YEAH! I'm a survivor of the American Holocaust! IT IS MY DUTY TO SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE THAT DIEDDDD!

No......

Me? No, I? A survivor? Yes, because HUNDREDS of my sisters and brothers died without a voice! I MUST SPEAK FOR THEM!

MENSTRAUTION IS A CRIME, DAMMIT! scream

Ah-hem. Anyways....

I think that the REAL American Holocaust should be BACK-ALLEY ABORTION!

And Dr. Frank's Home Abortion Kit.

I mean, the Holocaust involved the killing of innocent people that weren't hurting anyone and just minding their own business, tra-la-la.... And now they're DEAD!



RANT AHEAD: PRO-LIFERS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN FROM QUOTING THIS AND PUTTING IT OUT OF CONTEXT.

"You, le Chat, are a SURVIVOR OF THE AMERICAN HOLOCAUST!"

Personally, I think that that is a rather large insult to me. I'm my mother and father's daughter, their lovely little girl. I'm not some unwanted zygote that no one was ready for, least of all my parents.

Whenever someone says that I'm a survivor of the American Holocaust, I'm kinda insulted.

I mean... You're saying that I'm.... I'm....

ARRRRGGG!

Excuse me, but my birth was anticipated with glee by my family and relatives, if you don't mind. My mother didn't dread me.

ETC.

Anyways....

DISCUSS, DAMMIT!

My mother tried to abort me. But not how you'd think. She actually made my dad punch her. By putting A gun in his face and threatening him if he didn't. Thankfully I survived. But I recieved A bit of brain damage...

I don't think my dad recovered though. gah. i can't say anymore.

I'm actually going to ask my mother if I was planned or not. I tend not to ask her about stuff like that, I don't want to remind her of living with my father. But I'm curious dammit!

American Holocaust? ******** sick. They invoke Godwin's every time they do s**t like that. They fail at life.

I was planned. So was my older sister. My mom, after finally getting my dad to marry her, got pregnant right away (she was 34) because she wanted children before she got too old.

My mother is a conservative and considers herself pro-life. When the doctor told her she had an ectopic pregnancy, though, NOT aborting it was never considered.

During the procedure, the doctor realized he'd messed up. It wasn't ectopic after all. He was convinced that the trauma of the procedure would cause a miscarriage anyway. He and my mother waited. Nothing happened.

He was then sure that the drugs used during the procedure would cause permanent mental or physical defects to the baby if carried to term, and advised abortion anyway. She refused.

And I was born, and I have no mental defects. I'm told I have very small toes, but I'm pretty sure they're not small enough to qualify as a physical defect. I'm a survivor, but not of any holocaust. I survived some doctor's fouled up predictions about a pregnancy.

I was planned. The only one of my mother's four child who was (though all were wanted, my sister and brothers were just suprises).

But I am a surviver. When I was 15, my (now)ex-step-father gave me an abortion with a coat hanger. The chances of not dying from that are not very good, really. And I thought for sure that I would.

So if we want to talk about surviving abortion, let's face it, I did. And really, which is more tragic, the death of a fetus that I wasn't able to take care of (whose father raped and abused me on a daily basis from the ages of 12 to 16) or the near death of me (who was born and breathing, and effected the lives of other born humans)?

I was "planned", in the sense my parents wanted one child - a boy. So, I'm planned but not planned if that makes sense.

I dont' care what it is: abortion, raising animals for food, mowing the lawn, fungicide... It cannot touch the Holocaust. Anyone who compares something that ISN'T the deliberate genocide and torture of an ethnic group is stupid, wrong, and heartless.

Comparisons to the Holocaust fall flat. People need to stop using them.

I think I was an accident. I know for a fact my dad didn't want me to be born (And I quote, "If Sara and Amy weren't born, I'd be rich right now.") and my mom said I was wanted. Still, I can't be too sure.Anyone else find it ironic my name means "Beloved" in French?
I'm not sure if this counts, but I was sent to the E.R. shortly after I was born. Something about breathing in something I wasn't supposed to

I was somewhat planned... As far as I know, my parents wanted a baby, but I don't think they wanted to conceive one two months after they where married razz At least i THINK it was two months tops, since some nasty familly menbers on my dad's side where saying that mom got pregnant before she was married...

I'm pretty sure I was planned, but my parents I mean, my MOM, wanted LOTS OF BOYS because she's crazy sexist like that and thinks that boys are better than girls.

I think this has to do with the fact that she was sexually abused as a kid by men that her mom used to bring home. Anyways, she kept this diary for about two years of my life about EVERYTHING that I did each day and went on and on about how I was SOOO smart and all that. It was really entertaining, because I guess I was pretty ok as a baby, but it's interesting to see how little of a personality I had. I really wasn't "me" for a long time.

My mom always wanted babies, though, unfortunately she wanted them to stay babies FOREVER, which didn't happen. She seems to have gotten it a little bit by now, that she can't have us be babies forever (now she's pestering me about having babies myself..>_>), but I am happy that she's finally turned her "I want kids" mode to being a kindergarten teacher.

My mom is definately pro-life. She told me once that she had a dream that I had gotten pregnant by some boyfriend I used to go out with. She was going on and on about how "proud" she was in the dream that I was going to keep it....I wonder if that was a not-so-sly hint that she would probably force me to keep an unwanted pregnancy (one reason other than the fact that I didn't date anyone I thought was important enough to have sex with at the time) that scared the s**t out of me and made it impossible for me to do any research or get birth control until I was 18.

My story is completely mellow in comparison with the rest here whee .

I have two older sisters who are 11 and 8 years older than me, and not long after the second oldest, my mom had a miscarriage. But my parents wanted three kids.. my mom actually wanted four but my dad wanted to stop when she had her third pregnancy. Of course, I'm a twin, so things worked out perfectly for both of them. mrgreen .

Now my second eldest sister got pregnant in ... '03, which was unplanned and she had been taking birth control. She wasn't married but she kept my nephew, Jude, who is now two. In the early stages she had thought about abortion but she really didn't consider that for too long, neither adoption. Up until Jude was nearly a year and a half, she and he lived with me and my sister and parents... it was crowded but liveable... and now it's quite alright. whee . No holocaust for this family.

Oh, I'd also like to note that my mother, though raised Catholic, is very pro-choice, just in case anyone wondered. heart .

I was told quite simply that I wasn't planned, nor wanted by my birth mother. I had been told repeatedly that my mother was going to have an abortion, but was forced to carry me to term. Granted I am here today, but there are a few conditions that no one in the family that raised me seems to think about:

1) My mother abandoned me, leaving me with the first guy she could marry while pregnant. I don't believe in having kids and then dumping them off because I've heard too many stories about kids coming out like I was - Forced into a home where they weren't wanted, under foster care and abused from the time they could remember until they finally left the place they were living in.

2) They kept saying how they "had to take care" of me. No they didn't. I could have been aborted, and spared people a lot of trouble. I kept hearing about how "If it hadn't been for me, you never would have been born." The thing is, how would I have had the ability to care if I had been aborted? An unwanted child was forced to be carried to term and then abandoned and abused. The mother, who was already unstable, was pushed into an institution after having to carry another child by the family of the father. Last I heard of my half sister, she was in the foster system somewhere, making meals of her own finger and toe nails.


Abortion is not a holocaust. It IS a means of surviving. If anything, forced pseudo-Darwinism is genocide - Making women who are physically, mentally, emotionally, and for any other reason unable to bear children, carry fetuses to term only to have to watch as in the end, both the mother and child are essentially dead within weeks if not days is genocide - Only the stronger women and fetuses/babies survive.

Sadly enough, I've heard another reason for forcing women to die in such a way coming from the mouth of a Christian WOMAN! "If the mother and child die, then the Lord probably had more use for them in Heaven." After that, I remember hearing her go through a whole Christian rant about pre-marital sex, but that's another story all together.

I really despise how these people take advantage of events like the Holocaust and pre-Civil War slavery to push their point. Are these feti people? Treat them like it, with respect.

Besides, unless slaves and Jews were violating the bodily integrity of their respective opressors, it's hardly the same thing.

Funny how most of them agree that dead baby jokes are in bad taste yet they have no problem with slapping a swastika on the word, "abortion."
