Plus the vulnerability that comes from a neglectful childhood.

“At least I tried to avoid it.”

Yeah, the people saying this is okay seem to be forgetting that this is a parent taking advantage of their child.

It makes me really uncomfortable that nobody seems to be saying much about the fact that he’s so much younger and how that makes him extra vulnerable. Nineteen is technically an adult, but you’re still young an easy to take advantage of. Not you, but the conversation in general. I feel like people get blinded by the…

There are a lot of children in the system with multiple disabilities, but I’m not sure about the specifics around your question. I’ve worked with kids who have life threatening health conditions, and the children and families go through so much. I’m not saying that their lives are not worth living, but I think that…

“OH yeah, $0.00 since you’re pro-birth. Fuck ‘em once they’re born.” Except he’d fuck ‘em even before they’re born, because he’d deny the mother healthcare, which means he’d deny the precious life he’s so on the side of. Because that’s communist shit, and he’s not about that.

OTOH, he seems to be doing exceptionally well as an adult with microcephaly.

Easy for him to say. He won’t be the one going through the heartbreak of having a child with microcephaly.

“If I’m going to err, I’m going to err on the side of life,” he said.

the GOP let the horse out of the barn a long time ago but only now is closing the doors. Except it wasn’t really a horse, but a mangy goat covered in rotten marmalade who thinks he’s a unicorn.

Ironically, the Right and Country Music in general have their own version of political correctness. The Dixie Chicks dared to say what they think, and despite that their views were aligned with the majority of Americans, they offended the Right’s sense of what is politically correct and they were blacklisted from the…

This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

“Maybe you should just try a teeny tiny bit to not express your thoughts in ways that actively hurt other people?”

For the first time in history, white men have to occasionally, just a tiny bit, think before they speak and be questioned about their words and beliefs. This is the “political correctness” everyone is whining about. How dare people that they’ve always been able to oppress, insult, laugh at, or dismiss demand respect…

“More than ever, I’ve been hitting “delete” before I send out a tweet,”

I know when I think of country music, “politically correct” is definitely the first descriptor that comes to mind.

Huh ... I thought Donald Trump was the single best argument in not saying what you think until you think a little harder. He’s an object lesson in the value of some level of political correctness. “Don’t just vomit up your ‘thoughts’ all over everyone; just look at Donald Trump!”

Well a common sexist stereotype of woman in power is that they’re shrill.

because they are insinuating that her laugh is too loud, too aggressive, too much and she should be relegated to tiny giggles behind her hand like a good, docile woman would. I mean, can you believe her audacity to actually laugh her real laugh??

Dudebro rule of humor: Women aren’t funny. But making fun of women is always funny.
