Did you know that doing a Flickr search for the word “douchebag” is incredibly educational?
Thank you for the useful medical information on your October 11th edition of “The Radio Factor”. I was unaware that pregnancy is completely safe and never, ever puts a woman’s life in danger, until I heard your expert opinion:
Since 1973, there have been 40 million legal abortions in the U.S.A., and it’s the law of the land, and it may not be the law of the land, unfettered, much longer because the Supreme Court’s hearing a whole bunch of stuff. South Dakota, as you know, has voted to outlaw abortions unless the mother’s life is in danger, which is never the case, because you can always have a C-section and do those kinds of things.
And in case we didn’t catch that the first time, you drove home the point:
Forty-five percent of Americans, according to a new CNN poll — 45 percent say all abortions should be outlawed unless the mother’s going to die — or catastrophic health consequences, which again, is never the case — never.
If I hadn’t listened to your program, I would have still been under the impression that diseases like preeclampsia and conditions like ectopic pregnancy actually existed. After all, all those doctors and clinics and government reports and scientific articles about these life-threatening illnesses are out there documenting the existence of these conditions, but I’m going to bet that it’s all a big conspiracy conducted by feminists to accomplish the twin goals of slutting it up and making Bill O’Reilly look stupid.
Now that I think about it, how could pregnancy be dangerous? You’d think it was a biological process happening inside a human organ, when everyone knows that women grow babies inside stainless steel basins tucked neatly inside their girl parts, which is mostly done to make the whole thing easier on men. Hell, sucking on a lollipop is probably more dangerous, due to the choking factor. (Which is much different than the O’Reilly Factor, which can make someone choke on their own vomit without even coming within 10 feet of it.)
I look forward to future installments of “The Radio Factor” that involve your ob-gyn expertise. Perhaps you can explain that menstruation is also a hoax put over on men by women, just so we can take a monthly break from the nightly falafel rubdown.
Your Number One Fan,
Amanda

Betcha Olbermann’s gonna have fun with this one.
Gad. I must tell Mom the whole near-death experience she had while giving birth to my sister was implanted in her head by aliens.
And a C-section is the ONLY kind of surgery which is perfectly safe and can never, ever result in complications!
Jesus. I’ve heard of men who can’t find the clitoris with a map, but O’Reilly is above and beyond.
please tell me you actually sent this note, please, pleasse, please… I want to see his head explode….
Not to mention my co-worker who, after having gestational diabetes, now has to have her gall bladder removed. And that only a month after giving birth.
Yes, a very good friend of my daughter’s just had her baby die inutero about a week before the scheduled delivery date. She went for her last appointment and the doctor couldn’t hear the heartbeat…she was rushed to the hospital and they put her into immediate labor. She was there struggling for almost 24 hours and finally her baby was born dead. Entire family was devasted.
Terrible things still happen to women and children due to birthing process…I myself was shocked as I had gotten so used to every birth having a successful outcome…but it reminded me that this is not always the case.
Plus look at this rapper on that reality show whose baby just died minutes after birth. Of course he’s been getting all the attention, never mind the poor mother and child, what they went through.
Women still risk much when deciding to have children…not to mention risking some sneaky dirtbag getting custody of your newborn, while trying to get out of paying child support…
So it’s not a risk-free zone for women and children here.
Well, the wingunuttiest Senator of all, Tom Coburn, delivers babies and he’s had to perform several abortions–I guess for the fun of it.
All that time I spent on bedrest was just a waste of time then since there was no danger from the preeclampsia because at any time they could have just given me a c-section and everything would be a-okay!
Delivering a baby is the usual and most effective way to cure preeclampsia. However, its not *always* effective. I had postpartum preeclampsia after my second birth. Three days after my son was born I was admitted to the ICU where I was put on a magnesium sulfate drip and we all *hoped* my blood pressure would regulate itself. It did, thank goodness but 4 years later I am still on medication (and had no hypertension prior to my pregnancy).
A friend had an otherwise normal and ordinary pregnancy and then had to have a c-section. Afterwards, she spent 10 days in the hospital waiting for her bowels to start up again (a side effect of any surgery).
There is so much about childbirth that is unknown and unpredictable. In medicine in general there are no absolutes. I honestly thought when I first read this post that it was a joke. No one could actually believe that pregnancy NEVER threatens a mother’s life.
Wow. Its not even possible to word how ignorant that statement is.
big conspiracy conducted by feminists to accomplish the twin goals of slutting it up and making Bill O’Reilly look stupid.
The latter certainly doesn’t require a conspiracy. It barely even takes a functioning brainstem.
NYMOM,
We nearly lost Augustlet at 16 weeks, 20 weeks, and were even worried at 26 weeks despite the possibilities of viability. Augustienne was hospitalized multiple times; none of them were presented to us as particularly dangerous to her life, but they don’t hospitalize for giggles, either.
A cousin, meanwhile, underwent a crash C-section, which I understand is just exactly as dangerous to both lives as it sounds.
I really, honestly thought that there was almost no way an anti-choicer could say something more disgusting than had been said but I was really, honestly wrong.
I actually sent this note.
I encourage everyone to write their own letters, following Media Matters strict “please be polite” policy.
Well, you know that all of Bill’s stats are independently (cough) verified by the Paris Business Review. So it must be true!
I had a family friend die a couple years ago during childbirth. And I’m only 23, how can O’Reilly not ever have encountered this??
My sister’s pregnancies were so problematic that she basicly was required to stay home for the last 6-months on each (they have 2 sons).
BTW, my sister is a trained and very experienced Labor & Delivery nurse…!
Casey - “how can O’Reilly not ever have encountered this??”
In Falafel/Loofa Land, the stork still makes deliveries, direct from God. Actual living women aren’t even involved in the process…
It’s interesting after that happened to my daughter’s friend, every woman I told about it was coming up with another story about either themselves or a relative/friend who had a horrifying or painful experience during childbirth…it’s almost like we are trained however not to repeat them to others unless directly asked.
I noticed it even when I had my own children…women were discouraged from talking about anything negative regarding childbirth. People, especially other women, would get annoyed at you if you did it.
The most common thing I heard women say regarding the pain of childbirth was, “oh you forget it very quickly”…
Really. I didn’t.
That’s why I think many men take it so lightly what women go through bearing children. Because we are encouraged for their comfort level not to dwell on it…
So we need to let the O’Reilly of the world know about this. It’s not a walk in the park as he thinks.
Right, because apparently we’d have such a serious decline in the birthrate if women knew the truth about pregnancy that the species would die out. Please. Women will put up with a lot for children. Otherwise everyone would be an only child. A friend was saying last night that she can’t believe that anyone is willing to go through pregnancy twice, and she and her husband are trying to have a second baby! She laughed as the words came out of her mouth.
Women are socialized not to talk about their bodies. Think of how many teenage girls in how many cultures thought they were ill upon first menstruating. Or how many women today cannot get accurate information from the women in their family about menopause. Another friend of mine is going through menopause now, about 15 years earlier than is typical. I asked her if that was normal in her family. She expressed her frustration at not being able to find out, as her mother won’t talk about her own history, her grandmother never talked about it while she was alive, and her sister won’t share whatever she might know, if anything, about other women in their family.
I really don’t like the idea of Bill O’Reilly giving my uterus or anything that looks like it any thought.
Lies and the lying liars, as if we didn’t know that already. (My spouse did that little thing where in 12 hours you go from feeling kinda poorly to a surgeon saying, “If we wait till morning to do the c-section, your fetus might be better off, but you probably won’t survive.” Perfectly safe indeed.)
And that’s even before the “So effing what if it’s safe, Bill? Bone marrow transplants and blood transfusions and skin-graft donations are perfectly safe, too, but you don’t see laws that tell everyone suitable donor to line up for the needle.” Oh, yeah, I forgot, punishment for women who have sex.
The man is simply an arrogant, insensitive bastard.
The only reason that I’m alive is because my mother was recumbent for much of my gestation. If she hadn’t been confined to bed for a few months, it’s unlikely that either of us would be alive.
From a more pro-life/anti-choice perspective than who usually comments here, getting rid of exceptions when the mother’s life in danger would be the greatest attack possible on the right to life and religious liberty. You are not just saying that the infant is a human being. You are saying that the infant deserves life more than its mother, which makes little public policy sense, even if it might satisfy the religious scruples of some. Frankly, I think women at least should have that choice. If you have no concerns about the fate of the infant’s soul, the only other justification would involve primogeniture and posthumous sons, not exactly a common situation in the 21st century US. (And frankly sick if it were ever an issue.)
He actually seems to have gone over from merely being an asshole to being somewhat crazy.
“From a more pro-life/anti-choice perspective than who usually comments here, getting rid of exceptions when the mother’s life in danger would be the greatest attack possible on the right to life and religious liberty.”
The mother’s life is potentially always in danger.
Visiting my mom in the hospital after she gave birth made an indelible impression on me. Nobody told me anything about what had happened, but I remember my first sight of her like it was yesterday, though I was only nine years old. I really do. She was paper-white and thin as a famine victim. She spent the next six months mostly lying in bed staring at the wall. I did everything for the baby but nurse her.
When I was thirteen she had an abortion. Was “her life in danger”? Not at that moment, no. Pre-eclampsia doesn’t rear its deadly head that early in pregnancy. Excuse my extremely harsh language, but f*ck anybody who says she shouldn’t have had that abortion because her f*cking life wasn’t in danger. They can completely and totally kiss my *ss.
Makes me wish I’d asked the hospital for the gore-soaked sheets I nearly bled out on - just so I could mail them to O’Reilly all special.
The man is simply profoundly ignorant.
I can safely say that pregnancy can “nearly” kill you. I experienced HELLP syndrome and preeclampsia at 35 weeks gestation in my second pregnancy. In less than 12 hours I went from feeling just fine to an emergency c-section, disseminated intravascular coagulation, blood pressures in stroke territory, cortical blindness, liver failure and ultimately acute tubular necrosis (aka kidney failure requiring dialysis). Happily with excellent medical care and a huge amount of luck my daughter and I left the hospital on the road to a complete recovery. I was receiving excellent prenatal care from a board-certified perinatologist (sheer coincidence), and it simply popped up out of the blue. I wasn’t even concious during the first three days of my illness, so it’s management was far beyond my control.
A year later I became pregnant unexpectedly. That is when my thoughts regarding choice were crystalized. I could continue the pregnancy and risk a repeat experience with a less happy outcome, or I could chose to terminate. The freedom to choose is what gives me my dignity and personhood.
A lingering after effect is clearly my inability to patrol my apostophes… oops.
So I guess my mother’s death from childbirth complications was just a figment of my family’s imagination then? How reassuring.
Maybe Bill would like to also dispense his vast medical knowledge to my co-worker, whose wife went into seizures during labor, and who nearly died. Must’ve just been a bad dream.
Perhaps Bill should go, say, to the families of the 4200 women who died as a result of pregnancy between 1991 and 1999 and tell them they were all just hallucinating.
Or perhaps he should humbly beg their forgiveness while we all ask the FCC why broadcasting dangerous falsehoods merits a license to use public airwaves. (or is the coward on cable only?)
He actually seems to have gone over from merely being an asshole to being somewhat crazy.
Oh, he crossed that particular Rubicon long ago.
This is also the man who not once but twice slandered American POWs who’d been slaughtered by the Nazis after being captured at Malmedy (Charles Durning was one of the few survivors) by stating unequivocally that it was the US engineering battalion who’d slaughtered their prisoners. The second time was after Keith Olbermann called him on it.
So, suffice to say, the lying, splotchy bully is not the most fact-based.
A while ago he also said that “the 24-hour day is science.”
It’s interesting after that happened to my daughter’s friend, every woman I told about it was coming up with another story about either themselves or a relative/friend who had a horrifying or painful experience during childbirth…it’s almost like we are trained however not to repeat them to others unless directly asked.
Well, yeah, and sometimes for good reason. You really don’t want to completely freak a pregnant woman out with all of the bad things that could, might, potentially happen. I do think that the happy talk should be dialed back a bit, but I don’t see any reason to tell every pregnant woman you meet that she’s probably gonna die.
When my best friend was pregnant with her second, we had a very serious talk right before she got the results from her amniocentisis (sp?) where she said that if they discovered that there was a serious problem with the fetus, she would probably terminate the pregnancy because she felt strongly that she wouldn’t be able to care for her other child as well.
I know there are probably a bunch of advocates for the disabled who would jump down her throat for that, but that’s not a decision that should be forced on anyone who happens to draw the short straw.
(And the baby was perfectly fine, and is perfectly adorable.)
This reminds me of the nuns who used to go around saying that women couldn’t get pregnant from rape because “the juices wouldn’t flow,” or something.
This is just an aside to his absurd comments but he also misrepresented the CNN poll (and why is he quoting cnn anyway thought they were so liberal?)He mentions the 45% but not the rest of the results:
“Would you favor or oppose a law in your state that would ban all abortions except those necessary to save the life of the mother?” 45% favor, 51% oppose
3% unsure. ”
Looks like the nays have it. The link media matters has gives a bunch of different polls on abortion all very close with the pro-choice crowd showing a slight edge. Nothing new.
TeaHag, you’re just confirming his thoughts. It’s hard but you both survive excellently and completely recovered..I’m glad he doesn’t read this.
Honestly, I think most women are okay with the pain. I have friends who tell me the most gruesome stories about this that and the other thing that happened during pregnancy or childbirth, but have several children, all planned. Postpartum amnesia, perhaps. I’m not talking about women who’ve had high-risk pregnancies with severe complications, BTW, just the run-of-the-mill pregnancy and childbirth stuff. And it sounds like even the least complicated pregnancy is about like an ironman triathlon for sheer suffering. And yet most women voluntarily get pregnant again. Either they’re all really dumb, or they all think babies are really cute. I’m inclined to go with Door #2. Even *I* find my ovaries twitching when I see a really adorable infant, and I definitely don’t want kids of my own. My theory is that cuteness is a defense mechanism designed to stop frustrated and sleep-deprived mothers from throwing the baby out the window or selling it on eBay. Because they’re a hell of a lot of work.
All that aside, yes, even these days women can get very ill and even die from pregnancy complications. My cousin had an abortion when a routine ultrasound revealed a cancerous tumour along with a healthy fetus. She was told that if she didn’t abort and get the cancer treatment, she might be able to carry to term, and she might survive, and the baby might survive, but she sure as hell wouldn’t ever be getting pregnant again. My mom had three miscarriages which involved severe haemmoraging, nearly died with two of the miscarriages, almost had to have a hysterectomy with hte last one, and was told by her doctor that she absolutely had to quit trying to get pregnant, or she was going to leave the kids she already had without a mother. He also told her that if she did get pregnant again, he would recommend she abort as it would be less dangerous than waiting for the haemmoraging to start. Fortunately for my siblings and me, her doctor was sufficiently convincing that she quit trying.
Bottom line, the human body is very poorly designed, and human women are far more likely than our ape cousins to die in childbirth. Apparently it’s because the relatively narrow pelvis is excellent for walking on two legs but lousy for giving birth, particularly since human newborns have huge heads. If we had bigger pelvises or babies had smaller brains, we wouldn’t have nearly so many problems. That’s what they say, anyhow. From an evolutionary point of view, the combination of small pelvises and big brains are sufficiently attractive that the human race continues to thrive even though a statistically significant minority of women are likely to die in childbirth. Sucks for those women, though, even if their sisters win the evolutionary lottery and prosper.
And even women who successfully carried to term and delivered were liable to have a few stillbirths over the course of their reproductive lives. Until modern medicine, there wasn’t a whole hell of a lot that could be done about pregnancy complications, and very little that could be done for the fetus. I know someone who’s studied the history of medical instruments (I don’t know WHY, but she did), and apparently there used to be lots of instruments whose purpose was to get the baby out, in pieces if necessary, in an attempt to save the mother’s life.
Did you know that the Duke of Norfolk at the time of Elizabeth I was married three times, and all three of his wives died in childbirth? I mean, what are the odds? That factoid always freaked me out.
Yeah, I read that O’Reilly bloviation in a local paper yesterday and noticed this too:
I believe Bill put it thusly, “45%! Nearly half the country!” And I remember thinking, “Uh…so what do the other 55% think? Because that’s more than half the country!“
Sea, I guess that you are right. However, in those moments there was only one approach, remove the placenta- the primary source of my problems. Basic biology requires that the fetus/baby comes too. No matter how sick I was, at 35 weeks of gestation my daughter had a reasonable expection of life and health.
On the other hand, women who develop early onset severe preeclampsia (with associated IUGR for their fetuses), face the identical situation as early as 20 weeks of gestation. Even with heroic management (usually not an option), the average time to delivery with preeclampsia is two weeks (see www.preeclampsia.org). There is no reasonable expection of life for the child at that point.
The irony of this is that many times this is a greatly desired pregnancy and its termination is both painful and traumatic, albeit lifesaving. Chosing life, if not in the way that Bill O’Reilly wants.
I’ve got asthma. I go through several doses of “emergency” medicines on an average day. I had a notion this would make pregnancy problematic if I wanted one, so I decided to look it up. The information I found said that the mere fact of pregnancy had an equal chance of lessening or worsening asthma. Pregnancy is not advisable if the asthma is not controlled.
Not really surprising. OTOH, the site I was reading didn’t even go into issues like “Who gets first priority if the body is struggling for oxygen, the mother’s heart and brain, or the fetus?” or “How do asthma attacks effect the development of a fetus?”
Obviously, when one starts from “unhealthy”, pregnancy becomes a more difficult and scary thing.
And didn’t the Catholic Church just canonize a woman who died from a tumor that could have been treated if she’d had an abortion? They honored her choice to put her baby before her own life– now O’Reilly is pretending she didn’t ever exist?
Not to forget even if the pregnancy is going perfectly it can still kill the mother. If I was pregnant, I’d be forced to come off the only brand of antidepressants that has ever stopped me being sucidal. Add in mood swings and I doubt I’d make it to the third trimester.
As to whether or not it’s possible to forget the pain, it’s my experience that one doesn’t forget it was painful but can gloss over, in one’s memory, just how damn painful it was (since you don’t run into anything in daily experience to compare; at least, most people don’t). When I was pregnant with my second I remember wondering if labor had been as bad as I seemed to sorta remember it was. It was. Luckily, being a second labor, it was only one-fourth as long.
I don’t know a whole lot of women who didn’t have some sort of dangerous complication from pregnancy (mine was anemia following miscarriage). Actually, I know one who didn’t, the woman who had the completely painless labor. I may have to kill her if she tells that story again, which would count as a complication, I suppose.
I suspect that id he even answers, he’ll just deny having said anything of the sort. (Then he’ll claim that he almost died giving birth)
There was a report today in the Oz papers on maternal mortality:
Nationwide, there were 95 maternal deaths between 2000 and 2002 including eight deaths that occurred up to a year after the end of the pregnancy and three deaths believed to be unrelated to the pregnancy.
Over the period, the ratio of maternal deaths for each 100,000 Australian women who gave birth was 11.1 per cent compared with 8.4 per cent for each 100,000 women who gave birth in the previous period from 1997-1999.
Institute perinatal statistics unit director Elizabeth Sullivan said that the increase was primarily a result of improved reportings of deaths and changes in the classification of some deaths.
The most common causes of maternal deaths were from infection, cardiac disease, amniotic fluid embolism, psychiatric and haemorrhage.
The mortality rate is about 5 times higher for indigenous women than for other Australian women.
This, of course, is why O’Reilly is so entertaining. He is so confident, so sure of himself, so arrogant and, often, so wrong.
I still can’t figure out why Air America can’t find people this entertaining to promote their viewpoint. There are other reasons for their demise, but the biggest problem is that they are so frequently NOT entertaining. (Sorry for OT comment).
because you can always have a C-section and do those kinds of things.
Yes, because a c-section is such a simple procedure. I was on medication for pregnancy-induced hypertension (which can lead to the wonderful condition Amanda already mentioned called preeclampsia), and at 37 weeks had to go through an emergency c-section due to fetal distress. While my daughter had a tough road to hoe for the first couple of weeks, I was fortunate to recover quickly. Nevertheless, a c-section is not under any circumstances an easy procedure that someone should go into lightly. It is major abdominal surgery, with the same kinds of complications that can result from any other surgery where anesthesia is involved. The chances of having a vaginal birth after c-section are distressingly low, and are often not encouraged by doctors, especially if the first one was caused by pregnancy-related medical issues. Does this shitbag do any kind of research at all before he smears that kind of garbage around?
What a thoroughly offensive, stupid thing to say. Will this man EVER recognise that he is, in fact, really thick?
Pregnancy is the most dangerous thing a woman with bipolar disorder can do, pretty much - the risks of psychosis and suicide both rocket. Funny that Professor Bill had never heard of that.
Libertarian - I think AA is constrained by the fact that in order to be as entertaining as O’Reilly you have to be completely indifferent to the facts, and that’s hard for a liberal to do (though Malloy comes close).
Afterwards, she spent 10 days in the hospital waiting for her bowels to start up again (a side effect of any surgery). - kat
It’s also, IIRC, a possible side-effect of child-birth, even if no surgery is involved.
And didn’t the Catholic Church just canonize a woman who died from a tumor that could have been treated if she’d had an abortion? They honored her choice to put her baby before her own life– now O’Reilly is pretending she didn’t ever exist? - Samantha Vimes
This is what Jews who think they are pro-life do not get. The so-called pro-life people, even if they are willing to have exceptions in their anti-abortion laws for the life of the mother, tend to still think sacrificing your life for the life of your fetus is an admirable thing to do. In Judaism, it happens to be a big sin! Of course, a woman in such a situation would be considered not have sinned because of the duress of having to kill her fetus rather than die (akin to why suicide is not considered a sin, when the person who commits suicide is at least as “distressed as Saul”) … but still, these Jews who think they are pro-life simply cannot imagine that anyone would even celebrate someone who gave up her life for a fetus.
Anyway, would the Christian pro-life crowd be ok with an abortion law derived from Judaism which mandates that a woman have an abortion when her life is in danger from the pregnancy? Of course, this would never happen even if a traditionally Orthodox Jew were allowed to draft an abortion law no questions asked: for various reasons Jewish law considers the requirement to have an abortion when one’s life is endangered by a pregnancy to only be incumbent on Jews. Still, this is the sort of thing that they should realize can happen when morality is used too closely to make laws: one persons moral paragon is another’s grave sinner. It’s better the law be amoral than to try and enforce morality and get it wrong and thus enforce immorality.
On another note, having read the linked smoking-gun pages, WHAT IS THE STORY WITH THE REPUGS HAVING SUCH F*CKED UP SEX LIVES? And how about the fact that nine times out of ten these guys are married while they are carrying on like this? I mean, is there any documatation on Democrats or Independents having as skewed a vision of sex and relationships as these guys?
On a related note–what makes this guy think that any woman would want a loofah on her suzy? Is this guy out of his mind, or has he never had sex with a woman with a thought of her own? Because if somebody ever tries that with me, I will bite him. I swear.
I’ve never had a life threatning pregnancy complication, but I have had a couple that severely compromised my health. With my daughter, I got Bell’s Palsy at 36 weeks, which paralyzed half of my face. It’s more common in pregnant women b/c of the weakened immune system. I still have residual effects in one of my eyes (it doesn’t close when it should all the time and tends to water a lot) and my mouth (my smile tends to be sort of crooked, because one side of my mouth won’t curl up like it’s supposed to) and it’s been over 2 years. With my second pregnancy, I had no amniotic fluid and pre-term labor that could have been life threatning if my son hadn’t been born very early and with my third pregnancy my blood pressure dropped to very dangerous levels during and after labor and I ended up falling down/fainting a couple times in addition to losing excessive blood. My first son was delivered at 27 weeks because of the risks to my health and my concerns wrt his well being (he had a fatal defect and was showing signs of distress). I hate Bill O’Reilly.
Anyway, would the Christian pro-life crowd be ok with an abortion law derived from Judaism
You can stop right there and have the answer be ‘no’. The Christian pro-life crowd’s understanding of what the Bible (et al) really say about abortion is nil, and their interest in Judaism starts and stops at making sure the Jews are converted in the End Times.
Libertarian, it’s far less entertaining when you realize he has a large audience and pull. One lone nut can be entertainingly awful. A powerful nut is a threat.
Yeah, right, C-sections are a really safe alternative to abortion. Hello, my cousin nearly died on the operating table because the OB sliced the placenta while doing her C-section. One of my friends nearly died during her crash C-section and her baby died before they could get her out. Another friend nearly died during her crash C-section and her baby was in NICU for three months. My boss’s first wife died while in recovery from her C-section. One of my coworkers nearly died from eclampsia two days before her scheduled C-section. Please tell me again, Mr. O’Reilly, how the health of the mother is never an issue.
You know, when I had my abortion I remember it being a lighthearted day. My husband (Boyfriend at the time) and I skipped past the woman infront of the clinic, making sure to ignore her iquiry about the rosary in his car or if we knew that abortions caused breast cancer. PUHLEEEZE…I didn’t need her raining on my abortion parade.
When we walked into the waiting room it was like a surprise party all for me. We sat there laughing and joking in the front office the entire time. I think I even remember dancing with another girl that was over the moon at getting her first abortion. I cannot tell you how much fun I had that day. I cannot WAIT for my next one.
Re: Remember South Dakota?…
wow. bill o’reilly is a fuck.
http://pandagon.net/2006/10/17/the-buns-could-……
Could someone sue that man for practicing medecine without a license or a brain?
I may have been one of the lucky ones with silent labour (which they don’t tell you about in any of the medical texts that I had available the day I delivered) but I have plenty of friends with plenty of horror stories from three days in full labour to strokes to permanent hip displacement. The potential threats in pregnancy start from conception and grow with the child. I should know because EVERY woman I met told me their stories from the moment my pregnancy showed and I was working retail at the time. If I were Bill O’Reilly’s mother I would disown him.
Does this shitbag do any kind of research at all before he smears that kind of garbage around?
That’s the great thing about being such an outrageous liar - it is better for you to NOT do any research, lest evidence of said research makes it easier for people to sue you later.
I have got to get Bill’s new book. His kid’s book was such a peek at his psyche, I felt like I was peeking through his bathroom curtians just reading the thing.
No, it starts and ends at making sure the Anti-Defamation League doesn’t mount a campaign comparing them to the Nazis based on their anti-Semitism and general fanaticism.
MissRed, you might want to be careful with that statement some irony-challenged pro-lifer might come by, see it and take it as the Lord’s full truth, that these here feminists actually have parties when they go to abort the baaybeeeeeez.
because, as bill o’reilly has taught us, there are never any complications to the health or life of the mother and as south dakota doctors have pointed out, abortion is only used as birth control (and for fun).
seriously though, i sometimes wonder what kind of world unruh and her crew see in their dreams.
“accomplish the twin goals of slutting it up and making Bill O’Reilly look stupid”
Thank you for helping me find my new personal mission statement.
Casey:
I had a family friend die a couple years ago during childbirth. And I’m only 23, how can O’Reilly not ever have encountered this??
Because Bill O’Reilly doesn’t actually know any women.
Also, no one who died in childbirth called in to correct him, so he must be right.
BO’R and fans need to read this article
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/061009fa_fact
before they go on about the ease of childbirth.
