Giving them poor, fuddle headed wimmin a choice is awful, because obviously they're too stupid to know what to do with it.

Pregnancy is a dangerous medical condition. It isn't a damn cakewalk and it results in permanent changes to a woman's body. None of which are good.

The ability to opt out of having a parasite inhabit your body for 9 months is a total set back.

For all you f'ing whiney pro-brithers on here: I'll buy your crock of shit about life when I see y'all demanding that people be forced to donate blood, a kidney or a piece of their liver. After all, millions of lives can be saved this way. You want women to be forced to share their bodies. Why not just extend that policy to everyone?

And do tell how it sets us back to get rid of a parasite in our body?

To all you whining f'ing pro-birthers on here: I'll support your 'pro-life' shit when I see y'all demanding that everyone donate blood, a kidney or a piece of their liver. After all, it's all about saving lives, no? And if you're so damn quick to put women's bodies up to house a parasite they don't want, you'd better be ready to put other people's bodies up too. Otherwise, you're full of shit.

A woman has the right to get an abortion whenever she wants for whatever reason she wants. If she flips a coin and that's how she comes to the decision, it's her choice. Stop the panty sniffing. So gross, the Christofascists panting for women to suffer for having sex. Maybe you all should go get laid, eh? Ah, but I forgot sex isn't fun in your world. It's done with the lights off and in missionary position and lasts all of two seconds.

Anyway, I'll get back to your comments once I've had the chance to review the links you posted.

I suppose it's of no interest to you, but I don't think any belief I hold has a 0% chance of changing in the future. For some the chances are pretty small, but hey, who knows. If there's a serious flaw in the foundations of my understanding of the world, I want to know. Sorry to hear that you wouldn't; not much else to say on that point.

You don't think women should be told that "we must feel a certain way about our reproductive lives." But IMMEDIATELY before that you state "women shouldn't be ashamed of miscarriage or abortion." Are the feelings of shame that many women have regarding aborting their babies wrong? Your statements are the ultimate in hypocrisy. Maybe you are in denial over feelings of your own abortion(s).

Planned Parenthood has covered up the sexual abuse of young girls by men of age from the beginning. Should women feel any shame for supporting Planned Parenthood? If you realize as I do that the Catholic Church was wrong in covering up and not assisting in prosecuting the abusers of children for years, why do you not expect and demand the same of Planned Parenthood?

Shameful hypocrites.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I was disappointed at the lack of actual reporting; Sanchez was condescending and smug. His privilege as a man was evident, as was his embarrassingly vast lack of knowledge about reproduction. I have to say that even as a woman I didn't know miscarriages in the earlier stages last that long, but he mentioned "birth of a human being" which is CLEARLY not what a miscarriage is. Maybe it was a simple mistake, but it was evident he wanted to impose his religious ideals onto you and your decision. I think he was also caught off guard that you were so open about your abortion. And the "hormones are actually god!" thing was absurd. I don't even think he realizes that there are billions of non-Christians/non-Catholics that exist in the world, but that's another post for another day.

I think you (Ms. Trunk) have become an unexpected and eloquent spokesperson for the most basic of feminist tenants- right of all human beings to bodily autonomy and the right for women to decide what is best for their own bodies, families, and children.

Sanchez was arrogant and unprofessional from the beginning- when he "complimented" you for coming on, he wasn't even looking at the camera- he was fiddling with his papers to highlight his insincerity. He didn't have a leg to stand on, and you took his near-attacks and nonthinking arguments with grace and class.

Women shouldn't be ashamed of miscarriage or abortion. We shouldn't be ashamed of our bodies, and we certainly shouldn't be told we must feel a certain way about our reproductive lives. Thank you for being so open. I really believe that you helped a lot of women with this interview.

Thank you for braving the clueless, privileged mind of Mr. Sanchez.
