I saw him zero on Friday, when I spent the day in repro sessions, and then on Saturday I went to fertility sessions and he was in every single one. People are allowed to have research niches, but if your niche is fertility and you don't engage with *any* other aspect of reproduction... I'm judging

He doesn't even go here!! (and by "here" I mean any session about abortion, family planning, reproductive justice, etc.)

"I can't win with the age-structure argument [correct] so I'll just... lie about the extent of unrealized desired fertility"???

I did my best with "what's the tallest thing in the world? Why isn't there a tower taller than Mount Everest? Isn't the sun taller?" but had to tap out when he segued from "what if there was a planet as small as a molecule and a human squished it?" to "what's more popular, red grapes or green?"

Feeling extremely self-conscious as I hadn't even said anything yet (and Russian public opinion was, then as now, pretty anti-US), I responded, "But how did you know?!" She just glared at me and said, "The potato. The potato variety is 'Amerikanka.'"

Overall it would just be great if all abortion-related news media were produced with the idea in mind that the person reading it might someday need an abortion

💯 Readers don't know how much the all-tri landscape has improved, and it feels like the articles focused on Hern are really painting a picture of an earlier era

At least Ezra walked into the kitchen and said "Wow Mommy, great key! It looks nothing like what I imagined but it still looks like a key!"

Making challah into non-loaf shapes is such a scam (this is supposed to be a key)

Here's another, which covers all reproductive ages but touches on teens www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sure. Here's a good study that documents increases in teen LARC use and no decrease in reported sexual experience for girls (though there was a decrease for younger teen boys). Now you post a source for yours. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
