The guy’s given name is fucking Daystar and he goes by Tory? He is not good at names.

I wonder how much of the variation is due to provider experience. My IUD insertion was... fine. They told me to take a max dose of advil 2 hours ahead and it was uncomfortable but tolerable. In some of the horror stories I’ve heard, it sounds like some folks have gone to their GPs to get them (?) or maybe gynos, but…

Yeah, like why is there so much focus on the drama of their fight? The question is whether he shot her, not why. As someone said above, she clearly didn’t shoot herself. Who cares what they were fighting about?

I keep getting the “We’ve made a difficult decision (about where to spend our campaign money and it wouldn’t be difficult if you sent us some too)“ “Due in 30 minutes!” “Disaster!” “Goodbye [name]”and “What can we do to get you to donate?” and it’s like Stop texting me every six hours for a start! “Are you sick of me…

What in the world makes you think they weren’t also pursuing action against the perpetrators? you don’t have to deny someone an abortion to prosecute incest.

Yeah, if they weren’t doing exactly this, they’d get blowback for not taking it seriously enough. This is probably the more damage-limiting way to go
