Abortion is a sensitive topic.

If you all notice my original post, I made minimal references to the woman “A.” That was deliberate.

I limited my topic because I considered focusing my attention on the woman “A” as irrelevant, inadmissible, speculative, and highly prejudicial. The spotlight should focus on “K.”

Although I can infer her mental state since her letter was lengthy and extensive, I intentionally didn’t comment on it. I refrained from “breaking” her letter down for analysis. Moreover, I ruled out her age, profession, education, marital status, religion, family background, and other such matters as extraneous. I cannot use them to discredit her or her complaints against K’s actions.

She’s the plaintiff; she should be heard. If her complaints had no merits, then K could refute them with one word, “Bullcrap.”  That would be the end of the story.

That said, I find that this almost knee-jerk reaction from the general public to accuse her of mendacity, greed, personal vendetta, or “wanting the abortion anyway,” very troubling. As women ourselves, I think we should do more to reform our cynical view of another woman’s trauma. This is not what Bitches do.

As far as I’m concerned, once the actor K apologized, this sordid drama was over. Any further postmortem should be held in private to preserve the dignity (or what’s left of it) and salvage the reputation of the two parties involved.

Remember: the reason I opened the thread was to provide the viewers of HCCC a separate space to celebrate the finale without L’affaire KSH casting a pall over the discussion. But, as I told @Growing_Beautifully, to open a new thread without explaining my position would be irresponsible and would ignore the elephant in the room.

I must say, though, that compared to other sites that I scanned for news, the posters here have been quite tamed and civilized. Thank you all.

To those lurker(s) who complained, or will complain, about the regular posters here, please remember that nobody invited you here. I keep telling everybody this: I protect my old-timers, and you can’t step onto my “Front Porch” of this blog to revile them.

This blog is pro-life because I, the blog owner, am pro-life. But as I’ve said ad infinitum, if anybody doesn’t like my opinion on things, please feel free to exit the blog.

Don’t spam me.
Don’t be contentious.
Don’t attack posters personally.
Don’t write “angry.” Rants rarely get the message across.
Last, don’t make your departure tedious because I’ve no time nor patience for shittery.

FYI. Before posters who don’t know me from Eve start accusing me of being a Catholic fanatic, I was agnostic (and two points shy of being an atheist) when I formed my own conclusion on abortion. I looked at the issue from the ethical, moral, scientific and medical standpoint. I decided that saline injection, suction vacuuming, and body dismemberment will never be humane and nonviolent procedures to me.

I will brook no argument on this matter. Please debate elsewhere. Please don’t pontificate to me. I only have one pope, and I already had an earful the last time I visited the Holy See. I’m still working on my penance because I’m never going to be saint. I’m a bad, opinionated, non-compliant Bitch.

On that note, if a post didn’t go through, it was flagged as “spam” or “for moderation” and they’re in my spambox. I customized the settings prior to publishing the post because I anticipated a fuss. I will go through my spambox tonight when I get home or tomorrow morning before going to work. But you may consider it my small act of kindness towards the poster(s) if I ignore it. You see, once my good opinion of you is lost, it takes time to be repaired.

Final words: One’s belief or adherence to a religion has little or no relevance to being pro-life. If my info is correct, KSH is Catholic himself.
