Kurt Metzger makes an interesting, (albeit in the most asshole-ish way) of pointing out that hey, if this guy you banned IS a rapist, let the police know. You're passively condoning/ allowing more rape, if this guy is a rapist. On the other hand, rape is disturbing and personal and maybe the victim(s) have suffered enough and just want this guy removed from the community.

The same people who probably loved her show. The ones who hailed her for being a feminist AND a comedian. Are now calling on her to choose. It's one or the other. I don't think it works like that.

Comedy is fun. Comedy is a laugh. But comedy can also be vicious. If ruthlessly going after a point that you don't agree with.

Citing Catholic Rules, Doctor Turns Away Bleeding Woman With Dislodged IUD

Quote:

Jones, on the advice of a friend, contacted the ACLU of Illinois. Attorneys there advised Jones to call her insurance company and demand they expedite her network change. After five hours of phone calls, Jones was able to see a doctor who removed her IUD, five days after her initial appointment and almost two weeks after she fell in the bathroom.

Before the IUD was removed, Jones suffered from cramps she compared to those she felt after the IUD was first placed, severe enough that she medicated herself to cope with the pain.
