Listen, if you are desperate enough to spend 6 years fighting a legal battle to release someone else’s sex tape without their consent just so you can create a DVD, you are an absolute garbage producer that really shouldn’t even bother making a DVD in the first place.

Eh, she’s dead. If it helps the boyfriend and family bond and grieve... Could be worse, anyway.

That’s sort of my takeaway from this. If you take the idea of the actual proposal out of it, it’s just a boyfriend buying a ring for his deceased girlfriend to be buried with. I think few people would object to that, and I know of numerous instances where relatives/loved ones have bought tokens of love to slip into…

I think the only thing that bothers me is that we know about this. If the boyfriend had a good relationship with her parents and quietly went to them and asked if he could buy a ring, and they were ok with it, and if they had planned on engagement, ok. I just don’t know why it has to be on social media and in the…

you don’t get to make decisions like this for a dead person

Nobody asks a woman why they chose to continue a pregnancy, even though that’s often a more emotionally, physically, and financially taxing decision. An abortion needs no more justification than “I don’t want to be pregnant” just like a pregnancy needs no more justification than “I want to bear a child”.

I know we’ve kinda forgotten everything since before the advent of twitter, but www.imnotsorry.net has been collecting abortion stories since 2003. It might not have been updated in a while, but there are hundreds of positive abortion stories there.

Gosh, if only we had some way of knowing that this was likely to happen, like a long history of violent and disturbing behavior against women.

I couldn’t agree more. I am strongly pro-choice, and believe that a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy for any reason whatsoever so long as it’s her own. I really resent the “hardest decision” narrative. Fuck anyone who thinks they can tell someone else how to feel. I’ve never had an abortion and for all I…

I agree, the “hardest choice of all” is a harmful message to people for whom it is in fact not a hard choice at all, where someone knows they are making the right choice. It creates unnecessary shame.

fuck all those fucking jagweeds.

The asshatery coming from the Forced-Birth movement really just dumbfounds me. It’s often the only thing I can’t “discuss” civilly with these neanderthals about IRL (I can entertain small govt, 2nd/1st amendment, etc. convos) because I know they do not, at all, give a single shit about the “sanctity” of life. They do…

I super appreciate her correction: there is no right or wrong way to feel about an abortion. I am extremely pro-choice, don’t regret my abortion, and am pretty sick of the “hardest choice of all” narrative. But in all this politicking women still need to be able to feel however they feel, and most importantly, know…

I have a friend who had one, as I did, and she was always kind of afraid to discuss it. I told her I understood it’s not something to run around the office talking about, but never feel bad that you had a tiny bit of cells scraped from your uterus when you were 6 weeks pregnant. My generation fought to get that…

Good on them. Keep on keepin’ on.

I’m borrowing it from someone else on Jez (wish I could find it), who said “I’m not pro-choice. I’m pro-abortion.” And I am, FOR ANY REASON. Because I do not (nor does ANYONE else) have the moral authority or right to condemn anyone for exercising autonomy over their own bodies.

Rape is a tool of war that is utilized far too often. I hope this monument gives these women a small amount of comfort, to know that people in the future will know of what happened to them.

Yes.

I feel like mine is more of a meet sleezy than a meet cute. I also met my boyfriend at a bar. He has terrible asthma. I was angrily smoking outside because I was mad at a coworker that I’d slept with who rejected me and then got all butthurt because I decided I couldn’t be friends with him for awhile. Future boyfriend…
