And they’ll never realize the hypocrisy of that action. The terrible conditions these mothers were in only reinforced their internal narrative that they were “saving” the child. 

1000% yes. I’m sure he thought that the Medicaid fraud was “that money being put to good use for once,” as well.

Absolutely. This kind of thing has been going on forever. Lotsa money in those chubby little cheeks.

Me, reading the headline: I’ll bet this dick thought he was doing a service, putting babies in good Christian homes.

These are the same people who stand outside abortion clinics and shout about the “undeniable bond between mother and baby!” “you will live with a lifetime of regret!!”... unless you want to sell babies for profit. Looks like we now know ANOTHER reason repubs want to keep women pregnant. They want to sell that baby for…

Women got little to no prenatal care in Utah, and in one house slept on mattresses laid on bare floors in what one shocked adoptive family described as a “baby mill,” according to court documents.

Republican, Arizona, Morman, human trafficking, defrauding government programs, somebody’s hitting conservative nutjob bingo somewhere.

Thanks for the link. The most shocking thing to me is that King George V’s doctor euthanized him so that the announcement could be made in the morning papers and not the “less appropriate” evening journals! (And also to end his suffering, I suppose.)

If you’re interested in reading more about this The Guardian did a very in-depth and fascinating write up on the plans a few years ago: ‘London Bridge is down’: the secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death

That. sounds. terrible.

Jennifer, I am WITH YOU on being set up. I feel like the basic criteria is: she’s single + he’s single = great couple!

Zach Braff did not age well. Hoo boy. 

I hate men b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶’̶m̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ and I wish I were a lesbian.

This absolutely warrants nastiness. The fact that the First Amendment does not guarantee *this particular dude* the absolute right to have *this particular speech* heard by *this particular woman* is so absolutely clear it can be dismissed on the pleadings. This judge’s actions are appalling.

This right here is a powerful piece of writing and goddamn, so many men suck so hard. My hackles and my shoulders went up reading this. I hate the pressure to stay polite both for social pressure-y reasons and safety alike. I’m sorry you had to endure this recent bullshit and five decades of this kind of bullshit.

I did once have a guy pull out my headphone to talk to me, chastising me for ‘ignoring him’; it was beyond shocking, and me realise that I’d somehow become used to guys interrupting me ‘normally’. Most recently, I was explaining to my partner why the wine was labelled vegan, and a guy leaned over to REPEAT EXACTLY…

It sounds like the judge should try being a woman for a week. He might figure it out. I’m 58 years old. For the most part I look 58 years old. I’m physically disabled. Yesterday I was at Costco and got a hotdog when I was done shopping. I sat at the first table to eat, and parked my cart at the end of the table. A guy…

Men, continuing the disappointment. 

Woodward could be part of the problem but I don’t think it’s this complicated.

WTF? What’s next, raping women to expose rape culture?
