The only thing I can think of is that Madeleine Davies said "'equal rights" but meant specifically in the marriage context? Obviously it would be ludicrous to say that Hillary has never spoken officially in favor of "equal rights" otherwise.

I heard she changed her mind because Rob Portman came out to her two years ago, and so she realized that gay people are people too.

Dear Homos: Let's go seduce all the remaining children of Republican leaders! Recruit! It's the only thing that gets through to these people.

There are studies showing that abstract empathy abilities are activated differently in the brains of people who label themselves "conservative" vs. "liberal." So, whether this is nature or nurture or a combo, (and as sad as it is), science has so far backed up this idea that some people can only have empathy in…

This baby was not just tested for mother's antibodies. There was a confirmed viral load in the blood. It's in the abstract. http://www.retroconference.org/2013b/Abstracts/47897.htm

In the 90's the only tests available were for the antibodies to HIV. The mother's antibodies would show up in the babies, and the babies would later "seroconvert" to HIV-negative if they were not in fact infected. The difference here was that they now measure actual HIV viral load in the baby's blood.

It's not legislation.

Hate to say it, but you should have lied about the date of your last period. It's really the best thing you can do to avoid induction, if you're sure about your ovulation date. I personally have to laugh when providers insist on doing mine based on LMP, since I got pregnant via IUI (pretty sure I know what day it…

Yes, pregnant women EVERYWHERE are being bullied into c-sections. It's true! If it weren't true, there wouldn't be hospitals with c-section rates over 60% in this country (and yes, there actually are!). However, most incidents don't involve threats of police custody, like the extreme example above.

There are a lot of great answers here, and I will add personal anecdotes — I know several people who have contracted abdominal infections after their c-sections. Nasty! Aside from risks to the mother, there are a *ton* of benefits for the baby that are specific to going through the vaginal canal and being exposed to…

Actually, you're wrong. In 1996, the VBAC rate was 28%, and today, 16 years later, it is less than 10%. It was not unheard of up until several years. Even the American Pregnancy Association says that 90% of women with previous c-sections are good candidates for VBAC, and they're not exactly known to be a liberal…

What if we think feminism today largely just reifies the gender binary?

BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE THOUGH: In many European countries, like France, Germany and the Netherlands, abortion is covered by the national healthcare system. If you know you are pregnant and want an abortion, you are more likely to be able to afford to get one, and can do so within 12 weeks when it is safer.

So maybe you can explain what the heck is the point of having a rule that a Governor's veto can be overridden by a simple majority vote? Why does the Gov have a veto at all in that case? I'd be pissed if I were Governor.

ACLU will sue and win. You can make a tax-deductible gift to support litigation work like this here: https://www.aclu.org/secure/support-aclu-foundation?s_src=FNNC130001C00&ms=web_left_nav

Hey Jezebel, here's the time you posted that same video on May 27, 2011.

I think this is OUT's inaccuracy (and possibly their own trans-cluelessness). The frat page does not mention augmentation at all. It is likely chest reconstruction/reduction surgery.

I will pretend that this is an honest question. There would need to be a psychological or medical disorder in physicians' guides that clearly indicates that the patient's treatment should include breast augmentation for their physical or emotional wellbeing. Currently "small breastedness" does not count as a…

Uh, I thought the problem was that the European horse meat was found to be full of veterinary painkillers and other prescription drugs?

Toddler germs make me strong.
