Amen sista. I have thus far and plan to continue to parent my boy in the same way. I profess openly and proudly that I think the "boys will be boys" excuse is bullshit, that since the beginning of time boys and girls are held to completely different behavioral standards and that if boys were held to the same standards…

Your kids are damn lucky to have a mother like you.

Thanks for this. Sometimes people need to realize that not everyone spirals dramatically out of control before they realize they need help. You don't need people slobbering all over your story like a bad episode of Intervention to make it a legitimate problem. Good for you, these are two horrible things to deal with…

Ignoring that fact doesn't change it, but neither does reinforcing the idea. There should be more social safety nets in place to allow women to have children and a career, if they choose to. Our society is so broken that we just accept as fact that motherhood is and should be a career killer. That is something we need…

Ok, agree with your points about abortion being talked about as a "difficult yet pragmatic" decision and a "completely legitimate option" is definitely a great thing - open discussions on issues like this are signs of "social progress".

I can't even imagine the conversations between the couple or the NY Times staff that lead them to revealing this to the world but props to everyone for doing so. A terminated pregnancy does not have to spell the end for a relationship.

I'll be honest it still baffles me a little that people, who have no interest in ever having an aborti0n, can go so out of their way to simply stop you or anyone else from getting one.

I have nothing snarky to say about this. Seeing abortion discussed as if it's not the worst possible thing that can ever happen from which women will never recover is a wonderful, wonderful thing!

Wish it was dementia. But everything he spouts, I was taught in church when I was little. I was scared of the dark for far too long because all the adults around me legitimately believed demons roam the Earth. Everyone had stories about the time they fought off a demon by quoting scripture and invoking the name of…

If so, he's been demented for a long time. My mom would watch his show in the 80's — yeah, that long ago — and he was just as bad then.

I hope not. Pat Robertson deserves something a little more personally painful than dementia.

That's not the Promise Ring I keep hearing about, is it?

The gay community know no possible outcome could be worth touching homophobes.

Honestly, I feel like nothing Robertson says can ever be more insane, stupid, or bigoted than the time he said Haiti had an earthquake because they made a deal with Satan.

INHALING SOME DEMON SPIRITS I AM ACTUALLY CRYING WITH LAUGHTER.

This is great and everything, but I'm also pretty sure it's the dictionary definition of 'low hanging fruit'

When I was a teenager, I was super distraught occasionally.

When people ask me why should abortion be legal I remember my elderly history professor answering that question perfectly. He said he was tired of seeing desperate women go to back ally doctors and get hacked up like pieces of meat sometimes unable to have children ever again because they made a dumb mistake one…

I'm so excited, in 48 sweet hour all 4 of mine are back to school. Sweet, sweet, freedom. It's like summer break for moms. And the looks on their faces when I remind them of it is so delicious. It's a lot like that last kid at the end of the video.
