Anyone can tear during a vaginal birth. A doctor does not recommend a c-section because you might tear. What was the real reason her doctor recommended a section?

I agree with her though. She's not refusing a c-section. She's asking for a trial of labor and if something arises she will concede to the section. I was in the exact same position and I ended up with a section. I was ok though bc I at least got to try.

It's still her own body. People have the right to make "bad" choices about their own bodies for whatever reason they choose. What they are threatening is atrocious: send her straight to surgery that she has clearly objected to and then call in the state to take the baby they have just sliced out of her. Unlike…

Regardless, she should have the right to refuse care. She is for right now the only patient, and her refusal trumps everything.

This is so entirely a different thing. I can't adequately describe how different this is. There are reams and reams of data showing c-sections are overused, are used against the woman's wishes and have more complications than people appreciated for a long time. It's major surgery. As opposed to vaccines on which…

I have family/went to college in the Deep South and as much as I wish that racism died a painful death in the 60s, it hasn't come close. I know its everywhere but never as open as there.

This is it. Most people think that court decisions like this "ended" racism. Do you really think a generation or two is enough to change such entrenched attitudes? Gotta keep fighting the good fight.

So I'll call 911 as I'm swinging the hammer. I'll be damned if the kid is staying in the heat while I'm standing outside. Believe me, the police will be involved if I am. And I'm always going to get involved if kids are dogs are concerned.

Where do you live that it only takes 5 minutes for the cops to get there? Hell, it takes more than 5 minutes to get off the 911 phone call. Why take chances? Why not just break the fucking window?

I completely agree they should've called the cops, but Texas in the summer is brutal and they said the kids were apparently very distressed. I guarantee that if it's 90 degrees out and I see a child locked in a car, I'm getting them out right away.

For a goddamn haircut, no less. Salons usually have a place for children to wait. What a shit-poor decision maker this mother is.

I don't have children, but I nannied for a couple of years, and at no point did it even cross my mind that it'd be ok to leave the kid in the car alone. Like, I just didn't think it was allowed, no matter how quick, no matter what time of year. It's weird this is something people do all the time.

Can we just go with "never?" It is NEVER ok to leave children or animals locked in a hot car. COME ON, people. This is Texas. Heat indexes are expected to reach 105 today, you could bake cookies on the windshield of your car. And it's just gonna stay this way until October. We ALL know this. We go through this EVERY…

This just made me laugh so hard. I'm just picturing some dude in Arizona Dad Jeans and Asics being like, "Were you on the cross country team with Emily or something? Were you in the drama club carpool?" Hahahaha, I'm dying.

Oh my god, I had just finished reading a comment about Drake's buttplay stuff and my brain didn't switch over to "new comment, new topic" and I read "My dad did something very similar to Alicia Silverstone." and all I could think was "good for your fucking dad, Alicia Silverstone is hot, I'd eat her butt."

Then I…

My dad did something very similar to Alicia Silverstone.

I work my ass off to get work as a photographer and barely get any despite being a very good one. I have had a book published and been in many magazines and still never know when my next job might happen. I almost gave up completely this year. A guy like this who really and truly sucks makes me want to just through…

Turns out no amount of touch-ups can fix his face. He still looks like a penis with teeth.

Uncle Rapist also had some fixing done. His mutton chop was evened out on one side, his skin was bronzed evenly, hair was darkened, his waistline and build also looks pulled in, definitely a fair amount of wrinkle smoothing, etc. Some of it is probably stretched/pulled from her being stretched/pulled. Like his…
