Abortion: still a dirty word

I chose life - mine.

Strikes me this captures a mindset that is becoming very familiar. In fact, I suspect it is now the dominant mindset among women of a certain age in California and New York.

""I love babies," I said, surprised at the simplicity of my statement. And then immediately, perfectly naturally, "I'm so glad I had all those abortions." "

It's all about HER isn't it.

Where's the barf alert??

The title of this might as well have been "Hi, I'm Julie Burchill, I have no conscience and am proud of it"

[madprof98]

"Barf" wasn't my first reaction. It was more like a combination of horror and sorrow.

[liberalism=failure]

Liberals will tell you all about how much they "care", they want (others people's) money for the poor, and all the rest

But when it comes down to actually behaving like decent human beings, well, that's not required, because being a liberal makes up for it.

I'd as soon weep over my taken tonsils or my absent appendix

I can't remember the last time I heard my tonsils or appendix say "Daddy I love you" but I can certainly remember my little boy saying it.

It seems they took out her conscience (that is if she ever had one) as well.

This woman is in denial, big time. One day she will be confronted with it and crumble.
Hope by then she will have someone by her side to comfort her: Jesus Christ.
But right now she is desperately trying to shake her fist at God
and claiming she doesn't need forgivenss and flaunts it.

[hillsborofox]

Chilling, and too common.

""I love babies," I said, surprised at the simplicity of my statement. And then immediately, perfectly naturally, "I'm so glad I had all those abortions."

Hasn't anyone ever told this PC moron about contraception, or better yet marraige... abstinance... that sort of thing~!

[sirchtruth]

I chose life - mine.

This whole cultural issue is over one thing and one thing only:

Selfishness.

Liberals are the most selfish, me, I, and mine, small minded collective cadre ever! A group which fights to be unresponsible and unaccountable for their actions.

Let see, isn't there another group we can equate them with that are likeminded, oh yes,

SPOILED CHILDREN!

[beckett]

Five abortions! She has no idea how repulsive she sounds to normal people, which is actually a good thing. It means that only very rare birds like this cruel and selfish woman can kill kids in the womb with equanimity. More and more women are beginning to recoil at such callousness, and quite rightly see her argument as the self-justifying rationalizations of a monster.

[yendu bwam]

not realising that they are adding to the illusion that abortion is a serious, murderous, life-changing act

I'm afraid that it is this woman who suffers from a terrible illusion - that there is no God, and that He is not concerned with the fate and potential of the miraculous life He brings forth from a woman's womb. She has pulled the veil of evil over her eyes, and in her total selfishness, even seeks to pull the veil over the eyes of others. As was said above, this is truly sad and tragic.

[fortress]

Well said!

[victim soul]

At least half of abortions are perforrmed on repeaters.

[okiedust]

What answer can anyone give to this ghoulish piece? Anyone who can say, "I love babies" and then say, "I'm glad I had five abortions" is dead. Life mocks her and she rages against it. It is sad that she denies the natural pain and sorrow of her choices as simply having too much time on her hands. Stay very busy dear, if its pain you want to run from. Pain does have very good staying power tho.

Agree. There's also a modicum of "gender war" solidarity to the baby-killing option. Women who wouldn't have an abortion themselves, see it as a zero-sum power game - "If we have a baby every time we're pregnant, men win - and no man's gonna tell ME what to do!"

[grundle]

a planet buckling under the strain of overpopulation

How typical of the radical left. Instead of blaming the world's major problems on totalitarian dictatorship governments that don't allow people to be free to do things that make the world a better place, she blames the world's problems on "overpopulation." People who blame the world's problems on "overpopulation" have a very deep hatred for the human race. This is further proven by the fact that she is proud of the fact that she has had five abortions.

Today, the world has more people than ever before, and today, the average person in the world has more calories of food, better access to clean water, more clothing, more square footage of housing, more access to health care, more access to education, more material possessions, and a longer life expectancy, than at any other time in the entire history of the human race. The writer of this article chooses to ignore the writings of people like Julian Simon, Stephen Moore, and Bjorn Lomborg.

The title of this might as well have been "Hi, I'm Julie Burchill, I have no conscience and am proud of it"

Right. This is a woman who said a while ago that she was pleased at how many young people were taking drugs and having abortions because it showed how much fun they are having.

The craziest part I saw was:

Me-Ism - psychiatry, psychoanalysis, any sort of navel-gazing - has to take part of the blame for the demonisation of abortion.

She thinks it is selfish not to kill babies?! There is no argument with irrational nonsense like that.

By the way, she isn't as stupid as she sounds. Liberals who write this way have a purpose in what they do. They want to normalise baby-killing, vile sexual perversions and all sorts of things in order to make them more acceptable. Every "rational" debate about legalising incest or gay marriage serves this purpose by removing the "yuck" factor from the very thought of it.
