Dear Liz,

I am not too savvy on social media, but I just want to say how much I am enjoying your posts(I think they are called?) but this one “chastising,”(enlightening) the Holy Father, took the cake. At the moment I am enjoying my granddaughter, my son’s old English bulldog, Ellie, beautiful to behold and gentle to the touch.

Best of luck,

Aylene

As a student loan debt-ridden millennial, I yeeted my biological clock right on out of me. It’s also funny that dudes thing sperm has an infinite shelf life. Science says it does not. Longer than ovum, yes. But spunk degrades with age too, yo.

My favorite frame of your piece: "use that powerful pulpit to fight for the kind of long overdue social reform that would prepare them for parenthood." This guy has a position of power and instead of using it for actual progress for actual people, he's wasting it on trying to shift blame and shame onto the people who don't deserve it, the wide swatch of traumatized people who just want to live their lives.

Thank you. I read an article about this lovely little speech of his and immediately took the Lord's name in vain. I especially enjoyed the part about pet owners being selfish by replacing children with dogs. Seriously?!
