No, they’re slowly pushing back the fetal age restrictions. Right now they’re trying to make it illegal to get an abortion after 20 weeks. In a few years, it’ll be 16 weeks. Eventually it’ll be 6 weeks. Then never.

The women i really feel for are the women who would very much love to have a child (or another child) if it wouldn’t mean disability, death or (maybe most commonly?) complete financial ruin. In those scenarios, it’s the best choice that’s no choice at all. Gestational slavers are usually in the “bootstraps!” camp, and…

THIS is what makes me furious. Past 20 weeks, the mother is usually saying goodbye to a wanted pregnancy. Half the time, they’re ending it because the child’s quality of life will be too poor and they don’t want to give birth to a baby who will live a short painful life and then die. So the woman and doctor involved…

Yes, thank you. I grew up in the 60s when lots of pexpletive talked about revolution by any means necessary. They imagined themselves as modern day Robin Hoods or something, really enjoyed it. But one of my earliest memories is thinking, these guys don’t really know. They’re sitting around, warm and with a full belly,…

Yes, exactly this. The extreme reforms that Bernie is running on are undoubtedly good policies but they are also policies that require several election cycles of foundation laying. You do not go from 30k college tuition fees to free for everyone overnight, nor can you go from an overly-privatised healthcare system to…

I question why these people are so certain there will be any kind of revolution—violent or otherwise. Two Bush presidencies weren’t enough to push the democratic party to be more progressive. Why do they think a Trump presidency would? The masses are pretty easy to keep quiet. The poor are working too hard and have…

It’s not entitlement to campaign on behalf of what you actually believe, and the longer we think that it is, the more middle of the road bullshit we will receive.

Yeah, Susan, the idea is to progress without The Actual By God Blood-in-the-Streets Revolution. You want Trump picking some Supreme Court justices and pushing the entirety of progress back by a couple generations?

This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…

I have plenty of things to worry about! I am also, however, a human being with a functional human brain, and can even in a single day have many different thoughts and feelings about many different topics. Having an opinion—and frankly, a popular one—about Batman v. Superman that I express on an article about Batman v.…

I think it’s because people want to see DC make movies as well as Marvel and are getting sick of Zack Snyder’s grimdark “He smiled so i must kill him” style. But if the movies makes money then WB has no incentive to make changes.

“Why is Batman fighting Superman?”

The Phantom Menace

What’s #7? I’m thinking of six - the SW prequels and Hobbit movies going by the picture.

If I’m honest, there is only one thing I need to know about fundamentalist Islam. It breeds people whale shit that want to kill others for not following their very narrow interpretation of 8th century thinking. They are literally so out of date as to be rotten to the core.

...the park-goers mostly consisted of families celebrating Easter;

I know your type. Your first question is “how can I first shit on my morally inferior peers?” rather than horror at the direct attackers.

I agree that the “detail” was only inferred, but I wonder how applicable the label of “hate crime” is in this case. Sunni terrorism seems to hate everyone and want everyone to blow up.

This needs to stop. This really just fucking needs to stop. The amount of impotent rage I am feeling right now against those fucking bastards. If there’s a hell I hope they burn in it

Yes, thank you for bringing this up! When laws are passed like that horrible Indiana one that forbids abortion in cases of fetal abnormalities/defects, I don’t think those lawmakers even take into account how agonizing that choice can be for women who very much wanted to have the baby.
