"Hi, I'm Dr. Hayley". I froze like a dork, followed by, "I'm sorry, I'm a little star-struck right now." Thank you, Dr. Hayley, you took great care of my lil big kid, Bailey. @wick_22

@DrAhmednurAli I woke up and now scared to think it could happen to us.

Canadians shouldn’t feel smug, as if a victory fueled by fear and division can’t happen here.

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar A sad day today, but I'm truly thankful I'm a Canadian right now.

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's @TorontoStar

@1capplegate Come to Canada! We welcome all. Sending you all hugs this morning. It's a sad day.

Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done. Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years because this is sick

@TheoMoudakis It's so empowering to walk away from the idiot comments. Idiots gonna be idiots.

Important announcement: I'm retiring!! ... from reading and responding to all the nutwad comments. My notification Quality Filter is now always on, so the whiny crybabies don't get through anymore. I should've done this ages ago 😊

@DeMar_DeRozan Sending you the biggest hug and a "I understand".

I was dying inside, dealing with depression really lying to myself…

This was left on my doorstep. I’m gonna raise him as my own.

@TheRyanHamilton I am so sorry you and, especially Jess, went through this. Having had a miscarriage and experienced the trauma of a DnC, I'm in tears for Jess. She SHOULD have been priority number 1...she SHOULD have been saved by the horror she experienced. 😥

My heart is broken💔: As friends & family know, my wife was pregnant with our 2nd child, & about to begin her 2nd trimester. A few days ago she had severe pains, & bleeding, and had to go to the emergency room. There, it was discovered that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Devastated doesn't come close to what that feels like. Unfortunately for people like us, because of the current laws in the state of Texas, that was only the beginning of this nightmare. Jess (my wife) had an "incomplete miscarriage", and what needed to happen, what was best for HER, and her health, was to terminate the pregnancy, and get the baby out. The doctor gave her a medication that would move this process along, and sent her home. Where, apparently we would be handling it ourselves. We were told it might take a couple of attempts before it worked. I'll let you decide how you feel about that. After a long, painful night of the equivalent of early labor, the baby was still with her. So, we went back to the Emergency Center to get the 2nd dose. A new doctor was on call. He was an older man. You could hear him in the hallway as he said, "I'm not giving her a pill so she can go home and have an ab*rtion!". Being well aware that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Then, he came into the room to say, and I quote: "Considering the current stance. I'm not going to prescribe you this pill". Then, just sent us on our way. The "CURRENT STANCE"?! Did he really just say that?! No one should ever have to hear their wife say: "Get this dead baby out of me!". Can you even imagine how that must feel? The pain, and the bleeding continued. So, we decided to go to another hospital, about an hour away. There was a female doctor on call there, and we thought we might have better luck. I should probably mention, the procedure to get the baby out is called a D & C. It's scary, & traumatizing, but sometimes necessary in situations like ours. Especially in emergency circumstances. So we get to the next hospital. They take Jess in, ask her a bunch of questions, do a new scan... confirm that the baby is still there, with no heartbeat, and then disappear... for hours. Only to come back in and keep asking the same questions over and over. It's becoming clear that they're primary concern is NOT my wife's health. Instead, they seem to be worried about the legalities involved. So, they decide it is not "enough of an emergency" to perform the D & C. They do, however, prescribe another, stronger, final dose of the medication for us to try again... at home. So, we go home to try again. Another long day/night of early labor pains. Only to discover my wife UNCONSCIOUS in the bathroom. Having to pick my wife's cold, limp body off of that bathroom floor, not sure if I was about to lose her, is something I will NEVER forget. She had to be rushed to the hospital. By this point she had lost so much blood, and bodily fluid, her body gave out. They were able to stabilize her, give her the fluids she needed, and we came back home yesterday afternoon. We were also able to confirm that our baby was no longer with her. Now, not only do we have to live with the loss of our baby... we have to live with the nightmare of what we just experienced because of political and religious beliefs. MY WIFE'S HEALTH SHOULD HAVE COME FIRST. PERIOD! God knows what mental and emotional damage this has done. If you consider yourself a staunch "pro-lifer" ... 1) You've never been through what we just went through, and 2) You should take a long, hard look in the mirror and reevaluate your reasons for supporting such a cold, barbaric, ignorant point of view. It's not that black & white, and it's never going to be. If you think your "Pray To End Ab*rtion" sign in your yard is "Christian", I suggest you revisit the teachings of Jesus and try again. If you support these laws that make ab*rtion illegal, and result in people being put through what we just were, you should be ashamed of yourself. I've never been so angry, or heartbroken... and the devastation I'm feeling must pale in comparison to what my poor wife is feeling.

@woomfnpig24 100%, you're in the right.

@maxdomi Fuck ya!

Leafs Nation… I have a PSA. ✍️

@jverona77 Stumpy

@thebreannabrown Funny, it was my husband who was bothered by this actually quicker than I was...I got a good one over here.

No cheating - 1st Album you ever bought with your own money? Mine was “Stranded” by Roxy Music from Quicksilver Records in Reading. I was 13. I’d saved up and I remember being on the bus on the way into town clutching my 3 quid 😂

@Sflecce @fordnation

I am honoured to be appointed as the new Minister of Energy and Electrification. I will remain squarely focused on growing Ontario's clean, affordable and reliable energy supply to drive economic growth while standing strong against the Liberal carbon tax. I congratulate the new Minister of Education, @ToddSmithPC, and I thank Premier @fordnation for his confidence. It has been an honour of a lifetime to serve in the Ministry of Education because we did the hard things that will have generational impacts for kids. Thank you, to my family and my team, for believing in me. And, thank you to families in King-Vaughan for supporting me through this journey.

@ChiTownSam723 Punch Buggy was alive and well in Canada. Rules were in or out of the car. Watch out!

@eilsg @74frankfurt Ohhh, I don't think he has.

@74frankfurt @buddynpal has Colin got this one?

@PlainSJ Nice!!!!!

@Jeopardamy Was cheering you on the entire time!!! So proud of you Amy.

But Victoria had beaten me fair and square in this one. If she kept up that level of play, it was going to be awfully hard to keep her from winning the championship in the next game. But I certainly planned to try!

@JenniferToner5 Nice game to be at!!!!
