I know I’m not supposed to judge based on looks, but she is Alicia Keys girl on fire-hot in that lead photo. That look on her face says she knows it, too, and STILL gives no fucks what you think about it. 

The example he gives (birth at 8 months “on the way to get an abortion” has only one scenario, and that is that the fetus has died in utero or has deformities that will not allow it to live more than a short time and then usually in pain. By 8 months, a woman is excitedly planning for the birth and is devastated to…

“This woman was just SECONDS from giving birth, when suddenly vicious, malicious doctors forced her to PUSH the baby through her birth canal, aborting the pregnancy and leaving nothing but a bloody, screaming baby in its wake!”

Mike Johnson do you know the difference between a birth and an abortion? 

Acceptance of abortion has remained relatively constant since Roe v Wade - 30% want to ban it entirely, another 40% want it to be completely legal at any time, and the other 30% wants it to be either slightly more permissive or slightly less permissive than we currently have, or just don’t know.

I see the headline and get excited. I read the pull quote and I just ...

You could take position that those things don’t really matter, no like [insert your pet issue here], but that’s just moving the goalposts. Bottom line: saying Joe Bide has done “nothing” he said he would is inaccurate on its face; it is a lie.

This age group overwhelmingly wanted Bernie Sanders’ much more ambitious, much more radical platform

Is it possible his approval rating is tanking because people don’t understand how our government works so they buy into promises a Presidential candidate makes but actually has no power to deliver on because the role of the president is to appoint a cabinet and sign laws passed by congress?

Because if they did, they would see the correlation between poverty and forced birth, and realize that it is far more likely the real reason when crime goes up.  

Being a politician (and maybe especially a right-wing politician) means never having to justify your claims.

An important layer to highlight here are the ethics around side effects. A friend of mine has been on male birth control research teams for the past 7 years, and while he enjoys the work, he’s pretty certain it will never be embraced by the FDA or pharmaceuticals for the above reason.

I was looking at getting a vasectomy. Since I live in the US, it would cost $1000 out of pocket. If my insurance covers it (doubtful) it would probably cost less, but still more than I can pay. So that’s out for me.

its not all from men. How many dating sites have you seen where the female poster is like “if youre under 6 feet, dont apply.”

If a woman criticized another woman’s hairstyle on Jezebel, would you call her out on it?

People could also be weird about it because (if that photo is of them) she is quite pretty and he looks like an absolute doofus with a terrible haircut and ugly denim button down shirts. I can only infer from this photo that he also wears ill-fitting khaki pants a la 17 year olds from the early aughts working at Geek…

Oh bollocks, went to all that trouble to keep them straight in the first comment and couldn’t in the second. I have to say the quality of my pronoun editing tends to vary based on how much I suspect the person’s identity is a function of social currency.

Might want to edit the pronouns. Author is on Twitter throwing a tantrum about these comments, and being “misgendered” may be their only valid complaint.

I could imagine that openly admitting that you were the relatively more shitty partner in your divorce in a personal essay that’s also marketing for your book is not something many people would do.

Let me just clarify what we all know has happened. This liberal white woman in a hetero relationship, while immersing herself in the lives of these mostly queer, mostly BIPOC former athletes...completely lost her sense of identity within them. She started referring to them as “elders” and modeling her life in ways she…
