I have a genetic disorder. It’s autosomal dominant, meaning that there are no carriers; you either have it or you don’t. It’s 50% likely that I could pass it on to any offspring I have and either a girl or a boy is equally likely to get it.

FUCK THIS.

Usually, although in Texas, so many clinics have closed thanks to idiotic new laws, it’s taking at least month to get an appointment for an abortion. So a lot more second trimester abortions are happening here than did before.

I’m sorry. I had one at about 9 weeks for a blighted ovum, but fortunately wasn’t in danger. My subsequent pregnancy we had markers for genetic defects that fortunately turned out to be nothing. I think a lot of people don’t realize that an amnio doesn’t happen until 15-18 weeks, and the 20 week ultrasound that…

Generally speaking, yes. The 20-week ultrasound is when testing for a bunch of genetic anomalies occurs.

I’m really sorry about your miscarriage.

Yeah, I can only donate $10 or $20 at a time, but I try to do it as much as possible. And then of course you have Amazon Smile where you can set it up for a tiny percentage of your purchase to go to Planned Parenthood.

This makes me so fucking furious her stupid fucking face. FUCK.

#1. So sorry for your loss.

As someone who, along with his partner, had to make the difficult decision to terminate a pregnancy when we learned of a defect that meant the baby wouldn’t make it to term, much less take a breath, FUCK YOU, NIKKI and FUCK YOU, GOP. You’d rather we have carried a pregnancy to term, watching her stomach grow, knowing…

If enough of us lame-os donate enough lame-ass $10's to Planned Parenthood and write our Congresspeople, it actually ends up making a huge difference.

This shit gets even more frustrating after watching the most recent segments on Samantha Bee’s show about abortion and the religious right. This is an issue that christian conservatives pulled out of thin air in order to cling to relevancy and it’s literally killing women.

Amen, friend. Amen.

For someone who is saying she wants nothing to do with a Trump presidency, someone sure seems to be teeing herself up to appeal to the base fundamentalist voters. Maybe she thinks that her chance at the big dance is in 4 years?

Yeah dressing professional with big boobs is a struggle because high necklines make your boobs look bigger, and regular necklines and have accidental cleavage at any moment.

I am so sorry that happened to you. People are the WORST.

A lot of people think you need to get a lawyer and sue, but actually making an EEOC complaint is really easy, and they will investigate for you: https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/howt… I have done it, and although nothing came of it, I at least felt a little less helpless. And it sounds like you have witnesses, which I…

Ellie is this your gentle way of telling me to stop sitting at my desk in the nude with a beach towel padding my chair or what

OH MY GOD SAME!! I call it being “accidentally cute”

THIS. I have never been what anyone would call well-dressed, but I either wear nice jeans & a nice top, or a dress, because skirts that squeeze your belly all day are for the birds (and who has time to match TWO THINGS). I buy my winter tights a size too big, and throw an over-sized sweater over a dress. It’s…
