Punk rock dad: My kids gave ME life

The classic parent attitude to a kid is “I brought you into this world, I gave you life.” But it’s like, I just think completely the opposite. My kids gave me life.
~ Bassist Flea from the punk band Red Hot Chili Peppers, as quoted on the trailer for The Other F Word, a new documentary about punk rock fathers, October 2

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.
LOL’d at the Barbie remark :D Love this!
Awesome. Love it!! :D Flea looks like he’s near tears saying that.
I have known more than one man whose entire perspective on life, love, and God changed when they had kids.
Sweet!! I love it!!
Sometimes ya gotta grow up. :)
Thanks for catching my oversight, Kel!
Thanks for catching my oversight, Kel!
?? What oversight?
It was me, YW… :) And while we’re at it, thanks to you and Kelli for finding such great QODs every week!
wonderful! fun, fun, fun. and this is what we all need to be reminded of! ;)
The members of this group are all very pro-abortion. Sad.
Ok, thank you, Jill, for catching the oversight!
I’m good at screwing up like that.
Philly:
I suppose even pro-choicers have moments of lucidity.
WOW this looks AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!!
The irony…
Flea supports Planned Parenthood! Thank you for proving that ProChoice parents DO love their children! :)
Was that what we were trying to prove?
I am sure parents that are proabortion love the children they allow to live.
My niece’s mother is a great parent and loves her daughter very much – and she is still pro-abortion.
To me, it makes no sense and makes me sick and sad. How can a loving parent support abortion? But in a society of death – people a very misguided.
It doesn’t mean that we hate those people or think any less of them. It just means we work hard to help them.
It is called cognitive dissonance. They detach themselves from the horror of their abortions. People involved in atrocities do that. The best example is a doctor from U-Mich hospital who committed late-term abortions while pregnant with her daughter, then wrote an article about it.
If they didn’t exercise cognitive dissonance, they would not be able to commit the atrocity.
Listen to the Women of Silent No More, the voices of women in Blood Money, the stories of post-abortive women praying at 40 Days for Life — sometimes, having a living child to hold is the first step toward realizing the depth of killing one. Sometimes, the realization is long-delayed.
A lot of post-abortive dads still support Planned Parenthood — the lie that contraception (handed out by Planned Parenthood) avoids abortions (sold by Planned Parenthood) still has a very strong grip on the world.
No cognitive dissonance Barb.
The doctor wanted a child so she chose to continue her pregnancy.
Other women didn’t want a child so she terminated their pregnancies for them.
Cognitive dissonance only would have occured if she had had a choice herself yet somehow prevented other women from having a choice.
Maybe they should rename the documentary “Tattoos and Toddlers”. Lots of body ink in those two minutes.
Cognitive dissonance only would have occured if she had had a choice herself yet somehow prevented other women from having a choice.
Right. That’s why she was crying while performing the abortion without even realizing consciously that she WAS crying until she felt the tears. Puh-leeze. That woman was the definition of the phrase.
carder-
I love ink. My dad has tats, my ex does, and so does my fiance. I <3 tattoos.
Got a link for that xalisae?
I’ve got a heart tattooed on my backside :-)
We were all wondering where it was. :)
Oh, there was absolutely cognitive dissonance. It takes an inordinate amount of effort to steel yourself against the gruesome nature of abortion when you know exactly what it is. I cannot imagine living in that hell. It’s one thing to be ignorant, to claim “it’s not a baby” and shout about “rights”….but to perform them……to cut these children up, to place them in a tray, to crush their little heads, and throw them away like garbage….that takes a monster.
Anyway, I like the Flea quote. The entertainment industry is hopelessly contradictory, and often wrong about many things, but there is goodness and beauty in his quote, and that is just lovely.
Not Xalisae, but most of us are familar with the abortionist’s story of dismembering a child in utero the same age as hers from Jill’s October 6, ’09 post. It’s been scrubbed from abortioneers (why?). Stand to Reason had a cached page, at this link you can read what we’re talking about:

Flea can play a mean bass.
But really, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are alternative rock or funk rock, not “punk rock.”
Excerpt:
[Abortionist Lisa] Harris describes her own experience when aborting an 18-week-old fetus while she was also 18 weeks pregnant:
Cognitive Dissonance.
Tearing a leg completely off of a fully alive 18 week old baby with forceps while feeling her own 18 week old baby kick her for the first time.
Cognitive Dissonance.
Another example of cognitive dissonance, (from STR) as this was quickly buried by AnonL (Lisa?)’s posts in rapid sucession on the Maddow thread:
[Abortionist Lisa Harris] also fully recognizes the strangely contradictory approaches doctors take toward fetuses of the exact same age:
I know that abortion advocates do not like facts from “anti-choice” sites so here is the cite from the original article that Dr. Harris wrote for Reproductive Health.
And I’ve never felt comfortable with U-Mich doctors since I read that article. They seem creepy.

I found it at http://www.rhm-elsevier.com
I will never understand abortion advocates.
Thanks, klynn73.
What now, Reality?
But really, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are alternative rock or funk rock, not “punk rock.”
Yeah, they’re definitely not what I think of as “punk rock.” Not thrashy or screamy enough. In fact, no screaming that I’ve heard! :D
That’s a good one Hans :-)
“I consider declining a woman’s request for abortion also to be an act of unspeakable violence.”
“allows us to simultaneously acknowledge the value of early human life and be woman-centred, an ideal position for a second trimester provider.”
“women have all sorts of compelling and legitimate reasons for choosing abortion”
“the anti-abortion discourse and imagery that may actually be more closely aligned to our experience but is based in values we do not share.”
“Essays like this bring the inevitable risk that comments will be misinterpreted, taken out of context and used as evidence for further abortion practice restrictions,”
“facing abortion with “honesty” can ”be the basis for a stronger movement – one that makes it easier for providers and the teams they work with to do all abortions, especially second trimester abortions.”
Yep, cognitive dissonance. Especially when she has to coach her team on “values clarification” and “on-going team-building around some of the more difficult aspects”.
You pro-aborts are cruel – putting these doctors and nurses through all this. Shame.
Come on – lets face abortion with honesty. Let’s see if it strengthens your movement like it has strengthened ours.
And to suggest that refusing a woman an abortion is an act of violence worse than the violence of dismembering a defenseless human fetus (aka child in the womb) is beyond incredible.
My unpublished article on this:

Where did you get your psychiatry degree from Barb? Who else do you have the knowledge to diagnose?
What about those who ‘flick the switch’ in execution chambers, do they suffer cognitive dissonance too?
Why do you think your article is unpublished?
Reality,
That a good one Hans. :)
Oh! Tattoo. Never mind. ;)
