I can kinda see the link. After you have a daughter I can see how a parent could jump to "Sex? Abortion? Marijuana? NOT MY KID!" Not saying it's a rational way of thinking, but there's some overprotective patriarchy at work here.

I see your point, but look at all the effort it took to get JUST THE ACA. Really think anything more substantial would've made it? The Republicans shut down the government just over the ACA.

Sounds like a better case for comprehensive sex education so that people aren't "too stupid to use condoms" rather than a case to stop abortion. If they banned abortion she'd just have no condoms and... more babies? Doesn't really sound like a win, either.

My brother had the fang looking incisors. It was why he told my parents he wanted braces. He never asks for much of anything so they must have REALLY bugged him!

Interesting, just because I always liked my teeth and honestly like them less since I've had braces. My brother was the one who asked my parents for braces because he didn't like his teeth. Anomaly!

Isn't it kind of pointless to put them on when you still have your baby teeth.... ? I know at least one girl who had braces when she was 5 and then had to get them again in middle school cause HELLO, her straightened baby teeth all fell out.

3,000 students is smaller than the number of students at my high school when I was there. I don't really see this as a good sample size.

You're right. If someone's mom is a cashier, it's because they don't love their kids enough and are just being "unreasonable" and don't care about supporting them. Clearly, they should just go to magical job land and pick out a better job that pays more instead of their Wal-Mart job, which they have clearly because…

Exactly! Especially with the inflection people usually use when they make the remark to me... I don't know if I should say "thanks" or not, since it never seems to be meant as a compliment so much as a loud observation/borderline insult.

I'm a girl but I have the same problem. I know with guys it's more of an insult to be skinny, but it still offends me when someone tells me. A)Yeah, I know. B) Who taught you your manners?! So inappropriate and it makes me so uncomfortable! It just makes me painfully aware that someone is looking at me.

100 pound 20 y/o woman. People point out how thin I am ALL THE TIME. It's frustrating because no one ever sees it as a problem- most of my friends say things like "oh, your life is hard. Just take it as a compliment." It's never a compliment, no one ever says it with a nice tone of voice, they always say it so…

I am so sick of people acting on perceived threat vs. real threat. Just because your pea brain thinks someone is a threat doesn't mean you shot them in "self defense."

Did they control for socioeconomic factors? Because economically poorer people are disproportionately non-white (in the US), and that leads to a bunch of things, like being less healthy and perhaps not being able to afford the best IVF clinic, all of which would impact the success of IVF.

13 years old? Yup, totally asking for it. Barely pubescent, DEFINITELY asking for it. ...IS THIS A JOKE?!

But I'm pretty sure there's a reasonable expectation of privacy for everything under my clothes.

Her costume is terrible. But you can't fight terrible with more terrible. She's an idiot but I don't think she deserves DEATH THREATS.

Just even if it was true that you didn't need food to live.... food is delicious and being hungry is painful, how could you just stop eating?!

This is the book my mom used for me!

Pink used to be a "boy" color and blue used to be a "girl" color, just saying. In case you needed any more information showing how arbitrary this is.

Honestly my first reaction was "Awesome! My body is so much better than my face!"
