Check out the linked article. She's not not being attacked for having an imperfect past. Quite the contrary, actually:

I truly believe for abortion to remain safe and legal more and more women (like me) who had abortions and did not find the decision conflicting and do not regret them for a second are going to have to stand up and tell our stories. We need to claim our vocal place in the narrative bc right now the predominant…

Oh fuck ya. I lack the required biology to become pregnant but if a future daughter asked me for abortion money, I'd drive her to the clinic myself to protect her against the abortion protestors.

Yes, because she obviously comes from a Catholic family and lots of Hispanic people are devoutly Catholic. This is a very powerful story about choices being honored and that one person's beliefs don't trump another person's right to bodily autonomy.

Damn, Ms Flores!

I volunteer at a place where people can come get clothes for free (and food and other necessities) and you would not believe the amount of garbage we take in on a daily basis. Just last week I opened four enormous plastic bags to find foul-smelling, dirty clothes that I ended up having to throw away along with…

correct. parents do not have a "consent talk" in the same way they have a sex talk. they don't want to imagine their sons are rapists so it's not a part of the regular sex talk either. and society is saturated with messages about no meaning yes and women deserving what they get and men being entitled to sex, and male…

They do. But rape is often taught as wrong when it's an attack in a back alley somewhere. More common forms of rape such as acquaintance rape or date rape aren't even recognized by a lot of people as rape. The disconnect is astounding.

Nope! It's rare to find an adult that even talks to their kid about sex in any semblance of a rational way, let alone rape.

We have to stop assuming that the male position is objective, unbiased, nonpartisan, with no need to be qualified as male.

Kinda sad that this has three stars.

Honest question- did you even read this article?

I see the appeal of a contraceptive implant that can be managed noninvasively, but (as you can see from the comments) I doubt most women want to have the control of their contraception managed from afar by someone else. Wouldn't there be a way to electronically update this using some kind of hardware that transmits…

Hacking your uterus, nbd.

Your doctor can switch it on or off remotely? Shouldn't that be your boss?

Allow me to just say

This doesn't surprise me. I could be wrong (this is nothing but conjecture on my part), but aren't LGBT parents more likely to have planned and prepared for the children? It's harder to have an oopsie baby, either as a single parent or in a relationship (for obvious reasons), and the kids are therefore more likely…

Yes, saw that this morning.
In a nutshell, kids from homosexual couples are better off because of the lack of typical gender roles (they were not forced upon the kids, and parents share everything more).
But they suffer, because bigoted assholes do not leave the kids alone and bully them for being kids from same-sex…

My grandparents still get it on in a bunny-like fashion. After 65 years of marriage. I know that isn't 'forever'. But. On the one hand, I would really rather not have the memory of walking in on them that time in the kitchen. On the other, it gives me hope.

We were married unobtrusively at the back of a vegetarian soup kitchen we'd spent the morning volunteering at, wearing our least-flattering thrift store clothes, and his entire extended family took my last name. Our honeymoon was spent cleaning up the side of the highway in our hometown, and we are so…
