Question: I am pro choice but only up to the end of the 2nd trimester. I think after that, it's getting to gray territory that I can't support. My friends say this a really anti feminist view. What am I doing wrong?

It’s not that you’re doing anything wrong. As long as this is a personal choice that you’re not imposing on someone else, then there’s nothing wrong with your viewpoint. However, if you’re intention is to prevent other women from deciding how to govern their body, that would be problematic.

Only about 1.3% percent of abortions are past 21 weeks, which is towards the end of the 2nd trimester. In that 1.3%, most are for medical reasons. Banning later abortions only serves to limit women who may need it for medical reasons

Agree with the above but to add - Third trimester starts at 27/28 weeks- so it’s hard to judge how many of that 1.3% are still within 2nd trimester.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with opposing abortion after the second trimester, everyone has a certain point where the unborn child goes from a “thing” to a human, and thus abortion goes from a medical issue to a murder.

The question is where you stand on the spectrum between the day the egg is fertilized to the day the baby is birthed. There’s nothing problematic with telling people you can’t kill a baby the day before it would naturally be born because that’s murder.

Exactly it’s not really your biz if someone else decides to get an abortion. You only need to be concerned about yourself

funny

Because what is easier to publicly see is that a normal baby is getting to the point of viability if born. What not everyone sees is why a lot of late term abortions are chosen: serious medical issues for the mom or largely a condition with the baby that is incompatible with life (potters syndrome or the like) and not diagnosable until the 20 week scan

Anti feminist. You’re on the right side.

This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor. Whenever I would do a solid job, he would always down play it or give the mid-level mgr credit even though other people / management acknowledged it. But we still got along. When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
