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

[DogandPonyShow]

I bet she supports abortion though.

[Slapshot68]

She must squeak when she walks.

[Inspectorette]

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.

[Talking_Mouse]

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?

[Steve_Seattle]

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.

[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.

[trisham]

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.

Childbirth disgusts me

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

[opus86]

Sounds like Helen has issues. I’m glad she’s chosen not to reproduce.

[Pistolshot]

sex education film she watched as a convent school girl

Yep, the Catholic church had a way of scaring the heck out of you about sex, drugs, and any other behavior that the church didn't want you doing. The earlier you got the 'message', the better.

[Monterrosa-24]

Long about 1971 my high school health class watched a childbirth film and the setting of the birth was a fallout shelter. Perhaps other Freepers saw the same film. It was already old in ‘71.

That childbirth was rougher and with more blood than most. Yet if any of the boy or girl teens in my class were upset by it they kept it to themselves.

I guess we should introduce such films by attractive teachers since Helen Mirren (Mrs. Caligula) seemed to be troubled by the unattractive woman who introduced her film. We should also be careful to have attractive mothers and babies starring in the films apparently.

I’ve seen four out of my five children come into the air-breathing world and I find nothing disgusting about the birth process. It might be tough on the immature however.

[Cecily]

“I put my hands over my face because I realised I couldn’t watch this.”

Sort of how many feel as they watch Ms. Mirren in “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover,” a very gross film.

[Mr. Mojo]

'Childbirth disgusts me'

Some childbirths disgust me too. ....like Helen Mirren's, for instance.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

FREERIDER PING!!!

[trimom]

She went to a single sex convent school and yet the childbirth film was shown to boys and girls together. Something doesn’t pass the giggle test there.
