This line of thinking is exactly why we’re here.

Where I’m from, maternity leave (and recently, paternity leave) is paid for by the state for - hold onto your knickers - more than 120 days, out of which 40-something are MANDATORY postnatal maternal leave. Basically, if a baby has recently come out of you, your ass is staying home for at least a month and a half,…

In Germany paid maternity leave begins 6 weeks before the estimated birth date and goes until 8 weeks after the birth (12 weeks for multiples or premature babies) and it’s mandatory. During this time you just get your normal paycheck and aren’t allowed to work. After that people can take parental leave without pay but…

In Canada, it’s paid out via our Employment Insurance, which is deducted from each paycheck. You apply for it, just like if you lose your job. We’re entitled to a year’s worth, the majority of which can be split between either parent.

I’m so sick of being called “greedy, entitled, looking for handouts” because I want what every other civilized country has.

The students’ online petition says: “Leigh Anne Arthur is the victim of a blatant attack of her privacy. Personal photographs were illegally obtained by a student and were sent to other students in the school (Union County High). After being escorted off of school property, we (the students) are left to believe that…

So what happens to the 16 year old who was distributing pornography?

How about another 6?

ALL of THEM - ALL. God damn - this is some righteous pride here. SMACK ‘EM ladies! Crush them and their puny misogynistic bullshit!!

Also pointed out that the D&C, the exact same procedure that is done for an abortion, is performed for miscarriages and there’s no building codes placed on a facility doing THAT procedure to be retrofitted as if it’s Cedars/Sinai Hospital.

Absolutely! And even if we had more liberal male leaders, it’s true that women bring a different perspective. I think the degree to which the three female justices skewered Keller’s half-baked rationale is great evidence of this.

I want another woman justice

It was Alito trying painfully to be Scalia and Kagan shut that shit down immediately. It was beautiful.

I was listening to NPR last night and Nina Totenberg was reading transcripts of this. She was really getting the snark down of their comments to Keller.

Straight out the gate attacking the idea of assuming women in El Paso can just go to a New Mexico clinic, when NM has lower “standards” (i.e. TRAP laws) than Texas? Brilliant. YAS Queens.

Crying and clapping!

Read the entire Slate piece, it is fantastically done. These women are total badasses and had absolutely zero patience for Keller. I will add that Breyer’s moment in the sun was pretty spectacular as well. (emphasis mine)

So which is the fishy thing? That he made a clock, that the story got picked up by the national media after the Dallas Morning News published it, that they decided to move to Qatar after having a particularly bad experience in the state of Texas, or that the 16yo kid doesn’t take media interviews without his parents?

Not even a bucketful of sloths.

Don’t these heartless unhinged theocrats know that *people will die as a result of this*?

It’s time to make *WAY MORE NOISE THAN THE FOX HATE MACHINE*.
