I think this “eh whatever happens” approach might also be a bit of self-preservation in some circumstances. I have a friend who got “accidentally” pregnant with her first baby (happy marriage, ready for baby, financially stable so it was a good thing). They were only sort of “not trying” when it happened and they…

I know what you're going through with the pills, shots and ultrasounds. It's not a lot of fun and some will probably knock you for your choice. But, it is your choice. My surprise pregnancy was very high risk and I spent a lot of it hospitalized or in bed. But, it was worth it.

I’m not going to college. I have done everything to prepare for college, so if I wanted to in the future, I could go at any time. But I’m not planning on going anytime soon. [voice heard in the background] Kim just said, “Good girl!”

Most newborns have an immediate post-birth alertness for about an hour or so and then do sleep for several hours. It’s absolutely no sign at all that they’re going to be a “good” baby. It’s just part of the whole process.

These victims have names and faces now. You can't just dismiss them as a number anymore Carly. Look at them, their blood is on your hands because of your lies.

Wow. She found a safe place to leave her baby that she was clearly incapable of taking care of.

You should read my comment as matter of fact. The first comment you made read (to me) as though you thought it was prohibited to send the kind of demand letter described in this situation, which is not true. Your response to me (and assorted other commenters) indicated that you were being hyperbolic in your first…

“McCarthy also wondered why actors engaged in kissing scenes weren’t required to disclose their HIV status.”

First off, nobody mentioned actual violence by a pastor or other religious leader. You did. And show me one place in America that this has happened without law enforcement getting involved. One.

Amandla. Not Amanda.

I'm probably gonna die out here in the greys, but her name is Amandla Stenberg. Not Amanda.

I spent my entire life hiding my freckles. I'm glad now to hear I'm suddenly cute.

Hahahaha!!! Awesome. Glad you caught that.

That made me giggle.

She can’t win. When she refers to him as her stepson it’s, “wow way to make that distinction and not love him as your own child! You’re an evil stepmother for sure!”

it’s beautiful. it doesn’t look like anyone. i like that in a cake.

We all understand from your series of comments that you have a limited understanding of Christianity and no understanding of liberal/progressive Christianity. Hey, that’s alright! You aren’t expected to understand a foreign religion. But your statements are inaccurate, and I say that for your own edification.

As John Oliver so rightly pointed out, the “liability reasons” thing is actually a huge myth that most restaurateurs believe in:

I was on a flight on Air France, Paris to SFO, when a doctor was requested. I saw nobody respond, so I asked the flight attendant if I, being an RN, could help.
