This country is facing a desperate shortage of primary care/general practitioner doctors but the primary reason isn’t abortion, it’s the income difference between them and their specialist co workers. If the government were to set up a tax break for primary care docs this wouldn’t be an issue.

Have there really been 48 million abortions in this country?

I love how you can tell the Times leans left – they print letters from both sides, but the letters they print from conservatives are the really stupid ones. :D

But seriously, running out of people???

Wanted kids suck because their parents aren’t good stern parents like those in the past who bore their punishment children righteously.

Maybe they envy kids who know they were wanted.

Excuse all the typos, I just re-read the comment. I’m back on flextime and I’ve had no sleep…

Have you heard RH Reality Check’s podcast by Amanda Marcotte in which she talks about fetus singing to mommy don’t abort me songs? Its a really good one. She points out that fundies love to transfer their anxieties about their snowflakey unique existence onto these few globs of cells. If you allow women to control their fertility, then they (this special special person writing the mommy don’t abort me song or the fundie buying that song) might not have mad it onto this earth to be that special, unique individual he/she is, golly gee. Anyway, in that letter, I feel like this lady seems to think that American has gone to hell in a handbasket because every one of those 48 million missing babies was going to cure cancer and damnit, by giving women choices, all we’ve ended up with is a generation of wanted children who are spoiled and not fully realizing the potential of their dead brothers and sisters who were good and unique and special. Wanted kids suck because their parents aren’t good stern parents like those in the past who bore their punishment children righteously. I don’t know, maybe I’ve gone a little over here, but I do think that there’s a lot of projection and transference going on in that letter and in the general mentality of those who love to blame abortion FOR EVERYTHING THAT’S GONE WRONG SINCE 1973.

That is one of the WORST Letters to the Editor. Elinor Hite is an extremist. BTW, I have posted the two best letters from the same topic.

It sounds like she’s channeling Mike Huckabee, though she forgot to mention how illegal immigrants our now taking the jobs of our “aborted workforce.”

On a more “I had time to kill” note, Elinor Hite rearranged is “Holier Ten I”, which if you say out loud, just about sums up what she thinks of you.

I had a childhood friend post something terrible today on Facebook. He used the recent arrest of the man having Simpsons child porn as a way to make ANOTHER point about how abortions are wrong and fetuses are life. It really killed all the sweet memories I have of us playing together when we were kids. This post helped me out today. You always are the best at taking the piss out of people trying to make arguements against women and even better at out-smarting those foolish enough to argue your points. Thank you.

I have nothing else to add that Cara didn’t already say.

Just…wow…the stupid burns.
