I'm Not Sure What to Make of This . Posted: 06-11-07 18:18pm
Usually whenever I hear about 'abortion'
and the whole choice vs. life issue it's
accompanied by irrational politicians
and/or arguing supporters of either side.
A friend emailed me a link to this one
particular site. Apparently they blog
about all sorts of things but this one in
particular caught my attention (they also
made an accompanying comic strip for that
post); if anything it's definitely an
"interesting" way to convey which side
they stand on.
*warning: if you look around their site
some of their stuff can be a bit intense
and "adult themed".
I won't bias any of you guys here one way
or the other, I'm still trying to make up
my mind over it.

well i think the guy writing this,
describing a woman being pregnant is kind
of a retard, and im glad my guy doesn't
see it that way, i'm glad i wont be the
woman ending up with him one day. (i hate
these stupid filters)
and i just read the next paragraph which
pissed me off also, "ladies take some
responsibility to make sure you don't get
pregnant."
um why should girls be the only one taking
responsibility? it takes 2!
i think this guy is an fool lol

It made me chuckle.
The guy is prochoice. Although I think
he's a bit brash, and I don't agree with
his one sided responsibility scheme, at
least he's prochoice and I don't give a
hoot about those other things since he's
keeping his nose out of my uterus.
An excerpt:
"I mean let’s think about this, if every
time *I* had sex there was a chance I’d
end up fat, bloated and pregnant for
three-quarters of a year; you can be damn
sure I’m going to take every precaution
so that doesn’t happen. Girls, if you
don’t want to get pregnant, if you
don’t want to risk such a heinous
consequence, take the responsibility and
ensure that when the guy blows his load
you’re not going to end up with labor
pains as the result."

"...you can be bless sure I'm going to
take every precaution...." I like the
eHealth profanity filter's interpretation
of that excerpt.
I'd say the article is one of the more,
"colorful(?)" expressions of prochoice
I've heard in a while.

The opinion that women who get pregnant
obviously don't use contraception really
annoys me but everyone is entitled to
their opinion and at elast he's not trying
to tell me i'm a mu'rderer or anything!

Did you all watch the youtube vid he
posted? I think birth is a pretty amazing
process, however...they did an
epistiodemy, and I about sewed up my
vagina for all time. Yikes!!!

Putting in my late two cents... I agree
that it's totally sexist and stupid that
this man seems to be putting the burden of
contraception totally on the woman. That's
ridiculous!
