Based on the headline, I thought a pregnant woman was having open-heart surgery, went into labor, and delivered the baby. Based on the article, it sounds like a pregnant woman in need of open-heart surgery was given an emergency c-section prior to open-heart surgery beginning. It's still an amazing story (as any story…

I totally agree! I have one Mormon friend on FB who's also super preachy because she's a convert who just thanked God for the fact that a recent medical bill was like 1/6 what she thought it would be...when that would have been the perfect "Thanks, Obama!" moment. Nope...God totally took his time to lower her health…

As a surly atheist, I get incredibly upset when people thank god when a doctor has just saved them. It wasn't a miracle, says surly atheist.

My mom had my brother that way! Her previous baby—me—was a vaginal delivery without anesthesia. But before you think that the trauma of that delivery forced the later c-section, be aware that she asked to be put under so the doctor could sew up her torn gooch. That's my mom, folks. Can endure the labor and delivery of…

I can't even lather my hair and shave my legs at the same time and this woman...holy crap

Yeah, but one of them is the discarded temporary organ that came out of a uterus, usually via the vagina. I know there are some strange people who might eat it but it will likely not be on a chain restaurant's menu or in a coworker's lunch.

The polenta thing is hilarious but does not surprise me at all, honestly.

He probably did think about the baby. He probably thought about the baby being at daycare.

Agreed. A lot of people may delude themselves into thinking they could never do something like this. But in reality, almost anyone could.

Everything about this story makes me want to just bawl my eyes out. UGH

Huh. All of this sounds familiar… almost as if abortion was illegal/inaccessible once, and innocent women died trying to acquire one, rather than skipping the abortion altogether. But that can't be right, can it? No way Louisiana lawmakers would purposely ignore historical evidence that this exact thing would happen,…

And to your local/regional abortion fund, which can help women with funding to cover the cost of travel, hotels, childcare, etc. as well as the cost of the procedure. http://www.fundabortionnow.org/explore/by_sta…

They aren't reducing abortion, they're restricting access to safe abortion.

Not surprised. Anti-choice=anti-woman.

Hell of a story, though. How's anyone to top that during "never-have-i-ever"?

The No True Scotsman fallacy! Try again.

I posted up In-Apartment Dress Code instructions, reminding him that revealing clothing interrupts my ability to peruse the internet for celebrity gossip and cat videos.

If you hate shameless Daddy Daughter Dance pandering, there are at least a couple of country songs a year you should steer very far clear of, because I Loved Her First is just one of a million other cliche examples.

Keep on keeping on, but sexism is exactly what this is about. No matter how many times you throw out the phrase "professional" everyone is just going to keep pointing out that word doesn't even appear in this poster. Because these excuses you're dragging out have jack shit to do with a school telling women their…
