Wait: 18 months between births or pregnancies? Two different things.

This isn’t about wearing short skirts or something, this is doctors giving medical advice about women allowing their bodies to recover.

They’re not going to remain anonymous forever, you know. This isn’t a “perfect example” of racism that needs to be talked about, unless you think racism is such a small issue that it’s exemplified by teenagers yelling slurs into a microphone. That’s not the attitude of someone taking racism seriously, it’s going after…

Um, you *might* want to clearly state that the photo is just a stock photo, and not the girls in question. Or better, use a different photo.

Can we please have a moratorium on national media outlets making pariahs out of children? I don’t want to live in a world where adults make money by “calling out” 14-year-olds.

Some babies are just more wobbly. My baby never stopped moving in utero. Ever. So I wasn’t surprised that she could hold her head up from day 1. However, the issue with bumbos is that every minute that a baby is sitting in one is time that they aren't strengthening their muscles. I asked my pediatrician how much time…

Those are Bumbo chairs. I believe they’ve been recalled.

Ugh I wanted to kill that chair with a bat.

OMG, I got so excited watching that little kid grow! So happy to see him free himself from that horrible little chair.

Yup, just checked my bottle and it’s very clear that it is very flammable. Has a little flame thingy and everything.

Naturally statistical analysis of available data by credible sources is silly, it's best to go by your gut felling that is saying USA! USA! nr1.

I didn’t make up those laws. I’m just informing you that, when a fetus is wanted, you get to count it as a person.

A-fucking-men. This is not something that we should be cheering. Just because one supports bodily autonomy and choice doesn’t mean you have to give some enthusiastic thumbs up and a smile for someone who made a hugely medically risky choice (what the hell doctor approved this?).

Your self-congratulatoriness should carry you far. Meanwhile, I'll happily judge the shit out of terrible, selfish choices, reproductive or otherwise.

No they're not. The choices directly affect four unborn children as well as the rest of her family. Her doctor is going against best practices and should be sanctioned. You don't have to support every choice every woman makes, you know.

“Her 13 children – the oldest of whom is 44 – are by five different fathers”

There's a really great documentary called Hot Coffee. You should watch it before ever bringing that particular case up again. I don't fault you; I thought I knew the story, too.

That was hardly a trivial law suit. The woman got second and third degree burns on her legs and thighs, which required her to get skin grafts, which, considering the fact that she was in her seventies, could have had disastrous effects due to the surgery. And also, despite common belief, she wasn't driving with her…

Actually, the daughter of the lawyer who won the McDonald's hot coffee trial is a good friend of mine. She has seen the pictures of the beyond third-degree, debilitating burns that woman suffered on her legs, labia, and pubic area. They are gruesome. The coffee was way, way, WAY over heated- no beverage should be at a…

That lady had to have skin grafts. It's not like she won a frivolous lawsuit and this lady got screwed. Should the doc have been held responsible? Maybe, but she won against the hospital, so it's not like it was a complete loss.
