@rsreich27: Just to be clear, the Internet example was from an email regarding a much earlier post, not from the comments on this one — and I actually think it's kind of funny and ballsy. Read more

@believelikeblackcrow: Just to clarify, this is the only current photo of Loughner the AP is currently making available through their image service — that may be why so many outlets are using it. Read more

@_Elias_: Unfortunately it sounds more like you meant that upon looking in the mirror she realised that she was too ugly for any man to find her sexually attractive Read more

@lodown: Totally agree (as I said downthread) that the reproductive health of women of color, whether or not it relates to fertility, doesn't get talked about enough.

@kithkin: Thanks for the link, I updated the post. Read more

@skahammer: How many girls get abstinence only sex ed (or sex ed that largely focuses on abstinence at the expense of safer sex practices)? That would be a start. Read more

@snacktastic: It doesn't really matter if people develop tolerance or go through withdrawal. Read more

@SparklyTempest: Can you post a link to this info? Thanks! Read more

@KookyMonster: Thanks so much for pointing this out! Some of us (myself included at times) are far too quick to call "small sample size!" without fully understanding the stats behind what we're saying. Read more

@bluebears: Can you post a link to that info? I'm not seeing it in the Detroit News piece, unless I'm missing it. Read more
