Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers

I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so. 

fanfic recommendation for someone who never read a fanfic?

Hi! Ok that’s a cool challenge. Please keep in mind that I’m leaving a lot of great fics out, some because it’s humanly impossible to remember everything and others because I refuse to make a list the size of the bible. Anyway, I hope you like my suggestions ^-^

If you don’t mind a bit of sexy times:

more women than warriors (modern au) by steklir is possibly my favourite fic of all time

in love and war and politics (modern au) by centuriesofexistence is hands down one of the best Clexa fics there is

what heart’s ease must queens neglect (modern royalty au) by thrace is just absolutely brilliant

blood rush in he hazy glow (modern au) by firetestsgold will always be a favourite of mine
