Abortion: ‘Men’s Best Friend’
I’m borrowing my title from the punchline of Dennis Prager’s latest piece about Dobbs and the difference in sexual natures between men and women. Is it too late for a Spoiler Alert?
I confess, I’ve taken my eye off the ball of saving babies to revel in the feminist leftwing lunacy on display.
I mean, honestly, what’s not to LOL at singularly unattractive women threatening to forgo sexual intercourse? I suppose there are singularly unattractive men who will be disappointed… For about two weeks, max.
Does this mean “abstinence” is no longer a dirty word? You know, like when pro-lifers wanted it taught in sex-ed classes to their children (sidebar: public education shouldn’t be in the business of teaching about sex anyway! It already sucks at teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic)
And speaking of words, I think we need to define some terms:
- abstinence is refraining from doing something. Like some Catholics who refrain from eating meat on Fridays. So pro-aborts are threatening to abstain from intercourse unless they actually want to make a baby. Geeze, if only pro-lifers had thought of that.
- celibacy is when you refrain from sexual relations and you’re unmarried. So, rbecky69420, who posted, “I’m entering my celibacy era,” probably didn’t mean it. She’s probably already unmarried. Plenty of women who seek abortions are unmarried. They’re fornicators, but they’re “celibate.” Only roughly 15% of women who seek out abortion are married.
- chastity is a moral step up from all of the above and even married couples who have intercourse and are open to new life are “chaste.” Chastity is the (morally) proper use of one’s sexual faculties. For a celibate priest, that means abstaining from sexual activity of any kind. Sex within marriage has the purpose of both procreation and attaching husband and wife to each other. Particularly husbands to their wives and to the children they produce, when their sexual nature would have them spread their seed around. Which is why same-sex marriage is such a farce. There’s no chance of children being produced, so the attachment between the two men or two women isn’t all that consequential to society, even if it’s “nice” for the couple.
This is the Big Lie of feminism and the sexual revolution, generally. Men and women are different in their natures, sexual and otherwise. Abortion is poison for women (sometimes literally) and a huge gift to sexually irresponsible and predatory men.
Women can’t have consequence-free sex, either biologically or emotionally. Turns out, women are made to be mothers and, once they are, they need men to be supportive of them in that role. Which is why I find pro-abort activist men so icky, even if Meghan Markle thinks they need to “be more vocal.”
“These are decisions that affect relationships, families, and communities at large,”
I think I just said that, Meghan, you ignorant slut.
Abortion liberates men from taking responsibility for the women they impregnate. Duh. Women would be so much better off if we were cherished and supported for the gift Nature (and her God) has given us of mothering the next generation. And the men who do that? They need to be honored and appreciated, too.

Who says Americans stopped being innovators?
PLEASE I just want to see one abortion tent in a national park. They freaking have to do this with AOC at the opening. lol
FYI, Ann Coulter says that the ruling is going to reduce abortions by 150,000. I think that’s out of 650,000. I haven’t seen any pushback on it.
Oh, I think it’s closer to a million plus every year. And I’m not sure the chemical abortions even get counted.
I’ve seen that figure as well. I forget the name of the group, but they have a different way of doing it.
Because it’s all centralized to Planned Parenthood the amount of overhead, lobby billing, and executive salaries is extremely high. When you use that one million figure it’s just incredible. I don’t have the slightest idea of how RU-486 changes it. Supposedly the Minnesota Senator, Tina Smith, took millions out of it.
What could go wrong?
Oh, yeah …
I strongly favor the abortion tent because the odds are so high that the publicity will go sideways really fast. lol Ridiculous. They could have Smoky Bear hats. lol
We need a gif for the bison surrounding the tent.
