This is an interesting aspect I never thought of. After all, if the doctor now isn’t the final word on what’s best for his/her pregnant patient, then what’s to stop any woman from demanding that they induce labor prematurely? Sure, it’s not what the doctor would normally do, but fuck it, he ain’t the boss anyway.

Rape and incest exceptions to abortion bans only make sense once you acknowledge that abortion isn’t about protecting a human life, but about controlling women’s reproductive decisions. Because if abortion is the taking of a human life, well, there is no exception to murder that would allow a victim of rape to go and…

I’m waiting for the first lawsuit brought by a 16 week pregnant person to have the trespassing human removed from her body.   They can move it to another body, or it can try and make it on its own.  You say they can always give it up for adoption??  great!, do it at 16 weeks.

“That, plus Jackson hasn’t shown any sign of resurgence as a filmmaker since Return of the King”

Well sure, but there are more comparisons. The General and The Princess are similar to Obi Wan and Leia, and Darth Vader’s look is clearly inspired by the villain and his traditional kabuto.

Ignoring the fact of how many thousands of people the films acted as a gateway to Tolkien’s work. The vast majority of whom would likely never come to his written work without the nudge of the films. Not that I don’t agree with them on many levels; but that is a 2 sided sword (Like canonically the elves generally used…

God, I wish I had the sense of entitlement and complete lack of self-awareness of some of these people.  Who the fuck thinks they can deliberately antagonize people and then still have a right to those people’s warm affections?  Sorry John McCain’s Daughter, you spent years on that show spouting hateful, toxic…

I totally agree with her. The one-off social issue episodes feel awkward, so I hope they maintain them more as full storylines. They did a whole half season arc on PTSD after the shooting episode and that was done so well. They really showed how it affected each character differently and for a different amount of…

They’re definitely power hungry, but I really think they’ve lost control of this movement, and have since 2016 and maybe earlier. They’re just along for the ride now because if they don’t, they’ll be tossed aside like yesterday’s newspaper.

Yeah, this is another example of their deplorable base taking things way too far, and it’ll bite the rest of them completely in the ass if they’re allowed to have their way.  You’d think at some point the party would try and move things away from the cliff, but they’re too interested in simply seizing and keeping…

Do they not realize this would make even fewer non religious people get married? 

Don’t a lot of conservatives get divorced anyway? Trump had five kids with three wives. Richard Spencer is divorced. Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Bob Dole, etc.

So...? She doesn’t deserve the public shaming she experienced. She slept with a married person, yes, but lots of people sleep with married people. And where’s the shaming of the married person who slept with her? He’s the one responsible for keeping it in his pants. He was also her boss & arguably the most powerful…

The incels and religious right—the unholiest of all unions.

Well, that’s stupid. (no big surprise there).

“No-Fault Divorce Has DESTROYED Men’s Confidence In Marriage, Men Don’t Want To Get Married Anymore.”

I imagine rejecting your boss’s advances when he’s the President isn’t exactly a great career option either.

“Accidentally” sent...

Exactly. All this ageism is pointless. There are old people like Bernie Sanders who would be great presidents and there are young people like DeSantis who would be terrible ones. Yes, Joe Biden is a mediocre president, but he isn’t mediocre because he’s old -- he’s always been mediocre.
