apocalypsosEvery time I try to come up with something intelligent to say about the murder of abortion doctor George Tiller, who provided late-term abortions, I have a "Flames ... on the side of my face ..." type of reaction.
So I'll just say this.
If you seriously believe that women are so lazy and stupid as a group that a majority of late-term abortions are done not out of medical necessity but because women just routinely and casually decide they don't want to carry a healthy fetus anymore in the eighth month ... if you honestly believe that a woman should be forced to carry a dead fetus until her body decides to get rid of it, if it doesn't give her an infection and kill her off too ... if you can stand there and tell me with a straight expression that every birth defect and flaw can be caught before the fetus becomes theoretically viable outside of the womb and women just wait to get rid of those fetuses out of laziness ... if you actually think a woman should have to carry a fetus without a face or a fucking brain for weeks if not months knowing full well it'll die immediately after birth ...
Get off my friendslist.
No, seriously, get the fuck away from me.
And I hope you never have to learn why the right to a late-term abortion is so goddamn important.

And anyone who would care to read exactly why late abortions are needed, follow this link and read Lynda Waddington's story. (This is a link to her interview from CNN -- be sure to click this link as well to read her letter and see the whole story.) Lynda, incidentally, is my cousin...and I never knew about her story until I saw CNN the other night. I guarantee you will be moved.
(BTW, I friended you, hope you don't mind! We've actually got a few in common - and you seem like a cool-ass chick! Gonna link to your entry too in my journal.)
