The "radical" side should be believing without overwhelming evidence that women ever do that shit lightly. The fact that it's not is testimony to how effectively they've been able to change the terms of the debate. Sickening.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can't even talk about guns this week. The coffee shop where I was having lunch today had the news on (I can't remember which network, I think CNN), and they managed to seque from a segment on "OMG THE VIRGINIA TECH SHOOTER PLAYED VIDEO GAMES!" to one on "But the important thing to remember is that gun control is stupid."
Well and also, can we just be sad for a week? I mean maybe in a month or so, I'll feel like advocating stricter gun control or better mental health care or whatever. But for just a week at least, I just wanna be sad.

Well, right. I wasn't really trying to reference that incident, but I guess I could have played Stupid Right Wing Thought Tricks with capital punishment just as easily.

Even without serious medical need. I have enough faith in the brains of women to say that we're not making the decision lightly.
Oh, absolutely. And personally, I believe that reproductive rights are useless unless they are broad enough to allow for stupid people to make bad decisions. We don't just protect reasoned articulate speech (obviously, just watch 10 minutes of C-SPAN), we protect ALL free speech. Likewise, we should be protecting ALL reproductive rights even if some women will use them to make decisions we don't approve of. It's the only way off the slippery slope.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The US Postal service is doing its part to prevent drunk people from ordering more alcohol to be sent to them in the mail.
The label reads: "ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. CANNOT DELIVER TO INTOXICATED PERSONS."
That's inconvenient! That means drunk people will have to get in their car and drive to a liquor store.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Nilly, though you're probably not on the board at this time, don't worry about getting the dates confused. We all do that from time to time...

Given the speed of the USPS, wouldn't they be sober by the time it arrived?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe they'll be using pneumatic tubes.
