Whomever this Merle Hoffman is...just ew. She’s disgusting.
Only if you are a murderer.
so instead of:
“mom and apple pie”
we have:
“some old cougar and a mostly apple pie bought from costco”
awesome
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.
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.
How can there not be a bolshevik revolution in our future if it continues?
Killing human beings does give some an addictive feeling of power. It lies behind the mentality of serial killers and tyrants and other mass murderers.
Abortion is more like the apple in the Garden of Eden. The choice is to say “no” to God or to say “yes.”
Merle, let us also farm the aborted for useful parts, eat what we will of the rest of them, and fertilize our (environmentally harmonious) vegetable garden with what remains. It would be the only ecologically responsible thing to do.
What a brave new world you imagine. What a wondrous vision to draw us forward to it.
he uses another fake quote, often used by pro aborts to stress that aboriton is common:
As many as one out of three women will have at least one abortion. In some American neighborhoods, the number of abortions far exceeds the number of live births.
no, one out of three pregnancies are aborted. but many women have multiple abortions, so the number of women who have had abortions is lower than that.
The word "empower" is a weird one. It is, in practice, a way of taking a lust for murder and painting it pink.
Tens of millions of women have made the willful decision to kill innocent little pre-born baby sons and daughters.
If that is a "power" which those women glorify, they are something incredibly ugly.
We are making headway. At the high point, there were about 1.6 million abortions committed per year. In 2008, there were just over 825,000 reported abortions. That comes out to 2,260 abortions, or 700 fewer babies being murdered, per day.
