I Told You They Don’t Care About Fetuses

It’s funny how everybody is so surprised that Scott DesJarlais, an anti-choice politician, has been caught pushing his mistress to get an abortion. Come on, folks, you didn’t honestly think anybody among the anti-choice crowds gives a crap about fetuses, did you? Surely, you can’t be that naive.

Any anti-choice position (especially if it isn’t accompanied by a push for free contraception, good pre-natal care and daycare facilities) is not about fetuses at all. It is about hating women and wanting to control them.

  1. Thus an old aphorism is proven true: A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. A liberal is a conservative with a pregnant teenage daughter (or in this case, mistress)

    1. Not really. A genuinely liberal reaction would be to allow the woman in question to make her own choice freely. Approving, or not approving of abortion is not what makes one conservative or liberal – it’s whether or not you try to control the choices of others.

      1. Umm… No. It’s easy to sit and hate on abortion, until the “need” for one came back to hit him in the gut.

        Just like it’s easy to sit and talk about the need for humane treatment of criminals, against mandatory punishment, and gun-control. Until you’re the one being dragged into an alley.
