No, you’re not pro-choice. You are, however, a troll. Nice try.

Really? A sentence is now a lecture, as opposed to your self-righteous tirade? I’m delighted that Washington state offers access to abortions for low income women, but they are in the extreme minority. For every one woman in this country who has access to a publicly funded abortion, there are many more who lack access…

My guess would be the clinic would pay for the abortion through non federal funds and justify it as a cost of avoiding litigation. Which, you know, brings up another point — how often does this shit happen at Planned Parenthood? All these outraged conservatives want to pull PP’s funding and what? Transfer it to…

Rarely. Your experience is unusual; even when STATE (note, a state government is different from the US government) funds are technically available for abortion, they’re often not usable in a practical sense. https://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/… So way to be pedantic with your privilege.

The US government doesn’t hand out free abortions on the basis of financial need. PLEASE educate yourself on this issue — “using our tax dollars to pay for abortions” is a common lie told by the anti-choice movement.

Isn’t this true of everyone who sells out a theatre, though? It wouldn’t happen if lots of people didn’t pay for tickets. And shows have been selling out since long before cameras and video recorders became ubiquitous, so your point here is obscure.

Poor home training. It’s epidemic. I think it all started with VCRs. When you couldn’t just buy a copy of a performance and rewind it over and over, you had to shut the fuck up and pay attention when it happened.

I’m sorry, but the entry date for trolls has passed. If you’d like to be pointlessly hostile in another thread, please keep in mind the limited time for participation. Thank you for your interest.

What does this even mean? It’s a total non sequitur.

A couple of decades ago, a young couple met in a college drama class. She was a city girl, bright and driven, from a family of educated people. He was from a rural family, the first to go to college. The girl went on to a top law school, mixing with the political elite while her husband worked at a grocery store, a…

My mom would say this, with a helpful mnemonic “Pictures are hung, E, but people are hanged.”

Or, you know, he was a total dick to his wife, ignoring her needs and forcing her to be celibate while he enjoyed the technically legal attentions of other women. And then when she sought companionship and affection from someone else, he dived into an affair with one of his groupies.

I think those of us who didn’t grow up with air conditioning understand the problem. When you live with the ambient temperature as it rises from 50 to 60 to 70, you acclimate. 77 is not so hot when you get there gradually. And even if it’s a sudden rise from 50 to 70(as happens some years), you learn to tolerate it in…

Lissa, sweetie, this article and its comments are not all about you. Although I agree with your underlying point, I don’t feel the need to address your situation or moderate my tone in every single post. Stop personaliZing this discussion.

Important note: I’m not calling you fat, I’m just reflecting how little tolerance society has for even the EXISTENCE of overweight women, much less accommodating their temperature preferences. Asking for the air to be turned up (or for a larger office chair or for a staff t-shirt in a size over M) is just inviting…

I wasn’t making fun of morbidly obese people either. I was pointing out that it shouldn’t fall to the rest of one’s office to be miserable so YOU can feel nice. And can you imagine an overweight WOMAN taking the stand you have? There are lots of commenters saying they like cooler temps, but none of them are saying…

There are all kinds of things you can do to deal with hot flashes that do not involve forcing your coworkers to live in a meat locker. Seriously, there’s nothing worse than having your face on fire and your toes numb. You suck on ice, have a small fan, all kinds of things.

So, just to be clear here, you think you’re entitled to crank the air conditioning in your office to 40 degrees below the ambient temperature AND your coworkers should have to use additional power to keep themselves warm enough to work.

So you live in a cold climate, right? You don’t live in Phoenix and insist on lowering your indoor temperature 50 degrees?

You do realize that being unable to tolerate 76 degrees makes it impossible for you to live on like 95% of the planet, right? So either you’ve evolved past life on Earth or you’re just being a baby.
