How are you girl? I haven’t seen you in ages.” [b]Marsha:[/b] “Hey Jan, you’re looking great. How’ve you been?” [b]Jan:[/b] “Just peachy. Hey, guess what? I’m going to have a fetus!" [b]Marsha[/b] (excited): “That’s wonderful! Oh, I’m so happy for you. Now we both have [url="http://www.overopinionated.com/prochoice.htm"]parasites growing in us."[/url] [b]Jan:[/b] “Yeah, but you’re having twins. I’m so jealous.” [b]Marsha:[/b] “Oh, I only have one now. Greg didn’t get his promotion so we decided to [url="http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/archives/000811.html"]selectively reduce[/url] one of them.” [b]Jan:[/b] “Aww...well, that’s a valid choice. I was hoping to have two fetuses because this one is going to be [url="http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/marvinolasky/2004/12/02/13828.html"]used to harvest organs for Alice.[/url] It took us forever to find an IVF facility that would help us with a [url="http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/archives/000614.html"]'designer fetus' "[/url] [b]Marsha:[/b] “I’m glad everything worked out. So when is it due?” [b]Jan:[/b] “My doctor says I’ll be delivering sometime in July.” [b]Marsha:[/b] “No, I mean when’s it due to become a human.” [b]Jan:[/b] “Oh, well, Bobby and I draw the line sometime [url="http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1993----.htm"]within the first few weeks after birth."[/url] [b]Marsha:[/b] “Hmm, Greg and I think it occurs in the third trimester but I can respect that. It’s a valid choice.” [b]Jan:[/b] “Hey, what happened to Cindy? I heard she was having complications with her pregnancy. Did she ever deliver her fetus?” [b]Marsha:[/b] “She did. Back in September. But the baby was born retarded so, you know, she did the right thing and took a trip to Holland.” [b]Jan:[/b] “That is so like Cindy. She has always been so compassionate.” [b]Marsha:[/b]“Oh, I know. She was really thinking about the child. I mean, what kind of quality of life would it have?" [b]Jan:[/b] “Exactly. It’s just a shame that she has to go all the way to Europe.” [b]Marsha:[/b] “Tell me about it. Until we get rid of Hitler, though, that’s what we have to put up with. At least Cindy has the money to travel. Just think about the poor women that have to resort to back-alley euthanasia.” [b]Jan:[/b] “You know, I cried for two weeks after that evil man was reelected.” [b]Marsha:[/b] “Me too, girlfriend. I don’t know what those Red State voters were thinking.” [b]Jan[/b] (mockingly): “The election was about moral values. [b]Marsha[/b] (rolling her eyes): “Yeah, some values they stand for.” [b]Jan:[/b] “Hey, I hate to run but I have to finish up my Christmas shopping. You know, it's depressing how commericalized the holidays have become.” [b]Marsha:[/b] "Haven't they, though? People have completely forgotten the [url="http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=Matthew+2%3A10+-+16§ion=0&version=csb&new=1&oq=&NavBook=mt&NavGo=2&NavCurrentChapter=2"]'reason for the season.'[/url] Well, it was great seeing you again. Give me a call sometime." [b]Jan:[/b] "I'll do that. Hope you have a great Christmas." [b]Marsha:[/b] "You too. Bye." Edited October 13, 2005 by Lil Red
Lil Red Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 the "took a trip to Holland" link wasn't working, sorry. although this article [url="http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/10/102005b.asp"]http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/10/102005b.asp[/url] is prolly what they were going for.
Lil Red Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 [quote name='zabbazooey' date='Oct 13 2005, 10:23 AM']is this for real?? [right][snapback]757067[/snapback][/right] [/quote] i don't think it was really overheard...someone made it up to make a point about our crazy world.
StColette Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Yeah someone is trying to get the point across that when someone wants to keep an unborn baby it's a well baby and when they want abort it it's a fetus or tissue
onathing1 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 unfortunately, though they do not use those exactly words, this is exactly what 'pro-choice' people believe. i've gotten into many arguments with them and the funny thing about this convo you have posted is, ITS TRUE! every single word you had these people say, it has been said to me to try and discourage me from telling people the truth. **sigh** it's only a child when THEY want it to be...
Paladin D Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Bobby and her consider the baby a human a few weeks [b]AFTER[/b] it's born? At times like this, I wish abortion resulted in capital punishment.

Didacus Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Awesome! What a brave new world we are living!!! I'm overjoyed to live in an era where the weak don't have a say on their own life and we can kill them and use them at our fullest discretion without being held accountable for our actions. /sarcasm.. I ever I hear my sons or daugter having one of these conversations I think i'd beat them to a pulp!

Didacus Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 The sentiment of stupidity towards the Catholic Church is a common thing nowadays unfortunately, and I hate to say it, but we still have to go on for a while before all this is behind us. We have to weatrher the storm, brace ourselves, and make dam certain that once it will be over, it will be over for good! That means teach our children everything they need so that they perpetuate the church's teachings and be faithful to them. sounds easy doesn't it?

1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I agree with everyone here who is outraged by this. BTW, Lil Red, what does satire mean?
Lil Red Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 it's not a real story....i was just making sure everyone knew that who read it.
