And baby makes two
Salon ^ | Oct. 19, 2007 | Katharine Mieszkowski

Posted on 10/20/2007 9:20:22 AM PDT by Lorianne

On Labor Day weekend, a midwife's favorite holiday, Louise Sloan, a 41-year-old lesbian, had semen Fed Exed to her mother's summer place in Kennebunkport, Maine. Sloan, a magazine writer and editor, had always imagined she'd become a mother as part of a couple. Instead, here she was, a single woman accepting delivery of a stranger's sperm at the summer home of her 70-year-old Republican Southern mother, then informing the prospective grandmother that she was headed upstairs by herself to "baste." (Think: turkey baster.)

Sloan interviewed dozens of self-described "single mothers by choice" -- both straight and gay -- for her new book, "Knock Yourself Up: A Tell-All Guide to Becoming a Single Mom." Like many of them, for Sloan, fulfilling the dream of having a child meant more than holding out to find a life partner to start that family with. In her early 40s, she writes, her biological clock had begun to sound like a "car alarm." So she decided to try to have a baby, while it was still a possibility for her, and hope to meet the love of her life later on.

Is it just me, or does the author of the book seem to go way out of her way to make especially pointy points about her Southern Republican family members?

It almost seems like she had this child just to irk them.

Welcome to the world, Baby.

Sorry I don’t know who your daddy was because I bought him online.

Kind of reminds me of the fishtank scene in “Finding Nemo” when they all tell where they came from, and the starfish says, “Ebay!”.

I just about have myself convinced that there’s no sign of the End Times... that we humans have been depraved and perverted for many thousands of years, that this generation is nothin’ special when it comes to evil, and so forth.

Then I read stuff like this and I have to start over. :-(

Ewww. I wonder how many drinks she had to buy the turkey baster to get "him" into bed.

That is what being "gay" is all about. There is nothing else. They are forever the wounded child, the child of abuse or rejection. Their whole life is wrapped up in it. But the majority of them never heal, never get help, they just drift deeper and deeper into their pathology of pain and denial.

Why are women wearing such tight clothes?

It’s so aggressive.

Sounds like the 41-year-old is still rebelling against the folks and their establishment ways.

Nothing better demonstrates the selfish “it’s all about me” attitudes of liberals than this.

It is no wonder liberals and their constituencies have the most psychological, physical, financial and relationship problems.

It’s all about them.

Nothing says romance like FedExed semen and a turkey baster.

No, that would be the “Knock Yourself Up” author, Louise Sloan.

Personally, when it comes to semen, I hold by the old-fashioned method. If it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight...deliver it yourself. (Of course, I can. I'm a guy.)

By the way..."Mom, I'm going up to my room to baste?" My, that's just dripping with romance, isn't it? (Metaphorically, that is. Literally, of course, it's dripping with something else.)

Yesterday I did an inspection at the home of 40 something year old woman who committed suicide several months ago. the bath tub was still thick with dried blood where she shot herself.

Otherwise the home was immaculate but it was clear from the books in the bookshelf and scattered around the home that she was a liberal feminist lesbian of the highest order.

One of the neighbors said the woman had been despondent because she was out of work, out of friends, and even her family did not talk to her.

The neighbor thought that the superior attitude the woman always took may have driven everyone away.

I don’t envy you your Friday.

Your story raises the question: do liberals tend to go crazy? Or is it that crazy people become liberals?
