My Jewish Abortion →
kveller.com
This is a fabulous crosspost from Kveller that was featured on Jezebel today. The author talks about how she was a 19-year-old freshman at Berekeley facing an unwanted pregnancy with an added dose of Nice Jewish Girl guilt. Not to mention the $250 copay for an abortion.
Her doctor noticed her Star of David necklace and told her about a Jewish organization that would give her a scholarship for the money she needed. So not only did she get her unwanted pregnancy taken care of in a safe, timely manner, she also found out that so many Nice Jewish Girls have crossed this path before her that they have a special fund set aside for it. It’s actually pretty heartwarming.

Note that the Torah doesn’t say anything about abortion.
After a date rape (by a "poet") during a trip to Paris in 1967 when she was 23, she found herself pregnant. She tried the usual "remedies" -- scalding hot baths, violent jumping, having someone walk on her belly. When she got home to Minnesota, she was two months along. A doctor friend there said he couldn't help her himself, but sent her to a local prostitute who did abortions. →

“The Way It Was”: Abortion in the US before Roe v. Wade.
I was thinking about this article and this is really one of my favourite articles ever. Really powerful.
Reblogging for the same reason ^
I want to print out this article and personally hand it to every “til abortion ends” loser giving up soda and candy bars until we WAHHH STOP KILLING BABIES. Abortion has always existed and will always exist.
“Townshend found how backward Australian hotel room service was when, phoning down for breakfast one morning, at what he considered a reasonable hour, he was laughed at by the desk: ‘This is Orstaylia mate, we get out of bed in the morning here.’ Pissed off, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Visiting a local supermarket he purchased a large box of cornflakes and a gallon of milk. Returning to his room he poured the contents into the sink and after sampling a few mouthfuls of his breakfast delicacy, he left the rest to solidify into the sink like concrete before checking out of the hotel.”

- her: Is Thor a princess?
- her: Thor gets hit by cars a lot.
- her: WHY IS LOKI BLUE

- her: Poor Loki.
- her: Can we have him?
- her: Thor and that girl are gonna get married
- her: Is Loki bad now?
- me: Yup.
- her: He likes being bad.
- her: Because he likes his spear.
- her: and his helmet.
- her: Thor wants to stop Loki right?
- me: Yes he does.
- her: But- Thor doesn't want to kill Loki.
- her: Because Thor loves Loki a lot.
- her: No! Did Loki die?!
- her: But I liked Loki...
- her: I bet Thor misses him,
- her: I miss him.
The Romney Campaign Keeps Saying That This Election Is About Jobs...
Alright, let’s talk about jobs.
Mitt Romney didn’t create jobs at Bain Capital &

as has become so apparent in this nation Being Rich =/= Job Creator.
So… what do you want to talk about now?
