I swear to god, I despair of humanity on a daily basis. Some parts of it, anyway.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is he Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner? Kyle Rayner I can get, but Hal Jordan? No.
He's Hal.

Now tagless for your comfort.
They're just proof we need MORE birth control rather than less. I feel SO much better about yelling at them. I just saw the signs. This was MONTHS ago. I didn't realize how monumentally stupid they really were at the time.

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 woman at the end of the video, who says she's carrying her 12th child tells us how dangerous chemical contraception is.
I wish they could just be honest and say, "We want to outlaw contraception because we think God thinks it's naughty."
Opposition to contraception has been a part of the anti-abortion movement since at least the '80s, but they generally avoided making a big fuss about contraception then, considering how popular it is.

The cool thing about the family planning clinic they're protesting in Wausau--if you go to a family planning class, you can qualify for free birth control for a year.
I donate money to them every year. That's fucking awesome.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Dear Lord, Cashmere.
Sometimes antiabortion protesters picket outside the hospital, but for some reason they always choose to do it in front of the mental health wing. Which is far away from everything else at the hospital. It is very weird.
Much ma to Windsparrow, erika's mom, and Hayden/fater.

I wish they could just be honest and say, "We want to outlaw contraception because we think God thinks it's naughty."
I don't know, I think it's more about keeping women from having sexual and reproductive freedom and, by extension, returning to "traditional" roles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is he Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner? Kyle Rayner I can get, but Hal Jordan? No.
He's Hal, but I think it's inescapable that they'll inject comedy into a superhero movie, unless they want to be explicitly Dark Knight. Call it the Iron Man heritage. And GL ain't no Dark Knight. The learning to have no fear angle (as opposed to innately having no fear), I'm good with.
It doesn't look like it's a comedy, which is okay with me.

Also I think there are a good number of people who believe that family planning and abortion are pretty much the same thing.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
It's a control thing. But people hate that so they pull a Helen Lovejoy instead.
