A friend and I were talking about how best to describe feminazis in everyday vernacular. When in doubt, turn to “The Little Rascals.”
I… [insert feminazi name here]… Member in good standing of the He-Woman Man/Baby Haters Club… Do solemnly swear to be a he-woman and hate men and kill babies and not play with them or talk to them unless I have to. And especially: never get married or get pregnant, and if I do get pregnant, may I kill the baby slowly and painfully and make it suffer for hours – or until my abortionist deems that it is sufficiently dismembered.
In the end, it’s not really that funny is it?
I don’t understand how in a society where aborting [read: murdering] an unborn child is permitted up until the moment of birth (if you don’t believe that, read Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, bevakasha) anyone would be shocked at a woman shooting herself in the stomach the day her child was due to be born.
The last few paragraphs of that ABC article really struck a chord:
The long-term impact that Skinner’s actions will have on the abortion debate remains to be seen. Should legislators redefine abortion laws to make expectant mothers criminally responsible for actions like Skinner’s?
Her situation was noticed too late, and the way she sought a resolution was tragic and possibly criminal.
No matter what, the complex questions and tough decisions that come with her case seem far from resolved.
In my mind, there are ought not to be any complex questions and/or tough decisions on either side.
If you fall in the murderous pro-abortion camp, this woman was merely exercising her constitutional right in a way that seems more harmful to her body than the conventional method of letting an abortionist dismember the baby within her womb.
For those of us in the pro-life camp, there is nothing complex about this issue. She murdered her unborn child. Perhaps it seems more brutal to some because the baby was fully formed – but for true valuers of all human life, abortion is always brutal no matter what stage of development the unborn child is in.
There is a lot of interesting conversation going on over at Hot Air about this and how it impacts both sides of the abortion debate. I’m pretty sure I’ve made myself clear on where I stand.
P.S. We chose to keep the “he” part of the “he-man” phrase because feminazis usually resemble men more than women. Buzz cuts, manly clothes, stubborn refusal to admit when they’re wrong, etc.
