Congressman says abortions never necessary to save life of mother

One of the things that really upsets me about these assholes in power who know nothing at all about how abortions, medicine, and women's reproductive systems work is that they keep saying this shit and essentially challenging women who have went through some serious trauma to have to talk about it publicly. If nobody does step forward they can just crow like children about being right because nobody challenged them... but when women do step forward that have been in these situations and had to make awful choices (like, for fucks sake, of COURSE women have had to choose between their own health and the baby) they are then vilified and targeted by hateful trolls.

What an awful catch 22. Haven't they made enough difficult choices already?

I'll be so happy when the elections are over.

It's almost like they've designed their entire platform around shaming women, or something.

Also the irony of the Republicans trying to use science as justification for outlawing a practice for religious reasons.

are we playing the "Guest throws out a random link with no commentary at all and acts as though he's made a point we're all ignoring" game again?

Well, it's a "random link" to do with the subject of the wage gap, you know, relevant to the subject being discussed. If your reading comprehension is higher than that of a toddler or someone who is mentally ill, you'd see the contention within that thread is not the wage gap is, and I quote, "women's fault for not negotiating enough." It's not saying that at all. Then again, I'm not expecting genius from the person who said men have total control over the media, internet and the spread of culture.

yes, if my reading comprehension was higher i would able to read the words that are not there and magically divine from Guest what his point is

alas, i remain a mere mortal

is it really so hard for you to just say what your fucking point is? no insults. no whining. no sneering that your point is actually hidden somewhere in Comment #37895727529897915 and it's also written in Navajo and only visible in the light of the winter solstice if Mars, Neptune, and the Oort Cloud are all perfectly aligned and the blood of a live chicken has been sacrificed to the chaos gods and if you didn't find it then obviously you're an idiot. say what your point is. present a thesis statement. make a point.
