Oh no, by all means, throw your temper tantrum and stay home during election day, what’s the worst that could happen?

I wish I wasn’t so cynical, so that I could believe that. If we lose SCOTUS, we can say goodbye to Roe — it used to be that politicians only brought up abortion and anti-choice shit to pander, and never really did anything substantive once elected — but now the people who genuinely believe it all are the ones holding…
Do I really have to explain to you that all of these issues will be decided by the supreme court? Who do you think appoints supreme court justices? And who do you think confirms supreme court justices? And for that matter, who do you think appoints federal appellate justices and confirms them?
I connected with your comment because abortion services were available to me in the 80's (fairly easily); got very CAREFUL in the 90's and used birth control very conscientiously because if I wanted to have sex I acted like a grown-ass responsible 30-something and took control (of myself and the situation). OK, that’s…
Just to point out that this bill being brought forth now is directly linked to the empty seat on the Supreme Court. They are hoping the lower courts affirm it to be constitutional and when it makes it to the top there’s a tie. That will let the law stand and become precedence in that district.
That’s exactly what I thought, too. When it was happening I was like yeah that’s great, but what about the draconian laws most women face? We’re not considered full citizens because of this. And I’ve already turned down tech jobs because they were in states that had laws like this.
Right?! Why the fuck aren’t musicians and big businesses protesting these crazy-regressive anti-abortion laws that directly affect (supposedly) half of the people they’re trying to sell things to? Like, I’m super glad that they’re taking up the anti-LGBTQ discrimination cause, but what the fuck about women?!?!?!?!
I was saying this to my husband last week. With all these terrible anti choice laws wouldn’t it be amazing if corporations and artists stood up for us but they won't.
I hope every musician and enterprise would boycott Oklahoma over this just like they are doing in North Carolina.
Oh, yeah, it will get overturned by any constitution-following court. However, that will take time. And in those months fighting it, the number of women hurt will be numerous.
HEY. Why you gotta insult jackalopes like that? They’re innocent mythical creatures who don’t care about limiting women’s rights!
I think it has more to do with reactionary laws. This country has history of this. Pass some laws that help blacks, certain states pass laws to disadvantage blacks. Pass a law that helps women certain states pass laws that disadvantage women. Progressive laws after WW2 until 70's reactionary conservatism 80's until…
The bill, which contains no exceptions for rape or incest, would allow the legislature to revoke the license of any doctor who performs an abortion, effectively rendering the procedure illegal.
Race and gender are both social constructs so transracial and transgender are equally valid.
I remember all the shit Rachel Dolezal got. Is being trans generally the same, but more acceptable?
This is a really weak and disappointing article, especially in comparison to how gawker and jez covered the ‘cpt’ joke.
Trying to act like Song wasn’t intimating that Clinton was the whore of which he was speaking becomes kinda hard when his full quote is taken into context.
I am very sorry for using the term “whore” to refer to some in congress who are beholden to corporations and not us. It was insensitive.
What is this nonsense article about someone referring to a specific female political candidate (I don't care if he denied it, he was referring to her) as a whore in front of thousands of people? You can do better than this, Jezebel. Come on.
You're a fucking idiot if you think he wasn't talking about Hillary Clinton. Don't be a fucking idiot.
