I think it is one of, if not the, major reason that Roe v. Wade galvanized the "pro-life" movement. They were more or less fine when getting an abortion was only relatively safe and available for people who could afford to go out of state, pay a trusted family doctor under the table, or go to Mexico or Canada and keep…

Now, I realize my inferior brain and temperament might be confusing me, but why is it that yet again the self-appointed champions of the "master race" have to turn to music associated with and developed by people they are suppose to be superior to? I mean, I would expect that these fine specimen of the greatest group…

I don't think logic works well with these people, not to mention there is something inherently white supremacist in completely appropriating bits of culture from people you see as inferior and using it for their own means. Kinda like how white supremacists in Britain and the U.S. bought-into an aesthetic and music…

I think this gets into the problem of government dictating what a person's religious beliefs are. There are so many differing beliefs within religions and I do not feel it is government's role to dictate which are and aren't legitimate. It would come down to the government deciding which interpretation is correct and…

"So you are saying that a person cannot do good if they disagree with you? Or that they cannot do good if EVERYTHING they do is not good?"

I submit "I write names not sniff fingers" (or something to that effect) as the greatest line in episodic dramatic history.

Thanks. Oddly, a layer acquaintance was explaining that not even a month ago and I totally forgot about it. One example they used was of someone who knocked someone over and caused them to crack their skull and die in the process of robbing or carjacking them.

I thought Miss Claudette may have gotten away with the murder (or got a reduced charge if the circumstances were explained) but was in jail for the trafficking because her case is reviewed for early release under changes to immigration laws (which makes me think she got a charge less than what I would associate with…

I saw an idea I thought was pretty cool on some makeover show (the one where they give new wardrobes). Basically, it was a natural hair color in a basic bob, but the under portion of part of her hair was dyed blue so that if she wanted she could flip it back and have blue hair showing. But without flipping it back it…

It is possible to despise a character and recognize that they are a good character in terms of writing and storyline. Expertly conveying just how self-absorbed she can be means that a great deal of the fanbase will hate on her but still appreciate the role she plays. For goodness sake some of us celebrated the return…

That threw me too. My means of reconciling the two is to pretent that the older Rosa's accent is the actress trying to sound like her breathing and talking were labored and her voice was husky. Still seems like a complete switcheroo though.

These people do know that there are studies which show that comprehensive sex education may delay the age of sexual activity and that when people with sex education do later have sex they are more likely to use contraception and protection right? Right? Because maybe, just maybe, being shown photos of STIs and having…

I never thought about it before, but maybe he's comparing them to models? At one point I think he references magazines or women in magazines. So maybe, he's saying that a 5'10" woman with those measurements would be unlikely to have the amount of curve proportion for his tastes? And that is the most thought I ever…

Despite being dogged tired I stayed up til midnight!!!! But then went to the site to be greeted by a countdown that informed me it would be another 3 hours because silly me I forgot about the whole little timezone issue. I'm going to bed where I will no doubt dream of Poussey speaking German while talking to Tastyee…

People tend to bring up literary fiction in contrast to YA but that dichotomy doesn't seem to hold up to reality. I read quite a bit and can not say that I find the books that are actually popular for adults to be any more complex in story or writing than those targeted towards young adults. Just because an adult…

I have noticed that books with heavier subjects and more creative story-telling tend to do better in the YA category than adult books. I can not imagine books that are told entirely in free-verse poetry and focus on sexual and physical assault and/or drug use going up the best-seller list on adult book lists along…

Gee whiz. For a group that rails against so-called late-term abortions, social conservatives sure do a lot to make it harder to get first term abortions. It is almost like it has nothing to do with safety.

I think that the measures taken to prevent supposed race- and sex- biased abortions are part of an effort to make it near impossible to get legal abortions. Especially when combined with waiting periods, extra exams, and limited windows when one is allowed to have an abortion. Let's say someone is not one of those…

I think the point is that these things should not be treated as cute accessories. They are weapons, weapons that a lot of women feel compelled to carry because of the culture we live in. Companies are trying to make weapons cute and I can see how it can be a bit undermining of the reality that a lot of women feel…

The point of the articles doesn't seem to be that self-defense weapons are bad, but the extent that companies go to in order to cutify them for women is ridiculous and can even take-away from how terrible the need for such things is by turning them into nothing more than perfectly adorable accessories as oppose to the…
