I got to see it about a month ago. Alan Cumming is incredible and a goddamn treasure. Also, his ass won't quit.

Is this assault? Sure. Not domestic violence, though. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors used to hold and maintain power and control over an intimate partner—something I would argue he did far more of with his cheating and lying than she did in this isolated incident of violence. Domestic violence is not…

I do not have the emotional fortitude to stay with a serial philanderer, but I like to think if I did, I'd handle it Anjelica style.

I've always known I liked her. Now I have reasons.

I mean just a couple points:

Who cares what a bunch of bishops have to say about vaccinations? They aren't doctors.

Who is more likely to attempt to control the reproductive choices of women - the World Health Organization, or the Catholic fucking church? This is the same Catholic church that has been preaching to…

I wouldn't trust the RCC to tell me the time of day.

Thanks for the info, didn't know that. The point remains that the documentary is powerful - they don't provide these procedures for any reason.

I long for the day when science allows us to implant unwanted fetuses into Republican men.

Yeah, exactly. No remorse, no parole, especially given that he admitted guilt.

There are some 81 year olds perfectly capable of firing a gun. 25 years doesn't give me too much comfort. Also at 25 years he has hope of leaving prison and having some life left. Dr Tiller will remain dead and his family/friends/patients mourning.

There are only 4 doctors that publicly acknowledge performing these procedures. There are more, I've worked with one, but for obvious reasons they prefer to keep a very, very low profile.

He is exactly the type of person who needs to be locked away from society. I feel that is a short list (astronomically shorter than the number that are currently locked away), but he is certainly on that list.

Related - I highly recommend the PBS POV documentary on late-term abortion providers called "After Tiller". Only four doctors in the country perform these procedures, and it's a job they don't take lightly.

Just a reminder.

"he killed Tiller, 67, to stop abortions..."

As a transgender guy, I wonder if she was actually masquerading, of trans with no outlet at all. Not excusing murder, just wondering because old stories like this always make me wonder. The trans community has a hard time with historical continuity.

Ah! I always thought he was a creep, and I hated that garbage show even as a kid—I think I just sensed that it was awful religious propaganda.

What kind of world do we live in when even fictional religious figures can't be trusted?

For the past several years, I have made a hat to wear to a Kentucky Derby watching party every May. My best one so far was inspired by the one Audrey/ Eliza wears in My Fair Lady. But of course it was nowhere close to the amazingness that was the original.
