That's truly fantastic. Now, let's see how long it takes for other states to get on board.

But that's the thing. They saved money and improved the quality of a bunch of women's lives.

They hear that, and they're extremely disappointed that there are now less people for them to shame.

I told someone recently that if you really wanted to get the Teen Pregnancy and Abortion rates down, you'd offer any woman who wants one a free IUD implantation and/or other birth control, no questions asked. It's glad to see some proof of that opinion.

Women's quality of lives are "more important" than saving money. I have governor envy.

Oh fine! Now they get picky about who to give home loans to...

Idk if "pearl clutching" is the proper feminist blog cliche to use in this context, because "pearl clutching" implies surprise. I am not surprised that Robin Thicke's album is creepy.

And yet, Team No Hoes is totally cool.

I know and we need more voices on why having an abortion was not the worst thing that ever happened to them.

Oh fuck ya. I lack the required biology to become pregnant but if a future daughter asked me for abortion money, I'd drive her to the clinic myself to protect her against the abortion protestors.

She is wonderful for sharing this and I agree, great that her dad was able to pull the money together for her when she really needed it.

From what I've witnessed living in the South, lots of fathers are against abortion, until it's their daughter. Then they are all for it.

Yeah, generally pull-ups are harder, but if you can get through 3 chin-ups without drama, you can almost certainly get up to 3 pull-ups.

My father was a Marine for 20 years. I have nothing but respect for the job they do. But I've met too many jarheads to think really highly of their mental prowess. Sorry. It's just reality dumping on what we'd all like to be true. Our nation's heroes are not the best people or smartest people, much of the time. We'd…

She's not even kipping. Clearly women can get strong enough to meet the sad little 3 pull-ups requirement.

I know plenty of women who can do 3 pull-ups. If the women who are trying for infantry can't do three measly pull-ups, then I have to seriously doubt their ability to hang. I'm not some military expert here, but 3 pull-ups? This isn't even a question of women vs. men— 3 pull-ups as a minimum requirement is not that…

I hope training is a wild success. I wanna see lady supersoldiers.

My future MIL teaches criminal justice and got into the field because she wanted to try and instill empathy and understanding into her students. It's disheartening and terrifying how many of her students are psychopaths. They completely get off on the idea of having power and potentially inflicting harm or death upon…

I'm not a Joan Rivers fan but something about that interaction makes me feel sorry for her. Maybe it's the condescension from the other lady with the fake smiling and gleefully poke-y questions?
