They do not recognize when their problems are being fixed, they do not care, because as long as there are women getting abortions and non-white people thriving, they will always think something is being stolen from them.

“Convenience.” Yes, everyone knows that all abortions are had by slutty McSluttersons who care only about themselves and don’t want to worry about birth control. Please do tell me more about these illusory women and the innocent babies they slaughter out of devotion to their selfish lives.

Yes, like I said, valuing the life of the pre-born over the life of the post-born. Carry on.

Okay. Thanks.

Oh, I see. You think that medical ethics dictates that we prioritize the pre-born to the post-born so, ipso facto, abortion can’t be healthcare. Never mind, then. I thought I was dealing with someone rational.

Okay, I get it. You clearly don’t have an argument as to my question, so you’ve resorted to shifting the goal posts over and over again. Have fun with your states rights bullshit, man.

Answer the question: do you believe that people’s bodily autonomy should be dictated by state lines?

Hippocratic Oath? Jesus, but you people have a hard time staying on point.

Nice attempt to derail the conversation. Rather than go down the primrose path, maybe you should attempt to justify why a person’s right to bodily automony should be dictated by state lines. Show your work.

It’s really frustrating, especially because many established commenters don’t read the greys (for legit reasons), so it’s hard to have a conversation, even if you are trying to add value.

If that’s a question, the answer is yes it does. There are a number of medical reasons to have an abortion. What, exactly, is the definition of healthcare that you’re working with that doesn’t include fetuses?

As an eternal gray, it pisses me off to no end that trash like that gets out and I almost never do. :(

Because your rights shouldn’t depend on your zip code is why.

Why isn’t abortion healthcare?

Someone in New Zealand has given my email address to her friends (by mistake, I assume), so I occaisionally get invited to barbeques and boat trips. One of these days, I’m going to fly to New Zealand and take them up on it -- they sound like a heap of fun.

He doesn’t seem to be unable to recover, that’s for sure. Bumgarner will fuck something up and then usually be able to correct it, and Moore is a work in progress (I’m hoping he converts fully to a pitch-to-contact guy), but once Samardzija is gone, he’s gone and needs to be pulled. For who? Good question. I hear Belt…

When people find out I don’t want to have kids I always hear this: “but you’re SO GREAT with kids!”

If the bullpen were better, I think Bochy could yank him as soon as he starts to give up hits and preserve the game, but apparently Giants management figured getting Melancon was enough and let Romo, Casilla and Lopez walk.

I hear you on this. There are very different sets of criteria for guys I want to date and guys I’m just going to bang, and I don’t want to conflate the two because that results in hurt feelings all around. If I like you as a potential boyfriend and you don’t like me as a potential girlfriend, that’s cool, and we can…

NO YOU ARE NOT.
