Done, via email.

I don’t care what you wear but people who need work clothes do not hate themselves. Women have enough shitty messages regarding fashion and appearance, why are you adding more? Crap like that is not useful or helpful to anyone.

DONE! My email:

“It will behove me to be rid of another incapable of thought, liberal.”

SK. A lot of the area was settled by French and Belgian Catholics, and the tradition holds. The Filipino influx due to the Bakken has breathed new life into the Catholic Church. On paper it’s all supervised by the health region, but I’ve heard similar miscarriage horror stories and only a few years back you would…

I take it you’re in a metropolitan area in Canada. Our hospital is Catholic. There is some legislation that limits their power, but not much. This, coupled with the fact that all our MDs are foreign born and usually ultra religious leads to quite quite a few similar situations .

I find this malpractice train of thought very intriguing. If regulation won't kill the alarming proliferation of Catholic hospitals, maybe crushing litigation might?

My insinuation is that no insurance company should cover any medical procedure that goes on in a religious institution. At the end of the day, when push comes to shove, that’s what Catholic hospitals are, as evidenced by these stories. If I ran an insurance company, I see no reason why this isn’t just common sense and…

I can’t be the only one who thought of Savita Halappanavar when I read this. I know her case was in Ireland, not the U.S., but it’s the sort of fercockta cruelty on the part of the Catholic Church that doesn’t care if a pregnancy isn’t viable or if a woman dies because of it.

Haven’t you heard? Suffering brings you closer to god. Mother Theresa was a big fan of it (and also a sadist).

WHY?

That’s true of ALL parents though. Fatal accidents, can, and do, happen all the time. Yet DCFS doesn’t watch every parent in the hospital room, and make a judgement to remove the child. Parents are generally considered fit unless proven otherwise (in the case of extreme addictions, for instance) but in this case, the…

Do you have kids? Because I have twins, and the first few days in the hospital, I was a mess. It took me like 5 minutes to change that first diaper, and I have an IQ north of 140. None of that matters when you are exhausted, pumped on hormones and have no idea what you are doing, and I had a team of people. This girl…

I also do not think having a child is a fundamental right. Not at all.

My brother and his wife, both ex-junkies on methodone at the time of their son’s birth, were assessed as unfit to care for their child. Instead of having him removed, the government (B.C. Health Dept.) sent child development workers to their apartment every day for three hours for the first six months of his life.…

Yeah, I’ve had “well-meaning” CPS agents remove a newborn from its parents because the nursing staff saw that they both used white canes (and were visually impaired). I’m all for good intention, I’m not all for making assumptions about someone’s ability to be a parent based on a disability.

Growing up, we had a neighbor couple who had their three children removed from their home for the same reason. CPS and teachers grew “concerned” when the kids weren’t doing their homework because the parents were unable to help the older two due to intellectual disabilities. Even though these two people had…

Sigh. I have a learning-disabled parent with a below-average IQ. Not 70, but not great. I have a lot of feelings about this article but I’ll sum it up with, “I think intellectually disabled people can be great parents, but they are also not always ideal parents and their children will face many, many hurdles that go…

Yes! Women have manage to have children forever without endless studies, women in slums in India living in shacks...they are not consulting the Internet to see what they are and are not allowed to eat. Yes, there are risks associated with pregnancy but endlessly telling women what they can’t do or eat is crazy. It’s…

Oh just wait, once the kid is here, then you’ll only be able to find articles that tell you that every parenting decision you’ve ever made is wrong too. It’s truly one of the worst eras to be a new mom. Hang in there girl, just trust yourself! At least that’s what I keep telling myself :)
