ceasesilence:
I believe that your abortion is none of my business. I don’t need to know:

bohemiansouth:
Former Washington Post journalist Laura Sessions Stepp writes:
How can it be that we are firmly into the 21st century and reading claims that birth control pills can cause prostate cancer and abort babies?

stfuconservatives:
An Atlantic Monthly article saying what I’ve been saying for a long time: unpaid internships are terrible and should be illegal. There is no reason businesses should expect unpaid labor from anyone.
