Children’s Book about Abortion: My ‘Sister Is a Happy Ghost!’
Creative Minority Report ^ | March 26, 2015 | Matthew Archbold

This is disgusting. I've seen some pro-aborts become enamored with all sorts of pagan oddities such as reincarnation to justify their support of killing the unborn.

Thanks to Newsbusters for exposing this icky crazy story:

A three-year-old named Lee defends the abortion of his sister in a new children’s book – by an author with her own “ghost sister.”

“Sister Apple, Sister Pig” by Mary Walling Blackburn focuses on an adult topic: abortion. The story follows Lee as he (or “she,” as the author stressed) searches for his sister – who might be an apple, a pig, or somewhere in a tree. Lee later decides “Sister is a happy ghost!” and explicitly says he’s glad Sister isn’t around to inconvenience his parents.

The free e-book is available on art publishing platform e-flux, The Blaze reported. The author, Walling Blackburn, is assistant professor of art at Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts and founder of The Anhoek School.

“Lee is Papa and Mama’s only child for now, although there once was a sister,” the book began. “Where does Sister live now?”

At one point, Lee explained to his Papa, “Well, she used to live in Mama and doesn’t anymore.” After Papa agreed, Lee reiterated, “She lived before me, but Mama couldn’t keep her. Mama says she is a ghost.”

When Lee’s Papa asked, “[D]oes that make you sad or scared?” Lee changed his tune. “I’m not sad that my sister is a ghost! If you kept my sister, you would be tired, and sad, and mad!” When his father questioned why, Lee continued:

Because we would be wild and loud and sometimes we would fight. Mama might be scared that she could not buy enough food for us. Mama might not have enough time to read to me, to paint with me, to play with me, to talk with me….

Papa also noted “good reasons” Lee doesn’t have a sister “right here right now.” “Maybe you will have another sister when there is more time, and there is more money,” Papa said.

But even during story time, Lee couldn’t forget about his lost sibling. He whispered the “secret” to his uncle: “The secret is that she’s…she’s a ghost!” Lee – and his Uncle – pretend she’s still there. “The ghost girl can sit beside me,” his uncle offered.
This is a scary scary thing.

I am sure Momma will understand when the adult child has to help decide what to do with her in old age...when time and money are limited.

************************

When that happens, I suspect that despite this important lesson she taught her child, she will feel shocked and betrayed.

Thoroughly ghoulish. I sincerely hope they get what they deserve.

Amplification and Reduction. You’re right. Nothing like this would have happened in 1953, but other bad things were happening then. When we look at all the terrible things, we lose sight of all the good things. I know I’m guilty of it, but it just occurred to me. It probably occurred to me because the alternative is too hard to bear.

I would call it pure depravity....except that would adulterate the word ‘pure’. How about ‘utter depravity’?

Good point. Maybe we need to start reminding the pro-aborts about that.

This is awful. Absolutely horrible. Reading to a child is tantamount to child abuse!

The first draft was better:

“My mommy paid to have my sister’s arms torn off!”

Oh boy ... thanks for the research. Keywords are “activist & feminist”. It’s all downhill from there.

So, the ghouls really do know it is a person with a soul; and yet, they kill anyway.
