I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

You can sue anyone for almost anything, and some plantiffs' attorneys (pas moi, btw) will file a case that they have small chance of winning at trial in the hopes of a settlement since the costs of trial are so high.  This seems to be that type of case.  Sorry to see attorneys abusing the system.

On DCIS, I understood when I got my BMX that I had a 1-2 percent chance of recurrence, which means it happens to someone.  Sorry it happened to your SIL, YarmAl,  but at least it's still DCIS.  

 Had my interview today.  Was told my name would be going on to the office manager, which is good, but that there's another 3-4 candidates for the same spot - less good.   Keeping fingers crossed.

Gutters fixed today.  Hope that resolves the water in the basement problem.  

Kam, that is terrible! I've had to flee tornadoes before but fire is really terrifying.

Btw, does anybody know what a "legitimate rape" is?  

yorkiemom...I guess I mistakenly believed that rape was, by definition, lacking legitimacy...  The world is becoming a very scary place.  It seems both women and science have suffered incredible defeats...

Sandy and CLC, no matter how one tries to parse that word "legitimate" it turns into a s^*t sandwich. What a dangerous ignoramous the coiner of that phrase is.

Yes, that scientific knowledge is stunning.

Color me so surprised - NOT. What we're witnessing this election cycle is the War on Women, Part II.

Yorkie, no obviously not meant that way. I should have said "passive" perhaps? I think it is important for kids and people in general to learn that they can act even if something unfortunate happens. In the BC that would be taking charge of your treatment, for example, advocating for yourself, exercising to lessen the impact of treatment and other stuff like that.

chickadee - of course, "she deserves it" cuz she didn't "secrete" the "right juices" - now he's "apologizing" - how does one apologize for being as someone might say an "idjut."

Momine:  you must not have caught the news.  Claude Aikins, who is running for Senate in MO, stated in an interview yesterday that he'd learned from several doctors that in the case of a "legitimate" rape, a woman's body would somehow shut down and not allow her to become pregnant - and that's why abortion is not needed for rape victims.   It's been hot and heavy on the news.

I have been in my grandpa's provincial home town all day, so I did miss it. Arghhh! That is very nifty, btw, because that way, if she gets knocked up she obviously wanted it and it was not a real, i.e. legitimate, rape.

Does this mean we could have rejected our BC from growing inside of us too?  The profundity of insanity (I heard Liz Winsted saying this today...kind of like it) is being exposed.

I think the magic only works during a legitimate rape.  So if you're legimately raped at the exact time that BC is developing.....

I wonder if the body recognizes age of consent?  Will it shut down and refuse to get pregnant if the girl is underage?  Or is statutory rape simply illegitimate?

What if it was his daughter?  Would he see it the same way?  Or would he sue on terms of statutory rape?

I can't believe what comes out of some people's mouths.
