What happened to Marlise was absolutely sick. You need more than just a uterus to gestate a healthy pregnancy, and asses like Matt Krause just don't realize that. You're not only taking away someone's bodily autonomy and ignoring their advance directives, you are asking to keep a dead person artificially alive to…

During my brother's second wedding, my niece's imperial douchebag of a boyfriend/drug supplier went into a drunken hissy fit over their relationship and tried to walk away in the parking lot with his shirt off and his pants down at his ankles. When my family confronted him he moaned about why, oh why do the families…

They are all over BC now, but weren't when my kid was in diapers a decade ago. (Oh, how I railed against the absence of men's room change tables at the time, so my husband could give me a break. I mean, they didn't even have one at Babies'R'Us, for crying out loud. Literally.)

A lot of times new construction has it, but older places haven't been retrofitted.

No, you're thinking of Pizza made BY a giant cracker.

Usually we have them here in Quebec, a province that is pretty great when it comes to parental rights. I had nothing but great experience here until, I went to a university that shall remain unnamed and realized that there was no changing table to be found, anywhere not in the washrooms, not even in the Tim Horton's…

Common out in Alberta too. We finally win something in the socially progressive category!

And I also notice that the only places where I haven't found changing tables in the men's room have been small businesses that, I assume, are saving on the expense. But I'm finding that Canada and the US are much more different than I had assumed.

haha if it's popular/common in central Canada it should be making its way east... in 5-10 yrs.

Airports and malls have them, mainly. I think some big stores like Target or Costco might as well.

Most of the malls near me have "family washrooms" but I've never seen them anywhere that wasn't a shopping mall.

Oh Chloe...what again now? mmhmmmm too crass?

Personally, I'm interpreting this as evidence that will.i.am is your mom.

Is their issue that if they fill out the form an mail it to the insurance companies, then the insurance companies will be covering the birth control in question? and if they don't fill out the form, it keeps it in a limbo where neither the school nor the insurance is obligated to provide birth control?

We were lucky to have a host of regular volunteers who mostly made up for the one timers. People who showed up every Monday morning for 8+ years to prep lunch. Or the lady who worked Tuesdays in the clothing house for 15 years. Loved them. Miss them. My pet peeve was the flood of phone calls from everyone who…

I've been to her stand up shows. We are almost the exact same size human. The big difference is that in my world as a New Yorker/lawyer/normal, my physical size is unremarkable - maybe just-smaller-than-average amongst my peers, while in her world, she's told that she's larger than life, and not in a good way. I…

I love me some Queen Elizabeth 2.0, but can we talk about whatever is happening back there???

UGH! ........THOSE kind of Christians who can quote chapter and verse including "When did we see you hungry Lord?" And then are shocked when Jesus shows up in the distressing guise of an unsteady, intoxicated person, or an angry vet who is off the meds he can't afford, or the grandma shepherding 6 hungry…

How is it that when my kids were toddlers and babies, every time change, no matter which way, meant that they woke up at like 4 or 5am? There's nothing like trying to figure out what to do with a 20 month old for the next million hours, while it's still dark out.

Amen my friend! I Spent 10 years at a similar community center. I wanted to yell - "Listen, we are NOT your POVERTY PETTING ZOO!!" And then out loud I would say..... We try to be about dignity and not photo opportunity. I also hated parents/grandparents that wanted their kids to volunteer so they could "see how…
