Thank you so much for speaking about your experience. I really think that the more women share their stories, the less people will be able to cling to their misconceptions about women who have abortions. You can’t easily demonize a group of people who confidently speak out about themselves and their choices.

Mine was perfectly fine. I actually felt bad afterwards because I thought it should have been more difficult and painful but it was just easy and afterwards it was like having a heavy period. I’m in Canada so it was free as well. It wasn’t the time of my life by any means but yeah... people who believe otherwise are…

Having recently had one, I just don’t think people get the different between “this was painful and difficult...for two weeks of my life” and “this is painful and difficult and I’m forever scarred”. I don't know if that makes sense. I mean parts of it were hard, it sucked, I cried. But I was actually surprised when a…

They always go for the “abortion harms your mental health” angle, forgetting that 1) getting PREGNANT is what would have harmed it in the first place because it can be traumatizing as shit, and 2) having a baby isn’t the laugh-riot good time happy pill that these chucklefucks seem to think it is. An abortion is an…

Wow, how awful that your country has yet to grant even those meager exceptions, though I guess considering them is a positive step.

Childbirth and subsequent motherhood is far more taxing on a woman’s mind and body than abortion is. People like Mr. Irons forget that, because they equate “woman” with “mother.” Those are not synonyms.

He is a scary chicken hawk conservative willing to put any & all our military in harms way for obscure deluded goals. He was a JAG and after active duty he stayed in reserves to get himself a set of colonel birds and a lifetime pension. He’ll gladly cut social services and aid to help keep lining pockets of defense…

Graham was a House impeachment manager (basically a prosecutor) during the Clinton impeachment. The grudge endures.

Agreed. I wouldnt vote for the guy when given the option to vote for a democrat, but if ever there was a race where we got a sense of what “Dangerous Radical” really means, this is it.

I think it’s easier when there is actually an existential threat to government sitting in front of you. Would I have called Graham a radical 5 years ago? Probably. But it’s weird how the rise of Trump has made it bizarrely evident that we are facing fundamental change to the nature of American democracy. Like, that…

You can like a person while disagreeing with their positions.

Agreed. He’s also one of the very few Republicans out there saying climate change is real and we should find a business-friendly way to address it.

I know his position on the issues - he’s very, very, deeply wrong. He’s anti-abortion. He’s voted against civil rights bills. He’s voted against gay rights, an issue near and dear to my super gay heart.

AGREED. He’d be so fun as a Democrat.

Plus he’s gay as a French horn, so it’s simultaneously very amusing and very frustrating that he’s a mostly party-line republican.

He is a hardline conservative on most issues who is certainly more in favor of boots-on-the-ground interventionism than the mainstream, but he’s not a “shut down the government” guy, nor is he a bigot or a cretin. Yes, he holds Republican party line positions on every issue, and no, I don’t agree with any of them. But…

Lindsay Graham, though ever the belle of the ball, is an extremely dangerous radical and I hope this latest junket doesn’t convince people otherwise.

Perhaps because of the location? As a native Texan, I would guess the same thing. Stop with the bs hand-wringing.
