Yes my feelings too. That’s why it’s called, pro-choice. Because you have the right to make that choice at that particular time. People’s thoughts and feelings change over time. I would have gotten an abortion if I had gotten pregnant in my teens. Being childless in my 30s, likely the only reason would be health…

I have an aunt who had an abortion and is anti-choice. She was on a medication that had a low risk of birth defects. She could have stopped it (in her case, totally an option, her condition is in no way life threatening and there are other treatments) or accepted the risk. Instead she decided to abort.

Which is her…

I feel the same way about Lohan that I feel about Amanda Bynes, Shia LeBouf, and even sometimes Justin Bieber. How fucked up would I be if I’d been a rich and famous teenager? Drinking, drugs, and/or being a general nuisance are, well, part of adolescence for a lot of people. If you’re predisposed, insert copious…

Agreed. The only thing Lindsay has ever done was be exploited and pimped out as an underage girl/child by her mother and the entertainment industry. People should be rallying around her. She was abused as a child.

In case this POS passenger is American I think I know who he voted for *insert side-eye emoji here*.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to decide how I feel about her since the story of her death broke, and I think you summed it up nicely. Putting aside the fact that she was a human being who (presumably) had friends and family who loved her and will miss her, I have so many conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I’m…

You are correct, she did not have the choice. And she initiated a fight to make choice, a choice.

I too used to think it was bad that women were treated as second-class citizens, if not simply property.
But then I changed my opinion and went to clubs where I’d meet young women and spike their drinks and rob them (if they were ugly) or rob them and get a taxi back to my place where I’d fuck them (if they were hot)…

The obituary they’re running on NPR today has audio of her talking about slitting her wrists in a suicide attempt because of the shame she felt in being “Roe.” Gee, I wonder who caused her to feel all that shame and guilt; I’d probably feel guilty as hell about biting my nails if there was a widespread, multi-decade…

Thank you for saying this and I can’t believe why this isn’t the top thread. She spent her last decades on earth protesting abortion rights. the most recent high profile that I know of being the day POTUS Obama was notre dame’s commencement speaker in 2009.

Ugh. I wish I remembered her name, but there was big thing in Canada in the 90's. A woman from Quebec fought super hard to get her third abortion. She won and had it.

I had the “fun” of debating a pro-forced birther on my sister in law’s Facebook page. I was pointing out how she was being judgemental towards people that made an agonizing decision - and then she referenced my sister in law as having “chosen life” by having her child and “sacrificed” to become a parent, and would…

That WaPo obit is DEEP. She alleges that she wanted an abortion, not a lawsuit but the lawyers pursued the suit and not the abortion because without her being pregnant they had no case.

I always want to say, “Oh, you mean the Bible that was rewritten at the order of King James specifically to justify his reign as ordained by God and to keep the social order of the era in place, thereby ensuring that the lower classes believed they were less-than because God wanted it that way and that they should not…

So she’s basically the face of “the only moral abortion is my abortion?

Pisses me off when religion is used as the reason for disagreeing with something. Give me a decent, logical, well thought of and valid argument, other than “Well, the bible says”. Couldn’t give a toss what the bible says. You may as well tell me what 50 Shades says.

I was trying to put into words what bothered me so much about this whole story, and there it is.

I just want to say a hearty f u to Bill Maher for providing a platform for Milo. I don’t watch his show as I think he’s vile, but I didn’t think he would bring Milo on and proceed to actually agree with his transphobia:

It is really soul crashing when someone says or write to you “go home”, it means you are not welcomed in the place you call home and honestly after someone say something like that the only thing that comes from my mouth is a “fuck you” because I feel so sad that I do not know what to answer.

I love to think of this as a Facebook auto-identify protest. The teens are rising up, the future is feeling brighter, and the parents won’t find out where they’ve been.
