Good God I hope it doesn’t come to that. Even if we have a conservative court, I would hope they would have the common sense to realize that overturning Roe wouldn’t stop abortions from happening and that it would kill a lot of women who try to do it themselves.

I’m only a law student here - but here’s my two cents: In Roe v. Wade the Court divided state regulation of abortions into three trimesters. Banning abortion in the first trimester was deemed unconstitutional. However, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey restrictions on abortion could be imposed (waiting periods, etc.) in…

So, here are some gems. First, the job title for the Sales Associate is “Model.” I am definitely not model material - don’t know why they even hired me. The store managers scout the mall and look for people who have that “Abercrombie look” in order to find employees - like it’s some privilege to be invited into the…

I am embarrassed to say that in college I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch for a year. I was one of those girls who had the very boring job of standing at the entrance of the store for hours and saying “Have you tried our sexy fleece?” to every customer who walked in. I also had the delightful job of dousing their…

Why would you make a brown corn pop? I don’t think it goes so far as teaching kids racism. I doubt they’re examining all the corn pops on the box and equating it to race - that’s a bit extreme. I’ll save my anger for states’ efforts to re-segregate the south and racist voter ID laws. Just change the corn pop back to…

Shout out to the Harvard Brain Bank, the largest brain bank in the world - literally thousands of brains in jars. Consider donating if you feel comfortable!

THANKS Captain!

This is completely unrelated but WHEN IS JEZEBEL POSTING THEIR ANNUAL SCARY STORIES?! I need to read them until the wee hours of the morning and then look behind the shower curtain before I pee to see if there are any monsters.

I can’t sympathize with a lot of these women because we are only shown half the picture. Some of them say they can’t afford to feed their kids or they were using drugs (in which case your kids should be taken away). In other instances, we are given so little information that I find it hard to believe they weren’t…

There’s no way she could win against all that money. Sadly, I don’t think I would report a sexual assault.

These border vigilantes need to be put down. People who try to enter the U.S. without proper visa documentation largely need to be turned away, but at the same time you also need to know what the non-refoulement of refugees is, as an example. I doubt these rednecks are well versed in international law. I do wonder if…

I’m waiting for Roman Polanski to weigh in on Harvey Weinstein.

I was reading Contemporary Issues in Labor Law (think carefully, future lawyers, about whether you want to spend $200 on these bestselling page-turners) and one of the case notes had a Spice Girls lyric (“tell me what you want, what you really really want”). It was not funny. The sad part is the young students…

I often wonder what it will take for the world to realize how much worse their lives will be in a few decades if we do nothing about climate change. I think it will have to be a catastrophic, apocalyptic occurrence like in the Day After Tomorrow (horrible movie).

Can we please stop with this Lolita bullshit about how the young girl “lured” the man into behaving inappropriately? This whole “men can’t control themselves” excuse needs to die a quick death. She’s a child. You are an adult. You should know better.

You need to follow the NY Public Library Instagram page. They post old questions that people have asked them in the past and they are hilarious.

In my fantasy land, I like to pretend that Ivanka has some brains and is just scared shitless to go up against her creepy psycho dad and so she says robot phrases in an attempt to placate him. Again, it’s my fantasy land. I sure as shit wouldn’t want to be Melania, but she dug her own grave.

I found a “Pride & Prejudice: Wanton Edition” at a bookstore and I hate-bought it and hate-read it. It was the original P & P text with “saucy bits” in bold added in. It was so bad but so entertaining. Rated R version of P & P should happen.

Mostly unrelated, I just had a Children and the Law class last night, and we discussed when/if a fetus can become a child for purposes of child protection statutes. There is a case where a woman who, for religious beliefs, did not want a C-section (she didn’t believe in blood transfusions and believed it was God’s…

I actually went to a women’s mental health center at my hospital and the doctors basically just study pregnancy and psychiatric medications. They have decades of research into what medications are safe for pregnancy/breastfeeding and any risks to mom and baby. If you live near Boston, the center is at Mass General…
