Because, you know, ambulance services don’t exist...

An emergency room wouldn’t refuse a patient that needed medical care... In the case of Texas as well, women are travelling 3-8 hours to get to a clinic. If she has a problem 2 days after the procedure, what good is it for her doctor to have admitting privileges 30 miles from the location of the abortion? Serious rates…

“what had happened to this once-promising young man.”

“I hoped to explore the question of what had happened to this once-promising young man.”

An OB complication is not the same as a complication during an abortion, and you don’t get a medical degree through osmosis, or your dick. Telling war stories at a dinner party is literally anecdotal, you twit.

So, you didn’t watch the video and see that the chances of that are minuscule and you are 10 times more likely to have complications during a colonoscopy, let alone a pregnancy? Nevermind, you clearly live in your own reality.

Fucked up that these laws exist. Va resident; we were carrying a child that had zero chance of reaching term (trisomy 18), spent two days in Richmond for the abortion. I can’t imagine someone without the means to have the procedure go through this. Again, fuck those who think there is “no” reason to have an abortion.

The story about the 13 year old rape victim is heartbreaking. If that doesn’t meet the standard of “undue burden”, such a phrase is well and truly meaningless.

Sorry, but is the snark aimed at him for “noticing” this really necessary? I haven’t been able to watch the video yet, but judging from his past segments I really doubt he’s guilty of any mansplaining or something similar. Why not simply praise the show for doing a (presumably) well-informed piece on this issue and…

That makes NO sense. You are talking about people whose outfit doesn’t match up to expectations. The article is talking about ascribing expectations to an outfit.

There are two sides to the “dress how you want to be addressed” in that it’s appropriate to expect someone to adhere to some basic social norms in specific situations. I.e. if you show up to a bank interview (male or female) in a tank top and shorts, you’ll likely not get the job. If you show up to a basketball game…

Dude, nice try, but...no. Actual German person here and Merkel gets called out for her appearance ALL the time in the German media. Like, literally every goddamn time she is in front of a camera someone will call her ugly, frumpy, fat, old, bitchy, etc. And her clothing choices have been criticised from the very first…

“1 Almost every single arctice about of huffpost link is about social media reacting negatively about schools enforcing dress codes on students.”

Or: a male news anchor wears the same suit every day for a year and only his female co-host’s outfits get criticized.

I thought we were talking about business attire? School dress codes are a different animal, particularly because they are generally less concerned about whether an item is too casual, and entirely concerned about whether or not an item of clothing is revealing or “distracting,” which makes them much more likely to…

Absolutely no mention of the phrase ‘slut shaming’ in either of those two links. In fact, the first is a slide show about how ridiculous these so called ‘violations’ are. Certainly not examples of what I was asking for.

...because school dress codes are pretty much only enforced on girls. I know, because I work in a school. The only boys that get called out are the ones with alcohol or drug references on their shirts, and even that is rare. The answer to, “Do boys get reprimanded for violating dress codes?” is “Mostly, no.”

Good on you for trying, but I doubt you’re going to have any luck using reason or reality. This charming gentlemen is pretty clearly far too invested in his belief that are men are the real victims of sexual harassment because the poor things sometimes get criticized when they do it.

guys who seem to think that the whole issue is whether it’s “fair” or “right” for a person to suddenly change their mind about sex.

To me, what it comes down to is this:
