I want to first say something: THE GOVERNMENT DICTATING WHAT MEDICAL CONVERSATIONS TAKE PLACE CAN GO TO HELL. (ex: Fuck you, Florida, I’ll talk about gun safety as much as I damn well please) My only hope here, putting on my rose-colored glasses, is that this will ensure that hospitals provide this service to women…

I’d like to see this kind of service for ANYONE who has a baby with this kind of issue, whether or not they abort. If my baby had this kind of problem I’d have aborted in a heartbeat, but the handholding and counseling would have been nice.

the idea that you would even suggest to a mother carrying a terminal baby that she should carry it to term, deliver, and take lessons on drugging it up until it finally dies is just...i’m speechless.

I am still scarred from the years of verbal abuse suffered while I was a house soccer league ref back in high school. I remember being told by an 8 year old girl’s grandma that I f***ing sucked in life (I was 16 years old), while that same little girl couldn’t have cared less about the game.

One of the best arguments I’ve heard against restricting abortion is basically the organ donor comparison: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/8/1…

If legislators care SO DAMN MUCH about black and brown babies, they could, you know, address the poverty, lack of educational opportunity, lack of parental leave and affordable childcare options, shitty sex ed and access to contraception and reproductive care, and myriad other factors that actually influence into…

I bet. I don’t think Lisa is any happier going by her post on fb, but I guess she couldn’t throw her husband under the bus outright.

This comment is just ... ugh. It’s like there is a vacuum of self-awareness around Bernie and many of his supporters. And every time I hear someone say that women are only voting for Hillary because she’s a woman it makes me crazy. I am supporting Hillary Clinton because of her demonstrated leadership on women’s…

Cool thing of note. Paul Song’s wife is Lisa Ling. Lisa Ling’s sister was once kidnapped by North Korea. And you know who traveled to NK to secure her release? Bill fucking Clinton. Yep, the husband of the woman he just called a whore.

This isn’t nothing and it’s frustrating to have such a dismissive response about it from a blog that’s ostensibly feminist.

I feel like if you chose Taylor as your maid of honor, you’re looking to reap the secondhand benefits of fame for your wedding day. You want your small town relatives to be all abuzz at your celebrity bestie and you definitely want your wedding described in Vogue friggin’ magazine.

Yeah 8 year olds often have “favorite States”. That one will surely endear you to the people, Ted.

This is why you teach your kids about consent as soon as you can. Always reinforce that “No” needs to be respected.

One Superdelegate had his personal cell phone number published. Akilah Ross Ensley was called, cursed at, and called names (which is harrassment, plain and simple). Thayer’s response?

This is the Bernie Bro phenomenon in a nutshell: a good-enough idea (pointing out the superdelegate system is fundamentally undemocratic) runs into an obnoxious social media tactic, helmed by someone who seems like a bit of a dick.

I think the best way to completely ruin Superdelegates is to have Zack Snyder direct their movie.

Sam Bee is a national goddamned treasure.

“A feminist,” Carly intones, in a snippet from an old speech, “is a woman who lives the live she chooses.”

Revision: that actress should be in way, way more things that I want to watch.

Not lying, I yelled at my TV after what happened on the Americans. It probably needed to happen for the plot, there was no way to extricate her from the situation she was in, but god damn if they didn’t make that as heartbreaking as possible. That actress should be in way, way more things.
