Your lame-ass bitching made me think Roe had been overturned or something.  
There, there, we all heard you, you’re a brave girl, we’ll call you “Abortolass” or “Babykiller” (sorry, “Clump-of-tissue evicter”); here’s a star, now stick it in your navel till you reach the vertebrae. When you’re coming back take out your uterus so you won’t ever have to even consider being annoyed by abortion.

(Sorry for double-posting)  
So I’m forced to pay for her babykilling?  
Why are people allowed to force their belifes on innocent powerless babies?  
It means that “the miracle of life” doesn’t end during delivery.

Aji honey… have a napkin. You got a bit of spittle there.

In all seriousness, may I ask, how passionate are you about babies? Like, \*born \*babies? Like, starving in Africa babies? Do you get this worked up about it?

I’m not really one for sig lines, but this:

I’m just going to say this.

My sister-in-law had her second baby, and while she was in there, got her tubes tied with no issue and no fuss.

I, who have no kids, have wanted to get my tubes tied since I was…oh, 25 or so. I’m 33 now. I’ve been told twice gently that I should wait a few more years, and now that I probably can get it, it costs a fortune and I can’t figure out how to pay for it. I don’t think my insurance will pay for it, though I have searched and can’t find anything on it.  
Just demonstrating the difference between mothers and the rest of us.

My money is on your having giant-squid excrement for brains. I’ll cover the spread.  
Or maybe the truth makes you so uncomfortable you need a lame-lame-lame-ass joke to cover for it.

Why would you be paying for anyone’s abortion?

Because, they aren’t babies until they are fully cooked and born. Prior to that, they are fetuses (feti?).

Heck, what about the babies here in the US? However, most of these anti-choicers don’t give a tinker’s damn about actual babies, they just want to force either their religious views or misogyny on the rest of us.

Give them a call! When I was paying group claims, they all covered tubals. Also, get a referral thru Planned Parenthood to find a doctor that doesn’t think he knows what you want better than you do.

If it makes you feel any better, it took me until to was almost 35 to find a dr that would do my tubal, since I had no kids or husband at the time, and therefore didn’t know my own mind…:rolleyes:

“Pushy enough” I think is the key, but the doctors sure do have a problem with those of us who aren’t (weren’t) married!

Truth? What does that picture have to do with truth? The fact is, we don"t know what it is showing. There is no descriptive caption, no citation of sources, no references at all; are we suppose to assume it has not been photo-shopped or manufactured? You haven’t even made any claims for the photo, you just throw it out there, and hope everybody jumps to a conclusion. Devoid of context, that picture is meaningless. So there is just as much proof that picture is a gummy bear as there is for what ever you are claiming it is.
