There is nothing well-adjusted about any of these unfortunate kids. That family is a page straight out of the “how to raise a kid to be a serial rapist/murderer” handbook. Josh fiddled with those girls, but his parents set him up to fail as a human from day one.

I don’t think that they think it’s no biggie, they think that everything from holding hands to felching is equally sinful outside of marriage, so they have no way of measuring degrees of sexual misbehavior beyond “It’s all bad— it’s all Eve’s fault for tempting Adam— pray it away— OK we’re good now.”

Not only does Planned Parenthood give options; they follow up with medical support for parents. Low-cost pre-natal exams, parenting classes, birthing classes, birth control, and counseling for victims of sexual violence.

And fatal. My mother’s second pregnancy was ectopic (she thought it was back pain until it was nearly too late), and she had to have an emergency termination so as not to die. It was the 60s, so this was full-on abdominal surgery, and included a bonus tubal ligation. She assumed she was sterile from that point on, of…

The organizers stress the wearing of shoes and helmets, and the use of lights. My husband reports zero trauma to his nads.

Jinx subject Robert Durst, surely. Not “star”.

He does seem to be a genuinely good dude:

Sorry, looked it up; "obstruction of justice without force." Not resisting.

One of the charges was "resisting arrest without violence." Not all cops are racist, but some people are, and cops are people.

Johnson, who had just been reelected to the Honor Committee and serves on the Black Student Alliance executive board, had been turned away from Trinity Irish Pub around 12:45am March 18, according to a statement from the ABC [Alcoholic Beverage Control, I think]. His friend, Bryan Beaubrun, told the Daily Progress…

To be clear, the doctor did not refuse treatment to a sick baby, she let another doctor take over a scheduled appointment with the baby and then sent a letter to the mothers explaining the reason she felt she could not be their pediatrician. They were understandably surprised, since the mothers had met with the…

She was not in a coma. She was brain dead. And as I recall, it was known that the 14-week-old fetus was badly injured, presumably by oxygen deprivation, as her body was not found and resuscitated until some time after her collapse.

I knew a guy 25 years ago who made a big deal out of how much he liked spicy food. He was a chef school student with a smooth southern drawl, and he made things like chocolate-stuffed jalepenos and talked about endorphins. I had a crush on him, so I basically taught myself to love spicy food in order to impress him.…

I seriously had a guy disrespect the curve on me at a Friends (as in Quakers) contra-dance in Lexington, Massachusetts. I was sitting out a reel because I was tired, and he took my smiling "no thanks, I'm resting," with very ill grace.

There's an insidious secondary message in this proposed bill: that women need a reason to abort, other than the fact that they have determined it to be the right choice for them.

Pfft. I have sat in so much pee in women's rooms... Women who "hover" over the toilet to avoid contact with the seat spray all over. At least dudes have a spigot to aim with.

I think we're looking at two different posts. Today's, by Kate Knibbs, uses the anniversary as an opportunity to link and repost Jonathan Keats' post from December 8, 2011. Which does go over much of the same information in the article you link to.

It was not the 100th anniversary of her birth four years ago.

To those who will argue that Viking was not a job: it was.

If you've got an under funded, under privileged school district (in this case, Washington, DC) you take whoever shows up with a teaching credential, I bet.
