What a piece of work this woman is... Pictures at the link if you are interested.

I bet she supports abortion though.

She must squeak when she walks.

Too bad - I mistakenly thought that Ms. Mirren was a classy lady. How wrong I was.

[RetiredArmy]

Okay, now I am about to show you just how much I hate and detest Hollywood. I have never heard of this broad, or seen her in a film. I took a look at her picture. I wonder what man would want to get close enough to her to chance getting her pregnant. It might turn out to look like her and that is just something you cannot impose on the poor child.

Some people are not cut our to be parents. Its good that they recognize this and not have children.

Everyone who is making comments about her attitude ask yourself do you really want her raising a child?

She claims they were taught nothing about reproduction, and in the next sentence says they were shown a graphic film of a childbirth. I’m not sure I believe this story. Doesn’t sound like the kind of film they would have shown to a mixed group - or even to a sex-segregated group - in the Catholic school that I attended.

Children are not for everyone...but it is interesting in that in the past year, I have talked with at least 4 friends (far left liberals) who were in the final stages of life. They had lived fast and loose and had a great time. But now surrounded by all their stuff and great memories - they were all so BITTER. They were all looking for a legacy. And yes - none of them had children.

[the_devils_advocate_666]

Very good point.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

So she went to a “single-sex convent school” but in this class there were “girls and boys” and “two of the boys fainted.” (?)

I guess being a celebrity means that you just assume that the whole world is automatically and totally fascinated with the most minute details of your personal life. I’ve found out way more than I would ever want to know about this woman, including that she appears to be nutty.

[ShadowDancer]

I know there are plenty of people who find childbirth to be the most beautiful thing on the face on earth and in theory, the miracle of it is. In reality, it’s messy and painful and gross. I’m not all that surprised that it grossed her out to watch that as a young girl. Hell, I had no desire to watch mine whatsoever. ‘You can look in the mirror if you’d like.’ Um, no dice, thank you very much.

Funny you would say that, check the Keywords I added with the original article post.

How sad. What she has missed!

[FormerACLUmember]

The genetic code for “b*tch from h*ll” is being slowly bred out of the species, it would appear.

She claims they were taught nothing about reproduction, and in the next sentence says they were shown a graphic film of a childbirth.

Also, she says she was in a same-sex convent school, yet the film was shown to a mixed audience of students.

Her lying and her degrading motherhood make her sound like a typical Hollywood type, but as another commented, thank goodness she did not have any children.

[shekkian]

My thoughts, exactly.

[Inspectorette]

Everyone who is making comments about her attitude ask yourself do you really want her raising a child?

No, I wouldn't want to see her raising a child. However, why does she find it necessary to spew her ignorant opinion about it? As I said, I admired her as an actress - disappointing to see that she's just another Hollywood twit.

Childbirth disgusts me

More likely she disgusts men and, who knows, perhaps many lesbian women too.

" they were all so BITTER. They were all looking for a legacy. And yes - none of them had children."

We could have told them that. Some of us tried.
