Keeping your baby is so hot right now

Katha Pollitt from The Nation drops some mad wisdom on this whole teens and babies thing that is so hot right now due to this and this.

Meanwhile, the LAT has this story about abortion's effect on men. Really? Really. Apparently this is the hot thing now with the anti-choice assholes. Killing baby fetus humans hurts men, too. Boo hoo. Where do I begin with this one? Should I start with the picture that shows one of the subjects of the article and his long, curly mullet?

Maybe the part about the men praying at a church counseling session where they are instructed to picture their aborted children playing in a meadow with Jesus. OR maybe I can point out that all the men featured in the article got multiple women pregnant and yet none of them talk about how stupid they were for not using birth control in the first fucking place.

I could mention tons of other shit, but this...this little diddy has to sum it all up:

"In the end, Aubert says his moral objection to abortion always wins. If he could go back in time, he would try to save the babies.But would his long-ago girlfriends agree? Or might they also consider the abortions a choice that set them on a better path?Aubert looks startled. "I never really thought about it for the woman," he says slowly."


Exactly.
