I got pregnant while dating a man who was physically, emotionally and sexually controlling. My birth control failed, but I had no real say in whether or not I had sex. He threatened my life regularly. Did you know that for women, pregnancy is an amazingly dangerous time in their lives? That THE leading cause of death…

The fact that you say this so flippantly indicates to me that 1) you have never known someone who was adopted 2) you have never known the anguish of someone who went through nine months of pregnancy only to give up her baby 3) you are a man.
Your problem is you think of morality as a singular objective truth that you can apply to everyone universally. You can't. Morality is personal, and while another person's action may offend your moral sensibilities, unless they are actually violating your human rights somehow (or someone else's if you want to…
Don't be sorry — I am GLAD I did this. I have had a fantastic, child-free life. But you know, I don't need your validation and I do not need you telling me that my decision was immoral because a) it was my decision and b) I believe my decision was deeply moral according to my beliefs.
Don't bother disguising your terrible smug attitude by beginning with "I'm sorry..." You're not sorry. You've got a fat head, you're completely ignorant of this woman's life and experiences, values and morals, and yet you are so SURE that she is 'lacking in responsibility' and that she would have had 'wonderful loving…
But why should it be your choice to mourn someone else's decision about their own body? I do not believe one can be sympathetically pro-life (I realize you are pro-choice) in that you feel each abortion is a tragedy, because it truly is not your choice to make. Abortion has an impact on women, both physically and…
Uh... I'm not sure what pro-choice means to you. You don't get to judge another person's decision as moral or immoral.
I stand with you. I got pregnant during grad school (while using birth control), I knew I didn't want/couldn't care for a child, and had an abortion. No regret, no shame, and a hearty "Eff you!" to anybody who feels like they can be the judge of me, especially when they have never been in that situation. Screw their…
It's not silly, because abortion pales in comparison to the myriad moral crimes we can easily come up with in response to your comment. Factory farming is a worse moral crime than abortion. Abortion is not even a blip on my radar.
Gotta say that I can relate to this situation. I was abandoned by my kid's father both emotionally and financially and had no idea what I was going to do. I considered an abortion but I ended up continuing with the pregnancy 1) because I had a choice and 2)I could: I had a job with good insurance. I can't imagine…
Fuck you! I got pregnant at 18 while on the pill. As soon as I found out I had the phone book out (this was the dark ages of 1984) and looking for a clinic. I was starting college in one month and there was no way in hell I was going to have a baby. In addition I knew from an early age that I didn't want children at…
Honestly I agree with you. There is nothing sadder then witnessing the upbringing of a child who is nothing more than a burden for their parents or caretakers. I worked in daycare when I was younger and I saw many scenarios that broke my heart and left me feeling totally helpless towards them. I tried hard not to take…
Granted, this quote is about 3-day old blastocysts, but I think it's still relevant to the conversation:
"A three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly. The human embryos that are destroyed in stem-cell…
Just a quick sidenote RE the pulling hair thing - I happen to LOVE that (and am an unmarried woman). I think as long as both people are consenting, then there's nothing that is objectively disrespectful in the bedroom. He seems to not understand that, and is saying it's ok to pull an unmarried woman's hair (which he…
There was absolutely nothing "almost perfect" about that guy's quote. #1 saying you can't have the same kind of sex with your wife is such a madonna whore complex thing to say. #2 if your wife likes her hair pulled and neck grabbed (as I sure do) then why should she have to settle for less than great sex for the rest…
As long as it is totally consensual who cares what other people "accept" or think about it? Are we individuals or is it group think time?
You're entertaining, But Ok, I'll bite.
Connie Britton is one of the strongest arguments in favor of human cloning. There should be one in every city.
I honestly lost my shit and started flapping my hands around when I read the yearbook note. What? How freaking great is he?
