Speaking of glue factory, I was just reading Madeline in London to my four year old last night. "Some poor old dobbins are made into glue..." That was a fun thing to explain. Almost as fun as explaining what an organ donor is. (Take note, Jezzies. If your kid sees the heart on your driver's license, tell them it…

I'm a self respecting, democrat woman who loves her bodily autonomy and can afford to move, and I live in the south. I live in the south to protest for women who cannot afford to move, I live in the south and am a clinic escort( and I make post procedure blankets for women who use abortion sevices too). I stay in the…

This is a really good ad for getting pregnant.

It's like certain factions of my BabyCenter message board come to life!

"Because – let’s be clear here – according to current Florida law, you can get a gun, follow an unarmed minor, call the police, have them explicitly tell you to stop following him, then choose to ignore that, keep following the minor, get into a confrontation with him and if at any point during that process you get…

Jenny McCarthy is your new co-host.

Um, yeah, this exact scenario has played itself out several times and it ended exactly like one would expect. To be fair (and I'm a lawyer) I don't think the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt. And for that, as a criminal defense lawyer, I think the jury did the right thing. But the other questions that…

Sadly, I have to agree. The problem (and the brilliance) of our legal system is that one's guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and that the prosecution bears the responsibility of proving their case. The burden is high, and rightfully so in my view, so that we minimize the number of false convictions. The…

Seriously, people, read the rationale for the stand your ground provision of Florida law. It was designed to make it easy for people in GZ's exact situation to avoid having to prove they acted in self defense by making it the State's job to prove that he did not (1) Fear for his life or grievous injury and, for a…

What a shock. A bunch of white women in Florida think it's okay to shoot a black teen male to death. I mean, we are talking about the place that didn't want to bring him to trial to begin with.

I can't think about this too much. I prefer to stay numb and move on. If I think about it I'll just start crying. I can't even process it.

Okay, I'm done. I'm full of rage. I want to take Texas from the GOP in 2016. I want to light it up blue. I want to see apocalyptic Facebook posts as the GOP watches its cornerstone state, the bedrock of its craziness, crumble into a sea of orange-T-shirt-wearing ladies waving tampons and maxipads in the air. I want…

As my mother likes to say, "What I eat don't make you shit".

I take issue with this:

I'm seeing comments along the lines of "200 people? I don't even know that many people!" Etc. I know your type. I was your type. Then you realize that, in many circumstances, the guest list also has to accommodate your parents' guests, your fiancé's guests, and your fiancé's parents' guests. Numbers get big…

This article actually points to a larger problem with how we, as people, live our lives in the US: defined mainly by our occupation. I hate this stuff, because it's so dehumanizing and reductionist. These arguments all miss the goddamn point: we are all people, and people aren't summed up in simple titles. I am not…

I love you, Tracy. Your column almost convinced this childless blowhard to have a baby. We tried for one year. It didn't happen and I'm fine with that. Especially after reading this.
