Kathleen Parker lies about abortion
Her latest editorial is full of the usual forced birther boilerplate. What disturbs me most about this one is how she casually slips this in:

Indeed, the majority of PBAs are performed on the healthy babies of healthy women.

This is a vivid illustration of just how much women are loathed in some corners, in case you'd forgotten. Parker being a woman herself makes no difference. We are stupid, heartless trollops who will dispatch with 8 month fetuses at the drop of a hat, apparently. And we easily find doctors who will perform the procedure on our healthy fetuses. Thankfully, there were 5 musty old white religious men on the SCOTUS to stop us!

Fuck you Kathleen Parker.

1. I believe Kathleen Parker should
never get fucked again.

She has been such a self-hating woman for so long.

I wonder....do women like her have so little control over their own lives that they feel this desperate need to control other women's lives??? It's as if she has some sort of psychological problem that requires she oppress others...to force her will on others.

But she knows damn well she can't do it to men (father issues??? or just good ol' social brainwashing as a child) so she just harps on women. She's like Anita Bryant...who waged wars on gays but we find out later her husband was a closet case.

I never read what this women writes....but we all have to step up to the plate with LTTE to counter her damn lies. GRRRRRR.

2. ......

That was great and so true. I never understood the desire to tell other women what to do. If it's not my uterus it's not my business and I couldn't care less what other women do reproductively. Maybe if I was on the losing end of a controlling relationship I'd want to control others in a way that my controller felt was acceptable (controlling other women).

3. I've wondered about her upbringing....
a strict Catholic home? An overpowering father? She definitely has problems.

I believe she is married...and has sons, no daughters (which is probably good).
