This. Mr. Valve and I have one child and are doing well...enough money, we get along, live in a nice neighborhood, etc. Can’t complain. But if I ever got pregnant again, I would nope the fuck out because I’ve found that raising a child is HARD and I really only have it in me to do this well once. I have no particular…

I’m glad you made it out of that relationship alive. I hope you are doing better now.
In countries in which abortion is legal in cases of rape, how the heck does that work? People rarely believe women who say they were raped anyway. Is there a whole trial before the abortion is permitted? This caveat just does not work at all.
Some of the abortions stories from people I know are stories about rape and incest. They are harrowing start to finish. There should be nothing relieving about knowing that someone had a universally compelling reason to choose to abort, and yet some lawmakers toss around the phrase “rape and incest” with such ease.…
Yes. It took me a bit to get there as well. Oddly it was when I was assigned to debate abortions taking the stance of being anti-abortion. That was a rabbit hole that shaped my view of being pro-choice. I had to have one because medically it was the only option that didn’t put us both at risk of not making it. Even if…
Damn right! I’m pro-choice and will fight for women to have safe abortions if they choose to. The alternative is far worse.
We really need to learn that you don’t need a reason to exercise a right, whether that is to say whatever you want, shop where you want, not speak to police, own a firearm, not have soldiers living in your home, vote, demand a trial rather than plea guilty, or have an abortion. We need to normalize “because I fucking…
I’m definitely pro choice. You can’t judge anyone’s personal circumstances. I used to live by a port, lots of women coming in from ireland, to get to the nearest city for an abortion. Women in from poverty with 9 kids, who had neglected their own health so the kids could eat. Girls just scraping into puberty, pregnant…
Unfortunately, generally speaking, you’re not going to get Republican women to vote against Republican candidates without noting that the laws they’re passing make no exception for rape or incest. It’s a visible divide within the GOP, where the vast majority of Republican women generally favor legal abortion in the…
Most women I know got an abortion because it was the right decision for them based on what was going on in their lives at the time and what they wanted their future to look like.
Fucking thank you.
Oh FFS.
His prediction is that he’ll be silenced for being white.
Why are you defending him so hard? Are you a fan?
“He’s projecting the implications of certain attitudes within the culture.”
It’s such pearl-clutching, power-mongering bullshit. Not least because over and over and fucking OVER again marginalized people have stated that they want equality and representation and that’s all. It is so so rare to hear a progressive voice call for anything remotely like “silencing white men”. It’s a strawman…
Maybe the guy who made all those people eat horse rectum on Fear Factor isn’t the intellectual powerhouse he’s made out to be?
I particularly hated the Laura Linney plotline. What came through for me was that her expectations for herself are to be a martyr to her brother. She drags around in a funk the entire movie and when she finally has a shot at creating some kind of connection with a man she's been mooning over for years, she immediately…
