Woe is me.


Shorter ProLife ProWoman: Why, oh why, does no one understand my noble struggle to save the fetuses? My victimization knows no bounds but still I soldier on, safe in the knowledge that someday all women can be free from that horrendous burden called "choice".

You only wish I was kidding.

Brigitte Pelerin, the author of the post, is an Ottawa-area wingnut and (of course) Ottawa Citizen columnist, who writes sappy pieces on how wonderful it is to be a libertarian.

*pause* You got that right!

She's also married to John Robson (collective Ottawa eye-roll) who does basically the same thing. Peas in a pod and all.

And here I was reminded of a few recent conversations with pro-choicers who seem to think that referring to abortion as “the killing of an unborn baby” is nothing more than a dirty political tool in the ongoing oppression of women by some particularly retrograde patriarchal ideology. Which only goes to show that some people spend way too much time in soi-disant academic seminars.

I stopped here. As soon as the language starts becoming this pretentious (and bad...that's not the proper use of soi-disant), I start feeling like I'm being worked.

Besides, too much anecdote, not enough science.

Maybe someone should give her a dictionary and highlight the differences between "Libertarian" and "Fascist wing-nut"

She writes:
Ezra is a free speech absolutist, and so am I
I guess she will not mind that we tell her that's she is a fucking cunt.

I've read some of her other postings - while not at the same level as "ALL CAPS", the women is profoundly ignorant and without intellectual merit.

Oh! I miss Brigitte since my long forgotten Ottawa days. Used to be fun to listen to her on Grouch Old Man Radio CFRA shilling asswipe and doing the traffic report.

How many kids she got with that stud John Robson so far?

Libertarian!!?? Oh, please!!!

When Brigitte was taking Libertarianism101, she obviously skipped the lesson about a person's body, and everything attached to it, being their own property.

Anyone who wants more laws, especially laws governing what we do with our own bodies, is an authoritarian -- the polar opposite of a libertarian.

Related to my comment above: This is weird. She says "I’ve always been opposed to casual abortion (even though I would not wish to recriminalize the practice)"

She wouldn't wish to recriminalize the practice? What a load!

About a dozen, I imagine, if we count the ones God killed post-conception, the knowledge of which He, at His most charitable and merciful, prevented Brigitte from acquiring.

Fuck, it's like saying this alone makes them believe they're holy or something.

I'd be a free speech absolutist too if the world weren't filled with fascists and liars like Ezra Levant.

Considering the gist (as far as could be gathered) of the piece was ostensibly about the semantics of the "debate" surrounding abortion it's somewhat interesting that she employs the term "humanoid" in reference to the unborn.

Anyhoo, what a completely inane post that was.
