I know! I was unaware that certain defendants were entitled to a freebie if it’s only their first rape. “OK, no prison for you this time, but just be sure not to rape anybody again...or just don’t get caught next time. We would hate to send you to prison with the bad people. You don’t belong there, you’re just a…

Sexual assault didn't do that girl any good but who's counting.

Well, but honestly, so what?

Adoption is a solution for a woman who does not want to be a parent, not one who does not want to be pregnant. Abortions have existed throughout recorded history, and women will often go to shocking and dangerous lengths rid themselves of an unwanted pregnancy. It’s something that is very difficult for people to…

It is impossible to have it both ways because there are zealots. As someone who went through almost *exactly what the woman interviewed went through, I can tell you that there are a number of women, like her ( and like me), whose babies are discovered clearly not to be viable in any meaningful way late in pregnancy,…

What is your definition of viable? Capable of surviving birth only to die hours later in pain? Weeks later? Capable of breathing but with no higher level brain activity? 10% chance of survival? 5%? Does the definition change for a mother that has her own health risks and doesn’t want to die for a child that will be…

This is simply reality but it is scary and heartbreaking and so many people do not want to face it. So instead of admitting that this can happen (and actually isn’t all that rare, considering) people want to believe that late-term abortions are because irresponsible sluts just want to be able to party or some…

Thoughts and prayers right?

You think so? Because in my experience, men who hate women tend to hate gays as well. See: every MRA dude, ever.

I’m concerned that in the same breath we can believe Amber but Khloe must be in cahoots with Lamar and E! for the money.

If the woman fears for her life, believe her. No matter how shitty her family and past actions have been. I rather be wrong for believing her than other outcomes when an ex is violent and scary.

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

As the parent of a child who NEVER wears pajama on “pajama day” but DID wear a dinosaur costume to the Christmas party - yeah, the other parents TOTALLY talked shit about the parents whose kid went as a hotdog.

That’s exactly what youre doing.

We aren’t and we don’t need to be. A lot of people have some form of cognitive disability. They’re still responsible for their actions so far as they’re able to understand them. If someone’s functioning at a level where he’s able to carry out a plan to threaten to cut someone else with a knife unless she allows him to…

Why is he allowed to show his nipples? Man has boobs and he's not trying to breastfeed anyone so I see zero reason why this is ok if it's not ok for me to let my natural God made breasts out.

My brother has schizophrenia. His life has value. I could never imagine writing something like that about him. Just FYI people, stop making psycho or schizo into a slur. Stigma is a real problem and contributes to the devaluing of the lives of people who have thought disorders.

Has Matt Damon weighed in on this casting issue yet?

Every time I see a hedgehog, all I can think about is this:

As someone who has both serious mental health issues and serious financial issues, I feel the need to point out here that sure, being able to afford primo help is presumably better than trying to slog it out on your own, unassisted by professionals but it’s not as easy as hiring a housecleaner - presto! clean house!…

One time my boyfriend noticed that I had a hair stuck to my face. When he went to pull it off my entire cheek drew toward him like he had hooked a fish. When it finally released from its pore it had to have been four inches long. I look at myself every day, how did I not once see that growing!
