I mean, at least you brought out a bunch of gross men to talk about how this affects THEM and what THEY want from women for all the world to see.

So you couldn't have just like, asked one of us who has them what it's like? Or a brace of us? This really seems like a blog entry when it could have been an actual article.

I also just want to point out that because I have a vagina a HUGE part of my healthcare is ALWAYS seemingly on the chopping block, a huge part of my healthcare that, BY THE WAY, my grandma and my mom fought and voted REALLY HARD to even get for me at all. So while I'm glad for the minor victory of at least making sure everyone gets BC if they want it, I am not giving any props to supporting the idea that the care of my vagina is SEPARATE from the rest of my physical care, or that religious people should have the right to deny ANYONE full care of their WHOLE body just because they believe in some imaginary super being.

Your opinion is informed by your sex and the privilege that comes with it. Does ANY PART of your male specific healthcare get discussed and threatened regularly in the news, have policies made about it, or get publicly denied on a regular basis? Do you listen to prominent public figures that don't even HAVE penises OR MD PHDS discuss what you can and can't do to take care of your penis regardless of what your doctor and you decide?
The entire conversation is so wholly inappropriate. You should be offended WITH me, not against me. Why are we even still talking about this? There are drones killing babies, our president has a foreign policy that the far right L O V E S....why aren't we telling them to give everyone healthcare, fund it, let drs and patients make their medical decisions privately and move the fuck on so we can give some deserved time to something besides whether or not some religious BUSINESSS can or can't opt out of the cost of basic healthcare specifically for my lady business because the answer should be NO, separate your business from your religion, consider my lady business officially moved to "ALSO MY OWN PRIVATE GENERAL HEALTHCARE" not some sub-genre, or lose your tax breaks.
The answer should be: YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR EMPLOYEES HEALTHCARE REGARDLESS OF AGE, GENDER, RACE, ORIENTATION BECAUSE I SAID SO. SO STFU and GTFO so the adults can start talking about something that isn't as obvious.

The important thing to remember about this is that it's Seattle, where dogs outnumber children, where a man can beat his gf and no one will come stop it but one sharp cry from a puppy and you have 8 condo people there in a heartbeat calling the cops. People's problems are too personal, too difficult to fix long term - helping dogs on the other hand = totally manageable, it's a low emotion/time investment and, hey dogs are SUPPOSED to be dependent. Much lower than giving 4k to help a person, a person that isn't supposed to need help...because they are a person...that is supposed to be completely independent.

I guess their intentions may have been good, but the people that set this up clearly have NO CLUE what is going on in the wallets of parents in this neighborhood.
$12/pp for an hour - so,what? this was a non-profit rink they set up for the Sinks and Dinks?

Most of this blog entry could be filed under "growing up female" as far as I'm concerned.

Great article. Heartbreaking.
This country needs a free health system where everyone can get the physical and mental care they need. The instances of known unstable and violent people being let out onto the street to predictably rape and or murder someone have become almost a regular theme in this town in recent years. This person should not have been on the street.
