All Abort!
Friday, May 22, 2009
Sometimes I wish a large amount of people would “abort” themselves, especially after reading the news of President Obama’s visit to Notre Dame-Indiana. Couple that with shocking Gallup polls conducted May 7-10 that state that 51% of Americans are pro-life and 42% are pro-choice: we’ve got a cocktail of epic idiocy.
Obama: Went to Notre Dame. Obama: Got an honorary degree. Zealots: Decided to make the entire graduation procession about abortion. It’s certainly not about higher education in my book. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone to high school or college graduations and just started screaming my religious beliefs at the top of my lungs. That’s practically a weekly event in my life and clearly the best forum for it.Especially because I’ve never actually attended a graduation I wasn’t graduating in and I have no religious beliefs.
I also find it shameful that people are poo-pooing the University of Notre Dame for inviting Obama. What kind of zealot-filled world do we live in where it’s a maniacal thing to invite the leader of your country to a school? A plane circled overhead with an anti-abortion banner waving behind it and people held signs saying such poppy catch-phrases as “Shame on Notre Dame.” Yes, Notre Dame, shame on you. Shame on you for inviting the leader of your country to a graduation procession, shame on you for having a graduation procession, and shame on you for existing within driving distance of whacko nutjobs that seem wholeheartedly confused about where they are and what they’re doing: they’re just happy as long as someone else knows they don’t like killing babies. Well, let’s talk about killing babies. Let’s talk about sending generations of our young people to war repeatedly. Korea, Vietnam, the first and second Gulf Wars. Let’s talk about carpet bombing, let’s talk about the drug war. Why is it so much more wrong to kill an unborn baby, then to go to another country and kill their born babies? Are our babies innately superior? How is it any worse? Isn’t there a larger societal issue at hand? Isn’t all the killing wrong? Why is an 18-year-old’s life worth less than a baby? Why is a 36-year-old police officer who gets gunned down by a drug lord attempting to stop a shipment of cocaine worth less than a baby? How come you zealots don’t care about that? Why is it only babies? Why is killing as many adults as possible a non-controversial topic to you people? Everyday men and women fight in Iraq, and sometimes they die horribly. How come the zealots turn a blind eye to that? What happens when we blow the crap out of an entire city filled with all age groups? What if a bomb drops on an abortion clinic as a baby is being aborted: then is it wrong? You want to know real strife, death, and tragedy? Carry a rifle in the desert. I think it adds up to a lack of life experience from sheltered people. Why is the line in the sand drawn right here?War is awful, brutal, despicable, and unspeakably horrible. It makes an abortion clinic look like a goldfish farm filled with kittens and pure sunshine.
How trite, how jaded, how narrow-minded of you to be so petty and introverted that you don’t care about anything that isn’t in your backyard and that doesn’t disagree with your beliefs. And let’s clarify for a second what I mean by “zealot.” I’m not talking about the normal people that believe in what they believe in and go to church. I have no quarrel with them. I’m talking about the people that have nothing better to do than tell other people how to live. And don’t mistake this article for me telling anyone how to live, all I’m trying to do is broaden zealous horizons and point them to the fact that turning a microscope on this one issue when there are so many bigger things to worry about is ludicrous.Instead of worrying about wars of attrition and starvation in other countries, it’s a woman’s right to choose: women haven’t been oppressed enough as-is! I read that this Roe v. Wade woman is there, now, on the other side of the fence, anti-abortion all the way and she’s trying to get her old case overturned. How many drugs have you done, lady? Do you realize… I mean… do you really realize everything what’s happened because of you? There’s no buyer’s remorse in this life, lady!
Honestly, if you forced everyone to have a baby, regardless, the world would be full of screwed-up people and overpopulated. Because those people don’t want to be parents, don’t want to care, and sometimes can’t even handle it. How many crack-babies and kids with fetal alcohol syndrome do we need running around? Who’s going to take care of all these abandoned kids? The state and your tax dollars, of course. Are these kids going to grow up to be well-rounded individuals that lead meaningful productive lives? Oh, sure, I mean, why not? It seems logical. Empirical research definitely supports it.
/sarcasm
What’s your counter-argument, zealots? Stop having sex? Why don’t you just stop breathing? Then this entire issue would disappear.
At the exponential rate our population’s growing, we can’t really afford all of this excess societal clutter. Where are we going to find the food to feed everyone in 20 years or in 40 years? Where are they going to live? Do you think science is magically going to save you? That thing that all you zealots loathe? I say let the people who don’t want to or can’t properly raise children have abortions, otherwise the kids will live screwed up lives, turn 18 and go die in some obscure country for no reason anyway in a war religion’s okay with.
Let’s skip the mess and skip the war by cutting to the chase. Clearly, that’s the better alternative, and a better use of our limited resources. Jonathan Swift had the right idea: if the pro-lifers finally win and we can’t abort them, then throw another baby on the barbie!
