This is disgusting. I've seen some pro-aborts become enamored with all sorts of pagan oddities such as reincarnation to justify their support of killing the unborn.
Thanks to Newsbusters for exposing this icky crazy story:
A three-year-old named Lee defends the abortion of his sister in a new children’s book – by an author with her own “ghost sister.”This is a scary scary thing.
“Sister Apple, Sister Pig” by Mary Walling Blackburn focuses on an adult topic: abortion. The story follows Lee as he (or “she,” as the author stressed) searches for his sister – who might be an apple, a pig, or somewhere in a tree. Lee later decides “Sister is a happy ghost!” and explicitly says he’s glad Sister isn’t around to inconvenience his parents.
The free e-book is available on art publishing platform e-flux, The Blaze reported. The author, Walling Blackburn, is assistant professor of art at Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts and founder of The Anhoek School.
“Lee is Papa and Mama’s only child for now, although there once was a sister,” the book began. “Where does Sister live now?”
At one point, Lee explained to his Papa, “Well, she used to live in Mama and doesn’t anymore.” After Papa agreed, Lee reiterated, “She lived before me, but Mama couldn’t keep her. Mama says she is a ghost.”
When Lee’s Papa asked, “[D]oes that make you sad or scared?” Lee changed his tune. “I’m not sad that my sister is a ghost! If you kept my sister, you would be tired, and sad, and mad!” When his father questioned why, Lee continued:
Because we would be wild and loud and sometimes we would fight. Mama might be scared that she could not buy enough food for us. Mama might not have enough time to read to me, to paint with me, to play with me, to talk with me….
Papa also noted “good reasons” Lee doesn’t have a sister “right here right now.” “Maybe you will have another sister when there is more time, and there is more money,” Papa said.
But even during story time, Lee couldn’t forget about his lost sibling. He whispered the “secret” to his uncle: “The secret is that she’s…she’s a ghost!” Lee – and his Uncle – pretend she’s still there. “The ghost girl can sit beside me,” his uncle offered.
Society spiraling out of control, ping!
Maybe you will have another sister when there is more time, and there is more money,
Charming.
We, as a society and culture, are going down.
Words fail
I can find no good analogy for that tale of stupid.
I’d probably be happy too. Happy to get away from my murderers.
Messed up in the head
From the SMU page about this woman,
“Assistant Professor of Art
Artist, activist, teacher, writer, feminist, Mary Walling Blackburn was born in California. She works and lives between Dallas and New York City. An Art Matters grant has provided her support to examine extraterrestrials as both expatriate and vehicle for rethinking the terms of the Other;...”
Nice lessons.
I am sure Momma will understand when the adult child has to help decide what to do with her in old age...when time and money are limited.
Boy, I always wanted a toddler/ child to read about abortion, what’s next in toddler/youth books - beheadings or mass murders?
I am near 60 have about 3-4 more years of work, I want to sit on the porch and listen to baseball games. I feel really bad for my children, the country and the world they will inherit is not imaginable.
Explain how his mommy had his sister killed because she didn’t want her. Hopefully one day mommy doesn’t decide she doesn’t want you, either.
I guarantee the following children’s titles will appear in the next 20 years:
“Uncle Jamie’s Pee Pee Is Loads Of Fun!”
“Crack Cocaine, The Way To Success!”
“Your Bad Parents Have a Gun! Report! Report! Report!”
“Islam, For Eternal Happiness!”
Well, the Hunger Games taught children about children hunting children.
Admittedly, there isn't enough ammunition to expunge all the Stupid, but this new push to use nitrogen gas is a promising technical development.
in biblical times.. there would have been a flood by now.
When you see these things come to pass, look up, for your redemption is nigh.

True, but at least they didn’t glorify it. They made it out to be a harrowing and terrible experience, not something to be sought out or justified.
