Honestly. Is this what Republicans think will happen? Silly me, of course not. They think motherhood is a woman’s greatest calling and always, always a blessing.

You know there’s like a very small minority of women who really regret their abortion (which they have a right to feel) and are militant in their conviction that all other women who have had or will have an abortion will feel that way. These crazy right wingers just exploit those very very few women for their own…

Because some asshole pro-lifer will make the rounds of dr.s offices pretending she wants an abortion, and rat out the doctors who don’t comply with the letter of the law. She will describe this as her Holy Duty.

That’s the insidious thing about a lot of this shit. Its ineffective even to the goals they're trying to do. I'm sure somewhere there has been a few successful attempts to persuade a woman into not having an abortion. But by and large these cheap guilt trip tactics just don't work. So at this point, these types of…

I wonder if they think a woman, on having to pay for an ultrasound and the abortion will decide, fuck it, it’s cheaper to just carry the pregnancy to term and care for a child.

It's infantizing women to think they don't realize that and know what they are doing with their bodies.

you know what else is an irreversible decision??? HAVING A BABY

Yeah, a kid is temporary though. You can totally backpedal on having a kid.

Do these people even hear what they’re saying? Yeah, because women are too damned stupid to figure out that an abortion isn’t reversable. Because they haven’t thought about it at all, they just showed up on a whim. “Hey, I’m not doing anything, why not get an abortion? I can always change my mind later.” Happens every…

Does showing the ultrasound ever actually convince a woman to keep the baby? Most women have made up their minds by the time they’re at the clinic, I assume.

He doesn't just need to resign, he needs to be brought up on charges of extreme criminal negligence. This guy shrugged his shoulders while tens of thousands of people were poisoned.

It was never about the source of the water, it was about failure to add anti-corrosion agents when they switched sources, thus leading to corrosion of the lead pipes.

It was never about the source of the water, but about how they were treating the water from the new source. They were not using the same anti-corrosion elements, so when they switched to using the same water as Detroit, without having an anti-corrsion system in place, the pipes corroded, leading to lead poisoning.

They switched back in October, I believe. The damage was was already done from the contaminated water that they need to completely overhaul the infrastructure.

Actually, the main reason she was elected was because she was pushing to find out the truth about the state of the water. She’s spent her entire time in office trying to fix this — and being ignored.

You picked perhaps the least offensive one there to make an example of though. The rest are rather... terrible.

Men aren't described like objects. They're looks are usually not in the description unless it's part of the plot or a character trait. Also they often have words that denote personality.

I think it’s more sad than anything. Both a sad level of self-involvement and a sad undergirding of self-loathing.

also...sad. i think everyone should should feel like they look perfect on their wedding day. i hope her main takeaway from her day wasn’t that she was only an 8 and could’ve done better.

“I was 8/10 happy with how I looked…pretty good!”
