Jivin J’s Life Links 9-22-11
by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat
- The Shelby County Commission in Tennessee has voted 6-4 to defer the decision to defund Planned Parenthood. Basically, the Democrats on the commission want to give Planned Parenthood funding despite Christ Community Health Center scoring higher on a checklist of service-related criteria.
- Gender Across Borders has a series entitled “Tsk Tsk: Stigma, Shame, and Sexuality Series” in which a variety of writers discuss various feminist issues. The couple of posts I read had the following interesting quotes:
Lindsay Smith, in “Oh, the Things These Socks Have Seen,” discusses the reactions of her pro-choice friends to her having a second trimester abortion which was also her second abortion:
I have also been met with admonition upon disclosing that I was in my second trimester when I decided to have my second procedure. It’s dismaying to learn that some of the most “dedicated” pro-choice supporters still subscribe to the idea that more than one abortion is irresponsible and that anything later than 6 weeks is cruel.
- Paige Johnson, Vice President for Public Policy at Planned Parenthood Central North Carolina (pictured left with PP president Cecile Richards), in “Abortion, Small Towns, and Young Lives”, describes abortion by saying:
- Robin Marty may have not fully comprehended this quote from an article she linked to about a mother with two uteruses:
The biology is routine: Egg plus sperm equals baby.
Whoops. You don’t want that kind of biology info on the RH Reality Check web site, do ya?
- Police in Spokane have served a warrant to Planned Parenthood for the remains of an unborn child aborted at their facility:
Police records say a 15-year-old girl became pregnant by a 21-year-old man in early August.
When her parents learned about the pregnancy from her school at the end of that month they took the teenager to Planned Parenthood….
According to detectives, if they pull the DNA they can match it to prove paternity, and prove the allegation of third degree rape of a child.
DNA testing can take several weeks and will likely be done with the help of the medical examiners office and the Washington State Crime Lab.
It’s unclear who initially reported the alleged rape, but both schools and Planned Parenthood have to follow reporting laws.
$5 dollars says it wasn’t PP who reported the alleged rape.
Abortion is a life-giving, life-saving, dream-granting, mistake-forgiving medical procedure. No one likes being told what they should be grateful for but I don’t know anything more life-changing or central as the right to decide when to have a child.

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.
Only five bucks, Jivin’ J? I’d raise it to $20, at least. You PP supporters can make your donations here :-)
P.S.– Anyone who sees abortion as “life-giving” is just plain deranged, no two ways about it.
I don’t know anything more life-changing or central as the right to decide when to have a child.
Absolutely, and all women have that right prior to their decision to have sexual intercourse. Once the consequences of your actions manifest in the form of a new human being, however, the choice has already been made and you need to accept those consequences responsibly by not murdering an innocent human being (the result of your choice).
How selfish! This woman in the “socks” story got pregnant on purpose then decided “Eh, I’ve changed my mind.” and aborted her second trimester baby. I shudder to think of the horror and pain that child felt. What about “All women take their abortion decisions so so so seriously.” Doesn’t seem like it in this case. She treated this child like a sweater she bought and then changed her mind about when she got home. SICK!
And the fact that she kept her socks from the clinic after her first abortion also says a lot. No matter how she cheers herself on and justifies her abortions the fact that she kept those socks says to me she is desperately trying to hold onto the last link to her first aborted child. I also got socks when I delivered my son in the hospital. I did not keep them. I remember thinking “Ew, yuck. These have been in a hospital.” and throwing them out when I got home. But then again, my arms were full of a cuddly newborn boy. I didn’t need socks to link myself to him.
When are women going to stop pretending that they did something great and noble when they aborted? She had abortions because she was selfish and now she lies and tries to lead more women down the same path of destruction. UGH!
I agree with everything SydneyM said in the above post. How totally pathetic that the stupid SOCKS she wore while killing her child are kept as a momento of the selfish choice she made. What’s she going to do, pass them on to a child she actually allows to LIVE at some point in the future? “Here sweetie pie. These are all that’s left of the day I aborted what WOULD HAVE BEEN your older brother/sister…but I had him/her killed before birth. I was wearing these cute little socks when I did it. Take good care of them, OK ?”
I hope she’s enjoying her big beautiful 4 bedroom house. What a sick trade-off.

This woman – along with Gloria Steinem and many others, are completely delusional. Somehow I get the impression that Paige is not present during the procedures, nor is she available when one of PP’s patients realizes what she has done. The suffering women of China are beginning to realize the evil of abortion, and they might have a word or two for Paige.
Remember Adam and Eve had a “choice” when it came down to the knowledge of good and evil.
Now we know what evil is…
The only “good” thing I can take out of the socks story is that even her pro-choice friends were rather shocked/disgusted with her behavior. People like Lindsay probably do more to help the pro-life cause than they realize.
GOD is life-giving. GOD is life-saving. GOD is dream-granting. GOD is mistake-forgiving.
GOD is life-giving. GOD is life-saving. GOD is dream-granting. GOD is mistake-forgiving.
“Socks” is both a liar and a murderer. Telling people you’ve had a miscarriage after being publicly pro-abortion is a cowardly and dishonest thing, and made worse by soaking up the sympathy for a while only now to go public with the fact that you killed your on-purpose-conceived child! Wow, people who know “Socks” must feel so very warm and fuzzy toward her now.
And are we to even believe her account of a friend who ‘smiles and winks’? She tells her friends, family, and coworkers that her murdered baby was accidently miscarried. Real credible, sure, I’d believe anything Socks writes, wouldn’t you? Enjoy your little career, Socks, but I advise you to stick to fiction.
What those socks have NOT seen: wisdom and good judgement.
What’s wrong with socks having been in a hospital, Sydney? :P Clothes get washed, right? I bet they were crummy uncomfy socks if they were free from a hospital but I am like the Bermuda Triangle for socks, so I never turn down a pair.
“Socks” is not just a liar and a murderer, she sounds pretty stupid, too. What made her think she would have to give up her job just to have a baby? That’s what maternity leave is for, you idiot.
I also found this at the same blog as “Socks”. So much for abortion as “tragic but necessary”. If you can abort your own child and not “feel” anything, remorselessly murdering another human being, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. GET HELP.
Yes, there is something wrong with her. A certain percentage of people are mentally ill. We have laws to protect the innocent from them. Unfortunately the current fad is to abandon the innocent and normalize mental illness while at once treating normal behaviors as mental illness.
I kept my socks from my hospitalizations after my suicide attempts as a stark reminder of what would occur if I went that route again, but that aside I didn’t have a decent pair of warm booties at home for winter either.
*”but that aside I kept them because I didn’t have a decent pair of warm booties or slippers at home for the winter, odd I know. And now that I think about it, my first suicide attempt was on January 22nd, the 33rd anniversary of Roe . Wade, although I don’t think I was aware at the time.
“Socks” has removed the comments that were critical of her “choice”. LOL.
Rachael–a little off topic, but I sure wish you would tell us more about your story. I am thinking of you this afternoon–
Courtnay,
Thank you. I appreciate your interest and thoughtfulness. I’m currently on the road with my husband on our way home from a family vacation & work double shifts this weekend, so I’ll try to post more of my story in the next few days.
Clarice: I also found this at the same blog as “Socks”. So much for abortion as “tragic but necessary”.
Not everybody sees things the same way you do. Not everybody says that abortion is “tragic.”
Alexandra: What’s wrong with socks having been in a hospital, Sydney?
I got some socks from a hospital, once. They had raised letters in them. I put those socks on and the next thing I knew a nurse was looking at me like I had two heads. Guess you were supposed to put the socks on with the letters being on the bottom, where they would contact the floor, to give you better traction. Thing is – that prevents you from being able to slide around, do the ‘Moonwalk,” etc.
