Like most things, pregnancy doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s funny (in a “wow, that’s unfortunate you are so ignorant way) that you said “even if she lived next door” to a clinic....did you even read the article? In TN, it’s VERY LIKELY that she lived no where near a clinic! Even if she did, when did she know she was…

It’s a fetus until it’s born. No one, not pro-choicers, not pro-lifers, says that viability is what separates a fetus from a baby. At the point that she attempted the abortion, it was still a fetus. Once it was born, it was an infant. Fucking fetal personhood bullshit to the contrary.

Your understanding is wrong. Viability is a weird term that, thanks to the miracles of technology, is edging increasingly towards conception. You can resuscitate or keep something alive through artificial means way before it would naturally survive outside the womb.

There may have been other factors going on. Was she able to schedule an appointment? Not all places are walk-in. What was the cost? When did she know she was pregnant and how far along was she?

Fuck off. You have no idea why this woman ended up how she did.

Here we go again.

There is going to be a rise in the number of cases like this due to the limit in access to abortion and birth control services. More and more women and girls are going to attempt self abortion. Making it harder for women and girls to get abortions won’t stop them from doing dangerous and risky things to get one. Even…

Nope. But lack of money, lies from “pregnancy crisis centers,” abusive family, fear of being tracked by protesters, fear of being shot up by an anti-abortion terrorist, lack of medical health services (did she have preparation psychosis?) and any general medical health services (did she have access to birth control?…

I know somebody who had, what I guess is the only correct term, a psychotic break when she was 8 months pregnant. She tried to then kill the baby by repeatedly punching her stomach and then throwing herself off some stairs. It had something to do with her not being able to take her meds while pregnant, and fortunately…

Right. Because everyone knows abortions are free and easy to access.

This story is the perfect storm of horrible and tragic.

This is a tragedy all the way around.

Fuck. That lady needs...support, not prison.

I don’t see how these guys think starting a civil war over white supremacy is going to benefit them any more than last time.

It’s really more paranoid than clever, but thanks.

There’s a joke to be made about people at Sea World getting tortured in a small glass enclosure, an environment they are not suited to be in, and needing to be released back into the wild, but it’s Monday and I’m tired.

Situations like this always make me wonder...what if someone reeeeeeeally had to go to the bathroom?

I can confirm I have met a baby named Kale. It was so hard to talk to her mother with a straight face.

I believe that Kylo Ren is being shown explicitly as not being a great lightsaber user. If he had a proper teacher in that art, he’d have a weapon that didn’t spit and spark, etc.; sloppy weapon implies a corresponding similar lack of training in using it. Add that to the fact that he fails around with it any time…
