on boob sweat: have you tried putting pantyliners in your bra to absorb the sweat? I did it last summer and it saved me many a shirt. They go right in the crease between the cup and the band.

Yeah, I could not do twice a day, and I probably shouldn't do everyday. I wash my hair only once every two days and don't even get it wet. If I sleep over at the bf's place on a weeknight, I don't shower at all. Lotion, on the other hand, twice a day every day plus more as needed forever. I don't wear deodorant either…

Sure, but here's the thing about calling yourself pro-life and pro-choice (not saying you do, but as many people here have identified themselves): it implies that there are people who are pro-choice and anti-life, which is what the anti-abortion movement wants you to think. If being pro-life means "I personally would…

Sorry, misunderstood your original point.

The definition I go by, which is also generally the definition accepted by political groups, politicians, and pollsters, is that if you are pro-life you support legislation that limits rights and access to abortion, and that if you are pro-choice is support legislation that protects abortion rights. If you are…

I think I would remember to track my period, if my app yelled at me obnoxiously and said "ARE YOU PREGNANT??? WHEN WAS YOUR LAST PERIOD OMG????"

Why are taxes irrelevant? Taxes are one of the ways people contribute to their society. If I pay $100 in taxes and my fetus pays zero, I contribute a $100 more. I am $100 more valuable as a member of my community. Any adult who is at least somewhat able bodied is able to contribute through work or money. Children are…

But the patient's wishes ARE known, clearly. Canada has court panels that rule on whether a person can or cannot have certain expensive, often life saving procedures. Are you okay with this? Because this is literally the equivalent situation to what you're describing.

I would love for someone to explain to me how a potential life, with absolutely zero indication whether that potential life will become a genius scientist or a serial killer, is more valuable than the tax paying citizen it inhabits?

Um no. We do not force life saving procedures on people. My grandmother refused dialysis when she went into kidney failure. People can and do refuse life saving medical procedures all the time, cancer treatments, even CPR. We do not have a law that forces people to have life saving treatment and I think a majority of…

Totally, and they clearly staked out "pro-life" because it makes them look better and they can be like "we're PRO-life, so that they're ANTI-life!"

yeah, totally agree. The thing is, saying you're pro-life when all you mean is "I personally don't think people should have an abortion, but I want that right protected for people" is kind of irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. I think it's awesome that you believe choice should be protect while personally…

I think we can actually determine the intrinsic value of a fetus. It is zero. As a fetus, it is neither producing anything of value and not really taking away anything of value (at least early enough in the pregnancy that the mother can still work). In most cases, the fetus is less valuable than the woman it is in.…

Interesting twist. But no, pro-choice is defined as legislating to protect the individual choice to make a decision concerning your pregnancy.

The situations where the concerns of the father or the parents are relevant, generally tend to be considered. If you are with a partner who is considerate and sane, you will consider his say in the decision. However, a law that would require unanimous consent of two parties to get an abortion would open the door for…

So, yes, logically I agree with you. Unfortunately pro-life organizations and activists do equate "pro-life" and "anti-choice."

I go with the dictionary definition of pro-life, which states that there is a legal/legislative component that limits abortion. This is the language used by almost all pro-life organizations. So, with that definition, I don't think you can be "personally pro-life." If you believe that, regardless of your personal…

You basically just described what it means to be pro-choice. Like, down to the letter.

How is it not a choice for everyone is abortion is legally protected? You can say, metaphorically, "I wanted this baby, it wasn't even a choice," but legally speaking it was. You have a legally protected choice between two options, even if you could make the choice without having to think about it. For example, when…

I'm not a doctor, and while I have never noticed eczema patches there specifically, I can say that it feels least itchy with least amount of hair. However, the stumble from shaving is pretty much unbearable. I think it causes the most ingrown hairs.
