That's 2 2/3 inches wide, which is possible but improbable unless they're something like headshots. I can't think of any other P, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I may have led a sheltered life -- every woman that I've known well who's become pregnant has had an SO. So I haven't had to think along the lines of in vitro or casual fling or rape. (And it should probably go without saying, but I wouldn't ask.)

I would assume turkey baster over rape, every time.

Frankly, I would assume that any woman I knew who became pregnant from rape would have an abortion. There are certainly women who keep the child, but my assumption would be that they wouldn't.

In other news, ESRI, which is a major player in computerized mapping technology, has an online wildfire map of the United States. Useful, that.

Well, that explains why the air around here is so much crap.

In procrastination news, I just disconnected my landline phone service; something I should have done about 8 years ago.

Well, but I think the point is, if she keeps the pregnancy, at some point (many points) people are going to be asking her about how it happened/why/who the father is. People are nosy and rude. So regardless of whether it's them asking about "Oh, did you decide to go ahead and do it yourself?" re turkey baster, or whatever, she's going to have to THINK about it and come up with an answer and deal all the time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I saw a quote from Akin and he said that he thinks you are punishing innocent life if you have an abortion - no matter the circumstances by which the woman got pregnant.

But the morning after pill would solve that in some cases. So he should be all for it!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Many conservatives view the morning after pill as a type of abortion.

Along with some other forms of contraception.

Ryan thinks this, btw.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Many conservatives view the morning after pill as a type of abortion.

Many conservatives also seem to think that this (among other biological facts) is a matter of opinion.

I can only conclude from this that many conservatives are too stupid to live and should not be put in charge of legislating things.
