In a 1987 study (and yes, I realize that is old, but I would imagine that the answers would be similar now), Aida Torres and Jacqueline Darrouch Forrest for the Alan Guttmacher Institute collected questionnaires from 1,900 women in the United States who came to clinics to have abortions. Of the 1,900 questioned, 420…

does scorcese hate his mommy or something? there are never well-developed female characters in any of his films

Plus, he was monumentally stupid. He had to get to Switzerland in hurry and he totally ignores the goddamn helicopter sitting on the deck of his yacht.

I watched it with my older brother. As the lights were coming up afterward he asked me what I thought. I told him the movie was beautifully made and Jonah Hill was excellent, but the good guy, the protagonist, was a no good son of a bitch who ripped off a lot of people and Scorsese should not have made a movie that…

Or help her prevent pregnancy in the first place. It's almost like there's an *agenda*.

I don't know if it is worth noting. The issue isn't that a culturally appropriating bindi wearer might hurt someone's feeling, the issue is that it displays an colonialist attitude that native cultures exist to be used as fashion accessories, that native cultures can be exploited for monetary gain that never benefits…

I like how these conversations always produce the ultimate examples of empathy fails. Good job, internet. It's mind boggling how you can suggest that people think about the pros and cons of potentially disrespecting other people's culture and folks act like you've kicked their puppy.

Woah, where did my normal, intelligent Jezebel commenters go? For the 1,000 time:

Damn straight. Can you imagine if this same patronizing tag line was used for grown men in trailers, "What happens when a good boy..." ? All I would picture is a male toddler fidgeting in a high chair with his mamma near by. Yet, 'good girl' is apparently still appropriate for grown women. Ugh, and don't even get me…

You get a gold star for what is potentially the most useless comment.

Does anyone not think it's wrong to force a woman to carry and birth a baby against her will?

I don't. We don't measure life by heart beats, that's why we have the term "brain death." We don't consider removing life support from someone with no hope of regaining consciousness to be "wrong." Living wills exist so that people can say, "my heart may beat but my mind is gone, don't keep my body alive. I am…

No, since *single cardiac cells beat on their own*.

No, not when the beating heart in question belongs to a fetus that is inside of a woman. Her rights always trump the fetus's rights. There should be regulations that have nothing to do with religion and bullshit like that, but everything to do with actual science and safety. So, yes to late-term, medically…

8 people have been murdered, including 4 doctors. Since 1977 there have been 17 attempted murders, 383 death threats, 153 incidents of assault or battery, and 3 kidnappings. According to NAF, since 1977 in the United States and Canada, property crimes committed against abortion providers have included 41 bombings,…

One of my never ending musings: The state continues to restrict a woman's right to an abortion but will do nothing to ensure her success as a mother, i.e. social programs that benefit her and her child.

Ew, does anyone call a grown ass woman a "good girl"? I hope that outside of a consensually freaky sexual encounter that nobody every sincerely calls me a "good girl". I would vomit directly on their face.

Nice trailer. I don't even need TO SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE NOW.

Britta?!?!

I smiled at the great time they had on their one night stand. For all of the rest of it I kept repeating in my head, "Why didn't you go upstairs and ask him for help?" I just... understand none of this. But I would watch it for the great one night stand.
