I agree. Like I said, I understand where she was coming from, wanting to prevent other women from suffering the same way she did. But there are other ways to go about that and I don’t think she understood that. She’s also black and let’s face it, there is negative history regarding abortions and black women. I mean to this day, you have doctors who believe in old racist bullshit like black people have a higher pain tolerance; medical treatment is often different if you’re white vs black as well.

Yeah, she was unable to have kids going forward and ended up needing a complete hysterectomy at 40. This was also the 90s and I’m positive the procedures are more advanced now. But there can be side effects that are often not talked about among pro choice people. I mean they are rare, but it can happen. I know a lot of women who ended up severely depressed after (my mom ran a support group). But that doesn’t mean abortion should be banned, but that mental health support for women who have had abortions is desperately needed and necessary, especially if the baby is wanted.

My mom was one. Didn’t realize until I was older, and long after she died. But yeah, she only voted Republican because she was anti abortion. She had an abortion and suffered from unintended side effects and didn’t want other women to experience the same. I get where she was coming from, but she definitely had the wrong idea with banning abortion.

Oddly enough, it was a comment on Reddit that opened my eyes to everything. Something along the lines of “Dems don’t want women to have abortions. But we’d like the choice if need be.”

I think it depends on where you live. I had to go in person to get a copy of my birth certificate and provide a picture ID and SSN card.

They have a website!

I wish r/askhistorians mods would come here. This is a great question for them, if you’re looking for in depth and cited replies.

Do it!!! I had 1 recording of my moms voice on her iPhone. Then someone stole the phone. I wish so badly that I could hear her voice, it’s been 10yrs and I’ve forgotten what she sounded like.

Like no one uses their blinker anymore! It’s such a habit for me, I’ll turn it on when exiting out the driveway and we are the last house on the block! My husband makes fun of me when I do it, but it’s just such an automatic thing for me. Like seriously, I’d rather drive surrounded by semis because at least they are courteous and signal lane changes.

ETA: It’s like everyone said fuck it and forgot the rules of the road. They’re so fucking simple too.

Has gog updated it? Yesterday is was still the old version.

All you had to do was hit the x in the top right corner.

Oh from the day Reddit went live there have been fake accounts. That’s how Steve and Alexis made it look like people were using the site.

I guess?

You’re taking my comment too literal.

As a former sex worker, I agree. But what does that have to do with my comment?

So it’s okay to fuck prostitutes as long as you wear a condom?

Decoy snail.

It was my video player. Downloaded VLC and everything works now!
