For me, it’s different because there are no bodily costs or risks to the man that results from such a decision. Women can die from childbirth. Women can die from pregnancy. These “stealthing,” guys are putting women at risk for death, injury, etc. Complications from the pregnancy could impact her future ability to…

Preston, thank you so much for this piece. It is disgusting to think that somebody could be so careless and demonstrate such disregard for another person’s bodily and sexual autonomy. I am appalled at the lack sex education, respect and ignorance that people display. Stealthing is absolutely sexual assault, make no…

25,000 children per year age out of foster care without ever being adopted. Adding more unwanted children to a system that already can’t place them all is not a solution, particularly given that only 36 percent of abortion patients are white women whose children are reasonably likely to be adopted.

When you start making statements like “women who choose to have sex need to face the consequences” you really have a problem with her behavior, you’re not trying to save babies. Why? Because the “exceptions for rape” argument is essentially saying some babies deserve to live some don’t, depends on how slutty the…

Abortion is never a “thing of convenience”. Even with the least invasive, least burdensome methods, you’re still going to be in pain and have to take a day or two off work, at the very minimum. No one who has had an abortion would prefer one to safe, effective, convenient, no-side-effect-having contraception, BUT, not…

I haven’t met a single woman in my entire life who thought of her abortion as a “convenience” and shrugged it off. It’s a serious medical decision that requires a great deal of thought for any woman. To say it’s just something people do when they don’t want to deal with the “consequences” of unprotected sex is really…

I just don’t get people who don’t think abortion is a consequence. When those people spill milk on the floor, do they leave it til it molds? No, they clean it up. When they get diabetes, do they wait for gangrene to take their limbs? No, they take insulin. Abortion IS a consequence. Abortion is not fun. But it many…

Nice freshman comp essay, though a tad unoriginal. Most of us are past that now, though. Women have the right to control their own bodies and make their own moral and ethical decisions about how to do so. They don’t need your two-bit moralizing about compromise. End of story.

Bringing children into the world that die of disease due to lack of medical care, or starvation due to lack of food, isn’t murder. The people who create the policies that deprive children of necessary medical care and food aren’t considered murderers.

Eh, you could almost maim my kids and he’s not notice, especially if he had food in his hand. I’m gonna be pretty pissed about it, though.

That first one though. “Why the coloreds are somehow able to temporarily comport themselves as if they were real humans, will marvels never cease?”

Juicero is really getting beaten to a pulp in the news.

Do not read this reply if you are unable to take someone being extremely abrasive and cold. I will not spare you a single detail or truth, and will likely as a result trample all over your sentiments.

Yes you very much can.

Does anyone else feel like 2006 has awoken and is coming for us all like some kind of vengeful elder god?

The first job I had out of grad school was at the UK company that produced the original version of this show, Changing Rooms. One night I was at the pub and I caught the latest episode, wherein one of the couples had a meltdown at how fucking UGLY the result was, including portraits of the couple as Nell Gywnn and…
