Because everyone deserves decent pay, benefits, and the ability to afford retirement. (Taken with instagram)
History is a great teacher. Now everyone knows that the labor movement did not diminish the strength of the nation but enlarged it. By raising the living standards of millions, labor miraculously created a market for industry and lifted the whole nation to undreamed of levels of production. Those who attack labor forget these simple truths, but history remembers them.

While waiting to give birth, Jordan was taken into the home of a “shepherding family” the agency hooked her up with, where — despite the fact she hadn’t yet decided on adoption — she was referred to exclusively as a “birth mother.” Says Jordan, “I felt like a walking uterus for the agency.” After she settled on an adoptive couple and gave birth,
Jordan cried all day and didn’t think she could relinquish the baby. She called her shepherding parents and asked if she could bring the baby home. They refused, chastising Jordan sharply. The counselor told the couple Jordan was having second thoughts and brought them, sobbing, into her recovery room. The counselor warned Jordan that if she persisted, she’d end up homeless and lose the baby anyway.
Jordan signed the adoption papers and went back to live with the shepherding family, who were “celebrating and asked why Jordan wouldn’t stop crying.” 5 days later she left, and when she later called the agency looking for the counseling they promised, her shepherding mother told her “You’re the one who spread your legs and got pregnant out of wedlock. You have no right to grieve for this baby.”
Many other women, says Joyce, have had similar experiences. Lured in with promises of support, counseling, a home, money, and an open adoption that will allow them to keep in touch with their children, they later realize that all the CPC folks ever wanted them to do was have the baby and get lost.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers are so damn infuriating.

Oh and by the way, U.S, don’t forget:
YOUR FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS PAY FOR THIS.$30 million tax dollars, actually!
So this is healthier than abortion, anti-choicers? #SMH
I like how Dubya presented his budget on a tablet 11 year ago and Paul Ryan is just waving a stack of papers around. What’s that saying about politics and driving? “D to go forward, R to go back”?

Also if we could pass a federal budget that includes banning use of that font, I’d appreciate it.

Enough ladies. I get it. You have periods.
Two and a Half Men co-creator Lee Aronsohn’s tells THR he doesn’t much care for lady-centric sitcoms. (via newsweek)
He applauded women like Whitney Cummings, Chelsea Handler and Tina Fey securing a voice to discuss formerly taboo subjects on TV.
“But we’re approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation,” he added.
The current female TV boom contrasts with Two and a Half Men mostly portraying women as bimbos, something Aronsohn isn’t about to apologize for.
“Screw it… We’re centering the show on two very damaged men. What makes men damaged? Sorry, it’s women. I never got my heart broken by a man,” Aronsohn earlier told the Toronto conference during a keynote address.
