Oh I call bullshit. I'm with pantsless over there. It's like running on a treadmill - you're not actually GOING anywhere, but you're covering the miles.

An accurate Republican slogan wouldn't be "End abortions!" it would be "Increase forced births!" Afterall, if women aren't forced to carry brain dead fetuses to term, where will the Republican party get its future voters?

I'm in DC but it's a short bus ride to NY. Can I be friends with you guys too?!??

I can't understand the people who think abortion is murder, but when you present them with the FACT that outlawing abortions WILL NOT reduce the number of abortions - it will only cause more women to DIE along with those fetuses and cell clusters - they still mulishly refuse to accept reality. Or the fact that we do…

Everyone thinks I'm weird, but I honestly prefer day-old cold mac n' cheese (kraft only, duh) to a fresh pot.

Well, I mean, what else are they going to do with their time? Fix the budget? Create jobs? Reform immigration? I mean, come on.

"For birth control, you have to have a pelvic exam as well and that raises the rate a lot."

Because that's what they want. They want women to die from illegal abortions so that the rest of us sluts will learn that our only place in life is in the kitchen and breeding.

I know, right? I mean, if you get rid of chemotherapy, people stop getting cancer. So if you outlaw abortion, people will totally stop having unwanted pregnancies...

Gaaah I would punch one of those people in the face. These conscience clauses some states are trying to pass drive me up the fucking wall. How fucking DARE someone think their convoluted sense of morality gives them the right to interfere with MY health care and MY private medical relationship with my doctor??

Of course. Because then they can call it god's will. Stupid slut deserved to die... (even though we caused it)

Ooh I'm an ex-Texan in MD too! I miss Austin and wish all the liberals there the best, but there's something to be said for being treated like an actual first class citizen...

Ohh this makes my heart and stomach and everything hurt. Is it getting media attention down there? What about writing about it for Jezebel, posting it on Reddit and maybe trying to get some sort of international human rights watch group involved?

My understanding was they used the technicality that she wasn't allowed to address any legislator in particular - she was just supposed to address her remarks to the body as a whole. But obviously they were just looking to shut her up.

If you haven't seen it yet, watch this:

Yes, I think so. He's from a wealthy family. I assumed it was a wealthy person thing for a long time. But I still don't understand the point of the game and can find many, many other, more fun things to do with balls.

Mr. Maiden (poor dude - I should have picked a better username) and I make almost 3 times the median US household income, own a nice though by no-means extravagant home, have disposable income and 401ks and even knowing that we're financially better off than a lot of people our age, I am STILL terrified at the…

My husband is forever trying to get me to play bocce ball, but I don't understand the point. I'd rather just repeatedly kick his ass in cornhole or ping pong or something.
