Quote of the Day 5-6-10
And if the anti-choice forces succeed in getting a ban on abortion that will withstand the constitution, you can bet there will be a marked increase in abandoned babies, women of child bearing age dying from botched self-induced abortions and children suffering from child abuse/neglect because the parents (usually the mother since the father can just disappear) who never wanted them to begin with had no choice to abort and is now taking out her frustrations and anger on the child she never wanted.
~Alternet blog by rainbowlady, a self-described “ordained minister,” “astrologer,” “gay activist,” and “spiritual counselor” (who believes we’ll all get to the same place eventually), who is “married” to her “wife” and raising two sons from a previous marriage.
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
why is this a quote of the day? Pretty mainstream view of the pro-choicers.
Even pro choice ordained ministers could feel this way.
Golly gee, abortion is legal NOW and yet we have parents who hate their kids and abuse them, botched (legal and “safe”) abortion, and abandoned babies in toilets. Hmm. I thought abortion was supposed to solve all that!!
Guess that was just rhetoric.
And yet, child abuse sky rocketed after abortion was legalized and women who have abortions are far more likely to abuse their children than non-abortive women.
So abortion just provides women a legal outlet for their abusive and murderous behavior and without it, they’ll just have to do it the illegal way?
“had no choice to abort”???
Uh..yea…there’s another ‘choice’…
It’s called ADOPTION.
This woman is a real NUTJOB!
“a self-described “ordained minister,” “astrologer,” “gay activist,” and “spiritual counselor” (who believes we’ll all get to the same place eventually)”
Okay, this absolutely cracks up rational materialist in me.
Any atheist who could embrace the ramblings of such a fool should be ashamed.
Yes, I know it’s ad hominem, but come on, such a self description invites ridicule.
At least peddlers of orthodox religion have thousands of years of real social accomplishment standing behind their claims.
Sheesh.
“you can bet there will be a marked increase in abandoned babies, women of child bearing age dying from botched self-induced abortions and children suffering from child abuse/neglect because the parents (usually the mother since the father can just disappear) who never wanted them to begin with had no choice to abort and is now taking out her frustrations and anger on the child she never wanted.”
This really disgusts me.
Most women who have unplanned pregnancies are not monsters who would turn abusive. So, this really slanders virtually all women. It is society and the unsupportive partner and others around the woman who often push her to abortion. So more often than not, the woman would rather have love and support than an abortion. It is often not the choice she really wants. It is pushed on her.
hmmm….so if abortion is banned, it’s like, the end of the world?
Amen, Kelli.
I would observe that the quote attruibuted to ‘rainbowlady’ reveal, not only her own low opinion of women in general but her own ‘bargain basement, blue light special’ self hatred.
‘brainblownsadie’ plays to the misogynistic stereotype of the ‘dumb blonde’ who is as helpless as she is stupid, whose bra size exceeds her IQ, and her singular accomplishment is, with a little help, she can sit up.
Most women are far more self reliant and loving and fearsome to behold than she mistakenly believes.
One more graduate of ‘womens study’ courses who is educated way beyond her intelligence.
