One already loses such control while pregnant just through the process—it is appalling how other people devalue/infantilize/criminalize pregnant women.

Um—you know bulls are male, right? Human men =\= only males.

I disagree—the dog pays no attention to the child—this is not teaching behavior.

I totally had the same thought—that dog should be seen by a qualified animal behaviorist and possibly medicated before the shadow-chasing gets worse.

You could say the same thing of heterosexual marriage for most of history—the woman was usually chattel for the man, and not until recently in most cases could women move to dissolve the union.

I WANT TO SNURGLE THEM SOOOOO BADLY!!!!!! I love my doggie (Brittany mix) but Cavaliers!!!!!!!

If it had been her cats in the car she wouldn't have needed surgery. She would have needed a hearse. #catsgetitdone

So I guess my real rant should be at the people who consider this a story of love—because as a child and now as a parent, most people that mention The Giving Tree call it "sweet" and think it's "beautiful" how the tree loves the kid. The issue is the people who do not see this as a cautionary tale, but as something to…

I'm a mother too, and while I do give a lot for my kid, and love her unconditionally, that doesn't mean there is no boundaries. I'm not going to let her take all my stuff or tear the house down if she wants, because it would make her happy—even parenting has better boundaries than that poor tree.

The book doesn't seem to be against the boy, though—-he takes it all, and then has a comfy seat when he's old.

I like much of Silverstein's poetry—but The Giving Tree incites a rage stroke.

As a woman who did the whole pregnancy thing, I'm still bummed that we didn't have artificial wombs so that I could have avoided the hellishness of it.

Back in 1992, I looked JUST LIKE 1992 Chelsea Clinton. Like, stopped for autographs, completely like her. Of course, that was her "ugly" phase—once she got more "attractive" I looked nothing like her. I'm still not sure how I feel about that particular interlude in life.

Does France have enough torches and pitchforks? Because now is the time.

fact-checking and sources, please?

Did you miss the part where the hospital has already responded? At the least, they will review this to improve PR. Also, many states will, if the verdict is in the plaintiff's favor at all, force the defendant to pay legal fees on top of any damages.

that is so so sad. I'm sorry for your loss .

Token is Jewish.

Those people are all awful! Especially the other mothers in that group—-they should have your back and support you!

Good for you! Who throws a sheet over someone without being asked?!?!
