I can hardly think of a more depressing thought than watching your child suffer with cognitive and behavioral problems and having to wonder how much of that is because you were drinking. I am sure this will be unpopular with a lot of people but I think terminating an abortion in such circumstances should be gratis.…

(1) it was a joke, playing on how poorly defined the symptoms of fetal alcohol neurological disorders are, and

Cue the “my so-and-so relative drank and her kid turned out fine” stories. No one knows the border between okay and not okay - it’s a risky game for something totally unnecessary. To be honest, if you can’t go without alcohol for this period of time then you might have a problem. Once the baby is born you can post on…

I think it’s interesting how people associated the shot with whatever illnesses they got that year. We ignore all the other factors that may have contributed to getting sick and blame the shot.

After the story came out they took the locks off, because they realized, quite rightly, they were a safety hazard.

God to Michelle Bachmann:

I think I was born without a biological clock, and my boyfriend can’t have kids. While there are many things I love about him, when we first started dating, one of the big things in the plus column for me was the fact that he can’t have kids, because then it never becomes an issue. Also, when people ask why I don’t…

also...

I decided not to have children, and this was a factor. Large families and overpopulation is the elephant in the global room. I would like to see people who choose to have huge families pay a carbon tax.

The Code 45* hopper is once again filled with raw material! There was all kinds of crazy building up inside that candy floss-topped ball of head cheese over the last few relatively quiet days. But, like always, the pressure just keeps building and building until…..BAM!! Out it all comes. El Bebe Naranja Idiota clearly…

I just tell people we don’t want to risk having another child removed by the state. The look on their face is delightful.

Honestly, if we ever get to a Prepper Revolution, I just want to die. Come over to my apartment to steal my rice and beans and kill me. Preferably as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Several years back I watched a special on Discovery channel (or History/NatGeo... one of those) that talked about different ways the world could end. Before and after each commercial break, they interviewed “regular” people about what they would do if they knew the world was going to end. At least one person said that…

I had my first at 37 and I’m southern, so I had a good 18 years of that question. The answer that worked for me was — When I finally decide to grow up. That usually sparked a conversation about how you need to be responsible (or not) to have kids. When the questions was asked by family the answer varied sometimes:

That’s awesome. Save the environment by producing less people. ALSOOOOOO be proactive in other ways. Stop eating meat. Terrible for the environment in like 12million ways. Turn off your damn lights and invest in solar panels for your home. Take public transportation. Eat local. Stop eating meat.

What lunatic has a second child just so the first doesn’t have ‘to face an environmental collapse alone.’????

My husband and his sister (different birth parents) were both adopted 5 years apart by the same couple. Their parents are amazingly wonderful humans who raised amazingly wonderful humans. Cut to: I was once relaying these facts to my boss at the time and she told me she just didn’t understand how anyone could love…

I think if I have kids I will adopt I just don’t see the sense in bringing another kid into the world when there are already those that need love.

The X-Files episode on Jan 31st started with two teenaged girls stabbing each other in the dark on a rusting ferry at a dock. In the context of the show, they were suffering from hallucinations that the other girl was a monster, planted in their minds by a third character.
