While we're on desperately contentious, explosively emotional topics, why not mention abortion: everyone's favorite party-killer. My wife Dawn, who does not back away from fulminating volcanoes, is tackling the subject again:

Seriously. I am as hawkish and fiscally conservative as the next right-winger, but good G*ddamn, these Christian Coalition fruitcakes won't get the hint. I do not now, or ever in the future, feel that ANYONE, other than me, myself and fucking I, have the right to decide what goes on in my uterus.

I am not an abortion nazi, I don't want to go around indiscriminately performing them on perfectly happy pregnant people, but JEEBUS, why is it Their Fight? Their Cause? Their War?
Babies are dying all over the globe due to malnutrition, mistreatment, poor genetics, GOD's Will even. Why are they ONLY interested in what's going on in my womb, YOUR womb, her womb? WHY? I have never, ever, ever heard a good argument for this cause.

I posted about the uproar the "religious right" have over the Planned Parenthood of America's recent Pro-Choice campaign. Many thoughtful comments from lots of dudes. Who knew men were so interested in pregnancy and babies and crap. Geez. It's really shocking to me that there are JUST SO MANY MATERNAL MEN WHO CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEIR HANDS ON BABIES.

Not just their own. But all those little eggs hanging out in every ovary across the globe. Little potential lives that men, who are most certainly wonderful, caring, responsible, thoughtful, considerate and NEVER judgmental - want to care for.

Hmm.....why is it then, that almost all the unfortunate women I know, who have been in the sad predicament of chosing between having a baby and not having a baby, were LEFT COMPLETELY ALONE to make that decision. Where were these Oh, So, Considerate, Progressive men?

KNOW OF ONE MAN and ONE MAN ONLY who has taken that responsibility on himself [not me, by the way - I'm lumped in with all the other scum]. All alone. Go read about it men. Cause he is a real man, taking real responsibilities. That means: no fucking everything that moves, spending your money on beer, whore, strippers, drugs, golf clubs, football games, ANYTHING other than your child. It means sacrificing your time, your very life for that child's well-being.
