"If you're pre-born, you're fine, if you're pre-schooled, you're fucked."

At 18 weeks my husband and I learned that our fetus had Dandy-Walker syndrome (basically missing half of his brain and presence of cysts/fluid) and limbs that were measuring weeks behind. After consulting with the top doctors at the Columbia Center for Prenatal Pediatrics, we opted to terminate. The part of his…

Yeah, I mean, and the child's lazy father won't even work 3 jobs to buy him or her the adult diapers! What a family of leeches!

Then it's his fault for having sex.

Let's assume this fetus were viable. And then it would be born with a ton of special needs and health problems and likely need care 24/7.

So, let me get this straight. Instead of allowing the fetus to die with its mother at what would have been within the boundaries of legal abortion, the law has forced it to grow to a point at the edge of viability, thus increasing the likeliness that it will have a short life filled with pain and suffering, if a life…

I wish this story was getting more national press, like when lawmakers and religious zealots tried to keep Terry Schiavo on life support and it totally backfired for the politicians because the entire nation was horrified and appalled and the politicians had to back down because it was made clear that they had…

This case is going to trial today. Read some of the details here: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2…

This family is being abused by the legal system. That their grief is being intensified by legislators is shameful.

This entire thing is just disgusting, and sad, and horrible, and all I wish is for peace for this family. This is the opposite of giving them peace. Shame on anyone who thinks this is okay and shame on the legislators who made this law in the first place. How anyone can see this as anything other than a woman being…

John Peter Smith Hospital: you've invented a whole new genre of nightmares. Torturing this family beyond imagination for the sake of some stupid ridiculous technical principle? What sick, sick fucking monsters.

Anyone who supports this is unquestionably a psychopath.

This story really has been the most depressing, vision-of-a-terrible-dystopian-Handmaid's-Tale-future I have ever seen.

And the guy in Truly, Madly, Deeply. And the hairdresser dad with the lesbian ex wife with terminal cancer in Blow Dry. And the hilarious Sheriff of Nottingham in Prince of Thieves. And the long suffering Shakespearean actor who plays a bumpy headed alien in Galaxy Quest. And, perhaps most importantly, Colonel Brandon…

YUP. The Alan Rickman who could bring a nun to climax by reading to her from the Denny's menu, that Alan Rickman.

I put about four times that amount of whipped cream on my pumpkin pie. A little "dollop" of whipped cream is like someone handing you a hamburger patty with a crouton-sized bun.

I need Benedict Cumberbatch narrating removing that pie slice. I need this in my life.

Sure, this is cute, but if I am going to fall for a disembodied voice it better sound like Alan Rickman. That man is 40 years my senior and I would. Oh yes, I would.

Really, still trying the "if you women were smart and capable you'd just control your libido and keep your legs together" thing, Republicans?

Benevolent sexism is still sexism.
