Also, the fuck is with the accompanying picture? Safer cuddling up with that baby they didn’t want? Safer AFTER the risk of pregnancy, complications, and birth has passed? Safer being in financial or emotional distress? Yeeeaaaah, Okay.

I was raised in a Methodist church, although it was arguably a fairly liberal church. I went to Sunday school, sermon, youth group on wednesday night, church camp in the summer. I’d say my social circle throughout life has been a largely anti-religious one and when I express I am happy to have had the experiences I…

This is slightly off topic but would you mind sharing what airline you used? I’m preparing to do this soon with my cat...

This is great! I love her, and for a time I was neighbors with and babysitted for a few of her grandkids. She sadly never came to visit, but they did gift me a book of photography she had signed. She was badass, and her grandkids were wonderfully sassy and smart, too.

My guess would be she made up the psychologist part in order to try to give her decision some sort of backup and to defend herself from having the full responsibility.

Hooked up with an ex recently, Kate Flannery is not wrong.

Thanks! I think I’ll talk to my neuro about it next time I see her. My migraines have gotten worse over the last 5 years (~10 a month, one or two being pretty disabling, a few stops at the ER a year) I thought it had something to do with my age or whatever, but in the same 5 years I’ve gained 3 cup sizes.

Oh shit you just blew my mind. it really helped her migraines?! I have horrible migraines and they present with shoulder pain, I’ve never considered my boobs to be an issue there but that makes a lot of sense...

Hey, we’re boob twins. I’m terrified of pregnancy, I think if I went up a cup size or two during it I’d lose it.

Good for her! Boobs are fucking frustrating. I went from a B to a C at 21, and then from a C to a DD/E at 23. At this point I’m not a fan of my boobs and more often than not they make me angry, uncomfortable, broke (these bras are so spendy!) and bring about so much unwanted attention. If I had the $$$ I might…

What the fuck is with this language, “The lion I took” and “resulted in the taking of this lion”

Is it like some attempt at a linguistic trick to not say “The lion I shot with a bow, allowed to suffer for 40 hours, shot, skinned and beheaded.” or “resulted in the inhumane and pointless killing of this lion.”

Seriously.…

Thank you! I don’t have it in me to have empathy for someone who likely had about nine months to figure out ANY alternative and just decided “nope, I’ll just murder this infant instead.”

What? No no no. Its wrong to kill people and a newborn is a PERSON. Is this the same Jezebel where earlier every one was RIGHTLY condemning a man who killed some women and also condemning the idea that mental illness was to blame for his actions? That condemnation goes for EVERYONE who chooses to murder another…

My only question is who is funding these teens? That shit is expensive if you just pick it up at a pharmacy, especially if said teens are banging semi-regularly. I was a frugal teen and got on the pill for free through a clinic inside my school. This clinic might also be why we only had one pregnancy in my graduating…

I’m not sure of your sitch, but your words could have been my own about 5 months ago. You’ll get through it, even if it is hard or heartbreaking or just fucking terrible. You’ll come out on the other side and you’ll be okay. Hugs.

People hate to hear it, but my abortion was heartbreaking and I fell into a pretty harsh depression afterwards. It was still the right choice, I would still do it over again if I had to. An abortion WAS pretty close to the last thing I wanted, but at that time in my life it was better than the alternative and I am…

I agree, but the flip side is also true. I had an incredibly difficult time with my abortion, it was the last thing on earth that I wanted to do. It was still the right choice, and I don’t regret it and I had an amazing feminist minded therapist to help me through the depression I suffered afterwards- but it was…

Step 1: Openly shame and judge other people, particularly women who portray their sexuality
Step 2: Demand not to she judged upon second pregnancy
Step 3: Literally profit.

Yup. I’m just under 6’ and I generally will give any guy within a few inches of my height a chance, because I know I limit myself to a smaller pool when I’m picky, but having a taller/same height partner makes me feel NORMAL. I’ve been trying online dating lately and quickly learned that guys lie about their height,…

This is so disgusting to me. I think of women, like myself, who have abortions under difficult circumstances. In my State I acquired a medical abortion quickly, safely, and had easy access to supportive staff to help me. In my situation it still was really rough on me emotionally and physically, I can’t imagine adding…
