I agree with you - I simplified my position for the sake of brevity, and lost some coherence in the process. It’s definitely more complex than fetus not alive until born/then baby and alive. Most people get pretty uncomfortable with third-trimester abortions, because a premature (but otherwise healthy) baby born by…

What the hell is this “legacy admissions” shit?

Yep, affirmative action is all about disenfranchising the poor, put-upon whites by giving those lazy minorities an unfair leg-up. FFS.

Fair enough. Reading comprehension fail. Thanks for the correction.

Man, that’s barbaric.

I think a lot of people simply haven’t thought deeply about it, and don’t see the inherent inconsistency. They don’t like the idea of “killing a baby”, but realise it’s deeply inhumane to force someone to carry a rape pregnancy to term. They see “no abortion except for rape, or health reasons” as a reasonable…

So he’s written an extended Facebook post about how terrible his party, and especially Trump, is, and voted to support all their terrible legislation. Think there’s a word for saying one thing and doing another...it’s on the tip of my tongue...starts with H...

Fanatical, fundamentalist, theocracy-seeking assholes cloaking their assholery in religion, have more in common with other fanatical, fundamentalist, theocracy-seeking assholes misusing a different religion; than they do with reasonable people quietly following said different religion. Who would have thunk it?

I suggest everyone drop this man a note saying that you support his actions and thank him for his stand. Many people have made very moving statements in the comments, but he probably won’t see them here. He’s risking a lot and will probably get a lot of hate for his public defiance. Let’s try and balance it.

I was mainly wondering about “Life begins at Conception” people in general. I realise that most anti-abortion legislation make exceptions for the pregnant person’s life being in danger, and ectopic pregnancies would be covered under that.

What a spectacularly stupid question. Why shouldn’t the main character be black??

Best case scenario; the Civilian Oversight Board has such lax security and gun storage procedures that a random was able to come in off the street and steal a weapon.

There was a video taken in Australia (of course!) a while ago showing a spider dragging away a mouse it had caught and killed.

Wow, what a piece of shit. When I first read the headline I thought he’d said that to Janet Mock’s face, so I’m relieved that at least that didn’t happen. Trans people just want to live their lives, and shitheads like these people keep hurting and killing them for...? I don’t know. I hope these idiots take a good…

WOULD WATCH! Phillip Glass’s style would be a very nice fit to evoke Trump; extreme repetition of a very small amount of musical material, and painfully loud.

Serious question; what do these “no abortion for any reason” nations do about ectopic pregnancies? They’re guaranteed to end in the death of the fetus and put the mother’s life in grave danger, and the only treatment is to remove (in their language, kill) the fetus.

I can completely see that; the medical evidence alone would probably be complex, and I know it’s much harder to get convictions for long-ago offences. But it would be nice if the DA’s office had given a statement saying they weren’t pursuing it because of the low probability of securing a conviction, rather than the…

I was just thinking this sounds like the backstory of a Maury Povich paternity episode. I’m now imagining The Mooch (and his new girlfriend, played by Donald Trump in a (different) wig), screaming She’s just a slut, Maury, she was sleeping with everybody! and That aint my baby!. Possibly throw in my personal…

Would love some more detail on why no arrests are expected. Insufficient evidence? Expiry of statute of limitations? Shooter is dead? Any ideas?

My son was born 3 weeks before his due date and was very slow and inefficient at feeding until about the time he was supposed to be born. He didn’t need any special intervention because he was MASSIVE - over 9lb - and had plenty of resources to draw on until he got the whole feeding thing sorted out. A 6lb baby…
