1. Oh--LeftyMom--Whoa...
That is complete and total bullshit! The only person that poster is fooling is himself--he certainly didn't fool the niece, with their money manipulation.

:wtf:

I could go on, and on, and on about this--but won't. This absolutely enrages me!

Oh and your responses were spot on, appropriate and totally well stated. I'm just sorry you were talking to someone like this.

That guy was just looking for someone to endorse what he did. Ease his mind somewhat.

Bullshit...just bullshit. I can hardly believe someone could be so cruel...

3. I was absolutely blown away by it
Oh and I'm "anti-baby." LeftyDad will be greatly relieved, I've been bugging him about having another for ages.

4. Made me sick too.
He's basically trying to coerce his niece into bearing a child for him and his wife. I really hope the young woman can find some assistance that doesn't require her to depend on her manipulative family members.

5. Ghee I just don't know why someone who
wasn't raised by her own parents wouldn't want to bring an unwanted child into the world to be raised by people who would lie to her then go behind her back and tell her personal business to the family so they can manipulate her into giving them the child they want. Oh why can't she see she is loved and supported :sarcasm:?

8. That guy needs a shovel beating...
and then some idjit tried to tell him we all "support" him. Fuck that noise. I don't support his manipulative, sexist ass. I hope his niece finds the help she needs...and then that she never speaks to his ass again.

10. BullSHIT! We DON'T all support him!
Some of us had the ability to see he was being evasive and manipulative regarding this young lady. How dare he call himself a Democrat? How dare he come to these boards to get people here to support his insanity?!

What a load of crap!

I stayed far away from that thread--There's no way I could be civil to someone like that. That's my shortcoming and my personal bias. No need for me to respond in that frame of mind.

13. That thread made me sick
I'm a birthmother, I've had to have an abortion at 20 weeks, and I was a single parent. The worst thing I ever went through was giving my son up for adoption. 27 years later, and I still grieve over it.

The tactics the OP was using are very like all those adoption ads you see. "We'll pay your medical and living expenses if you give us your baby." That type of financial, emotional and mental coercion just infuriates me.

16. Link?
I once choose abortion and would love to know who'd challenge the reality that it was the best thing for all under the circumstances.

15. I had to bite my fingers to keep myself from replying
Not only was the OP's attitude sickening, but so were the "Well, she's 26, let her fall on her ass and she how SHE likes it" posters.

What is appalling is that obviously this woman is in a serious situation. she does not want a pregnancy to go to term.

All of the OP supporters say "Let her fall on her ass' don't realize that it's not just HER falling on her ass---it's her fucking CHILD that will be falling too.

I suppose they see no hypocracy in condeming someone for not having the responsibility to get a job, save money, use contraception, etc BUT THEN advocate this (according to them) obviously unbalanced woman having a child.

Totally fucking insane.

If (according to them) she's too stupid to take birth control, somehow she's going to be SMART enough to be a parent? If she's too "immature" to deal with her own problems, suddenly she's going to be MATURE enough to raise a child????

Fucking
sickening

----

Another thing that bothered me is that the OP admits that he and his family have completely enabled this young woman throughout her life, allowing her to live rent free, eat for free, get money without having to work---that was okay to do for years and years.

But NOW that she's in a terrible situation, NOW suddenly is the time to 'teach responsibility'???? Um, if you were SOOOOO worried about her having responsibility, shouldn't that have been a lesson taught YEARS ago, instead of now?

And I notice how the OP obsolves himself and his family for ANY responsibility of the situation. True, he didn't impregnate her, but he enabled her for years. Now they expect a very well trained and conditioned human to suddenly SNAP out of it because HE wants her to? They have (in their eyes) NO responsibility for her being at this point. Why not pull the rug out from under her, so to speak, YEARS ago when she was "just" mooching but not pregnant? WHy wait until seh's in an insurmountable position to say "Oh yeah. Grow some legs of your own, honey. By the way...I want your baby"

what a fucking joke.

And the OP has the gonads to call *her* Manipulative? Gee....I wonder where she got it from?


Makes me VERY happy for the quite dysfunctional family I have. As crazy as they are, they're NOT manipulative like this OP portrays himself to be. At least my family has the ability to separate personal wishes and desires from the wishes and desires of others, and help others out even if they don't agree with the reason.

I wish I had this woman's address. *I* would send her the fucking money for the abortion

19. I couldn't bear to read the "update" he recently posted.
Did anyone else have the stomach? Mine is usually cast iron, but it's currently off the stove (for cleaning--it's gotten really spotty).

20. Better off that you didn't
The young woman had an abortion and the post was all about how wonderful it is that they still love her. It also said a bunch of stuff about her and the boyfriend taking responsibility for themselves and their goals. Sound advice but it seems to come after years of teaching the young lady otherwise...

21. I'm very glad to hear that she's made a decision that doesn't
involve her being a broodmare for her uncle.

Nice. Oh, and by nice, I mean, sneaky woman-hating slag on a person exercising her valid right to choose. What a fat pig.
