There is plenty to be done. It's just going to take a whole lot of hard work. We can't be defeatist about it. It's so hard, and I totally understand, but what happened last night should give us all a little hard-won hope.

I think Wendy Davis did something even MORE important than defeat this bill by being a fucking badass: she brought this ridiculousness into the national conversation. There are going to be women who are energized and willing to stand up for their rights. There are going to be more "angry mobs" on Senate floors and…

LOOK AT HIS WIDDLE EARS!!! *steals kitteh*

Adoption is often considered, but is sometimes not feasible. It's actually not at all a simple or cut and dried process, and there are some women who simply do not wish to put their bodies through childbirth. As is their right.

This is really all I have to say.

I actually watched In The Land of Blood and Honey the other night (which Angelina Jolie both wrote and directed), and I was stunned to find that it was not some "love story" like the critics said it was, but actually a feminist film about rape and coercion during war. It was unflinching, brutal, sad, and had a very…

Classic troll misogyny. "Vaginas are dirty, therefore, don't wash your hands".

Ah. Good to know, thanks. I'll see myself out! :)

Not really. Do you mean a 120 pound woman drinking as much as a 220 pound man? Wonder how often that actually happens. Every woman's body is different. It depends on age, weight, body type, food in system, time in menstrual cycle, etc. So, no.

It does not make it more irresponsible because it affects our bodies differently. What kind of sexist bullshit is that? Fuck that shit. Drinking to excess is EQUALLY irresponsible in both sexes, no matter what. Give me a break. There are still incredibly gendered attitudes towards even moderate alcohol consumption.

WHY ARE YOU BEING AN OPPRESSOR??!? Being a misogynist is just his Opinion, okay? You don't get to censor him! Fascist!

Thanks. It's sincerely shocking to me that anyone thinks a woman getting drunk means she should expect to be assaulted or raped. I mean, what the fucking fuck?

Don't "sister" me, "bro". I have read the whole thing and you're a passive aggressive, condescending dick to women who have opened up about their experience. Why don't you go fall in a woman's vagina and make yourself a moral?

Of course you're a man. I should have known better. Tell you what - since you clearly sit in your ivory dick tower and are the moral authority on All Things Fetus - please just go and join the other white dudes in the GOP with your moralizing. I'm sure they need another dude to help them control women through shame…

I am getting the feeling that this commenter is not actually pro choice at all. Also is a man probably.

+1

So then you're not pro choice. Pro choice means you support a woman's right to choose. You don't. End of.

If my mother had decided to abort me, I wouldn't be here. It's as simple as that. I had this argument with a protestor in the middle of the street as I was escorting my traumatized 20 year old friend to the clinic (who, by the way, was not even remotely capable of having a child at that time). She shoved a fetus in a…

Birth control fails. And, I'm sorry, but a human being should be able to have sex without "consequences" - its not a punishable act. Ridiculous.
