giving up.

I am doing this: [link] with one of the closets in my new bedroom.

"If you didn't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't have had sex."

This law goes way farther than that. I very intentionally had sex with my lawfully wedded husband with the explicit goal of getting pregnant AND IT WORKED. And this law would put me in jail.*

(*That is, if I hadn't been left to bleed out in the delivery room as God intended. I don't know how common it is to have a doctor who performs emergency third-trimester D&Es five minutes away in this country, but I'm guessing not very.)

Anyone want to write my blog post on "Why chicks dig vampires?"

IO9 says it's because of morality. I think they're full of crap. Thinly veiled sex and power metaphor.

Do chicks dig vampires more than dudes do?

It's the ultimate bad boy fantasy, Daisy. So bad he's dead. And a blood-sucker. And yet he loves you so much he wants to make you his eternal bride.

Or something.

Makes sense, ita.

I don't know that they do, but this is because no one felt qualified to write about Twilight: New Moon when it releases, next week, I think.

There were rumblings about the law last week too, and I thought of you immediately--what you were going through and how it would criminalize you and everyone in your already terrible position, and it put me in an utterly HULK SMASH place. Also, HULK SIGN A TON OF ONLINE PETITIONS AND WRITE URGENT EMAILS TO HULK'S SENATORS, not that it made much difference, apparently.

Awww... I love Hulk.

The problem with being a governor who realizes that making miscarriages an investigatible occurrence is idiotic, is that if he vetoes the bill, all his opponents will say "He doesn't care if babies die! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!" And too many loony tunes will believe it. And you may bet safely that there are opponents waiting for Utah's governor to make his move.

Oh Jessica, my heart goes out to you. And to have your personal grief getting tangled up in this kind of fucked up politics....

Ugh, just ugh. People are so fucked up.

I'm sorry.

he loves you so much he wants to make you his eternal bride.

Except he probably just wants to eat you.

But that's not part of the fantasy, is it? How far does the typical fantasy go--stay human, stay alive? Become a vampire bride? Puppy chow is out, I'm guessing.
