Lena Dunham: “I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had”
Hotair ^ | December 20, 2016 | Allahpundit

Via the Blaze, a clip that raises an important question: Can one be properly “woke” without having killed a baby?

Skip to 13:30 below. Someone whose cultural cachet doesn’t depend on being a young feminist and provocateur would have turned this into a more thoughtful bit of commentary. She’s a loud and proud abortion warrior, she says, but she’s uncomfortable (or used to be uncomfortable) with people thinking that she might have had an abortion herself. How come? Had she unconsciously adopted an unjust social stigma against abortion, as she assumes, or was she experiencing a moral intuition about abortion writ large at the thought of killing her own child? If we’re going with the stigma theory, are there any stigmas within her own in-groups that might encourage a woman to champion abortion even if she’s reluctant to do so? If so, how does that square with “choice” as the supreme virtue? Lots of fodder here for a challenging meditation on this subject. Instead she reacted in the most grotesque (yet provocative, of course) way: She wishes she had killed a baby of her own so that she wouldn’t feel the tug of that damnable stigma. It’s a perfect expression of pro-choice politics, treating a defenseless life as an instrument to express the depth of your allegiance to the tribe. There’s so much Social Progress that could be made if not for our atavistic squeamishness about blood.

No self-respecting turkey baster would ever go there in the first place

She would have to find somebody willing to do the deed without barfing first. I think even a turkey baster would go flacid when subjected to that toxic waste dump

LOL! Uh, yeah. Psychotic dems/libs/progs/al-left/radical/extremists thrive on broken promises. As much as the US must suck to them, they know it’s a lot better than anything else they might go to. Wouldn’t be as pampered.

She’s just trolling now. Saying the most over the top things she can think of merely to generate controversy and publicity.

” It’s a perfect expression of pro-choice politics, treating a defenseless life as an instrument to express the depth of your allegiance to the tribe. “

But when “pro choice” politics means “choosing” the child's life over abortion, the same pro choice idiots go apoplectic. I found that when I use the “I am pro choice and I choose life, what do you choose?” argument against the left, they can no longer support their argument and fall back to “you are a racist.”

Try it sometime. The retorts from the left are precious.

Lena - you have to find a man first that's willing to sleep with you ( without birth control) you don't just get pregnant like catching a cold or something - a man first needs to WANT to be with you and that's probably not likely

This is somewhat similar to saying I haven’t had a DUI in which I killed a toddler in the crosswalk but I wish I had.
