Every woman I know who was pressured to have an abortion (whether she did or not) was pressured by someone who was “pro-life.” I wonder how common that is.

I had a meniscus repair on my right knee 14 years ago that did horrible things to my gait and the alignment of my leg. I regret that surgery. I ended up with an ugly bunion on my right foot and ended up having to have knee replacement surgery anyway. I still have the ugly ass bunion.

Back when the Texas legislature was debating their 2013 TRAP bill, there was a live feed of people testifying before or against the bill. I watched for a few hours, and every single woman testifying in favor of it mentioned being forced to have an abortion. Women that had had abortions testified on both sides, but all…

My awesome Women Studies professor in college, when faced with the abortion question, just smiled at the token troll and said “If you want there to be fewer pregnancy terminations, then you should advocate for free childcare and work towards reducing the stigma on un-wed mothers.” mic drop. Love you, Prof. Roy!

All of my regret was linked to getting into the situation in the first place. I told myself I was smarter than that, I should have known better. The only remorse I ever felt was for myself. But then that made me feel guilty and selfish. I am older now, and I embrace my selfishness. No one else is going to do whats…

This is such a great way to put it. I got pregnant with a guy during a one-night stand. I was 25, barely making ends meet, and facing the prospect of raising a baby in a one-bedroom apartment that I shared with my rambunctious pitbull. Not a great environment.

Recently my mom, over the span of two dinners told me some facts I had absolutely no idea about and never could have guessed. First, that her mother (in Texas in the 50s) had been forced by her parents to have a “back alley” pregnancy termination that nearly killed her and she regretted forever. Second, that she had…

mine told me if I ever left him he would find me and take a razor blade to my face, cutting me a new Heath Ledger sized smile (this was long before the movie but its a great reference). Then he laughed and said he was joking. He also said if I tried to leave his place he would set his dogs on me. Yeah, so I told that…

It’s a decision of last resort - if we had the economic or emotional support (or maturity or desire) to have that child, most of us would. That’s why I for one, get SO PISSED OFF when MEN think they should have a hand in the decision or think we need extra time, counseling WHATEVER. It’s infantilizing and insulting to…

I don’t regret mine. Especially since I ended my relationship with my ex and finally realized how abusive and controlling he was (told me he’d never marry me until I was less than 130 pounds. He monitored everything I ate and the 80 lbs I lost in the span of a few months still wasn’t enough for him). I don’t regret…

Same.

Smartest thing I ever did, just ahead of ditching the loser who knocked me up.

Frankly he looks like a serial killer. You know - the “quiet type” who was always looked and acted “nice” but had the cold, dark heart of a raging sociopath inside.

the biggest logical leap i have ever heard is that to fix failing public schools, you take away all of their funding. SEEMS LEGIT MAKES SENSE ELECT ME PRESIDENT

I feel sorry for the kids who attend Wisconsin public schools. Walker’s budget slashing and union busting is second to none.

“Our Dad has shown us how to be compassionate and how to care for people.”
I feel very sorry for these kids.

This comment is a mess for so many reasons.

The end of that quote is “and that is an act of political warfare.” Something tells me that Ivanka Trump isn’t aware of the feminist context of the quote.
