Oh totally. You absolutely can't win.

the people (women) who see the signs before it gets to this point are usually dismissed because he’s “awkward” or “socially inept” and are encouraged to “give him another chance”

The article also pointed out that his claims of being unused to drugs and alcohol are false. He has messages on his phone that refer to an acid trip and to his interest in trying a combo of LSD and Molly, as well as wax and dab. And a prior run in with the police for underage drinking.

Yes but the Sun’s headline is fantastic. Also the subheadline. It’s perfect.

It looks like lifetime donations (no asterisk), and yes it probably includes multiple presidential campaigns.

Well, he did run for president.

When she said she had to pay that much money in cash, my mind immediately went to our civil forfeiture laws, which allow police to confiscate money or goods that they believe to be illegally obtained. Sometimes their reason for saying your money must be ill-gotten gains is that you couldn't possibly need that much…

I am so blown away about how you were more into the headline, which by the way does not meet the definition of “clickbait,” instead of the actual comment. That’s what you chose to comment on? Not on how insane it is that a woman couldn’t get this done in her own state but had to fly practically across the country? The…

An abortion is an abortion. Full stop. “What kind” she had absolutely doesn’t matter—the implication that it does means that some women’s abortions are more OK than others’. Is that what you mean?

the woman deserves your respect by making the headline clear about the abortion she chose to have

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

The headline is bare-bones-absolutely-factual. You chose to read into it and you chose to jump all over Jia.

It didn’t take a different turn tho. I mean, what the headline said is literally exactly what happened.

“The woman” herself states that her right to abort is no different than any woman’s right to choose, regardless of her circumstance. Fuck off indeed.

The sad face sticker on the door really hit home for me.

I had a similar moment in high school when a teacher pointed out to me that rich people would be able to get abortions even if they were illegal while poor people would not, and would probably have to turn to unsafe methods.

THIS. When I was younger, still living at home with my conservative parents, I took a political science class at the local college. We had weekly debates, and for the reproductive rights debate, I took the anti-abortion side, because that’s what I believed. The professor asked if I thought abortion was murder and…

Seriously. I cannot even imagine having to go through all of this. To do this again, if I had personally been through it . . . I don’t know if I could. Even talking about it is an incredible thing. But it is something people need to hear.

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
