More slut shaming: Michigan 'Rape Insurance' Bill Passes Into Law

[Josh]

There is this #PrayToEndAbortion shit kicking around Twitter today that brings out the anger.

Shit is broken. Can't be fixed. Disgust is rising higher and higher.

Oh, and apparently you can get away with murder if you suffer from "affluenza," which is mommy and daddy giving you a wealthy, privileged, lily-white lifestyle that prevents you from developing a sense of right and wrong: http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/11/us/tex...eck/index.html

You can bet some "inner city" youth doing the same thing would be in jail for 50 years, no question.

Broken country is broken.

I posted about this in the bugging me thread last month. I work a block or so away from the Planned Parenthood (for all of my work related abortion needs), and saw these whackjobs sitting outside of the clinic with children in the cold ass weather. Made me sick.

Yup. When I started with my last job at the credit union 8 years ago things were different. Still goverened by the people they talk about but not as money hungry. I started noticing changes around 3 years ago, but it wasn't anything to be alarmed about. In the past 2 years more and more fees were introduced, less leeway given etc. My supervisors were looking for more and more sales with less counseling so that's when the job hunt started. I now work for a small Annapolis bank that has 4 offices in the county and that's it. There is no huge push for sales, and it's laid back. HQ is literally right upstairs so any upward movement wouldn't be a longer commute.

Hopefully it made them sick too. Shit's cold down there sometimes.

Yeah, there's a Planned Parenthood about a block away from my bank and there's always at least one old lady sitting outside the gate with a poster of an aborted fetus for all to see.

But it's when assholes like that start shaping the law that the rage hits. Ugh.
