Wow, that was a little graphic. I guess I was expecting it to cut away . . .
Barbie has no need for internal organs! Just babies.
@MuseInDisguise: Ducks, man. Isabella Rossellini taught me all about duck rape in Green Porno.
@StrawberryMilkshake: Um, did you miss the bit where he favored the death penalty for rapists?
Yes to Jason and Steve Newlin. Too bad it will never happen except in my head!
@msdarlin: They (or rather, the extremely religious, pro-life contingency that in many ways drives conservatives right or farther right) want you to submit to God.
Per the American Life League's mission: "The American Life League denies the moral acceptability of artificial birth control and encourages each individual to trust in God, to surrender to His will, and to be predisposed to welcoming children."
Your real sin, in their eyes, is not using birth control, or not wanting to have kids, or even wanting to have sex- your sin is that you dare think that you ought have control over your life instead of submitting to God's control.

Has anybody ever been able to ask a question on abortion from the pro-choice side to anti-choice candidates in a debate or forum?
Because I really just want to know what they'd say to a question about maternal mortality and morbidity from unsafe abortion. I just want to hear them literally say that they don't care about it, that's all.

@Jetgirly: When feta has too strong of a flavor profile, I really like using crumbled queso fresco. Not at all assertive, but different from mozzarrella and other melting cheese.

I love the picture chosen to accompany this article.
I don't know why this is surprising; according to this: "While fewer than 1% of
women in the quantitative survey volunteered that they
would not consider or did not favor having a baby and giving
it up for adoption, more than one-third of interview respondents
said they had considered adoption and concluded
that it was a morally unconscionable option because
giving one’s child away is wrong."

I don't even care, this is awesome and hilarious and I love it uncritically.
@so5minutesago: I'm not a huge fan of short stories, but I quite liked Francesca Lia Block's YA "Girl Goddess #9" and Laurell K. Hamilton's "Strange Candy".

@A Silly Lady Novelist: Itty Bitty Titty Committee, Mango Kiss (it's one of my faves, for real!), D.E.B.S. for silly fun, Bound for a great thriller.
@mirror_father_mirror: I might be wrong, but I was under the assumption that this entire study was focusing on women who have abortions- hence the two groups they're comparing were those who have IUD's placed immediately post-abortion (same visit), and those who made a return visit to the clinic after the abortion for the IUD.
@cait98: Really? I mean, I will definitely allow that the areas that are near glands (pits, pubes) show a discernible difference between shaven or not (because I noticed the same on myself), but I guess unless we're talking about a really close trim, I haven't seen where it's made a difference. But everybody's mileage does vary, so I could be wrong.
"A little trim, that's hygienic."
Can we stop with this notion? No, it isn't. It might be aesthetically pleasing to you, you might take it as a signal of attention to grooming and hence other hygienic practices, but the hygienic differences between natural body hair and trimmed body hair, on people with the same cleaning habits, is negligible.

@friedelindis: I've totally done this, and yeah, it's surprising how it works. Fake it 'till you make it, I suppose.
@desertbloom: I really like this idea- it helps remove her feelings of helplessness while at the same time (hopefully?) appeasing those who sneer about "getting unnecessary procedures for free".
