The Politicization of Motherhood

Everything with the Left is projection. You could write a dozen textbooks for Psychology 101 based on the things Democrats accuse Republicans of being, when they, themselves, are actually guilty of that behavior.

Democrats say we have to ban guns because people are violent, while Leftists like Cole Allen attempt to assassinate the President. They accuse Republicans of being racist while hurling vile attacks at Black Republicans like Winsome Sears. They say Republicans are corrupt and greedy, while they allow welfare fraud to run rampant and steal tax money from the rest of us.

At the same time, they paint themselves as paragons of tolerance, morality, and virtue.

They're not.

As the Democrats have pointed out, they plan to use the government as a weapon against the Trump administration and Republican supporters. That undoubtedly includes citizens, as we saw with the weaponization of the FACE Act against pro-lifers under the Biden administration.

I somewhat have a relationship with the kid (who is now my age when I got pregnant). I don't want to. I do it out of obligation/guilt that the kid will feel bad if I don't act interested. Any time I hear from the kids family, I am filled with a dreadful reminder over what I went through.
Fun fact: my partner is Persian, an immigrant, and culturally Muslim. The kid is full-blown MAGA at 15 years old. So I essentially created someone who is at best unempathetic and at worst full of hate for the marginalized (and will be racist against their own biological half siblings!).
If you gave me a magic lamp, I know what I'd wish for. Maybe that makes me a bad person. My therapist says it doesn't. I don't think I'm missing a maternal gene or anything. I love my nephews. I absolutely want a baby with my fiancé.
I believe moms who didn't want their baby feel too much shame for admitting they wish they didn't have them. This applies to birth moms. Society does not accept those feelings.
So that's my story. I hope it helps someone who may be in the similar situation. I hope it encourages others to fight for abortion rights.

Therapy is useless if a therapist doesn't think wishing you'd killed your son makes you a bad person. It does. And clearly, the therapy hasn't helped this woman get over the trauma of her relationship with the boy's father.

And if she has a child with her partner, what happens if that child grows up to — gasp! — be a conservative? Does she plan on controlling that child into adulthood so he (or she) only expresses approved political and social views? Good luck with that.

Part of the Left's argument for abortion is that it's better to kill an unborn child than let him grow up in poverty or foster care. They say some kids are doomed to a life of crime, so they're issuing an in-utero death sentence.

That's not true. Those things are fluid states. You can get out of poverty (and financially secure people can fall into poverty). You can get out of the foster care system. There is no marker that indicates an unborn child will turn out to be a criminal. And there's no way to know what a kid's political leanings will be once he's 15, or if he'll hold those views into his 20s or 30s.

But it doesn't matter. He's MAGA, so she wishes he were dead and that she had killed him.

In the early days of blogging and social media, I would get Leftists telling me they hoped my son turned out to be gay one day, with the implication being I would despise and disown him. No. He's my son, and gay or straight, I would love him. That set them off, furious that I wasn't the stereotypical conservative, but a mother who loves her son unconditionally.

Perhaps the Left should try that, too, instead of killing off their children over politics.
