Comments on: “Disappointing but too too predictable”… http://www.prowomanprolife.org/2009/04/06/disappointing-but-too-too-predictable/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:25:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marauder http://www.prowomanprolife.org/2009/04/06/disappointing-but-too-too-predictable/comment-page-1/#comment-3159 Marauder Mon, 06 Apr 2009 18:48:57 +0000 http://www.prowomanprolife.org/?p=4998#comment-3159 So women who are happy to be pregnant are, what, happy slaves? I've never been pregnant, but I get the general impression that pregnancy, while not without its trials and tribulations, isn't some kind of hideously miserable state of being. Certainly not as wretched as being being beaten for an hour and having salt applied to your wounds like in whichever slave narrative that was. (Frederick Douglass?) Whoever heard of slaves who were still able to do most of the things they'd done pre-slavery and got freed after nine months? The minute someone wants to make it illegal to say something, you know they're wusses. It's like the adult version of running up to the teacher and whining that some other kid called you a mean name.

Never heard of any woman conceiving against her will...seems to me it is up to nature to determine conception. And I never thought of pregnancy as slavery. So many of the comments are just so, well, odd. I could take the afternoon to dismantle many of them, but I have better things to do. Over on rabble they can express their views, just as we can here. So there. What we who defend the prolife cause want is a balanced discussion in which the facts are available to women, without the euphemistic rhetoric that so often characterizes the pro-choice side.
