I’m so sorry you have to deal with this bullshit. I’m Canadian and we tried for years before doing several rounds of IVF. One round covered by the government after being put on a waiting list for it; the rest by us.

I think it will take a long time because when Roe v. Wade was passed more white women were having abortions. The people who will be most affected by this ruling are not people the courts care about. Yes, states will feel the ripple effects (e.g. stress on the foster care system), but Republican voters don’t seem to…

Also, the right doesn’t have a strong shared sense of identity (ask my wealthy, northern, city-dwelling, educated Republican in-laws how much they have in common with, say, anyone protesting the results of the 2020 election), they just vote according to whatever their main issues are (in their case, small government…

If you miscarried or failed to implant, it would likely be treated like any other miscarriage in this post-Roe world (potentially suspicious).

That’s what I’m wondering, though: what happens when the leopards come to eat their faces?

IVF isn’t compatible with Catholicism but theologically (if not culturally, obviously) it isn’t necessarily incompatible with Christianity.

I hear you. I’m just sensitive because there is a theory (as yet unproven, AFAIK) that taking melatonin decreases the body’s ability to produce it. The people who tell me this tidbit usually “heard it on a podcast,” so I’m wondering if this is a thing among the so-called “wellness” community. 

Waiting for the influx of “they just should just adopt!” or “this only affects rich white women!” comments.

Not the point of your post AT ALL I realize, but my doctor doesn’t really have an issue with my using melatonin for as long as I want, as long as I don’t exceed 5mg (3 mg when I was pregnant). I believe birth control should be OTC (like it is in so many places without issues), but the comparison to melatonin isn’t…

By this logic, there are no misogynists in Saudi Arabia because all the men banning women from driving have wives. 

Ezra Miller is all kinds of awful, but this dad isn’t really passing the smell test either. Those poor kids. 

Me too. I think more people would know about it 20 years later had it not had it not been released four days before 9/11.

I mean, I wear a good sunscreen daily too. I guess I’m just surprised he hasn’t embraced his paleness.

Burying the lede. Dick Van Dyke uses self-tanner? 

Yeah, I’m not feeling it, and I usually like her stuff. 

Lemonade and the self-titled album were both pretty great, IMHO.

Robin S’s “Show Me Love.” That’s the song being referenced/sampled. Not to be confused with Swedish Robyn’s “Show Me Love.”

I mean, weren’t “moron” and “idiot” words used to refer to mentally challenged people in the past? So if you wouldn’t say “retard,” it follows . . .

Wow, is she ever looking like Tina in that disco ball photo.
