Among all the hysterically stupid arguments of the anti-choicers, this is my favorite:
Yesterday, during an appearance on Fox News, Republican Texas Governor and total garbage nightmare Rick Perry said that Wendy Davis should be grateful her mother did not abort her because “[y]ou never know who’s going to be considered to be an extraordinary individual.” It was a compliment, he explained.
This reminded me of a “Smile! Your mother chose life!” bumper sticker N. and I saw on the road recently. We both dissolved in laughter and almost caused an accident.
The stupidity of these people is such that they never stop to consider that they have no idea what choices any individual woman made in order to make the pregnancy that resulted in birth possible. She could have had a dozen abortions which enabled her to make the choice to give birth to Davis, Perry, me, or you. We might all very easily owe our existence to any number of fetuses stepping out of the way for us.
This is why I propose a new bumper sticker: “Smile! Anti-choicers are so stupid that they have lost their cause already.”

There are people in this country, including those in positions of power, who support the stance of the Chilean government:

We can never ever be complacent. Stupidity, callousness, and power co-exist comfortably.

Latin American machismo is absolutely horrific. LatAm countries are light years behind even the US in terms of feminism. They are still waiting for their first feminist revolution, and here we’ve had several already.

This same argument is used by natalists.
