Ah, grandma’s library of romance paperbacks. That’s how we did sex ed back in the olden days, kids.

I would like a week on a beach, a bottomless cocktail and all of these to go with, please.

I just want to say I saw Fabio in the Aquatics section of Petco in Studio City on Sunday and DAMN that man is fine. He even had his shirt open a few buttons too many so I could behold the hint of his abs. I died.

The real intent isn’t to help anybody.

Yes, because hard-core meth addicts are totally capable of rational thought processes along the lines of, “I’d like to do some meth but I’m pregnant and might go to jail over it.”

Say what you will about Guy Fieri, but that man is living his best life. Look at that man’s happiness! He exudes pure, unbridled joy! I don’t get it, but I’m not gonna knock him for it.

Herbs. I remember hearing about herbs you could take to induce an abortion. Pennyroyal. Black Cohosh. Folks, I don’t suggest you try this, but if you are going to do it, please do your research.

Yeah my wife and I went through an adoption... the New York City Board of Education refuses to give any paid leave for adoptive parents.. just for biological parents. Apparently 50% of companies do not give paid adoption leave.

God Bless America.

That’s just it...she didn’t have the CHOICE to not go back to work. Some parents want to go back to work when the kid is 3 mo old and that’s cool.

You know a lot can happen in the 9 months between conception and birth. What if one of the parent had to take a less paying job at month 8 into the pregnancy: should they abort? Sure that’s a contrived example but in a country of 300M, I bet that happens more often than one would think.

The comments on that article are absolutely disgusting — self-righteous, sanctimonious, and coldhearted. The problem is, I think, that Americans often lack compassion in these situations (and ditto harrowing stories of unemployment, poverty, healthcare woes, etc.) because we like to think we’ve made “all the right…

They had ONE KID. It's not like they were breeding like Duggars. If they were child hoarders, I might agree with you, but they ought to be able to have one kid. You can't always just wait and wait and wait for the economy to improve or your boss to give you a raise. I've known women who waited so long they hit…

Christ your a piece of shit. Seriously. I have no words. I could write out a whole essay on why what you said is irrelevant and retarded. You should have died instead of Karl.

They could afford the child. What they couldn’t afford (and few people can) was to be able to take care of the child themselves during the day without using a day care. The woman was the primary provider for the family since she was the one with health insurance. Being able to stay at home with your child in the first…

You mean like planning to move to a country with paid mat leave? But no- you’re right- no middle class people should be procreating. We should definitely leave that to fundamentalists who don’t allow women to work in the first place.

I too enjoy pricing human beings out of bodily functions.

It doesn’t sound like they couldn’t afford to have children though; just that they couldn’t afford to have one of the parents out of work.

+1 family is supposed to be your safe space to go until you are old enough and can deal with the world on your own. They are supposed to build you up so that you can be happy confident and carefree despite what the outside world may think or how the outside world may treat you. If she thinks life is bad for ugly kids…

I just think there are so many voices out there ready to tell you that you’re not pretty enough, not skinny enough, boobs aren’t big enough, skin isn’t pale enough, etc., etc., etc. Your home should be a sanctuary. You’ll get plenty of that out in the world; no one needs to come home to it.
