You can get hyper analytical, but it seems pretty clear that Bill has mistreated women for a long time and Hillary has done her best to be part of the machine that keeps him clean enough (and in the process rolling over those women) that they can accomplish their political goals in spite of his behavior.

That's a sick burn from Cecile Richards. Fuck this dude. Seriously.

I’m still pissed and heartbroken about losing Dr. Tiller. Making a donation today, thanks.

I know it’s so hard and painful to do, but I wish more people would talk about their miscarriages and other fertility issues. I was completely shocked when I realized how common it is, and I think it would help a lot with the feelings of failure that so many women have when they have trouble conceiving or carrying.

Thank you, I was going to ask for a link to donate. His clinic deserves a new roof.

jia, want to thank you for writing this. i am not a mom, have never been pregnant, but was moved to tears by your words and the way you spoke with elizabeth. this story is so important,and i’m glad you were the one writing this. thank you.

I felt physically in pain reading it, i can’t even imagine what she was going thrugh :(((

Hang in there. <3

I’m ugly-crying at work. I had to close my door. This story is heart-breaking in itself, but the fact that closed-minded mean little people make it so much harder is infuriating.

“fuck off”

I’m crying, too.

I have never loved any reply of yours more than I do this one right now.

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

Way to miss the entire fucking point.

Yeah, posting some links as a standalone comment right now — thank you for the reminder.

Methinks the point has flown right over your wee head.

is there any way to donate to the clinic that performed it? even if it’s just going to fix the leaky roof, they deserve as much help as they can get for offering their services to women in situations like this.

I’m not a crier. I rarely cry. But I cried now. What a brave woman. What a scary country we live in. I just dearly hope it doesn't get any scarier than it already is for anyone who is not a cishet white man.

fuck off
