(5,649 posts)And I asked YOU a simple question. What would make you happy in regards to my family as it now stands, since you feel that you have the right to judge me? What do you think it the right choice for me to make in regards to my children?
LOL "if it's none of my business, keep it to yourself"... We can discuss it all you want, but it doesn't mean that I'm going to agree with you. But you know as well as I do that stating a fact (I have 5 children) does not mean that I'm inviting you into my bedroom to discuss the how and why and wherefore and what of how those children came to be.
You didn't ask me a simple question. You asked me a question and then went on to tell me why the poster that I responded to needed a little understanding for using such an heinous term.
Not saying that the use of "breeder" is not disrespectful, but there is good reason to have strong feelings about families who birth so many children.
I responded to that "you have ever right to your opinion and concern" and told you that strong feelings does not give you (the general you... as in the person I originally responded to) the right to call people names.
I am not angry with you but you are being disingenuous in acting like you an in innocent victim here.
And if the poster that I responded to didn't want people to judge him or her, I would think that they would limit their use of the word "breeder" when referring to people who have children on a public message board. I can't believe you are equating the use of this term to " in response to someone who referenced people having a lot of kids or something of that nature." You can't whitewash the word away. It's right there.
So again, answer my question. When I found out that I was pregnant with twins, was the appropriate response, from your perspective as a "concerned person", to get an abortion as soon as I found out? If not, what are you saying I should have done, since you feel you have the right to judge me for them being here. Because I have a real moral problem with forced abortion... I'm pro-choice... in that everyone gets to choose for THEMSELVES what their reproductive choices are. And if I can afford to provide for them, why would I abort them? Because people like you are "concerned" about population growth?
Until birth control is available to all and child marriages are stopped so that girls are educated and not pawned off at 12 years old to get married (among a host of other issues), there will be no population control. And I refuse have an abortion just to prove my worth to the likes of you.
Please answer the question (what do you think I should have done) or don't bother to reply.
