Ok so the comic angle makes sense to me and that’s what I figured.

Man, I am so glad that Mazikeen finally showed her half face and also kicked ass. She was really the best part about this episode. And Amenadiel was awesome, too, after his last few appearances were just “show up, slow time, scold Lucifer, repeat.”
Thank you for sharing this. Bring issues like abortion out into the open and actually discussing it in a sane, rational way is the ONLY way that any progress will be made with it. I think that one of the biggest pieces of ammunition that the so-called “pro-life” camp has is the fact that abortion is a taboo subject to…
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve had multiple abortions due to failed pill and IUD and inheriting the most fertile ovaries ever. I have ZERO regrets and still don’t know if I want kids (at 38). I don’t talk about it much, mainly because it makes other people uncomfortable, not because I’m ashamed or…
I think it is so very brave to be telling about your experience- and penning your name- you’ve got balls and I commend you, especially in today’s climate on women’s health.
Thanks for this, it’s brave and very well-written.
Thanks for sharing. As a dude and recovering catholic I must say finding perspective and context on the issue of abortion is next to impossible. I hope your words help others with understanding like they did for me.
Since you contrasted your abortion with an angioplasty so early on, for the rest of the piece I kept involuntarily flashing back to a time when I was a little kid and was forced to sit and listen to a family friend describe his recent angioplasty in excruciating detail. To him it had been an adventure of a lifetime,…
“The abortion debate is immeasurably worse off for having been dominated by everyone except the women who actually receive abortions”
Miscarriages (also known as spontaneous abortion), in humans and in the animal kingdom, is frequently a natural response to less than ideal conditions for reproduction or issues in development. While I’m sure it is an emotional and often undesired experience, I appreciate that nature has the means to end a pregnancy…
Thanks for sharing this - it’s so important to lift the curtain on this and normalize abortion rather than let the other side’s fake sex-guilt narrative control the discussion. I’m a 40-something mom of 2, and I thought I’d followed the “right” path (birth control-motherhood-birth control, with menopause coming in a…
Pro-life, white male here. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Perhaps my circumstance makes me less fit to have an opinion on the matter. However, just wanted to quickly chime in and say thank your for sharing your story, especially in such a personal way that contextualizes the experience. I envy your ability to make…
Pregnancies. They can be the bane of our existence because they come at the “wrong” time, or not at all.
Thank you for writing this. I too had an abortion, after a birth control failure. I had three children, two of them were younger than 5. I have never regretted it, and was grateful that I had the opportunity to have a safe abortion.
Getting an abortion was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had just rekindled my relationship with my high school sweetheart. We weren’t ready and we wouldn’t have been ready 9 months later. But it brought us closer together, opened doors to conversations we hadn’t had yet, made us think about whether we wanted…
I’m glad you were able to do what you felt was right. I wish you didn’t have to take that decision, but I’m happy others made it as painless as possible for you!
Thank you for writing this. We need to be able to make these decisions and tell these stories.
Another person who is even more strongly pro-choice after motherhood. I would be happy to raise another child. But no way could I endure another pregnancy.
My IUD failed three years after my first birth, two years after a devastating spinal cord surgery that left me partially paralyzed. Everyone told me to abort. I’d had two abortions as a young woman, I made the best choice for everyone at the time. But after meeting my first child, there was no way I could ever say no…
