By somehow turning “learned” and “educated” into negatives.

I hate how the “age of information” turned out to be “the age of propaganda, lies, zero fact checking, and science/media/general illiteracy”.

When the internet happened.

By defunding education over and over again.

I am so, so sick of people thinking their opinions somehow invalidate objective, empirical facts. When did we get to this place where lies so quickly bury actual reality, and how the hell do we make it stop?

That’s an excellent piece. Related: those “x week baby” figures that religious anti-choicers use to teach kids about the evils of abortion make me so angry that I don’t even have the right words to use. Take a fucking biology class. Oh, I’m sorry. They teach evolution in biology? Clearly it’s the devil’s work…

A fetus isn’t a kid. It’s not a child. It’s not a baby. Most abortions happen when it’s little more than a blood clot to be flushed away. Your coercive sentimentality is just that, nothing more. Abortion has been around before the GOP, it will be after, the bible never mentions abortion, and some religions think it’s…

Omg. Im fucking done with this conversation already. Fuck that noise.

An abortion isnt killing. So. Theres that, Dad.

I get to decide whether or not I continue a pregnancy going on in my own body, so yes, I do get to end a parasitic relationship I don’t want to be in. Your fantasy of forcing women to be genetic mothers is disgusting, shameful, and telling.

People keep bringing up this “option.” If I wanted an abortion, I would want only that. I would not consent to having a fetus removed from my body and gestated elsewhere to be raised by the man who impregnated me or anyone else, period. If that kind of thing ever becomes a possibility, it should only be with the…

I’ve found western Washington to very accepting of transplants, as long as you don’t wander too, too far from the cities. I’ve lived out here for over a decade, and I cannot imagine living anywhere else in the country.

There are SO MANY Ohio ex-pats here in NYC. Join us!!

As an Ohio resident, I have to ask: would I be welcome in California or NYC? Cause I gotta get the hell outta here.

Fetal viability has always been the crux of Roe-v-Wade because the court never specified a time and left it up to doctors. At some point though, it’s going to be possible to incubate fetuses without a mother.

well, kasich was nominated, but some other guy won...

Republican politicians love themselves some “distraction” bills. They progressively make life worse for people by doing a two-fer “smoke and mirrors” kind of bill. The first half is supposed to be some inconceivable supervillian crap that gets media attention while they go and do some evil lawmaking behind the scenes.…

Exactly.

Nice. Now he can pat himself on the back with how he “compromised.” The Heartbeat Bill was merely a distraction.
