1) It is atrociously rude of each and every one of you to be making ad-hoc clinical diagnoses of this gentleman [...]

2) Anyone who enters into [marriage] this institution with the understanding that this [marriage has been for children for thousands of years] is not the case is remarkably deluded.

Is it okay to make the diagnoses if you don’t directly point fingers or name names? Gracious me.

I would be interested on how this woman felt about the constant hate spewing thoughts aimed at her husband.

And I’d be interested to see how this woman felt about her husband spewing hate about her.

Was this woman's life on the line in childbirth? No. So then she was tempted to do something drastic and horrifying. She came to her senses. It is also the father's child.

I wouldn't <strong>dare</strong> tell another woman what do with her body. Maybe its because I am a woman. I don't know. I just do not understand so many of those pro-lifers out there. Then there is this particular asshole. Yuck! Its not the first time I have encountered that kind of attitude but it never fails to make me want to projectile vomit. I really do hope his wife kicks his potential abusing ass to the curb and his daughter disowns him. Is it wrong of me to wish he gets run over by a big ass truck in the near future?
