No, THAT is very frightening!
Well, and the thought that not only did someone have sex with her, but actually married her as well!
YIKES!

A recent essay by Alison Piepmeier of the College of Charleston provides some of the best examples of the cruelty, heartlessness, and utter self-absorption embodied in the modern feminist movement. Aptly titled, “Choosing Us,” the essay shows that, for feminists, abortion is a device to prevent one thing: Feminist inconvenience.
Alison begins her abortion story by informing her readers that her unwanted pregnancy began with an “ecstatic, hushed fling on the cold tiles of the bathroom floor a few weeks earlier” while her brother and his girlfriend were in the other room. She had used contraception, but the contraception had failed. After crying for a few hours, she confessed that she made up her mind to abort fairly quickly: “…unlike those after-school special girls, who always decide to either keep the baby or give it up for adoption, I wanted an abortion.”
What is odd about her quick decision to abort is that she was no teenager. She was 31 years old when she got pregnant and was in a “stable relationship.” In fact, the man who got her pregnant was “Walter,” her husband of five years. She had kept several hundred dollars tucked away in case she ever needed to terminate an unplanned pregnancy - a habit she did not terminate even after years of marriage.

“ … (T)he story I most want to tell—and one I have never heard—is of abortion as an intimate part of a couple’s life together. Our abortion was a love story. I’d worried that Walter and I were rejecting a gift from the universe. What I discovered, though, was that when we stripped away the distractions of everyday life so that we could make this difficult decision together, it bound us together as surely as if our choice had been different—and as it turns out, that was the gift.I think I am going to be sick.
The state of the feminists today. Very frightening.
SUPERMARKET MORALITY
or
"If I don't like it, I can always take it back."
Abortion is not a matter of "reproductive rights" or "women's issues" or "constitutional safeguards". It is a matter of selves grown so introverted, of wills of either gender become so fixated on their own fulfillment that the biological, social, and moral consequences of their own actions are set upon by them as infringements on their belief that the vine of reality ought to grow exclusively up the trellis of their own will. It is a matter of selves under the delusion that they are most fully "human" when they are most fully freed from nature's and society's demand that they be either male or female, enjoy (or at least acknowledge) the difference, and accept the consequences.
For them reality therapy would be to throw everyone else onto the couch.
Too bizarre to be mistaken for anything else but the condition of a diseased spirit is the dichotomy of thought manifested in the appeal, on the one hand, to the poor, illiterate, unloved, socially-disadvantaged, abused and abusing bastard of incestuous rape who will only be an additional drain on an already overpopulated planet unless he/she/it should first agonizingly die from a genetic defect inherited from parents too selfish and insensitive toward it, toward themselves, and toward the welfare of society to prevent its suffering by means of a "therapeutic" abortion; and, on the other hand, to Noble Woman, guardian and embodiment of Constitutional virtue, struggling to protect herself from the advances of a rapacious, patriarchal religion and society, to cast off the biological shackles slapped on her by a cruel and unjust evolution.
It is a rationale designed to justify any choice and to silence any criticism. It is an awfully big gun to pull out for something they allege to be merely a medical decision between a woman and her physician. To remove or not to remove a wart is a decision on that level.
And here is where the slip shows--although they claim (or want to believe) that doing it is nothing, attempting to prevent, to limit, or even to talk first about their doing it is everything.
"Hey! Get the hell off of my will! Just who do you think you are to attempt to even think about imposing your morality on me? Besides, can't you see how much I'm suffering?" they say while imposing something far more severe than morality on those who literally depend on them for life.
To put it even more into perspective, imagine a bumper sticker reading: My fetus was chosen Unviable Tissue Mass of the Month at the Me-First Womyn's Health Center.
Even lab rats get more consideration.
Abortion is a denial. It is a denial of nature, of responsibility, of self-sacrifice, of love, and of life. And what is left? A will whose choices are unobstructed by any of the above.
"Well, that's done," they say, turning to pat and admire the shape of their uncoerced will. "Maybe I'll take this sweater back today, too."
Horrific, deranged... what a perfectly evil Lilith this monster is.
There are seriously disturbed people ministering to our children [director of Women’s and Gender Studies at The College of Charleston] .
Incredible....
If we discover a single unattached fossil of a cellular life form on Mars we will celebrate the triumph of life on a grand scale.
A few words come to mind: sociopathic, narcissistic, amoral, oh and liberal.

Only evil would twist the murder of an innocent soul into the bond’ or labor of love.
Filth.
How can anyone say it is not a person, just a mass of cells?

“abortion is a device to prevent one thing: Feminist inconvenience.”
Just as they say the crime of rape is more about power than sex, I think abortion is more about power than convenience, the premise being “if we can kill our own babies, we can do anything.” Feminists are like spoiled, indulged children who want to do cruel, bizarre things soley for the satisfaction that they can do them.
How could Walter have impregnated her? He clearly has no balls.
I see these people all the time. When I’m with one of my stepkids or grandkids, having fun, they are there, peering at us with a combination of resentment and self-pity. They flushed-away potential life-long joy because it was inconvenient and now they and their “partners” — if they even have a partner who can endure the steady sourness of feminism/liberalism — can only feel bitter and sorry for themselves. Welcome to Massachusetts, one of two states to lose population since 2004.
...and an employee of the State of South Carolina, given that she works at a state college...
hard hitting. thanks for posting.
