Remember, it’s only whorishness if poor, unmarried women want an abortion. If an upper class young lady wants one, it’s because she’s “made a mistake.” But they can also fly her off to wherever to get an abortion, so really all this law is doing is screwing poor people even more.

Now, to be fair, they only let 73-year-olds run around pretending to be cops if the 73-year-old gives them a fuckton of money.

Yes. If you recall, Savita Halappanavar was denied the procedure in Ireland due to a still-detectable fetal heartbeat while she was miscarrying. The forced wait killed her.

Yes, septic shock is the disadvantage. It can kill you: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/19/wor…

That’s because teaching is a thankless, low paying job that’s looked down upon by most of the populace. We (minorities) want to make money and move up the socioeconomic ladder and you can’t do that if you become a teacher. The only type of teacher I would consider becoming would be a college professor because they…

The church was deemed tax-exempt by the IRS in 1993

Actual footage of the representatives:

This is what pisses me off about hypoChristians. They can dish it out (PUT GOD BACK IN SCHOOLS, LET US PRAY AT COMMENCEMENT, BLAH BLAH JESUS) but they can’t take it. You want religion allowed in the public sphere, fine, but don’t act like whiny babies when it’s not your personal one.

Jesus would be pretty pissed about the whole Christian public prayer thing that they usually do before every session, given that whole speech he gave specifically prohibiting it. I doubt he’d be very concerned about what one Wiccan did, and more concerned about how most of his followers are getting his message so…

God I love when they’re all directly confronted with what inclusion means. If you’re gonna let one religion in, you have to let them all!

There is so much bullshit about this case. One of the things that bothers me is the claim that she bought misoprostol off the Internet to induce an abortion. That shit only works until week nine. She was too far along in her pregnancy for that.

“I will have to get better at holding my tongue and holding my temper,” he added.

See, if he were a female candidate, the recurring themes in media would be ‘is she too PMS-y, bitchy, emotional, hard-edged or fill-in-the-blank to be president?’

See? Men are just TOO emotional to be president. What if he gets into a spiteful bad mood and launches nukes or something? Men have such delicate feelings and just can’t control them, the poor dears.

I think the majority of women that have these procedures are doing so after finding out something is wrong with the pregnancy (oftentimes a very wanted pregnancy). For example, if you see something wrong on your first trimester ultrasound (13 weeks) and have an amniocentesis done (16-18 weeks), you are probably 19…

That woman in the middle? Is the very picture of my internal rage.

Same. My parents aren’t super conservative, but tend to inch ever more so as they get older. When I was pregnant, my dad made some sort of anti-abortion comment in conversation. I had to stop him and say, “actually, dad, now that I am pregnant I am even MORE in support of a woman’s right to choose. This is not easy;…

I’ve found in my work (and personal life) that even if bans like this don’t specifically address miscarriage, oftentimes providers will shy away from performing the procedures as a precaution. No one wants to open themselves up to inquiry or investigation and there are countless examples of people using…

As a now pregnant person (who admittedly was 100% for living, sentient humans getting to make their own medical decisions without government involvement before being a pregnant person), I struggle even more with women who have been pregnant and men who have lived with pregnant women who don’t then realize the…

I had a D&E for a miscarriage. Seriously, when I see WOMEN smiling and supporting this shit it just makes me want to simultaneously cry and punch a wall.
