'Underneath'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I would love to say I'm anti-abortion. Because I'm not all "yay, abortions for everyone!" The language is pretty weird. I wish everyone could just agree to do things that are actually helpful in reducing the number of abortions. It would make the world a little bit simpler.
This.
Yeppers.
BTW, does anyone have -t's email addy? A thread search is proving to not be helpful, and I need to email her.
Grazie!
EDIT: Got it! Thanks!
Rare, safe, and legal. Pro choice. That's me.
My phone interview today went pretty well.Hil that sounds very promising! Hopefully "over qualified" means top of the list. Sounds like a good plan, and glad the interviewer agrees.
So if the lawmakers in OK and AZ got together, would they still want every undocumented pregnant person to keep her baby? And have it born on American soil?Oh My God that is the most perfect snipe I have ever heard. Can I put that in my FB? You should send that to Daily Show.
WOOOHOO!!! I'm Number One!! flashes patented #1 sign aroundMs Empress, far be it for me to point out proper etiquette to someone as esteemed as you, but the custom for flashing the #1 sign is to use the POINTER finger, not the middle. K. Thanks. Mwah!

IOON- I should be packing.
It's awfully damned easy to espouse a yes/no, right/wrong POV. All you have to do is scream. It's way harder to think about grey, and what to freakin' do when life complicates things.
This.
And what smonster said.
I cannot believe that I left the board for hours this evening to have dinner with meatspace friends and had the same, exact conversation...only with no awareness of the Oklahoma business.
One of us is a former nun who's sister works for Operation Rescue. Debate much? Oh, yes we did.
The simultaneously charming and alarming thing was that she was clueless to the 'we care until the baby is born' segment of the anti-abortion community.
When I mentioned going to marches and asking the anti-abortion folks how many adopted children they had, she earnestly waited for the answer. Bless that naivete, I guess.
She also felt it was impossible that anyone connected to Operation Rescue had in any way, EVER been connected with violence against clinics or doctors. Oh, NO. They only do lobbying.
Uh. huh.
That is...very sheltered. I suppose I think of nuns as kind of the educated storm troopers of the Catholic world.

And me.
Dude, a newscaster just said "Mr. Obama." Shouldn't that be "President," like, always?

This was my experience of the avowed religious in my program at Loyola. I loved them all. The wives of the Baptist ministers who proudly shared the horrifying scare tactics they used in their pregnancy 'crisis' centers? No love.
The other day I was in my friend's children's consignment shop when a woman came in with flyers for such a center. I asked a couple of questions, to which she would only say, "Um, I'm new...I think it is connected to a church but I don't really know..." Right.
My friend was so open and welcoming with her, but the hair went up on the back of my neck. When she left, without pushing my fear too much, I asked him to look the center up on the 'net before putting the literature out. Those papers never hit the counter, I tell you what.
I am quite sure that if I had been alive in medieval times, I would have been a nun or a courtesan. Maybe one first, then the other.
