    OH MY FUCKING GOD. I am so sick of this shit. Permit me to shout it from the rooftops:


    I HAVE HAD THREE ABORTIONS


    JUMPED FOR JOY EVERY TIME


    NEVER AN OUNCE OF GUILT


    NEVER REGRETTED ANY OF THEM


    I know these statements will upset some readers, and I am sorry for that.


    I know some readers will think I am a cold heartless bitch. I am not.


    I know some readers will think I am lying or in denial or something. I am not lying, and if I am in denial, it's working pretty well, since the last one was 11 years ago.

    This article sounds like it was written by someone who had an abortion, regretted it, and wants everyone else to regret theirs, too. Let it go.

    In the same issue, a sidebar asks, "Why is the abortion rate so high?" The sidebar is devoted to contraception as a way to lower the rate, which isn't where I'd jump to...


    Funny stuff.

    Did anybody notice the little jab at the end at BC and the jab in the middle that ronaldpagan saw?


    For K-Lo the goal is not "make abortion illegal", it is outlaw BC and abortion.


    First, K-Lo, keep your religion out of my life and my country's laws.


    Second, K-Lo, the only proven way to reduce poverty in the world (the ONLY PROVEN way) is to permit women full control over their fertility.

    Miss Kathryn Jean mentions "liberal feminists". Um.....question: are there "conservative feminists"? Anyone?


    For real, do not say the S.P.-word.

    @graciousplum's dad bought the v-day gift of SNUGGIE: Yeah, I think there are conservative feminists. A friend of mine is a Republican in the traditional sense (small government, free markets) but she's pro-choice because she doesn't want the wingers or fundies all up in her hooha either.


    But I get what you're saying: the way Lopez meant it, she's being redundant. Not surprising though. This was the woman who is so logic-free, Peggy Noonan dissed her.

    in opening ourselves to a total physical surrender to another = lies motionless on the bed waiting for it to be over so she can go take a shower and wash away the sin.

    Sex possesses an awesome power


    I've hear that argument before.

    The next statement is:


    Sex can only be enjoyed/permitted under these circumstances, which you do not decide, or question.


    As Megan says, patriarchy, power, etc.

    I foresee the creation of a new cable TV Channel: AborTV. Abortion, all the time! Watch "In the Clinic," a behind the scenes look at abortionists and their evil work! And, don't miss "My Baby Too" at 8; Men tell stories of their aborted sons.

    ...and take back our country for God


    This weekend I was behind a car with two bumper stickers: "Abortion is ALWAYS the wrong choice" and "God will bless America when America returns to God"


    I wanted to slam into the back of that car, I was so filled with rage, but alas I was in my boyfriend's car and he wouldn't let me.

    @VirtuousVixen: There's a car I sometimes pass in my law school's abortion that has a bumper sticker that says "abortion stops a beating heart" with a picture of a baby on it. I'll admit to getting irrationally pissed off by it.

    Guilt has been known to be a VERY positive and constructive emotion. In fact, sometimes, if one feels enough guilt, a time machine appears so that one can go back in time and never have the dirty, wrong sexytimes in the first place. To the Guiltmobile!

    Thanks for the laugh. I was feeling some rage at that fine example of compassionate, modern womanhood a moment ago.
