I support abortion because you don’t want to be pregnant and have a baby. Period. I hate when supporters defend abortion by saying that a woman agonizes over the decision, it’s a “last resort” that needs to be there, it’s a magical prevention of poverty, etc. Women don’t need to explain abortion. It's our right.

I only recently realized that when we play Good Abortion, Bad Abortion everyone loses. I never consciously thought anyone had a bad reason for getting one, but by rhetorically relying on hypotheticals involving health problems, or multiple kids, I see now that I was implying that some women earned their abortions. The…

That man and all the support he has for his “compassion” shits me.

Sending all the good thoughts to the women of Ireland. I hope that women continue to stand up and say that they had an abortion, and it was the right choice for them. It is so hard, but it humanizes the issue.

And this is why I wish people would stop cheering on this “cool” Pope. The bar is so fucking low that we’re thrilled he’s moved his opinions into the 20th century.

James seems to think that having choices is only for men.

I support abortion for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. End of.

I love the “it’s your fault because you had sex” argument, it’s the same as: “you wore that skirt and got raped, it’s your fault for dressing sexy” and also “if they didn’t want their pictures posted on my revenge site, they shouldn’t have taken the pictures in the first place”. victim blaming, it’s all the rage!

Yes, and not just a teenager. If you do manage to travel (which might involve taking time off work as it’s not a trip you can do in a day) and have the abortion, you are left to your own devices thereafter. No follow-up care, if you need it. So you have the fear of getting pregnant, which can happen to anyone even if…

Come on! It’s been 10 years. We’ve obviously improved as people, and as a Nation, immensely since then. I mean who wants to go back to 2006 with all the wars, skyrocketing house prices, and the Republicans holding both the House and Senate. Thank goodness those days are past us!

These women are so brave.

That’s the problem right there. We tell women to drink less for their own safety (ignoring men are also at risk as well when drinking), but we don’t want to limit men’s fun by telling them to drink less as well. That’s not fair! Only women should be advised against having fun.

Have you considered a wood or metal undergarment that would prevent a rape-happy male from accessing said vaginas? It might sound uncomfortable but this whole rape culture is really your fault.

I think my queasiness with it is more that it removes personal responsibility for criminal action. Like, I’m a guy, I can’t help myself I just wanna rape after a few drinks. It ultimately doesn’t matter. There’s no good excuse for engaging in nonconsensual sex.

And no one ever gets raped in non-drinking religions and cultures, either! LDS, Muslims, nations where alcohol is currently illegal, no rape in those communities!

Well, clearly he doesn’t think that the lives of women and children matter much. The victim impact statement from the Brock Turner case did not convince him that the destruction of her life warranted any thing that would derail Turner’s. And he clearly is, yes, too stupid to understand that to have child porn at all,…

Yes, didn’t you know that absolutely nobody was raped during prohibition?

“Man rape because of alcohol not because they don’t respect consent.”

Studies have shown if you ladies weren't so rapeable you wouldn't be raped.

I’d be willing to bet several hundred dollars this guy is some kind of sexually deranged pervert based on how blithely and willingly he shows leniency to the defendants in such cases.
