I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again... require a firearms safety insurance, whether it’s an individual plan or a rider on homeowners insurance or car insurance. It’s the conservative-friendly free market solution. The insurance industry is the best regulator of public safety when regulation by the government…

One, Jeff Merkel from Oregon later read the full letter but wasn’t stopped. Guess it’s only bad if a woman does it, huh.

Because no woman should have sex unless she is legally tied to a man through marriage. Cuz GOD.

What about the precious lives of the children gunned down at Sandy Hook? Do something about THAT assholes.

If human life is sacred from the moment of conception, then I guess God is the most evil abortionist of all, given the rather large percentage of early pregnancies that result in miscarriages.

I was actually referring to the death penalty. It’s like Animal Farm, “All life is sacred... some life more than others.”

While I personally have no problem with the Satanists, and their fine trolling ability, they do have their own baggage associated with them minimally just from their name. Satan is an Abrahamic relgion thing, right? Does he even go beyond Christianity? I can’t remember.

Human life begins at conception, unless you’re a rich white person getting IVF treatments, in which case it begins whenever is most convenient for you.

Super! A bill the majority of Americans don’t want that also has no reason for existing. Just like the President elect!

i had a baby that was stillborn. a relative said “arent you happy she is with jesus now?” nevermind that im not religious. who the fuck thinks thats what a grieving mother wants to hear?

You know, I am very anti-vandalism, but I feel a STRONG urge to go deface that statue. This man doesn’t deserve any honors. He wasn’t a doctor, he was a torturer and a murderer.

I’d read about the barbaric fistula surgeries, but not the cranial surgeries on infants with a one hundred percent death rate!!!!! Or the clitorectomies. And there’s a statue in Central Park of this motherfucker?!?!?!?!?!?!

I made the mistake of clicking on the J. Marion Sims link. I feel sick reading that, but I also want to send it to everyone who argues that American slavery “wasn’t actually so bad.” He reminds me of Mengele... How do we not learn about this when we learn about slavery? God, what those poor women must have gone…

“You can hold the unscientific and unsubstantiated belief that human life starts at conception but keep that your business.”

But abortion can not and should not ever be obsolete. I mean, I know that reducing the number of abortions due to “accidental” pregnancies for whatever reason is a good goal- - better sex education, more availability to contraception etc. but there are other reasons that abortion becomes necessary even beyond the…

In all sincerity, I think we should have both. Abortion on demand, for any reason (because it’s my body, my decision) BUT ALSO all of the “pro-life” policies these guys are talking about, like paid parental leave, affordable quality child care, equal pay, etc. so that women don’t feel like they have to get an abortion…

Agreed. With the caveat that while I’m pro-choice, choosing to abort out of desperation because of a lack of all the services and support you list is not really a choice. It seems like these pro-lifers want to put their emphasis on the demand side, not the supply side like Republicans do, and more power to them. I…

I have a number of liberal friends who are anti abortion (due to religion, etc). The trick is: they personally do not think abortion is right, but they believe laws banning it are wrong. They believe that in order for them to maintain logical consistency while talking about disliking abortion, they also have to…

I have a hard time reconciling their beliefs with women’s rights, but this is what pro-life efforts should look like. If you want to minimize the use of abortion, you have to build the education and support to do so, not just blame pregnant women for becoming pregnant.

Yeah no. Abortion on demand, for any reason. That's the only way women will have true parity with men. Fuck these guys.
