But every pregnancy center is run by different organizations; they aren't a national organization like Planned Parenthood. I don't disagree that some maybe extreme and perhaps give misinformation. But I have known quite a few that were legitimately helpful. Had licsenced social workers on duty to talk to some really…

I am sorry but not all crisis pregnancy centers are giving misinformation to manipulate women into keeping their pregnancies. It greatly depends on who is running it. I have volunteered at a few when I was in college and they ran mostly as centers to give resources to underprivileged women in getting free prenatal…

It isn't even really worth working in some areas when you take in account daycare costs and commuting costs. Maybe not for one kid but if you have two under two years of age, you are paying close to 3000 a month for daycare. What do you do?

I think you are being a bit dismissive. I think most would be wondering how sex would work if their partner came and told them that their main sexual organ was going away. I am not saying that certain people couldn't make it work over time. But I really find it mindblowing that the wife was so willing to change her…

I am happy that your parents worked it out but I guess I feel like the wife wouldn't be selfish in not accepting her spouse's change right away. I am glad they are doing well but man... she must be the exception in being automatically accepting.

I read the article but the wife is giving up something huge and it was a loss of the sex life she had. Even though she loves Laura, she probably wasn't expecting to be in a lesbian relationship. I just don't understand how she could immediately come around even though she loved her partner.

I don't really understand how his- now her wife could just be ok with that right away. I assume she will have surgery to get the right anatomy and that means the wife will not be able to have anymore children or have anal or penetrative sex naturally anymore. It would be a huge issue for me as I value my sex life.

I think this is one of the backlashes of people waiting much later to have kids and are on a better financial footing. Licensed daycares completely charge more for those people because they can afford it and the entire market price for licensed daycares go up. My mom had three kids in Silicon Valley in the early 90's…

I was just watching Diane Sawyer on ABC News and she said there was a report of two deaths and several horrifically injured but no other media source is reporting this so I hope this isn't the case and the injuries aren't that bad!

I assume that they are marketing to women who are trying to conceive and use pregnancy tests monthly 1-2 weeks after ovulation, not trying to promote unprotected sex or oops moments.

3 years seems like a lot longer than most studies I have read that most women go back to their originalish weight 6-12 months after giving birth. I think the real issue is that hips become permanently bigger and breasts change, often forever, as well as rib cages... clothes just don't fit the same. But with exercise…

I can see why Cher might not be happy with Chaz. He seems to have some real anger issues and has said some pretty nasty things about his mom publicly. She can be for his transformation but not for the way he is carrying himself and treating others.

Wasn't Melissa Joan Hart already in a rom-com in the 90's with that guy from Entourage?

And you have been a regular commenter for quite a while! I don't understand this system. I understand putting burner accounts in pending but why regular commenters?

I am super confused as why my posts are not showing up. I have been a commenter for over 2 years.... Is it my browser?

I don't know.. I know some women and men for that matter that have a lot of ease being caretakers. I have had friends who have been full-time nannies and loved every minute of it and it was a stress-free job. I have done a lot of babysitting and childcare and I think caring for a child that is not your own is…

I think it is more an issue of tone. In real life, I don't like to make assumptions on how a woman feels about her pregnancy, so I don't use terms like baby or fetus or it, I just refer to her pregnancy.

Can you put your posts on limited profile? So only certain groups of people can see them? People you know who would appreciate them?

Why must every celebrity baby story follow up with "she is carrying her fetus" or something to that extent. It seems overly technical and sort of dismissive. For most wanted pregnancies, woman are not referring to their fetuses as such and instead are calling them babies, especially at the 6 month/almost third…

I don't believe the Book of Judith is part of the protestant bible and if Perry grew up in the protestant church, perhaps that went right over his head?
