Are waldman and Saletan fathers? Someone ask which of their kids they would have been willingcto sell for $1000?
Motherhood is a huge deal. Women have abortions because they know what a big deal it is. It's illogical that the same women would become mothers and give their babies away. These two men need to learn what motherhood is.

Let's not forget the barely conscious drunk girlfriend the Jake Ryan character send off to be raped by the Geek in Sixteen Candles. I believe he says "be my guest".
I had unkind thoughts about parents of screaming kids until I became a mother. Now I know. My daughter is 10, but I remember how hard it was. The last thing parents of a screaming toddler need is a hard time. Either act supportive or ignore them and remember that however hard it is to spend a little while hearing the kid scream, it's a thousand times harder for them.
Any adult person who is unkind to some poor mom struggling to placate a two year old flunks the litmus test for decent personhood.
The above letter is correct. Sadly, the victim is asking for the wrong people to end this. it's not about the underlying conviction anymore, it's about a bail jumper who refused to serve his sentence. It must seem like that to her, obviously. She wants it all to stop. One person can make it stop, could have made it stop all along. Courts can't decide to let rich fugitive convicted rapists who have failed to appear for sentencing off the hook if they have made life sufficiently hellish for their victims. I want Polanski to be honorable for once and end this, so maybe this poor woman will stop asking the authorities for what only he can give.
