Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.

To my knowledge no, and I was able to provide a full name, contact information, and pick my assailant’s image out of a lineup. I have not recently checked with the PD but I don’t know if my rape kit has even been processed. My assault occurred October 2014.

*hugs* I’m sorry you had to go through your own account as well. No one should ever have to!

Made me count my lucky stars that I am not a single parent, on top of all that, and that I make more than minimum wage. How any single mother making minimum wage would be expected to fiscally survive all of this is IMPOSSIBLE.

Dear God.

To think that these “compassionate Conservatives” are trying to defund Planned Parenthood so that women like you, in situations like you, can add insult to injury by going in to significant debt after an assault makes me see fucking red. Absolutely disgusting.

Thank you, but no worries! You know what’s interesting about the whole situation? It was one of the most clear and calm series of days in my life. I was in Texas for a business conference the night the assault happened, and I had to leave on a plane for home the next morning. I did all of the bureaucracy in less than…

I had my abortion at a Planned Parenthood in Ohio and both days I went there weren’t any protesters. I’m sorry you and all the other women visiting that clinic for non-abortion services had to deal with them, but I kind of like the idea that the protesters are too stupid to figure out where they “should” be protesting.

Worst of all? This was the text:

Text message: the new Post-It?

This made me tear up. I’m really, really sorry you had to go through ALL of that—the initial violation and trauma then doubled by the bureaucratic fuckery all because you’re a woman.

Our country is really sick. So sorry this happened to you.

I was sexually assaulted in another state (Texas), then returned home to Ohio with a long list of follow-up medical instructions given to me by the out-of-state PD/forensic nurse, many of which included follow-up STI testing. The medical bills incurred (I am insured) for the out-of-state ER visit, exams, drugs, etc.…

Thank you for sharing your story.

Stories like this make me glad to live in a similarly developed country compared to the US, but one that does not fuck over its citizens in need on every turn, particularl the female half of the citizenry.

I’m really glad you were able to get the help you needed and not be stuck with a ridiculous bill. Planned Parenthood is great. I just want to know what these idiots picture happening in there, though. Don’t remember anyone ever trying to upsell me on an abortion when I’m just there for an annual.

This isn’t like your story. But I have a medical condition that makes my periods all sorts of a mess. I take birth control to have a normal life, basically. Every single time someone bitches about how they feel insurance shouldn’t cover the pill I literally wish I had a bloody tampon to throw at their heads. Why women…

Planned Parenthood is a phenomenal organization that has helped hundreds of thousands of women, which is precisely why the GOP hates them so much. I wish you would have spit in their faces.

I can’t handle the number of people who fervently believe those videos are real, even after it’s been proven over and over again that they are not. “I don’t care about facts! I believe that they’re real!”
