What?! Is this happening?

Fuck off.

Yeah. It's awful. I think it's still smart for businesses to react this way so states will stop passing these absurd laws, but in this specific case it's really hard to be glad about. I wonder if the concert had been in Charlotte if he still would have had the concert?

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. Sending you and your family internet hugs. Good luck! I hope you live in a state with more compassionate care.

It’s cruel and also dangerous to women’s health. Everyone who voted for this bill because of their conscience can fuck off. Actually post-born, fully alive humans are going to die in Indiana because of this law.

Yes. This exactly. Somehow they want to ensure that the only women allowed abortions are the ones who could most likely have afforded to raise children (not that I think these women should be forced to carry to term either, just pointing it out). I’m sure in making sure more low income women have zero access to…

Yes, and especially towards point 4, this means a woman who miscarries or terminates for fetal abnormalities (which I know they are restricting some, but I don’t think all) may not be able to get genetic testing to get answers about what went wrong.

I know. How many people make their living entirely off of being racist pricks? (Please don’t tell me the real answer to this.)

But what you’re describing is also what Rachel Dratch did in her book, which I loved. I just wasn’t super impressed by this one.

I may be far enough removed that I can’t totally pinpoint it anymore, but I’ll try. Part of it was just how often she mentioned wishing she wasn’t writing it. And while I didn’t hate the chapters written by Seth Meyers or her dad, I didn’t buy their books (plus, if i recall correctly, Seth told the same story she had…

I said this below, but I really hated her book. I still love her, but I was SOOOO disappointed. I’m really glad you still enjoyed it!

OMG thanks for showing me this. I need to get it on my DVR. I love her! She is so so funny.

I wish Amy Poehler had done this. She obviously didn’t want to write the book that I paid full price to pre-order, and I wish she had sent her money back instead of writing it. She is so funny and I love her, so it was disappointing. She could also just send my money back, and that would also be fine. Yes, it was over…

Yeah I hope you’re right. I am just shocked that any and all of this is happening. He is already backing off of this statement, which is only equivalent to not decrying David Duke as far as I can tell, so you're probably right.

Or this will give all republicans room to say this. It could go for him and against all women. I don’t think this train is stopping any time soon.

I know no one will ever read this, but I still just have to say this for my own sanity. Anyone who actually thinks about abortion, really considers what making it illegal would do not only to women and families, but to our country financially, cannot end up as anti-choice. Think welfare is a problem now? Think we…

I only recently found out this was a thing. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant, and sort of don't know what to expect if I get a wolf baby. How long did it take for that hair to fall out?

Yes. This exactly. My husband didn’t really care that I didn’t want to change names specifically because he wouldn’t want to change names either. But he had barely thought of it, whereas when I was bringing it up, I was nervous and had been thinking about if for years.

What wormhole though? One name I’ve had my whole life and the other someone else is trying to give me. That’s the entire discussion.

We’re doing two middle names, with the second being my last name. I don’t care that it’s long. It feels like my name should be there too.
