena Dunham, mostly due to her writing. I hate her protaganists and it's clear she puts a lot of herself into her characters, so I made the uniformed decision that I hate her just as much. And she says really ignorant, adolescent, and entitled things on media junkets and wears outfits that are…
Did I just start to like Lena Dunham? Watch out for flying pigs.
If all college hooks up are non-consensual, then yes, I guess that would be true. Sorry if the insistence on consensual sex is really sad for you!
You know how you sometimes will be wondering if people like you, or if you matter. They don't and you don't. The world would be better without you.
I dislike Lena Dunham as much as the next person, but can we please have the courtesy to believe her story and sympathize?
I'm so glad she came forward and shared her story. The more people that share their stories and raise awareness, the more society will be forced to face this issue.
