It's Not About Abortion
I originally wrote this for the school paper in April. I’m republishing it here.
It’s Not About Abortion

(Originally published in the Saint Rose Chronicle, April, 2011)
Barack Obama has not done everything he said he would. Guantanamo Bay is still up and running (thriving, really; Khalid Sheik Mohammed is even going to be tried there), same-sex couples are still...

Regarding Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and Planned Parenthood
Some have asked questions about Susan G. Komen for the Cure funding a handful of breast health programs sponsored by Planned Parenthood. We’d like to explain our position.
Komen for the Cure has more than 120 Affiliates in the United States, and each Affiliate is responsible for assessing its community and determining...

Cancer Charity Halts Grants To Planned Parenthood
The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women. The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams.
Planned Parenthood says...

“To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before...”

So this happened
counterclock-wise:
K picked me up at the bus stop to get some more groceries on the way home. When we were waiting in line at the cash desk I whined about my day, the weather, basically everything. You know those days. K teased me about my bad mood and kissed. A super innocent kiss. Close-mouthed innocent. The toddler’s mother in front of us whipped around and said: “You know how disgusting that...

jamiek asked: No, no. There were two notes, but yours was the only one that shows up under "show notes," so it seems that someone else is Tumblr invisible. It's early and I'm not feeling very clear this morning.

Do these people think government agents are going to show up at their house and force-feed them Ortho-Tricyclen or something?
GODDAMMIT YOU’RE GIVING AWAY OUR EVIL LIBERAL PLAN!

Anti-choice is in the air—the —the Facebook air.
And when isn’t it.
Am I morally obligated to bleep the names of these people? I feel like I’m not.

“The man in that job shouldn’t have to be presented with anything! It’s for someone who grabs it and holds on to it, for someone who thinks the gods have conspired to bring him to this place, that destiny demands of him this service!”
I think Toby just endorsed Herman Cain.

Premont, Tex., Schools Suspend Sports to Save... →
The estimated $150,000 that the district would spend during the next year on spring and fall sports, including football, could no longer be justified.
…
Then there is the $150,000 needed to renovate the high school science labs, which have been closed for safety reasons and overcome by mold.
I think they have their priorities in order.

Florida Legislature: College Professors Need Not... →
A bill moving forward in the Florida Senate would ban state college and university employees, such as professors, from serving in the state legislature.
…
It has already gotten further than a bill that would have allowed Florida voters to recall state leaders.
stayinbedgrowyourhair:
it’s kind of depressing how many of these issues were being debated on the west wing ten years ago
president bartlet’s legacy is clearly one of failure
Clearly.

Now, Abby, I thought you going to use this for good and not evil. I might’ve reconsidered (momentarily) sharing this gold mine if I knew you’d form the Justice League of Awesome in the first 10 minutes. It makes me look bad.

Its popularity stems from a song on Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP in which a deranged fan named Stan becomes obsessed with him and eventually kills himself and his girlfriend. The song also samples Dido.
I really don’t know where to put that last piece of information.

librariansoul replied to your post: I’m so done with these goddamn Rose stans who can’t sit the fuck down and recognize that ROSE AIN’T THERE ANYMORE
“Stan” apparently means “crazed, obsessed fan.” Possibly from “stalker fan”?
Ugh, I can’t keep up with these new fan kids and their lingo.
