My sympathies. My wife had to have the same procedure several years ago. It was very hard on her both physically and mentally. I wish you the best on your future pregnancy endeavors.

My mother had to abort what would have been my baby sister for similar reasons. She had severely deformed internal organs, and a large cyst that destroyed most of her brain. Carrying her to term would have been unspeakably cruel for everyone involved. My parents’ dream of adding a sweet little girl alongside their…

Having your record expunged at the state level is basically irrelevant for the purposes of a green card application, which is reviewed at the federal level. He would still have to claim in the application that he was arrested and convicted of a felony drug-related charge.

So much this! I majored in History, and shit doesn’t get real until you are taking a class focused on one specific subject, Napoleon for example. Then you have to write a lengthy paper for the class. Usually something like an in depth look into why he won a battle. So you have page after page about terrain, artillery,…

Rule of Thumb: when a man tells you he loves you while you are both naked, take it with a grain of salt.

I once had this happen to me with an internet troll. It caught me completely off guard that someone, a complete stranger in my case!, could make me feel this way. I came to realise that the arsehole had reactivated some old trauma from me being bullied in school. Thanks, bullies, it really is the gift that keeps on…

“Bad” is stealing something, or killing someone. You may or may not have made a mistake, but don’t be too hard on yourself. You’re allowed to feel ambivalent!

Thank you. I do need to shake up my diet, it’s not great. And you describe well how I feel. Since childhood I’ve had a hard time enjoying things without them making me feel sad somehow, though there are specific exceptions. Talking about it terrifies me so even this helps and I thank you again.

Let me alleviate your fears and say that no one their right mind goes through two trimesters of pregnancy and then is like “actually I don’t want a kid.” Every single abortion that happens in the third trimester is out of medical necessity. Every single one. And no state in the US allows for late term abortions if…

Disable all the comments. Problem solved.

Suddenly I wish that social media existed back in the 80s/90s for an outright Fergie/Di social media beef-fest. I mean the tabloids did their best, but could never hold a candle to Twitter.

I’m a nanny in Silverlake, a rich white hippie neighborhood of LA. Here is how little precious Eggs, Clover and Tomsawyer (these are all real names of kids) live: they don’t have to wear shoes because “Silverlake is clean” (that’s what one of the moms said to me after her child walked on the street for six blocks…

I live in Eastern NC—and this was big breaking news around here. The first night that boy was missing was extremely cold—down into the teens. That’s very unusual for this area. You may laugh at me, but I prayed for this child, as I’m sure many others who heard about his story on the news did. I wanted to believe that…

Cant wait for the Elvis, woody allen, paul walker, jerry lee lewis documentary.

While this is still a terrible thing, and I won’t even remotely pretend that Japan doesn’t have some pretty terrible laws regarding LGBTQ people, the law isn’t written exactly as “If you’re trans we’re going to sterilize you.” It is written as“for us to recognize you as a new gender you must be have undergone total…

Also, giving a baby up as a mother is not necessarily straightforward. Depending where you live, you may not be able to give up a baby for adoption without declaring yourself / your circumstances as unfit, in which case, the State is obliged to at least investigate the circumstances of your other three children, and…

Unpopular Opinion: Freddie Mercury is the role of a lifetime for Malek. I don’t blame him for taking it. I don’t blame anyone for wanting in on that film.

“The Democrats have their finger on the block button, vowing to block every single bit of legislation flowing through Congress that doesn’t ensure the re-opening of the government. Looks like Pelosi, Schumer, and co. are remaining firm with this one.”

Fdr set the rate even higher than what she wants to put it at so it’s hardly an impossible ask.

OK. lol
