Quote This, Quote That: I'm Not Over It Yet, And That's Okay
“I know that he is gone, gone in a way water is when it has slipped through the cracks between your cupped fingers.”
“The truth is that I’m not over it. I am currently walking through a tunnel whose end I cannot see, whose walls feel as cold as they are strangely comforting. At least in my…

Seriously, if we believe a 14 year old is too immature to know how to take a pill, do we really think she’s adult enough to handle an unwanted pregnancy?
The truth is that the age restriction is completely arbitrary, tied only to our puritanical comfort levels. And listen, I get it; I think it’s fair to say that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a 14 year old having sex. But here’s the thing - access to Plan B isn’t about keeping a 14 year old from having sex - by the time she gets to the pharmacy, that ship has sailed - it’s about keeping a 14 year old who has already had sex from getting pregnant. And despite what urban legend (or past embarrassing FDA memos) may tell you, making emergency contraception more available is not more likely to make young teens have sex - it will just make them less likely to end up pregnant.
We can’t let our discomfort with teen sex trump young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health and we can’t continue to let politics trump science. If we care about young women’s health and bodily autonomy and integrity, we’ll drop all age restrictions from emergency contraception. Anything less isn’t just illogical - it’s immoral.

No fucking shit. Hey, your call dummies: Do you want
a) a bunch of teenage girls taking morning after pills
or
b) a bunch of pregnant teenage girls?
Because there is no option c here.
Lightning round, bonus points to whoever can guess how many of those pregnant teenage girls will get the abortions you all dread so much…
and how many will die for not getting them…
or not getting them legally since I’m sure you’ll make that as impossible as you can for them too.

There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it. The little hole underneath is so terribly small that I simply can’t imagine how a man can get in there, let alone how a whole baby can get out!
Passage from The Diary of Anne Frank that parents of 7th and 8th grade students are claiming is “too graphic” and “too pornographic” to appear in classrooms. Instead, they argue, a censored version of the book should be taught if it is to be taught at all.
Gail Horalek, the parent who filed a formal complaint with her daughter’s school district in Northville, Michigan, added:
If they watch any kind of movie with a swear word in it, I have to sign a permission slip. It doesn’t mean my child is sheltered, it doesn’t mean I live in a bubble, and it doesn’t mean I’m trying to ban books.
Yes, it does. If it’s “too graphic” for middle school aged kids to read about a body part in a diary written by a girl of the same age, those kids are sheltered. Acknowledging that vaginas exist and babies come out of them isn’t pornographic, especially when many middle school aged kids can and do have sex, sometimes resulting in a pregnancy. Somehow, though, it’s more offensive than Nazis systematically murdering over 12 million human-beings in concentration camps, forcing slave labor, starving millions until dead, lining people up and shooting them in the street, and doing horrific medical experiments on unwilling participants.

Un psicólogo en una sesión grupal levantó un vaso de agua, todo el mundo esperaba la típica pregunta: ¿Está medio lleno o medio vacío? Sin embargo, preguntó:
- ¿Cuánto pesa este vaso?
Las respuestas variaron entre 200 y 250 gramos.
El psicólogo respondió: “El peso absoluto no es importante, depende de cuánto tiempo lo sostengo.
Si lo sostengo 1 minuto, no es problema, si lo sostengo una hora, me dolerá el brazo, si lo sostengo 1 día, mi brazo se entumecerá y paralizará.
El peso del vaso no cambia, pero cuanto más tiempo lo sujeto, más pesado, más difícil de soportar se vuelve.”
Y continuó: “Las preocupaciones son como el vaso de agua.
Si piensas en ellas un rato, no pasa nada.
Si piensas un poco más empiezan a doler y si piensas en ellas todo el día, acabas sintiéndote paralizado, incapaz de hacer nada.”
Acuérdate de soltar el vaso!!!
