The only moral abortion is the one Ben Carson wants you to have so he can write a paper.
I’m a vegetarian and believe that torturing and killing animals for food is morally wrong. But that’s way different than like when I eat the pizza my boyfriend ordered with pepperoni cause like by then it’s cooked.
The old “I’m against this, but it’s okay if I do it” routine.
She ran a terrible campaign? Or she lost to Bush because Karl Rove was his campaign manager & waged one of the dirtiest campaigns in recent history, including spreading the rumor that she was a lesbian!
I’m so SICK of Plan B being constantly vilified... That thing prevented (most likely) a potential pregnancy for me that would have resulted in... ABORTION if I had tested positive...
Planned Parenthood saved my life by helping me get treatment for cancer. My husband volunteered as an escort when the Texas nuts were on full rage crazy. We need more people like Cecil Richards who unlike republicans is actually saving lives.
The FBI reports false accusations at 2-8% which is the same rate for other crimes. Some reports have found it’s even lower, being 2% or below. Yet this amount of doubt is not consistent with accusations of robbery, assault, etc.
Do you honestly think Rape is something that only effects White women? Do you not realize how common Rape is of Black women, and most rapes are perpetrated by a person the same race of the victim. SO I think you should print out your name and address and give it to all the Black women you know, along with this…
She did press charges, and the “investigation is ongoing,” but NYPD hasn’t exactly been at it’s, er, “finest,” either:
If any of you out there are still unsure of how consent works, here’s a primer:
Here’s my useless opinion. There is a LOT of information to sort through here. I sincerely hope that the investigation is thorough, and that fair and proper justice is doled out based on its findings. Having said all that. You hear stories like this and whether or not this woman was raped or not, it doesn’t change the…
“We’re not saying it’s not rape but victimblamevictimblame, probably extortion.”
I JUST went to google this! And her abuser was already in the house. This guy wants women to shoot at them in the yard? Not even sure if stand your ground would apply.
*ahem*
He was displaying three of the extremely high risk behaviours - strangulation, stalking and an escalation of violence. The Police should have predicted this and supplied her with an emergency alarm and safety fittings on her property. They need to look at their own failings rather than trying blame the victim here.
This is what kills me. When women try to get police help against domestic abusers, they’re told there’s nothing the police can do until he actively tries to murder them. When they shoot or kill their abusers in self defense, police arrest them for murder or attempted murder. And when their abusers kill them, the…
Don’t forget the Black woman who was sentenced to years in jail for firing A WARNING SHOT when her estranged abusive husband came into her home. Because that warning shot was just so dangerous to her children. That’s how it works when a woman tries to defend herself.
Because fighting back always works out so well for women.
that gun will be real useful when your abuser either a. finds it before you have a chance to use it or b. wrestles it away from you before you have a chance to use it. Yay! now your abuser has a gun, and at least you’ll probably suffer less if you die from a gunshot wound than from being beaten to death
