Probably, but that's such a dangerous way to go - then your employer would have to have access to (private!) medical information about you to determine whether you are using the pills for God-approved purposes.

There is no strictly legal argument. The argument is 'waaaa I think women are dirty sluts and my first amendment right to think that supersedes their right to NOT think that, and their right to be treated equally under the law.'

Thank goodness I'm having a reconstructionist Jewish wedding this weekend. 91 guests is already too many to handle... 25,000 would have me hiding in the bridal suite and stuffing my face with cupcakes.

This is the best explanation I've ever seen of this. Thank you! I really, honestly, could not figure out how their minds worked.

It took me 6 years post-college to land my dream job, and it's not even close to what I thought my dream job was (lawyer) when I graduated! Shit changes, you go with it, and sometimes your hard work does eventually pay off. That's all I've got.

Also a totally valid reason.

To be fair, a cow is the reason I'm no longer a vegetarian. I know that's a little backwards, but one of them lumbered out from under a bridge and spooked a young horse I was working with and undid weeks of training trying to get her over that stupid bridge. I went home and had a hamburger for dinner that night.

ITT: Learned that I will not only be hiding my labor from my entire family (Mr. Maiden excluded), but that I may be hiding the entire pregnancy from them as well. They can meet the kid before it goes off to college. Surprise!

We had a strict "If you weren't there for the conception, you aren't allowed in the delivery room without a medical license" policy.

My 17hh Hanoverian is absolutely, out of his mind TERRIFIED of ponies. Herds of deer popping out of nowhere? Gunshots behind us? Idiots riding bicycles with dogs tied to them? Nothing. Shetland pony two fields over? GETMETHEFUCKOUTOFHEREWE'REALLGOINGTODIE!

Mr.Maiden and I were not *quite* ready to adopt a dog yet because I was worried about our work schedules and having free time and stuff, but I saw a picture of my great white lug snuggling a teeny puppy and I wanted all those squishy-faced snuggles for myself and now we have a dog and it's been a slight adjustment,…

I'm in DC too and we're a "business casual" non-profit. Our lobbyist/lawyer types are always super well-dressed, but the rest of us definitely cover a range. I love maxi dresses. Maxi dresses with flip flops for the weekend, or a cardigan and nicer sandals for work. Looooove maxi dresses.

Well if you think about it, increased abortions should actually mean LESS school shootings, because there are fewer wee precious babies to shoot, right? Abortions for all!!

Oh it's definitely a Friday kind of thing. Then you can have people over on the weekend without having to wake up early to frantically clean and there's even more time to heat up some Friday's appetizers and pass them off as your own.

Right on. As soon as we bought a house, the first thing my fiance and I did was hire a maid service. They come twice a month, and maybe I'm just conflating shit here, but I may love them almost as much as I love my fiance.

But wouldn't the spark and the gun (cocoa?) powder melt the chocolate, thereby spraying hot chocolate sauce all over the intended victim and potentially burning them?? I'm thinking this was not a very well thought out proposal...

I just rewatched Bridesmaids last night, mainly so I could listen to this song in the final wedding scene. But this really sounds like someone's grandfather singing into a hairbrush. Ugh, gramps, go back to your WWII memories and your gin and leave Wilson Phillips alone...
