Elisa’s story and that surveillance footage has fucking haunted EVERYONE since it first hit the internet.

asking for supervised visits with a male who has a lengthy and public record of assault and anger issues seems pretty reasonable, imo.

One day, I hope someone invents a device that rich men could use when they want to have sex with random women but don’t want all the risks of getting them pregnant and having to pay child support.

Huh. And some men use females as punching bags. Whaddaya gonna do?

fact off

It’s insane. It’s just insane.

I’ve contacted a few people to see if I can do a photo series of people who have had to use Planned Parenthood for all sorts of procedures. Will be tricky with HIPAA so it’ll be volunteer driven, but I have a feeling people who have used its services and are proud to have had that option will want to be in a project…

Actually they did. Mitch McConnell co sponsored the bill making the use of aborted fetal tissues for research legal. It's just handy in San election cycle to forget that.

TAXPAYERS ARE NOT NOW AND HAVE NEVER PAID FOR ABORTIONS.

If this makes you angry, don’t just be angry. Do something. Write to your congressional representatives. Call them. Volunteer. Make your voice heard. Go donate $5 to Planned Parenthood right now so they can keep battling on. Don’t wait. Do it now.

“courageous

It’s been happening for years and is totally legal, but suddenly someone on the right twigged what was going on and realized what a *shocking* thing this would be, and how useful to whip to a froth those who already agreed with them, but whose rabid fervor had been lagging of late.

I was actually a little stunned because it felt uncontrolled. I prefer my rage to be more measured.

Who is even talking about abortion? We’re talking about women who need pap smears, mammograms, and other cancer screenings. If we were talking about abortion, your point wouldn’t matter because the Hyde amendment prevents any tax dollars from being spent on abortions.

I don’t believe in funding wars or a military. How can I stop my tax dollars going to that?

first, pp provides much, much more by way of health care services than abortions. so defunding them means that (primarily poor) women will no longer have access to healthcare they need. second, tax money does NOT go toward funding abortions (hello hyde amendment) but even if it did, that is a shit argument. my tax…

They haven’t paid for any abortions since 1977, dumbass.

WHAT PRACTICES? You mean the totally legal and not-secret practice of donating fetal tissue for scientific research? The only deplorable thing that happened is that A VIDEO THAT WAS EDITED TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN WAS HAPPENING WAS RELEASED.

I respect human life, and I do not want Alabama to be associated with an organization that does not.

I don’t remember giving them the rights to my life story ::takes drag of cigarette; swills bourbon; stares out window at the falling rain::
