Comments on: In Which I Wait Two Menstrual Cycles http://www.harpyness.com/2012/02/27/in-which-i-wait-two-menstrual-cycles/ As narrated by the most charming and vicious women on the internet Fri, 17 May 2013 21:22:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: MrsLuvLeigh http://www.harpyness.com/2012/02/27/in-which-i-wait-two-menstrual-cycles/comment-page-1/#comment-89395 MrsLuvLeigh Wed, 11 Jul 2012 20:53:15 +0000 http://www.harpyness.com/?p=22140#comment-89395 Where has this blog been hiding? I have felt so alone in my strong viewpoints for so long. I recently had a long discussion on fb with my very religious cousin who jokingly called me a demon for my viewpoints.
I get so rattled lately by others ignorance. The whole Planned Parenthood debate literally has my panties in a knot! Without affordable cancer screenings and birth control I would be unable to obtain my master’s degree. If PP wouldn’t had been there when I was 16, I would have been a teen mom.
Can’t we just agree that if it is my vagina, my rules?!

Sometimes it’s pragmatic to “play nice,” even when it isn’t just or warranted by the other party’s behavior, but I like the sentiment that when you as an individual have had enough, you’re not under any obligation to try to reason with unreasonable people.

You are so right. We try to be pleasant and considerate and they run us right over. Screw that. This is a war, and we don’t intend to lose.

Also, your happy news makes me happy! It’s well deserved and I hope it continues. Hugs to you and your whole family/

Oddly, I have this vision of it as a purse which you can now fill it with other, more convenient, things like Skittles or spare change.

Thank you for blogging this experience so honestly! It has done more good than you will probably ever know!

What I never understand, is this: I cannot understand how ANYONE who has had a child could EVER not be pro-choice. I have two children, and being pregnant and giving birth to them made me 100% more firm in my pro-choiceness. The mere thought that anyone has to go through that who doesn’t want it 100% makes me sick.

Whoo Hoo for other wonderful things in life!

Whoo Hoo for me not being the parent of a 22 year-old! I will forever be grateful for that D&C in late ’88. I cannot even imagine how my life would be different if I’d been forced to bear a child I never wanted.

The recent kerfuffle over the VA bill makes me a little furious that so many people don’t realize that TX’s medical rape bill is already in effect, traumatizing and re-traumatizing people with uteri all over this state who just want to decide for themselves.

I’m so glad you live somewhere where this was an option for you and THANK YOU so much for posting all about it. If we keep talking and being not nice, it will eventually change. I have to believe it!

When we agreed to pretend that an abortion is the worst fate that can befall a woman, we lost the battle. Now we’re fighting to retain access to birth control. We can’t seem to win equal pay. Next we’ll be fighting for access to certain jobs and then the workplace entirely. The other side has a mission and it doesn’t end with abortion.

I’m happy to hear that, in spite of the delays and extra meds, the abortion went well and you are officially un-pregnant! Thanks again for putting your story out here for all of us and helping to abolish the fear and shame surrounding the issue. I hadn’t seen Jen’s comments on the first post- wow! Arguing feelings against facts never goes over well.
