I read the articles about the young women who couldn’t have abortions, and I know there are people who say they could’ve given the babies for adoption. But people don’t do that. In my state most adoptable kids are wards of the state, but no one adopts them.  

Crisis Pregnancy Centers should not even be allowed to exist.   If they want to be up front and say they are against abortion and just want to help women continue a pregnancy then fine, great, more power to them.  But to trick women into coming in and lie to them?  That is an outrage and it is intolerable and it…

Same here! Both my sons were planned. With the first one I was in labor over 30 hours, finally had an emergency c section and then was on an antibiotic IV for a week to fight the infection I developed during 30 hours of labor.  Simply put, I could have died and my child along with me.  And I wanted my son before he…

No one should be forced to end or continue a pregnancy against her will.  I get livid when these forced birthers - especially men - try to reduce women down to nothing but life support for our uterus and define our value by our uterus.  I remember the world before Roe and women will not tolerate going back to that…

I always tell people that having a kid has made me even more pro-choice. Beyond the obvious trolling, I completely mean it: no one should ever go through pregnancy and childbirth without having chosen to. If you picture the facts of childbearing objectively, it’s torture, plain and simple.

I had an abortion back in 2007, when abortion rights were constantly being attacked around the edges, but overall Roe didn’t seem to be in imminent danger. And I lived in Massachusetts, giving me an extra layer of protection. I knew as soon as I suspected I might be pregnant that I would have an abortion if I was, and…

Piece published on NPR yesterday about this.  Women trying to make due with inadequate support from Crisis Pregnancy Centers

There was an entire episode of This American Life dedicated to this a couple of weeks ago.

I was making this exact point in the comments on the original article. People read the word “yacht” and immediately think super-rich - it never occurs to them that “normal” people might ever be on a boat, let alone own one. At least 2 of the yachts that were attacked were leased - meaning the people on board weren’t…

Do you not know what reviews are? 

Not that weird.

with this backup battery that can keep your fridge running

I’m glad someone said something about the 3 refrigerators! I live in the UK with a truly dinky fridge and barely enough freezer space for a bag of ice. The thought of someone having 3 fridges is bizarre to me. I can understand having an extra freezer (that seems to be common in North America), but fridge food needs to…

If devastating hurricanes or other severe storms that knock out power for a week are a regular part of life for you, I don’t think the Anker PowerHouse 767 is the ideal backup solution.

That happened in my area. Affordable public course, playable for $10 afternoons bulldozed to build houses and businesses. A ‘replacement’ was built. $100+ a round, $50ish for afternoon play.

someone buy this for me

That seems to be exactly what the Yale writer is saying. His point was that using human frameworks to describe wild animals is pointless, but we know that Jezebel writers don’t have to read an article to summarize it!

Orca’s are wild animals, so to call them “sadistic jerks” or to assume they are “seeking revenge against humans” are both equally asinine efforts at projecting our motives onto another species. It’s just fucking stupid.

Um, it’s their ocean, Yale Fuckstick. If we invade it for the wholly elective purpose of “pleasure boating”, that’s a risk we take. Also, does this moron honestly not know that humans kill for sport as well? I guess it’s ok when we do it?

it’s driving me bonkers that everyone is calling Orcas whales when they’re the largest species of dolphin. arrrggh.  that’s all.
