Bijou posted a great, GREAT comment to your piece:

How about if all abortion providers, adoption agencies, and medical care facilities inform pregnant women of the dire physical harms that can and do result from pregnancy. From the daily emesis (videos of wretching into a toilet necessary for effect), to the asthmatics and diabetics trips to the ER, to the hemmorrhoids, to the UTIs (dip your penises in tobasco sauce daily for a week to get a sense of the “discomfort”), to the ripped vaginas or bloody, sliced open abdomens, to the ruptured uteruses, to the morgue shots of women who have died giving birth. Women should know what risks they are at and make fully informed choices before proceeding.

I mean… damn.

The comments this time are slightly better (I said slightly — come on, nitpicking the math??)

You’ve got a nice handful of shitty comments on your posts at HP so far, particularly “The Miss USA Pageant”.

I think folks get to a word like “feminist” and something snaps so all they’re capable of is typing drivel. Others, though, glean your message.

I hope you continue posting there.
