As someone who works in abortion providing clinics, I read that as Lindy clunkily admitting that her white privilege carried a lot of water in her interaction over the phone. People who cannot pay for their abortions are obviously super low income; in many places those folks are people of color. People of color…

With six half hour episodes, sign up for the free trial week, binge watch them in one sitting, then cancel. I did! <3 :)

Considering many states now appoint attorneys for the fetus of a minor seeking an abortion and a judicial bypass to not have to get parental consent...I have no idea how we don’t have advocates for born and suffering children whose parents are putting them at extreme health risk.

Re: Philanthropy. A frat near where I work did a fundraiser called “Flippy Cup for Suicide Prevention.” They had a flippy cup tournament with an entry fee and the funds went to a suicide prevention charity, AND they advertised it on facebook and the campus email list! They did not understand why people were upset they…

This is atrocious. And also really fucked up that so many of those arrested are on the high-end of college age (23 year olds), and 2 aren’t enrolled there, leading one to believe these are alumni showing up and making what is probably already horrible hazing that much fucking worse. I’m so sad this happened to the…

You laid the foundation for future women’s sexual pleasure and they all appreciate you for the thankless work!

OMG having to poop with a stranger (romantic or otherwise) present is the worst! I commend you on this feat of confidence and perseverance!

HAHAH! My first sexual encounter with a guy that I (ill-fatedly) ended up dating for over 2 years...he was a terrible kisser and kept trying to dirty talk about how good he was at going down and then finally got down there and released a huge, wet, goobery sneeze onto my splayed vulva. I was young and naive and so…

A male condom and female condom should never be worn by their respective partners at the same time. The friction will cause them to tear and render them useless.

12 years ago I was 1 year out of college and going to a friend from college’s wedding. We were in a sorority together and she was marrying a guy from a fraternity. The reception was full of 21-27 year old current and former sorority and fraternity gals and guys, a Franzia fountain, and several kegs. Decor was folding…

Yes, exactly. My story was that we see that kind of thing all the time at the clinic. And if someone thinks a woman shouldn’t be able to access an abortion because public education and her body failed her, that’s fucked up.

A note on language from the Later Abortion Initiative:

I said “thanks” in another post for you training to be an abortion provider. Very important work!

But, a few of your other replies seem to be not fully informed, and actually reflecting some misinformation or even potential anti-choice talking points.

Since you’re a medical student, these would be great resources to…

DING DING DING! All of these “what ifs” are just folks saying they don’t trust adult women to make decisions about their own health and bodies. Yet they would want those same untrustworthy women giving birth and raising a kid? Which is it? Are they trustworthy or not?

And, just to give an example of a what-if...I’ve…

Been working in abortion providing clinics for 15 years. Thank you for training to do this work, we are excited to have you. Hopefully you’ve heard about the Ryan Residency program and live near an independent abortion provider. We need more folks like you!

They said “two counts of first degree murder” in the first paragraph. So sadly I think that means the fetus died too.

The article over on the Root has additional info with hate mail he received threatening his death. That these dudes would have ski masks, bleach, and a rope on hand near a random sub shop on a cold-as-fuck Monday night shows this was pre-meditated and they were waiting for him.

That’s what my husband uses!!

I feel like they did but I’m not remembering all of the details. Wasn’t it because that University land and buildings were already there but had gone out of business, so they could buy a whole already-made university and move in at a low cost?

Touring their campus was extremely interesting from a faculty members’ perspective as well as someone who used to live in Iowa (and heard tales of the Maharishi, but had never been). When our student tour guide took us to the dining hall for lunch, everyone was eating and having conversations. Not one. single. phone.…
