so instead of:

“mom and apple pie”

we have:

“some old cougar and a mostly apple pie bought from costco”

awesome

“Whomever this Merle Hoffman is...just ew. She’s disgusting.”

Just another pro abortionist. Pity there are thousands like her in America.

[rsobin]

For centuries we condoned the actions of Spanish invaders in Central America on the pretense of our disgust for child sacrifice. Here we are. We deserve whatever wrath should it befall us.

It is true-—this Marxist mindset—being forced into our public schools—to revile the nature of man and woman and their very creation and future. To revile the fact, that the earth has human beings on it.

When you can actually get a woman to kill her own creation and not have any moral qualms about the act and hate the male who helped with that creation-—you have reduced human beings to less than an animal.

No moral rational animal would have killed their own young.

These people have no humanity—no decency.

These godless people are capable of any evil, if they can kill their own flesh and blood, they will kill anyone.

When many many people know someone who had an abortion - cousin, mother, best friend - they don’t want it to be illegal; they don’t want the person they know and love to be criminalized and condemned.

But if abortion was rare - not one in three or four women, but one in twenty or one in a hundred had had abortions, those women would be seen as aberrations and most people would be much more willing to see abortion made illegal.

And that is why abortion supporters cannot afford to have the procedure ever become “safe, legal and rare.” Safe, legal and common is what they need.

The article quotes Hoffman... “If women would start talking more honestly and directly abut their abortions, the shame would be removed and women would discuss their abortions like they speak of a “bikini wax”.

Sorry, Morgana... I can’t even comment right now. That quote just stunned me.

[denydenydeny]

In her view, if women would start talking more honestly and directly about their abortions, the shame would be removed and women would discuss their abortions like they speak of “a bikini wax.”

People on that side of the culture are puzzled by the persistence of shame about abortions. They've won virtually every other cultural battle in the last fifty years, and today we have a mass culture that would be completely unrecognizable to an American of the 1950s. Only with abortion--despite its universal availability and mass political constituency in the national Democratic Party, where it's enshrined as a holy-of-holies--do we see actual shame about anything. women who have abortions are still, largely, deeply ashamed of it.

This tends to make me think that this shame is not at all a "societal construct" and comes from a deeper, more personal, more fundamentally human place.

[Morgana]

Don’t let it get to you Momofthree. It is nothing more than the left trying to make sin not get on their conscience.

They can run from their conscience but they can’t hide. They can lie to themselves all they want to but deep inside they know the truth.

The truth is never far behind, it will come out one way or another.

And if we didn't have Hollywood types like that creature Whoopi Goldberg dispensing wisdom like "It is the hardest decision that a woman ever- wait- ever has to make. So, when you talk about it, a little bit of reverence to the women out there who have had to make this horrible decision,"

As I understand it, she has made the "horrible decision" multiple times. What a role model for young women! cIs a sarc tag necessary?

The carnage that has been perpetrated since January 22, 1973 is an indelible stain upon the record of our great Nation - we got rid of slavery a century and a half ago, but in the last 38 years we have installed in its place a merciless charnel house. May God have mercy on our souls for allowing such a thing to happen!

obama, the president sponsored by planned parenthood...visited upon a nation that enshrined the slaughter of infants in law (and created an industry for it) a generation ago.

How can there not be a bolshevik revolution in our future if it continues?

[the invisib1e hand]

May God have mercy on our souls for allowing such a thing to happen!

Mercy might mean burning down the house of iniquity to save the souls of the whores.

[ConorMacNessa]

Indeed! I hate to see it come to pass, but something is needed to purge our society of its endemic iniquity. The Fire next time!



Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

[houeto]

We deserve whatever wrath should it befall us.

It's coming.

That quote just stunned me, Morgana. Can you imagine? “What are you going to do today?” “Let’s see... I need to pick up my dry cleaning, get a manicure, have a life sucked out of my womb and pick up some chicken for dinner”. That is what the left wants... normalcy. The killing of a life is equated to something as mundane as a bikini wax or a manicure.

The conscience is a wonderful thing. You are right.. you can run but it keeps up. When a woman sees a baby in someone’s arms... the conscience is right there. When they see ads for Mother’s Day gifts... the conscience is right there. If and when they give birth to a “wanted” baby... the conscience is right there.
