Last week, I had a terrible day at work. I was carpooling back to NJ with my best friend, complaining about work, when I saw a pro-life billboard that said “Take my hand, Not my life–Abortion kills babies.” and a phone number. I whipped out my cellphone, called that number, and told the lady on the other line that her billboard on Route 1&9 just convinced me to have an abortion. The idea of a HAND in my body revolted me.

I wish I had this person’s 800 number so I could tell him that I had killed his/her prospective spouse 26 years ago. When I was born instead of him/her. No true love for them. Just for me.

Ha! Well, that just made getting home from work much more interesting.

The stupid! It burrrnssss us!

I wish all those fools who “adopt” a “spirit baby” could learn just how effective their little self-righteousness wankfest is-about as effective as protesting outside clinics, which means not at all. And yeah, it’s typical of antis not to imagine babies as real, sqalling, messy, expensive, inconvenient beings. Spirit babies are so easy!

I had some 17 year old blockhead try to mansplain to me this weekend at the clinic how my thinking on abortion was wrong and I don’t understand how abortion hurts women. He was very eager to tell me all about all my errors of thought. I was forced to decline his kind offer, and managed not to apply a foot to his groin in the process, but it wasn’t easy to resist.

@baraqiel: True. But preferable to him hassling women at clinics.

Do they pray for wanted babies who are sick or premature? Pregnant women with eclampsia or other life-threatening complications of pregnancy? Or women trying to overcome infertility? My guess is no.

I almost feel bad for this kid — he seems to be of the type that got a blog without realizing the nature of the internets. I mean, come on:

“I’ve adopted an Spirit Baby!

My friend told me about it a few days ago. Pretty much you ‘adopt’ a premature baby that is in danger of being aborted. You pray for it daily for its save and healthy delivery and for its mother to overcome her obstacles in life to keep the baby alive. (You pretty much just make up a baby and pray for it hahaha.)”

That’s like…nuclear level naive.

ha. YES, SarahMC. I just know I would have a multi-million dollar trust in my name if only a charitable/generous never known to me person had not been aborted, grown up, made millions, met me and was so touched by my soul that he/she made me their heir.

In every argument we have, for the rest of our lives, I’m throwing it in my husband’s face that he’s just my backup husband, because my soul mate was aborted.

The complete lack of logic hurts, but not enough to drown out the laughter.

I suspect my benefactor was aborted.

I prefer to think someone aborted whoever would have been standing in front of me at the ATM last Tuesday. That was indeed “fast cash.”
