Sure they can. Preborn citizens (or womb-men) seeking equal rights just need to be notified so they can make arrangements to mobilize their customized prebirth ambulators en masse. Like a convoy of tractors.
I thought that was too quick for her to make up off the top of her head.
I’m still dumbfounded by that line…that kind of hyperbole and rhetoric over a zygote and nothing – not an iota of sympathy for the fetal life support unit, aka the mother.
She actually used the term, “nigger lover?” Is she channelling one of the K-K-K-Katies?
But you know what I find absolutely precious about this? She would never allow anyone to say that on her blog, but she has no qualms about taking a dump on somebody else’s property.
Women in certain parts of the world once knew which fruit to eat (no, it wasn’t an apple) and which herbs would abort a fetus.
I don’t think they used those words tho. They just intuitively knew what could be supported and what couldn’t. There was no guilt, no admonition, no court to decide. It was simply natural.
Thanks for digging that up, JJ. SHE’s actually thought about this. Wow. You know, I bet SHE has no idea why we’re laughing our asses off at HER. It must be so strange to be deranged. You KNOW you are right. You put your thoughts out there. And people fall about laughing. And you wonder why.
Mike – I just typed the phrase into google and voila. She’s had that one in the hopper for awhile.
I was curious to see if it came from somewhere else — most of their talking points come from Fetus Central in someplace like Kansas — but as yet haven’t found it anywhere else on the web.
“All those who qualify as fully human, please stand up. (Pause.) OK, then, movin’ on …”
OK, and you just know what SUZANNE’s rebuttal to that would be: “What about a guy with no legs? He can’t stand up either. Does that mean he’s not human!??” I wish I was kidding.
The mental image of marching fetuses is incredibly disturbing.
How about jumping over a fence, one at a time? That’s probably how SUZANNE gets to sleep… when she does sleep. If she sleeps. Does she sleep? She seems to be up 24/7 furiously blogging about fetuses, so maybe not.
There was no guilt, no admonition, no court to decide. It was simply natural.
Those were simpler days, when people didn’t have so much spare time on their hands to stick their noses into everyone else’s business. Too busy chasing down dinner, etc.
fern hill – No digging really, I just googled it and there it was. I guess she’s careful about where she uses it, because that was from 2007, so it’s been rattling around in her little brain box for awhile now.
“Women in certain parts of the world once knew…which herbs would abort a fetus.”
Not just “certain” parts — all over the world. Such knowledge — and usage — was pretty universal to all cultures that realized they needed not to out-propagate their own abilities to feed themselves. Somewhere along the way, human beings stopped thinking of themselves as being part of the ecosystem and started thinking of themselves as “special,” to whom the rules of species survival don’t apply. Then that knowledge was suppressed.
However, it’s not lost. You just need to know where to look for it. It’s still common knowledge, just disguised as “warnings” on labels…
You’ve totally convinced me that a zygote/embryo/fetus is exactly identical to a 1 year old baby because neither of them can march down the street singing “We Shall Overcome”.
(CC — What did I tell you? Not exactly the same but close enough for rock & roll.)

This is a little off topic, but these posts about herbal remedies reminded me, balbulican is writing some articles about Traditional Knowledge — fascinating stuff, I think you’d enjoy the thread if you haven’t seen it already.
Ohhhhh boy, don’t look now but HER new pal Gordie Canuck is back at it again.
Huh. Good for him. Gordie posted a comment on the thread about the octuplets, basically accusing me of advocating for state control of maternity. How’s that for swinging and missing? 😆
…Can’t get together and march…

Oh, human fetuses are just living in a culture of defeat. They need to be more like hardy pioneer kangaroo fetuses and learn how to crawl to victory.
The only difference is the fetuses can’t get together and march.
I thought that was hilarious except that Joanne is serious!
I want to see a little fetus defiantly moving to the front of the bus 🙂
Beijing York: Wait until they move into your neighbourhood. See if you’re laughing then….8)
Shhhhhhh! Don’t give the wingnut Dr. Moreaus any ideas!
Would you want your son or daughter to marry one?
Do they have the “necessities’ (thank you, Al Campanis) to manage a baseball team?

Even if they did, they would still be relegated to the Fetus League.

Must go to bed now. Or drink more.
Niles – That “can’t get together and march” just broke me up. Yeah, that’s the ONLY difference. Geez, what a dumbass.

Looks like it’s SUZANNE’s baby, so to speak.

Context, it’s everything. If you were to put it the way she has, I’m sure she’d allow it and vehemently agree with you.
I don’t know if she’s ever said it on her blog, but she’s got a cute little badge in the sidebar of the blog where she’s writing Her Novel.Scroll down

Some day a fetus will be President of the United States!
SQ
There goes the neighbourhood! All these squishy glurgey little sea-horsey looking things, leaving trails of fetuslime everywhere.
JAB
Generally they tend to be against that kind of genetic engineering, but if it could get those little things to march, who knows eh?
FF
You’re a fetophobe.

SUZANNE: This bad analogy is no dream! This is really happening!

Dude, how old were you when you learned to stand?

Yes, the old “It-is-happening-why?-Because-I-say-so.” No propagandizing there!

Actually, I was making a snarky Rosemary’s Baby reference.
D’oh! I missed the link
