I live three blocks from a planned parenthood and have a guest room. IJS.
Lisah that’s awesome that you’re already on the roster. But what a shit reason.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I can't offer anything, being in the shithole we call Texas, but I can offer money.
Meanwhile, my husband's Fox-News-watching parents are here, and MIL just asked me if Louisiana was pro-life. Fortunately, we're watching a movie and FIL shushed her quickly. It's better than Wednesday's reference to "the blacks" and her misgendering of husband's trans cousin.

Dear lord, Dana. Hang in there.

Less devastating but still annoying news: Nathan Fillion says Joss was always fine with him!
Gee, the straight white man who dwarfs Joss Whedon was never subject to abuse from him on set! Who could have guessed such a thing would be the case?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I'd like to write a story with women of legal age interested in being mothers organizing to quickly seek out the most conservative men they know or can find (with many of them seeking out the sons of politicians/judges) for casual unprotected sex. Once pregnant, suing for child support in amounts to set them and the child for life. With organizations like PP and NARAL and NOW and ACLU funding the suits and making parental financial responsibility for men start at conception and not end until the child is 18. Lobbying at state houses and in Congress for more strict child support laws including seizure of property. If the impregnator was under 18, the parents would be responsible.

TCG and I are doing what feels like a very Buffista think and watching the same show on different devices in different rooms.

Not an uncommon sight at F2Fs.
Me: [knocking on Matilda's door] "Did you finish your dinner?"
Matilda: [bundled up in her Fancy Bed] "No."
Me: "Because you ate too many snacks!"
Matilda: "Hey! Did you lose any of your fundamental rights today?!"
Me: "....."
Matilda: "That's right Mr. White Man!
Me: "Okay, I'm just going to clear this bowl..."
Matilda: "Can you get me some water?"
Reader, I got her some water.

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, Matilda. It is a gut-wrenching shock to different generations in different ways. How many women today will find out they are pregnant when they are unable physically, emotionally, financially, or in some way totally unable or unwilling to carry a baby to term? Having had 3 miscarriages and 2 births it is inconceivable to me to be forced to give birth. It just hurts.

Slate’s Amicus has a good emergency podcast. I haven’t had a chance to talk to any young people, but I can say this decision is really alarming my mother. I did not exist before Roe vWade. We were born in the same year.

Matilda’s reaction seems completely reasonable to me. Get her some more snacks!
I wonder what my shopper is going to think when I place a grocery order that is 50% hard candy just to get this awful taste out of my mouth.
