Also the teen boy in the story is wearing a suave button down shirt, a tie, slacks, and matching belt/shoes. I don't know many 30 somethings who dress that well.

That is some fancy high-schoolin'.

I feel inadequate.

Oh I stopped going to Catholic school after 2nd grade. The public high school pregnancies (that anyone knew about, anyway) were usually carried to term. It was a lower income area and it wasn't particularly stigmatized for teenagers to have babies. A girl in my sister's grade actually had a baby in 8th grade,…

This high school has a covered parking lot.

I think they just stuck that in at the end to see if we were reading the whole way through, or just skimming. Or it's like a Shamalayan ending! It was really about abortion all along! Or wait, wait: it's a sweet lady-surprise, like an engagement ring in a cupcake! Those scamps!

Why did this asshole cop agree to do this? That fucking nitwit should be busted down to traffic detail.

I had the same experience. Like, sure, the school was all anti-abortion and stuff. The complete lack of sex education left a shocking number of pregnancies, however, and none of them made it to term.

For a minute, I thought her sign said "can I queef on you at prom?". Ugh, no.

If these people were truly Christians and truly pro life then they should offer full financial and educational support for the unborn until said unborn is of adult age.

This makes me giggle, how very Jesuit of them. Seriously, growing up in Dallas and knowing kids from Jesuit and other religiously backed private schools... I remember reading pamphlets they brought home. This is exactly the way they think "hey, since we are talking about serious stuff — we have a bullet point we'd…

I was like where where is this prolife stuff, am I not looking hard enough? Why did they add that at the end, it's just so pointless.

Oh, so not my stories to tell, and that was so long ago, but I do feel comfortable relaying a widely known saying that the boys at Jesuit had for the two girls schools in Dallas: "Ursuline to bed, Hockaday to wed."

Why would this site, of all sites, give in to the term "pro life" to describe those people, in its headline?

But it doesn't matter if their opinions aren't driven by misogyny (the exception IMO), because they're trying to force others to live by their beliefs. I have no tolerance for those who ignore the 1st Amendment and my right to be left alone.

It is def more a control issue than a life one.

Dear Mr. Earsing,

I can finally use the term "Cognitive Dissonance" appropriately in a post.

Jesuit high school here and we had a little of that, but mainly from the try-hard religious teachers during mass and assemblies but never in class.

I think you mean "anti-choice" in the headline, not pro-life, right?

Ummm ... yes. Yes. I can.

Why are we still referring to these people as "pro-life," rather than "anti-choice," or, hell, just "anti-women"?
