I’m a woman who doesn’t want kids and I’ve definitely heard “you just haven’t found the right man yet” a couple times. I always say, “The right man for me would have a vasectomy!

Lots of times insurance companies require you to sue the other person before they’ll pay out, in an effort to minimize their costs.

I like to tell them, “the same people that will take care of you - paid nursing home staff.” Do people really expect their kids to quit their jobs and look after them full time? Are they doing that for their parents? Probably not.

One of my best friends doesn’t kids - I’ve known her since we were teens and she’s never wavered on that point. Started trying to get her tubes tied in her early 20s but couldn’t find anyone to do it. People were always saying to her, “What if you meet a man who wants kids, what will you do?” and she’d be like “ ...…

Child free married lady here so I feel ya. People like to say “but who will take care of you when you are old?” (What a bad reason to have kids!!) I tell them all the money I didn’t spend on raising a child will take care of me, well invested :)

My favorite is “You don’t have kids? Who’s going to take care of you when you get old?” ME, MOFOS!! ME!

I’m in my early 30s and have never wanted kids (it was a factor in a long term relationship breaking up, etc). We were talking about people’s babies at work one day (most of my co workers are older enough than me to have daughters who are having lots of babies) and someone asked me if I want kids. I said no, I never…

This is what I came here to say. I’m not trying to be brave, I’m just trying to live my life.

Not sure about terrorism, but kind of an amazing coincidence that Hope Ministries buys the building the clinic is in, then a month later their employee’s son does a massive amount of vandalism to the tenant they bought the building to oust. Organized crime does that. I guess Christian thugs do it now, too.

It’s like once a woman gets a certain age, or is living her life freely ppl start they bullshit. “You know what happens after 30, better hurry up & find a man”. Family members do this to my Aunt. Not every woman wants kids or want to be married. Society has placed this thought that if a woman doesn’t have those things…

It’s like you can actually see the interest drain from their faces when you tell them no, you don’t have any. I once met with an editor and literally the first thing she asked was, “Do you have kidlets?” I said, “Um, no, I have dogs though?” She seemed at somewhat of a loss for small talk after that.

Yeah, I’ve kind of gotten used to the fact that whenever a friend has kids that I’ll see less of her. Not because she doesn’t socialize anymore, but because she will mostly socialize with other people who have kids. I mean, I understand the reasons why, but it still makes me kind of sad.

The good news for childless women: people mostly lay off when you hit 40 (if you’re single, at least). I think they’re afraid I’ll blow my brains out if reminded I’m a childless spinster. So I feel no pressure AND I (mostly) get to do whatever the fuck I want, whenever I want. (I still have to go to work and shit.)

I’m no insurance expert, but it’s possible that her insurance won’t pay out much since she did sue the perp in civil court. Insurance companies will bend over backwards six ways to sunday to avoid paying a claim if someone else is deemed responsible. Since she got this “restitution” granted by the court, insurance…

The mother should be held responsible in some capacity, because she either sent her son to destroy the clinic for Jesus, or she sent him as an “addict” to “steal medicine”, which really isn’t any better of a cover story;

So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

Also she should have had better security so the police would have arrived sooner and she should have stood in the doorway and physically prevented him from entering the clinic and also none of this would have happened if she’d had a gun. #logic

Wright wrote that Klundt had proposed to pay six months of Cahill’s salary “to cover the period during which she decided what to do with her business and, if necessary, looked for alternative employment.”

You should give the mother a “Sophie’s Choice” scenario: pay full restitution and remodel the clinic and your son gets time served or, he can cool his vandalous heels for the full-20 in prison.
