Aug. 31st, 2008 02:53 pmI've figured out why the fawning over Palin having a downs baby bugs me. The implication, nay, full on saying, that she went ahead and had this baby knowing it was disabled because she's so damn prolife, implies that only those who believed abortion was WRONGO would ever have a disabled baby. That just seems really devaluing and horrible. I'm prochoice as hell, but if I found out during a wanted pregnancy that the baby was "imperfect" that wouldn't change it to an unwanted pregnancy.
I just get a vibe like "Look! I'm so prolife I'll even have a *disabled baby*!! You prochoicers would have killed him!@" which pisses me off,
then again, I'm just rging pissed off in general due to the bullshit in MN, and my shoulder having gone out again, so I can't use my left arm, or move my head.
so, I got some anger, but thanks to the crazy pills, it stays directed where it should, not at those around me.
