“Pregnancy is one of the few things that men obviously can not do,” says Jess2. The men I know are proud of impregnating women, whether or not they want to take responsibility for resulting offspring. It’s purblind to pretend that only women are responsible for increasing the population.

Others are different. I won’t ever hold a baby no how, no way. They have those little porcelain heads and frail birdy necks. And I sure as (baby) shit won’t change a diaper, ever. Halleluja!

I say godbags should not avail themselves of infertility technology because if you can’t have a child the “normal” way, clearly it’s the deity’s will that you have none.

Fun Catholic fact o’ the day: Catholics are not supposed to get infertility treatment.

In a culture where one’s biological fact of being female didn’t automatically mean all she exists for is to fuck men and make babies, many fewer women would choose to have babies.

You think? I don’t know. People like babies, and they like kids. I think just as many women would choose to have babies, but they would be like men are now - parents and people. Maybe even more women would have babies, and more babies, since they would be human instead of incubators.

I wish we could lighten up. So what you get pregnant, you have an abortion, BFD.

I don’t see the same hand-wringing by women who get in vitro fertility treatment, even though it ends up creating way more embryos than can be used, and therefore most of them DIE.

No, it’s only when we get preggers the normal way that it’s a shameful thing.

Yeah my abortion was the result of unprotected sex. I finally decided not to be ashamed. For a lot of women, no birth control is ideal, sometimes abortion is the best method. Yes, abortion as a method of birth control, I see nothing wrong if we’re also killing embryos in labs.

Maybe if we quit all this guilt we could be happier in our wonderful skins.

I think the real reason I didn’t put my little bundle of screaming id out on the curb with the recycling was that I’d put so much effort (time, energy, vomit, needles, drugs, ER visits, hospital stays, bedrest etc.) into getting her out of me alive. It would have been such a waste, not to mention inhumane, to let anything befall my Bunny after all that pain and hard work. Add a mature sense of personal responsibility and Bunny was secure, which a relief to the rest of my family since otherwise I DO NOT HAVE A MATERNAL BONE IN MY BODY.

Besides, when she wasn’t screaming and shitting she was pretty cute: A one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable human being who deserved to be brought up well, so I kept her and found competent, certified daycare to prevent/undo any damage I might do by attempting to raise her myself.

I’d only call this “biology” in the sense that selfish interest is inherent to our species.
