Old white men welcomed to abortion debate…

April 30, 2012 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

…when they read pro-abortion talking points. (Otherwise, please shut up.) Thanks to Heather Mallick for clarifying this, once again:

I now find Tory MP Gordon O’Connor strangely attractive. And you can quote me.

    Interesting. She brings out the old canard:
    “Though I do understand that the right’s efforts to destroy the 1988 Morgentaler decision by the Supreme Court of Canada are pregnancy-related, they seem just as much to do with s*xual intercourse, nasty and dirty as it is.”

    And she’s right. Because I don’t think sex is a sin, but I don’t think it’s a game either. S*x – at least heteros*xual s*x involving a pre-menopausal woman – IS about procreation. That is always there.

    One of the axiomatic assumptions of the pro-choice crowd is that adults have a right to consequence-free s*x, and furthermore that right trumps any putative rights of the unborn child. Mallick starts her piece: “When does human life begin? When strangers’ eyes meet across a crowded room, obviously. It’s romantic, it’s wild, it’s out of control and kind of sticky.” Out of control is the key point here. To Mallick s*x is just one of those things which is beyond our control and it is therefore unreasonable to expect people to take responsibility for the consequences.

    But once you realize s*x leads to babies – and it’s surprising how long it takes this realisation to hit some of us – you immediately become more conservative about s*x.

    Mallick doesn’t think abortion and s*x are related. This is the first problem.

    The spam guard doesn’t like the s*x word, so just a gentle reminder that if this plays into your comment, replace the “e” with “*” and it should be fine.
    Thanks for your comment, Nicola.

    Mallick, like so many, deflects the question with some weird hyperbole as if the mockery shows something. It shows that Mallick is not addressing the question. Furthermore, Mallick implies life is really not very important. Eat, drink and be merry until they come for you.
