Some of us are made to feel ethnocentric by the sorts of people who would say, "who are we to place our Western beliefs on others?"

Scratch the surface in any number of those places and you'll find that there are still PLENTY of abortions happening, including on people who claim they're anti-abortion.

I think the differentiator (sp?) in a case like this is, if they don't want an abortion, I'm not going to make any of them get one. Having the choice available does not hurt them in any way. Whereas if I require one, they will do everything they can to stop me. By allowing choice, we are imposing nothing. But by…

If you don't want an abortion, don't have one. Pretty simple.

We've gone to war with other countries because they didn't believe in our god or our capitalism or our right to colonize and imperialize and exploit their land and people for a near infinite variety of reasons.

I think you can answer your own question by answering this one: has the US ever gone to war with another country because they were anti-choice?

Hoping this means good things for the ladies of Texans. It's ridiculous that we have to compromise like this: "Oh, sure, it's good news if we only close half the clinics in Texas now, a state with a ton of women and a ton of poverty." I mean, I'll take it if that happens, but it's still disheartening as all get-out.

RE: #3: I am not allergic to latex, but condoms make me itch like I have been rolling in poison ivy for days. No idea what it is that causes it, but we have tried multiple kinds... I suspect now it is in my head, in addition to a legit something in a particular brand. So, I will stick to my mirena.

I hate condoms, they smell gross, and they can break, and I know a lot of guys who will totally lose a hard on when they are asked to put one on or try to.

Is it that hard to believe that some women prefer sex without condoms as well? Not to mention that condoms can fail, and other kinds of BC provide a second layer of defense in case the worst should happen.

Don't flush pills away. Any pills. Ever.

Turn him in. Honestly. And your old group is full of absolute jerks. Death threats...because someone is willfully ignoring the fact he is HIV+?

Did it occur to you that she married him anyway and maybe defended him to the NFL because she's fucking terrified of him?

I'd like to note that (to my knowledge) nobody in the media has called Ray Rice a distraction. So a guy who beats women isn't a distraction, but a dude who happens to prefer men to women is one.

Unless you are obtusely referring to the time Marie Olbermann was hit by a foul ball at a Yankees game, this is a little out of line. Marie Olbermann passed away several years ago from cancer. You may not like Keith Olbermann, but that is no reason to drag his late mother into it.

Do you really not see the point I'm making there? Its the "she deserved it" argument. I'm sorry, but despite his small stature, Rice is a jacked dude. There's no reason, particularly in a confined space, that he couldn't have restrained her—forcefully, if need be—if she was really attacking him. Clocking her so…

100% agreed. I listen to the show via podcast (mostly for Kornheiser—PTI is the only thing I can tolerate him in), but that was just bat-shit crazy. How you can make the leap of logic to "well, she may have done something to warrant getting hit" is right up there with "she was wearing a short skirt, so she deserved…

Do you think he's going to counseling to actually become a better human being, or because it looks better for his image?

I'm not condoning what the NFL did here, but........maybe we should look at what women did to the NFL first, maybe they're both the bad guys here.
