Some lady on Batman: Brave and the Bold: “Hal Jordan is cool. Women want him and men want to be him.”
Me: “…Him?”
I saw a lot of pretty poor reviews for the pilot of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s new show, Ringer, and thought, awww, I was really looking forward to that! But I watched it today and I totally dug it. My taste is either even worse than I already thought or I’m just more pleased about having SMG and Nestor Carbonell back on my TV than I even expected.
Whatever, whatever, murder, intrigue and twins. It’s like Sweet Valley High, only all grown up! I’m in.
lol is that the kid from seventh heaven sporting a beard on the vampire diaries?
I’m just as upset about the change, but I’ll let DC Women Kicking Ass handle this one:
Amanda Waller, who represented two under represented groups of people in comics, women of color and people of size, now represents just one.
I get it it must be a return to the most “iconic ver… wait Amanda Waller has something to say …
I hear you Amanda, I hear you.
Not everyone looks the same in this world. There are people in wheelchairs and people of size. I’d like to see some in my comics, too.
whaaaaaaaaaaaat.
The American Academy of Pediatrics would like to correct false statements made in the Republican presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no scientific validity to this statement. Since the vaccine has been introduced, more than 35 million doses have been administered, and it has an excellent safety record.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommend that girls receive HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That’s because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it’s important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity. In the U.S., about 6 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year, and 4,000 women die from cervical cancer. This is a life-saving vaccine that can protect girls from cervical cancer.

DYING HERE
There are actual fucking physicians in this world who won’t treat ectopic pregnancies.
I want to cry.
….pretty sure this is actually illegal. Like, if someone comes in to the ER, no matter who they are, what they need, if they are in immediate danger, you have to treat them. It’s problematic from an economic/insurance standpoint (like, logistically, sometimes it is hard to figure out how to pay/who can pay for services), but ultimately, you will get treated.
Actually, most states have conscience clauses that protect doctors who would rather let a woman die from an ectopic pregnancy or hemorrhage to death because of a miscarriage and they are fully within their rights to refuse treatment because of these clauses. AND, depending on the hospital you go to (whether it is affiliated with a church like many hospitals are) they have to refuse to treat you because they aren’t allowed to do certain procedures by the board of directors/ethics committee.
The nun who was excommunicated for allowing an abortion to take place to save a dying woman is a prime example of an ethics committee allowing an abortion in a hospital where they are not allowed to be performed without permission. The church excommunicated the nun because they didn’t think saving the life of the mother justified terminating the 11 week fetus….which would have died with the mother a few weeks later if the abortion had not been allowed. So two deaths, according to the church, would have been better than the one. The 27-year old woman who needed the abortion due to pulmonary hypertension already had four children, too.
Now, doctors can refuse to treat patients due to these conscience clauses without any legal ramifications, but the odds of another doctor being called in to take care of the patient is high. The problem with this, though, is that women end up waiting while in the process of a miscarriage for the doctor to arrive and treat them. I posted a story about a woman who went through a miscarriage and another doctor had to be called that wasn’t affiliated with the hospital she went to because it was a Catholic hospital and none of the doctors would treat her. I’m having trouble finding the link, but this woman was literally bleeding to death in front of these doctors while waiting for the other doctor to arrive and no one even offered her pain medication. Instead they kept talking about how interesting of a case study she was while she was dying. She survived because the doctor finally showed up and performed the D&C she needed but she could have died while waiting for it. AND THIS IS COMPLETELY LEGAL BECAUSE OF ANTI-CHOICE LEGISLATION.
In any other case, a person bleeding to death would be treated immediately, but because it happens to be a pregnant woman (whose fetus, I might add, was already dead) there are laws in place to protect doctors who would rather let her die because they want to “preserve their conscience”. Personally, I don’t see how letting someone die in front of you preserves one’s conscience when you have all the tools available to save that person’s life, but I guess you aren’t a person if you’re pregnant, only the fetus has any sort of value, not the mother of four who is going to die.

Oh Giuliani. Of course you’re all over this. :\
Was watching live 10 years ago, watching live again now. Always a weird area to live in on this day.
Hahaha, I still can’t believe I’m Slytherin. KnightCloak174 BE FRIENDS.
Haha, like everyone I’m friends with is either in Slytherin or Ravenclaw. I think I know one Gryffindor and one Hufflepuff. I WILL ADD YOU!
(I’m DraconisGold145 for anyone who wants to add me or sees me adding you.)
Ravenclaw, heck yeah. I always knew I was a secret genius.

Yes! I was on the Platform to get on the train. I’m so curious about where I’ll be sorted.
Yay, Pottermore email! I got my wand but then it went down for maintenance before I could get sorted. I’m unreasonably disappointed about this. My wand is SPRUCE WITH PHOENIX FEATHER CORE, TEN INCHES, SURPRISINGLY SWISHY. Damn right, my wand is surprisingly swishy.
