HOLY SHIT THE CROQUEMBOUCHE TO END ALL CROQUEMBOUCHES!!!!

Just imagine all the teensy coffins men would be forced to buy for the jacked-off sperm. Equal time motherfuckers.

OMG, you could put the little embryos in your mini fairy garden cemetery!

I was? Why didn’t my mother get the memo?

As someone who works with donated body parts, all the handwringing about the tone of the discussions just about made my head explode. The videos I saw were perfectly fine; the tone was matter-of-fact and not sentimental, but that’s how everyone who works with any kind of donated tissue or bodies talks. If we all had…

That’s the nicest thing you could say, and just made me tear up a little. Thank you for being such a positive, lovely person! You're the best.

You are (and have always been) so right on, so funny, so quick. But sometimes you operate at a level that makes me shake my head in awe.

This is an awesome comment, but it does make me wonder; has anyone challenged the constitutionality of the similar laws in AR or IN about the required designation for burial / cremation? I’m just trying to actually get my head around this legally, and I believe I know what these laws are really about, but honestly,…

You are officially awesome. Sorry no cash award to go with this. But this comment of yours gives me hope.

31 weeks here, had a miscarriage at 9 weeks a year ago, I would have gladly donated as well. Once again all they want to do is limit our ability to make choices for ourselves. Enjoy the next 8 weeks, if you can find a comfortable position to exist in feel free to let me know!

There was a really interesting podcast (maybe Radiolab) about a family who had donated the tissue from either a necessary late term abortion or stillbirth (can't remember the exact details) and basically how fetal tissue is so so valuable to research labs that it's treated like gold.

But the Right gets to fight abortion AND science with these laws! Win-win!

The whole PP video about the OMGsellingofbabyparts did not bother me at all for this reason. And I don’t care whatsoever about the manner in which it was discussed either. Why wouldn’t you want the tissue to be of use? Pfffft.

Breaking news from Ohio: A new law will require that any woman who has an abortion must hold a full age appropriate birthday party for the fetus every year until said fetus is 18 years old. Furthermore, said woman must include fetus in all holiday card photos and will take to Disney world at least twice in said…

Exactly! I'm 21 weeks and if something happened I would absolutely donate.

I just HATE that the fearmongering is cutting off one of the best positive parts that can come out an abortion or miscarriage - the potential for some remains to go to science, to help other fetuses or humanity in general.

As someone suggested in the last Jez story on this topic, maybe it’s time to start sending these legislators used pads and tampons, because embryonic tissue.
