No....just no. We are not that great. But we are better than this.

That is nothing. In Florida, I expect it. I saw one in San Francisco.

People in Permanent Vegetative States have heartbeats. But they have no brain activity, so we generally consider them dead. A fetus may have a heartbeat, but unless it also has a brain, it is not alive.

Yes, the illegality of talking to a person.

Interesting. Will we be arresting bankers for "manifesting fraud" or lawyers for "manifesting crime". How about restaurants for "manifesting indigestion"? Arizona should be ashamed of itself.

Unconsentual sex is rape, so is forcing someone who is about to rape you self defense?

I went to my prom 13 years ago, and I swear, the Seventeen Magazine prom spreads looked exactly the same. Is prom stuck in a timeless void, or are the early aughts trendy again?

Why does any person take drugs that will damage them? Because powerful drugs and addiction are more powerful than the addict. If someone cannot care for themselves enough to not put heroin in their veins, what makes you think that being pregnant will magically change this? Many addicts are homeless, or mentally…

Welp, this will totally fix this problem. Now that there is a law against it, their addictions will be cured. This will not cause pregnant addicts to avoid pre-natal care in fear that they will be sent to jail. This definitely won't result in more damaged infants.

Fuck the puritans. This is their legacy. The belief that material success is a result of moral superiority is crushing this country. It is the basis for every systemic punishment of poverty.

I love it when people with no expertise on something get a public forum to pontificate about it. Especially when they get to make up facts. I mean, why should we ever waste valuable publishing space on reality, when a "made up world" is so soothing.

I have never been more grateful to have been in high school during the Clinton years. Sex ed for all!

I'm not....I did not make the joke.

Did he have to graduate from some sort of educational institution to become a Professor? Are they giving those positions to anybody now? I could use a better job...

Guys. This has me wondering. Maybe evangelicals aren't here to try to take away our civil rights. Maybe they are here to entertain us? They are God's court jesters.
