She’s like, “Are you getting this? Hey, camera one- can you believe this nonsense?”

Two different things going on, which it would be helpful to know. 1) Kool-aid and other colorful fruity non-juice drinks (“purple drink,” “yellow drink”) are for some stereotypically associated with Black Americans, probably because they are cheap grocery store drinks you might drink more often when you are poor, and…

that said - there is nothing fundamentally wrong with drinking koolaid (except that sweetening it requires a lot of sugar). but as you said below, it would be on par with the white anchor having asked her if she made fried chicken for thanksgiving. everyone eats fried chicken, just like a lot of people drink koolaid,…

yes

i need a gif of that sideeye. like YESTERDAY.

That little girl’s face. Wow.

“I am so special that I would transcend time and space to be sad about the fact that I never existed!”

“*I* was ALMOST aborted, and given that *I* am the most important person in the world, my lack of understanding or respect of other people’s body autonomy and my personal, selfish feelings about abortion mean that ONE ONE should have them ever!”

I have often wished my mom had aborted me. (It was illegal when I was born). Because my parents, frankly, sucked as parents. And although I am relatively happy and healthy now, and not wishing to die, my suffering, and the suffering of my siblings, could have been prevented. Who were those government officials who…

Lol bullshit. Why don’t you go back to whatever cesspool you oozed out of?

Her two actual children presumably would tell you how idiotic you’re acting.

Apparently all it takes is extreme narcissism.

I’m sorry, but while your grandparents didn’t have the right to decide whether you would be birthed or not, your mother did. And *you* have no right to decide for other people. Even if your mother would have wanted to abort you, you would have no right to hold that against her.

As horrible an ordeal as you went through, I wish it was discussed. Until people hear real women tell their story of their choice then people will understand we need to respect the choices other people make, unless we believe those people should have an opinion on the choice we make.

Jesus. Thinking about those things make me feel sick. I’m grateful beyond words to live in a time when it was always legal.

I’m glad that you made it through that alive. A lot of women didn’t.

And if those of us who are older spoke of our abortions before they were legal - kitchen table, lysol, wire hanger abortions - well, we don’t talk about it. I also don’t regret it.

Why? Did you read somewhere about how she parents her children? Seems like having a mom that’s open and honest about difficult life decisions would be fantastic.

So is she.
