I think as a male reader who just casually clicked on a link from the Deadspin site (you know, dick jokes), I have to say this interview made quite an impression on me. I’ve always been pro-choice, but I think I have been pro-choice because that is the socially progressive thing to be (which it is) and not really…

This is what late-term abortions are. If we vote for politicians who outlaw late-term abortions, this is what we are outlawing. When we outlaw late-term abortions, we are forcing a woman who very much wants to be a mother to either give birth to a baby only to watch her child die in pain, or forcing her to wait for…

I created this account so that I could say, “Me, too.” Every single word. Trisomy 18 (with unrelated complications) that wasn’t discovered until after the legal cutoff date (in Texas, where I’m from). The same miserable situation; the same scramble for cash, the same horrible shot - the same overwhelming gratitude…

Thank you. Thank you for telling this woman’s story. I’m a Labor and Delivery Nurse in Tennessee. When people talk about restricting abortion access I get so angry because I think about this woman.

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

When she talked about the bourbon toast to Spartacus, and all that it meant, I cried and cried.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it through this whole interview, but I cannot thank your subject enough for agreeing to do it. Now I think I need to go home and hug my son(who was a high-risk baby, under 10th percentile at 36 weeks when he was delivered by c-section) really really hard.

I once heard somebody say that pregnancy is a hope, not a promise.

I don’t find the title to be misleading at all. This is what abortion is.

On my Google calendar, my due date said “SPARTACUS!”

Thank you for writing this. A friend of mine went through this procedure about a year ago, and it was heart-breaking. This is why late term abortion bans (which even Hillary Clinton is “open to”- fuck her) are so enraging to me. It’s not like women get 35 weeks in and are like “ nah”. It’s always tragic when this…

I know it’s so hard and painful to do, but I wish more people would talk about their miscarriages and other fertility issues. I was completely shocked when I realized how common it is, and I think it would help a lot with the feelings of failure that so many women have when they have trouble conceiving or carrying.

THIS. I am a mother of two children. This is what women are talking about when they talk about late term abortion. Women who want children- who are trying to bring children into the world- and then are faced with devastating news. These women should be allowed the grace to have their own agency. To deal with the loss…

I was horrified by the title and then immediately realized it was misleading.

Well, kudos to Cortana’s developers for at least entertaining the notion that someone might turn to their cellphone this way.
