You believe that when they are confronted with a child under the age of consent and pregnant, the reason they do not obey the law and report that they suspect the child is a victim of sexual abuse but instead destroy the DNA evidence — the reason is — what? They don’t realize that pregnancy in a child is evidence of sexual abuse?

If it isn’t intentional, they should be locked up with other people lacking the mental capacity to function in society.

If you are trying to convince me that hundreds of millions of dollars given by the Catholic church aren’t meant to protect child rapists i dont know what it is.. One of my professors told me a story the other day that when there was an allegation at her church they just moved the priest to another church.. Don’t blatantly lie and say that this is not the truth and is not an egregious and repeated pattern in the catholic church. Don’t you think at least a dollar of your donations have gone to those settlements? Face it, they have. However I must add, no institution is perfect and mistakes of those within it don’t necessarily destroy the value of the mission of that particular institution. I must go study now..

I dont feel sorry for you Elizabeth, nor should you feel sorry for me. I just dont understand wher eyou think you get off passing judgment on me but you get outraged when I do the same to you. You think you know me!!!!

Now, what did I post to provoke that?

Why, a parody of Lauren’s own post.

She seems confused. I’m a parodist. Lauren, by her own argument, is a psycho.

Lauren—

A few things:

First, you realize, don’t you, that you just admitted that Planned Parenthood protects child rapists? (They do, of course; we’ve known that for years. But it’s not a little troubling to see you so casually dismiss this fact.)

Second, do you have knowledge of any child rapists currently being protected by a Catholic church? If so, call the police immediately and report it. If not, would you be so good as to retract your calumnious comment?

Third, you’ve just proven Anderson’s Corollary to Godwin’s Law (also known as the reductio ad pedophilium):

“It would go something like this: ‘As a debate involving the Catholic Church (either a discussion about the Church specifically, or a discussion in which the Church is taking a position) grows longer, the probability of someone mentioning the sex scandal approaches one.’

“And then there’s its corollary: ‘Once such reference to the Scandal is made, whoever mentioned the Scandal has automatically “lost” whatever debate was in progress…’”

Sweetie, don’t feel sorry for me..I don’t feel sorry for myself. I am a strong, independent mother doing it all for my daughter..giving her the best that she rightly deserves. She smiles all the time and loves life more than anyone I’ve ever seen. Not because of the things I give her..but because of the mother I am. And she gets to do that because I was not a selfish little brat who only thought of myself. Going Christmas shopping doesn’t make me selfish or materialistic. All the toys my daughter doesn’t play with anymore will be donated to kids who don’t have any…being materialistic means you value THINGS over people. If my daughter wasn’t here because I was dumb and selfish, things would mean nothing to me..but they don’t even mean that much to me now. Not compared to the little girl I get to cuddle with every night cause she just can’t sleep in her own bed. Don’t pretend to know anything about me. You only wish you could know me or what it takes to be a WOMAN like me. Don’t be so envious hunny, green isn’t a good color on you.

I do view my donation to PP as a moral one. Hopefully they’ll keep one girl from getting pregnant. I think that is a great holiday gift myself. And by the way my gifts every year to my family is a dnation to the charity of their choice. I give way more than most at my age. Don’t lecture me on my charitable choices. And also, I don’t value materialism on Christmas like I’m sure you do.

And how ignorant you are to assume that ALL catholic churches have child rapists in them. There aren’t any child rapists at my church..and I know all the priests/clergy personally…but you really are a silly,irrational girl so I expect nothing less.

Ah well. Though I see no reason why you would want to, Lauren you can give PP your money so they can go on destroying lives and we can continue to protest. Everybody happy?

I love free speech and that is why I am on this site. DUH. No one said you couldn’t blab all day long about what you wanted. In the meantime though, abortion is and will remain my constitutional and MORAL right to my body.

“Why not give money to buy toys for kids who have none for christmas? Or to feed people who will go hungry this Thanksgiving?? Noooo…you would rather give money to protect child molesters and baby killers.”

I do not hate anything or anyone…I do not hate that your body is not a vessel..My body isn’t a vessel and I have actually had a baby. YOU seem to think that carrying a baby means you are a vessel. How’s THAT for valuing women’s bodies. You seem to think that there is something wrong with wanting to be pregnant or having a baby. Bringing life into the world is one of the MOST empowering experiences a woman can go through. I don’t know how ending life is powerful but you PC people seem to justify it as such.

Oh and by the way…have you decided to donate your money to a worthwhile cause? How about those kids with no toys for Christmas? NO..okay..see I knew you couldn’t do it..you can’t even answer my ORIGINAL question. You went all ranty about your “rights” and such. And as for me…all the toys my daughter doesn’t play with anymore will be going to kids who don’t have any. How’s THAT for helping people? Some children will be happy now because they have toys to play with.

Maybe you should turn off the computer and try doing something for someone else for a change. Like helping a single, pregnant mom. Oh wait, that’s right, they’re just “vessels.”
