Hahahaha No! 

I suffered two blighted ovums for which I took misoprostol in order to control the timing of the miscarriage. It was an awful experience both physically and emotionally. Despite having now successfully had a second child, it still pains me to think about those losses. I wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone.

I had an abortion at age 15 in a Catholic Hospital in Canada. I was lying on the stretcher in the hallway, waiting to be wheeled into the OR, when a physician (not sure if he was my surgeon, or the anesthesiologist) came over and gave me an “I never want to see you in here again for this” lecture. I remember being…

I’m a Christian Scientist pharmacist.  NO PILLS FOR ANYONE

Hippocratic Oaf.

Exactly. Doesn’t seem like he performed his duty to refer the prescription to someone else in a timely manner.

People who think their feelings are more important that providing healthcare to a person should not work in healthcare in any capacity.

The reasons for wanting a legally prescribed medication should not matter. Yes, this situation is particularly tragic because the woman wanted a child and the fetus died and she needed to abort. BUT....how about a situation involving a woman who doesn’t want to have a child and needs to abort a viable fetus? The…

Fuck that guy, fuck Walgreens, and fuck the law making it ok.

Yeah. I am a federal employee and in the extremely rare event we are allowed to have an in-person meeting for the multi-million dollar project I manage*, we are not allowed to have food or coffee provided at those meetings because it would be an improper use of gov’t funds. This shit makes me RAGE.

Remember that one time when Howard Dean enthusiastically yelled on stage?

“We should have a new force called the Space Force. It’s like the Army and the Navy, but for space, because we’re spending a lot of money on space.”

Have you met evangelical women? A lot of them really buy into that “obey thy husband” crap.

Evangelical Christians are so sold on the Republican Party I’m actually surprised it’s that low.

Support for Trump amongst white evangelical women has dropped 13 percent. 60 percent of them are still on board, however.

Mrs. WhatsIt does see Aunt Beast at one point but Meg’s entire metaphysical discussion with her is gone. I was sad.

I think my biggest problem with the adaptation was that it entirely removed L’Engle’s core anti-authoritarian message and essentially turned it into a very typical “just believe in yourself!” narrative for the movie. I think they didn’t trust their audience, like you’ve said. But I feel like now, more than ever, we…

I enjoyed it. I just wish that they had left out the subplot with the girl next door and showed a regular day of school for Meg. She was so very intelligent and challenged authority in the books (refusing to do her math homework the way her teachers wanted because she knew easier shortcuts) that you don’t really see…

I got to see it at a special O Magazine screening (YES, OPRAH WAS THERE) and I agree with the assessment that it was made for kids. Which kind of annoyed me, because Madeline L’Engle wrote stories for children but she didn’t pander or talk down to her audience, which I thought this movie did at times. This also…

I loved this movie so much. I enjoyed the book as a girl, and it worked for me on that level. More than anything, though, it felt like a love letter to my 13-year-old self: another biracial girl with a Black mom and an absent dad, who hated her hair and glasses and thought she would never be good enough. It was so, so…
