Many of the people leading the fight against abortion are white cis women, i.e. people who theoretically may need an abortion (or may have already had one, and are massive hypocrites).

I follow it this way:

If someone else has a bad day at work they still get paid their entire salary, right? I usually tip closer to 25-30%, if it’s bad service I’ll go down to 15%.

No appeal doesn’t mean he was muzzled through the process.

And I’ve seen friends go through infertility treatments and multiple rounds of IVF and end up with two awesome twin girls and a marriage that’s stronger than ever. I assume we are trading anecdotes that have nothing to do with this story...

I don’t see how it’s any different at all. She wanted to have the pregnancy/newborn experience. It didn’t change how much she loved the child she already had. I don’t understand how people are twisting this into the message being “you are not enough”. The same could be said of any parent who has more than one kid. I…

Were I trying to conceive, I too would pray to God for the same thing. The leap from that to thinking my only worth as a person is defined by motherhood is ridiculous and insulting. Not everyone who is spiritual is a Quiverfull psychopath.

Jesus christ, the woman has already been through enough trauma adopting (it’s a harrowing process) and with her infertility, and now she’s gotta deal with judgy fuckers like you thinking they know better about other people’s reproductive choices.

Yes, every single American Christian woman is a brainwashed idiot, as is every woman who wants to experience pregnancy/have biological children. Congrats on being so vastly superior to the majority of the women in this county!!! You're awesome!!!!!

Speaking as a writer, and also a white dude: the adoption of mythology into a fictional world is complicated. To draw from experience—the Wild Hunt mythology for Europe. Different countries/cultures have different takes on the myth, some of them *vastly* different takes, and for the purpose of a book, for the purpose…

My personal experience is only that and I never suggested otherwise.

I have already stated that I have no race and gender specifications and don't expect a baby. Stop making assumptions, starting with assuming that I'm American.

Oh bullshit. You must’ve pulled all the muscles straining to extrapolate like that.

Well, somewhere around the mid 70's, the writers decided to sweep the Doctor’s previously established love of submissive role playing and genital piercing under the rug. There’s some brief nods to it here and there, for the die hard fans, but you have to pay close attention to pick up on them.

Woah people are so judgey about this! A person can make their own decisions. Wanting to give birth to your own biological child is a completely understandable choice. I’m positive that it is extremely important to her and she carefully weighed the risks. Please don’t call her selfish. Please don’t call the child-free…

I hate when people say “you should JUST adopt.” As an adoptive parent, there is no “just” about the adoption process. It’s emotionally grueling and can be even more expensive than fertility treatments. I mean, I, personally, have never had a desire to be pregnant. I’m totally in love with my kid and that’s great for…

As someone who was adopted as a child, I find your “concerns” pretty laughable. So there’s no way she could love her adopted children as much as her biological kids? Thank goodness there won’t be a sibling around to compete with them!

Not everybody wants to adopt and that’s ok. Also adoption is a crazy process that some people may not feel cut out for. And that’s ok too.

Can we just get it in our heads that it is not solely the duty of infertile people to carry the burden of our foster care systems? This woman has already adopted three anyways, but it seems like whenever an infertile person seeks to birth a biological child there are a bunch of people just waving their hands around…

It’s crazy how everyone keeps moving the goalposts for this woman. When we first heard about the story people said, “She’s so selfish! Why doesn’t she just adopt?” Then we find out that she has adopted children, and they said, “She’s a terrible person to have a biological child when she already has three adopted…
