Via the Blaze, a clip that raises an important question: Can one be properly woke without having killed a baby?
Skip to 13:30 below. Someone whose cultural cachet doesnt depend on being a young feminist and provocateur would have turned this into a more thoughtful bit of commentary. Shes a loud and proud abortion warrior, she says, but shes uncomfortable (or used to be uncomfortable) with people thinking that she might have had an abortion herself. How come? Had she unconsciously adopted an unjust social stigma against abortion, as she assumes, or was she experiencing a moral intuition about abortion writ large at the thought of killing her own child? If were going with the stigma theory, are there any stigmas within her own in-groups that might encourage a woman to champion abortion even if shes reluctant to do so? If so, how does that square with choice as the supreme virtue? Lots of fodder here for a challenging meditation on this subject. Instead she reacted in the most grotesque (yet provocative, of course) way: She wishes she had killed a baby of her own so that she wouldnt feel the tug of that damnable stigma. Its a perfect expression of pro-choice politics, treating a defenseless life as an instrument to express the depth of your allegiance to the tribe. Theres so much Social Progress that could be made if not for our atavistic squeamishness about blood.

I *suppose* she has enough money to purchase the services of a pajama boy somewhere. Chris Supron maybe?
Oh to have a time machine.. then anyone that had an abortion...go back and abort them before they’ve had their abortion
I think she is asked to many questions.I don’t really know but if she has any children I bet the answer I wished I had raises a red flag
Hey, Lena, the world would be a better place if your mother had had an abortion.
Does she also wish that her mother had an abortion?
Your mother regrets not having an abortion to Lena.
But seriously. These people are sick. It isn’t even about “right to chose.” It is POWER. The power over human life. They want to KILL for killing sake.
Something is wrong with a woman who has not done anything but wishes that she had murdered her child. Abortion is murder.
There ain’t enough tequila to get a fella drunk enough to get her pregnant.
