Just briefly noted last night that The Beast Who Wears Bangs had made an obnoxious fool of herself blaming pro-lifers for the heinous crimes of Kermit Gosnell, but even I didn’t really expect that she would be so eager to double down on bloodthirsty stupidity:
Man, the feeding frenzy over Gosnell is a sobering reminder of how much hatred there is out there towards women.

In this rhetorical formulation, the normal and expected reaction to pregnancy is to seek an abortion, so that “women” exist only insofar as they are defined by their right to abortion choice.

Must be, or you wouldn’t hate me.
I don’t care about you enough to hate you, dear heart. I just think you’re a waste of resources.
Women have been having abortions literally since the beginning of time – legal, illegal or otherwise. So, when was this idealized time of yours, again?
Totally. Rape victims should always carry a condom, you know, just in case.
Tell me more, hater.
LOL, you’re adorable.
Mm-hm.
