I don’t understand. They’re pro life... surely they’d... they’d never...

My thoughts exactly. At first I was worried about his being sued--read the article and now I’m worried for his life. A true stand up hero.

Yep—this is evidence of decency at play. Also it’s significant that this is a doctor who remembers the time before legal abortion. He’s seen the consequences.

I think that’s kind of the point. I’ve been wondering how well doctors could adhere to the 6 week timeline; when let’s face it, unless you’re doing IVF, your OB is mostly depending on your data to estimate time of conception. And since he’s publicly daring someone to sue him, might as well put the full burden of proof…

Legitimately a hero

The gauntlet has been thrown down. I predict this will go all the way to the Supreme Court, where the spineless conservative justices will have to actually rule on it instead of handwaving away that it’s too novel an approach. This law is bad in so many ways, and I am glad he is taking a stand. Also that at least one…

On a related note, it’s worth remembering that covid infections in pregnant women increase maternal mortality, miscarriage, and sundry other complications for mother and child.

Yet I suspect that many of the so called “pro-life” advocates championing the Texas law are among the ranks of the unvaccinated and oppose…

A real act of bravery to do this in a place like Texasistan. 

Funny how the holier-than-thou white men of the av club seem totally clueless about the numerous and well documented instances of McDonald being a misogynistic, homophobic piece of shit. For years! Although this place certainly has a history of ignoring women and minority voices when it has a hard on for a mediorce,…

My daughter said to me, in reference to her father, “Don’t worry mom, I won’t marry a man who is useless.”

But since I have the floor and I can’t ungrey anyone, I think it’s hilarious that whenever a thread about women’s unseen and unappreciated labor goes up, some chode will inevitably whine about women having a preferred height. OR you can see for yourself how many men will self-profess to being the cooker/cleaner/home…

Someone on here talked about when she was married, her husband bitched about how things weren’t done and why couldn’t she be a better wife and mom? So she divorced him. He ended up being late to most events and lived in squalor (worse than when they were married), but then she said, at least I didn’t have to put up…

THANK YOU for saying this. I also came from a family where not only my mother got fucked over, but almost every single one of my aunts got fucked over. And some of those women are still in their marriages and tell me they’re happy. But, they sure as fuck don’t look happy.

I’m sure it’s because I’m a barren millennial spinster with no prospects but I’m also sure it’s because I watched my mother and aunts struggle in their relationships with men that I am convinced that marriages with men are a true dice roll in life.

Quarantine, and my wife’s attempts to homeschool, actually got her motivated to stop being a stay at home mom and focus on starting a career. Both of us spending a year in individual therapy, followed by six months of couples therapy, also helped. And, yes, we almost got divorced at one point. 

Sinema should be primaried. Unfortunately, there’s no real option for pressuring Manchin (the only real thing beyond outright bribing him with pork for WV is maybe going after his daughter w/ investigations into her employer and that has a huge downside risk).

Is anybody really buying these books, though? 

You can think this dude is funny, talented and trying his best. But he is also a douche bag. This dude is pulling a “Phoenix rising from the ashes” story line after dumping his wife and immediately knocking up the next thing that blinked at him. The same ex wife he praised for supporting him through his prior issues…
