FETAL PAINS.

Kathryn J. Lopez:
In the new version, with about 40,000 views, we are told that the Texas Infant Pain Capable Protection Act will take us all “one step closer to theocracy,” marking a “war on women” and a ”a battle for vaginas.” “Owning your uteruses gives them a thrill.” The bill is a “a pain in the uterus.” Never mind the pain of the child. Never mind the pain of pretending there aren’t lives abortion hurts, beyond the dead child. Because apparently we’re comfortable not hearing the cries that should rock our consciences.
She talking about a Schoolhouse Rock parody, the very existence of which she considers "confirmation that absolutely nothing is, in fact, sacred." Someone should make a pro-choice Little Lulu cartoon and really blow her mind.

Meanwhile Megan McArdle does what I have come to recognize as the the typical libertarian abortion thing of acting as straight man to foam-mouthed pro-life conservatives:
Make no mistake: I’m pro-choice... But that doesn’t mean I view abortion as having the same moral weight as a haircut or a nose-piercing -- just another personal choice about what you do with your body.
I'm all for women's lib, but these bra-burning kooks, etc. Enter stage right National Review's Witchfinder General David French, who reads this absolutely the way it was intended:
I think McArdle is largely right. Americans tend to be reluctant to “force” women into diffcult circumstances...
Love those quote marks.
...but are broadly unsympathetic to abortions for convenience — thus the backlash you often see even from pro-choice advocates when people admit, for example, to killing their child to preserve a short-lived pro volleyball career.
Bet you didn't know that most abortions are enjoyed by the Undeserving Pregnant -- sluts who deserve what happened to them and just want their unborns sucked out so they they can get back to hot yoga.
McArdle states that it is “impossible to completely separate the good [abortions] from the bad,” and — legally — she is largely right. Government can’t possibly construct a screening mechanism that separates ”good” (i.e., publicly supported because of the mother’s acknowledged difficulties) abortions from the “bad,” nor would the pro-life movement ever support such a regime. The pro-life answer is to match our honesty about abortion with charity towards mothers in crisis, to ameliorate as best we can the pressures and difficulties that lead to the “bad” abortions.
By "charity towards mothers in crisis" he means steering them into fake "pregnancy centers" of the sort French and his buddies are trying to turn every women's health clinic into, and by "ameliorate as best we can the pressures and difficulties that lead to the 'bad' abortions," he means make all abortions illegal.

Oh, and he complains liberals are defaming him and his Operation Rescue buddies as "absurd caricatures of intolerant fundamentalists." He doesn't think he's got this image problem because of the crazy shit he says; he thinks it's because "America’s pro-abortion radicals are disproportionately clustered in the mainstream media and popular culture." Buddy, people were onto you in the days of the Pharisees.

    Which 'honesty' would that be, Davey? Would it be the 'abortion causes breast cancer' nonsense? Or the 'fetuses can feel pain' nonsense? Or the 'this scaled down model of a six-month old is what your fetus looks like' nonsense? Or the 'all women regret their abortions' nonsense? Or the 'abortions cause infertility' nonsense? Or the 'abortion clinics are littered with the brutalized remains of aborted fetuses' nonsense? Or the 'your tax dollars pay for abortions' nonsense? Or the 'Planned Parenthood is a for-profit enterprise' nonsense? Seriously Davey, I'm on tenterhooks here.

    Hmm. The "pro-abortion radicals" have the force of law, the right to privacy, Roe v. Wade, on their side. Precisely what is radical about defending one's rights under law?


    On the other hand, the pro-lifers are not considered by French as radicals, they're just the people out of the media spotlight, even though they have resorted to, at various times in the history of this issue, harassment, sabotage, murder, terrorism and arson, not to mention legislative nullification efforts, to accomplish a single, coordinated aim--to deny certain rights to privacy and self-determination to 51% of the population.


    But, they're not radicals, like the pro-choicers.


    Yeah, right.

    Call me a relativist feminazi, but I tend to assume women have reasons I don't know and can't imagine to terminate a pregnancy, and that it's not my place to demand explanations.

    If she's telling you it's to preserve her short lived pro-volleyball career (Hah! Women! See how they're all stereotypes anyway? And see how women's pursuits are just shallow anyway? I am forced to assume that women who have pro-volleyball careers are just out there as a hobby, or to irritate their fathers or something, not because they actually find it fulfilling or a good way to pay the bills, or anything. Clearly, having babies is a much higher priority than the exercise of any skills a woman might have worked to gain, regardless of her feelings on the matter.), she might just be saying it's none of your fucking business, troglodyte, and she doesn't suppose you're capable of arguing in good faith to begin with.

    And I've said this before, but yes, okay, some women regret having had an abortion. So? Lots of people regret getting married. Let's ban that next. I regret the carrot cake I had last week and the book I bought yesterday and ever starting drinking and ever stopping drinking. Human beings are just hope-shaped jars in which regret thrives like a sourdough starter.

    And thus it ever has been. Life is sacred and babies are the most precious things and children are our future! At least right up until the point that mom needs some prenatal care, or the child needs some medication, or, indeed, anything that might cost a dollar. Then, mother and child are both worthless moochers who should be hounded from society.

    For K-Lo, it's all about the fetus being capable of experiencing pain. But what about all the other things they think a 15-20 week-old fetus is capable of? Should she ever get pregnant herself (assuming a black market harvest from sperm-jacking), I'm guessing her first ultrasound viewing would go something like this:

    K-Lo: "Oh look at the tiny little baby... so precious... so beaut.. Hey, where's he putting that hand?... what's he doing in there? OH MY GOD! HE'S... HE'S...IT'S MASTURBATING ITSELF! THAT'S DISGUSTING! LOOK IT'S ENJOYING IT! AAAGH! GET THIS THING OUT OF ME! GET IT OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW!"

    to ameliorate as best we can the pressures and difficulties that lead to the “bad” abortions.


    WTF does that mean? The "bad" abortions, in their eyes, come when women decide that their life circumstances can't support having a child at that time - life circumstances being both economic, aspirational, and health-related. Just how does K-Lo think she's going to "ameliorate" those circumstances?



    If a woman has a medical condition that makes her choose to end a pregnancy, what's K-Lo going to do, wave a magic wand and heal her?



    If a woman is too poor to support a child, I don't see Republicans praising the idea of providing welfare support, both pre and post birth.



    If a woman has dreams and ambitions that don't include motherhood at the present time - what's K-Lo going to do about that? Convince the woman to abandon her aspirations? Shame her out of them? Shut the door to her opportunities?


    Just how does ANYTHING proposed by the right "ameliorate" the circumstances that lead to a woman making her own decision to end a pregnancy?

  26. glennisw9:20 AM

    This fucking pisses me off the most, this fake-concern troll shit about racism. Why not ask the question why so many black and hispanic women find themselves in circumstances that make them decide to end an unwanted pregnancy?



    Aren't poverty, lack of access to sex education, contraception, pre-natal health care, and fear about one's ability to support a child factors in this? Yeah, there's racism all right, but it's not from the women's health providers, its racism toward the mothers from lawmakers, that makes their lives too miserable to bring a child into the world.

    The problem the anti choice zealots will always have is that they base their positions on theological arguments by assertion (well, when they're not outright lying). Our problem is that for far too long, we let them get away with it. The example that leaps to mind is when candidate Obama appeared at Rick Warren's carnival of faith with John McCain back in '08, and ducked the question "When does life begin" with a lame "[That's] above my pay grade." Conservatives love certainty, even when it's indefensible, and regard expressions of uncertainty, even when they are the more honest answer to an unknowable question, as weakness. I'm glad to see that finally, our side is standing up and saying "No, a blastocyst is not a baby, 20 week old fetuses do not feel pain, and legislators have no right to force theologically based laws on women in their private lives." And for good measure, every one of the above comments should be copy/pasted over at French's NatRev site.

    No, they're not radicals, because radicals are bad, and they're good, because they're "honest." By which I assume he means, they fetishize the fetus, ascribe sanctity and a soul to a clump of cells but literally could not care less about what happens to that soul once it's actually born--and they have the courage to sometimes sort of imply so.

  36. His line about "charity towards mothers in crisis" is also pretty rich.


    When I was a kid, my mother's conservative Baptist church was very charitable towards us after my dad left. Then my dad asked to come back, and she said no, and that charity suddenly evaporated. Conservative charity doesn't come to women who make the wrong decisions, you see.

    As I learned from the blowback in French's comment section when I posted my initial comment over there as well as here, the zealots really do believe that a fertilized egg IS a baby. I was almost prepared to attribute a tiny measure of good will to the NatRev commenters who were shedding crocodile tears over Kermit Gosnell's joint, or were blatting on about how Rick Perry is just trying to ensure that Texas women have a safe, clean, well regulated facility to go for an abortion, but in return, I expect that they would be OK with unrestricted, over the counter meds like Plan B, or the Copper T or ParaGard iud. Of course, they are not, which should prove that the abortion ban after 20 weeks is just a shuck, and anyone on our side who is tempted to say, "Well, 20 weeks really isn't THAT unreasonable, can't we all just get along" shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects or allowed to manage their own money.

    It's Dennis, all butthurt because his comments at "Sadly, No!" are being ignored, then deleted. He's partially nymjacking the person who used to pay attention to him, who has finally gotten hip to the fact that feeding the troll is pointless.

    I don't think K-Lo even wants the "freedom of choice for me" part.

  100. Now -I- feel cheated, since I ALWAYS feed the trolls.

    Leave it to you Danes, feeding the trolls since the days of Hróarr. Do you need Geatish assistance?

  104. AHHHHhaahhaa I FINALLY GET IT. I have "berg" in my middle name! So I must be a jew! Racist idiots aren't just stupidly ignorant, they're also ignorant of their own stupidity.

  108. No doubt... I'm feeling weirdly awake right now. It's 05:45 here in the suburbs of Copenhagen. And the sun is already blinding me through my 13th floor window. The sun is my enemy.

    I see Roy is following suit. Guess it's time for Dennis to come up with either some well-thought out comments or a new alias.

    Well, see, "charity" means that the disgusting sluts get on their knees and beg for what they need, and when they get 1/10 of what they actually need, along with a stern moral lecture about their sluttishness, they burst into tears of shame and guilt and sob out their gratitute for being allowed to mooch off their betters, whom they now recognize as their superiors in every way.

  113. The First Sand and Return Serve Church of God?

  114. You should look up "Some Mistakes of Moses" by the American writer and lecturer, Col. Robert Ingersoll. He has some devastating things to say about American "Christianity" as it was in the 19th Century.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Way ahead of you. But like I said, I've never been religious at all.. It's sort of funny, because when debating American fundies online, they can't seem to grasp the concept of someone like me even existing. Someone who's never believed in any god, pick a god, do the card trick already.

  116. A convicted bank robber would probably have a better chance getting elected to public office than an American atheist.

  117. True. But President P.Z. Myers whould be a fun thing to behold.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Speaking of P. Z., he's going to be a guest blogger at The Underground Bunker, a website devoted to detailing the fallicies of Scientology.

    Now that “Pharyngula” author PZ Myers has spilled the beans,
    we can reveal that the University of Minnesota Morris biology professor
    will be joining us here as we read through L. Ron Hubbard’s epic 1952
    work, A History of Man.
