Historically, coat hangers were used to cause catastrophic damage to the uterus which would necessitate termination to save the life of the woman. It sounds like she didn’t know this and thought you could abort the pregnancy yourself with a coat hanger and then freaked out when there was tonnes of blood and went to…

Hard to know. The police report uses the extremely loaded word “saved” when referring to the medical procedure to prevent death, so it’s not clear how the foetus was removed

Yes, obviously. I’m curious if you have something available to you that is the unquestionable truth and law of the universe that might make my opinion any less valid than yours? Please advise!

Aside from the absurdity re: gender, it’s adorable that someone thought a recent MFA needs a full-time manager.

More like the recent MFA needs someone to help fill out welfare applications and letters to student loan companies asking for extensions.

Good! I hope they’re successful. Since the child will probably find out eventually, I imagine it will be less traumatic for her to be living with people who knew her parents as something other than monsters when she does.

“I don’t think I was dealing with the top brass.”

Apparently Houston winning a championship is such a rarity that the security guards mistook raucous celebration for rioting.

So far so good. I wouldn’t rely on it for a primary heat source, and it’s not like having a real fireplace, but it will do.

I talked to the mom to get some ideas for the boys and I asked her what sorts of things she might like for herself and she said, “I don’t think I’ve ever even thought about that. If I really need something, I go to the thrift store.” I want to do something special for her. I don’t know what yet. She’s had a bad couple…

Hey, I’m having a really rough week,someone lie to me and tell me I’m a good person and it’s going to be ok, please??

Got the raise I asked for three weeks ago...plus a promotion!! Went all out on holiday decorations for my room to celebrate...the cat doesn’t know what to think about the tree yet lol

You are so British, and pregnant, and great.

So took two pregnancy test today and I’m up the duff! It’s our first and we are chuffed, especially because we have had a tough time trying to conceive. Just so excited, had to share with someone (all of you!)

It’s absolutely tragic what happened to the child, but I know survivors of rape who go on to lead fulfilling lives. That’s all I’m hoping for the kid. Obviously with a ton of love, therapy and family support.

I'd like to know if the birth mother is safe as well.

It amazes me that the threat of this kind of terror has become the new normal for clinics. It is simply not covered in the news. The most frequent time for people to become aware of the insane protesters outside the clinic is for them to arrive requiring services and be confronted by a screaming mob. Yet this is every…

“I could take him”

Hello no haters please and thank you
