I have such a very special womb, it made the editorial page of the paper. I am actually a little dissapointed that the QCN printed this. I mean the dude fucking talks about my WOMB. Just goes to show you that these fucking baby arms pro-lifers are crazy. Crazy about controlling our wombs.
'Thou shalt not kill'

To the Editor:
CONNIE (QCN, Jan. 24, 2007) writes celebrating Roe v. Wade. She appeals to progress, privacy, individualism, reproductive rights, all valid ideas of intrinsic worth. I would venture her perspective needs more experience, is not wide, deep nor long enough. From her letter, I would guess she’s never had a child in her womb. For instance, the woman who took Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court has been publicly campaigning for its overturn for more than 20 years, probably least because she admittedly lied that her pregnant was from gang rape.
Connie was once a child with parents and grandparents, etc. Does this reflection remember back to the source of this fragile gift of life, of loved ones, of sight, taste, touch, the gift of Montana, and engender gratitude? The writers of our Constitution looked beyond even history to this source, and the gift of the Ten Commandments, one of which is “Thou shalt not kill,” all of which are mostly about responsible communion of persons in community.
The gospels extend this communion of mortals to immortality. The gift of life is forever. The life to be in Connie’s womb is not a gift from her alone, nor from its father alone. And the decision of life or death for this also private, individual life with rights is not Connie’s alone, nor anyone’s, a 200-year-old Supreme Court notwithstanding. Murder has always been a community responsibility, shed blood never a private affair, especially before the Creator of Connie’s flesh and blood.
And while it might be a private, individual responsibility to keep alive this spiritual intelligence in our world of collective unreason, mass conflict, and mass extermination (45 million “abortions” in the U.S. since 1973), it’s a private individual’s responsibility to carry this memory into the community with Isaiah’s words, “Do not stand idly by while your neighbor is being murdered.”

Happy 34th anniversary to Roe v. Wade decision
by Connie
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
To the Editor:
Jan. 22, 2006, marks the 34th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. I have never known life without Roe v. Wade, and I never want to.
To me, being pro-choice isn’t about abortion. It is about privacy. Montana has a long tradition of rugged individualism and a belief that the less government intrudes in our private lives, the better. This deeply held belief in a “right to privacy” is enshrined in Montana’s Constitution, which states, “The right of individual privacy is essential to the well-being of a free society and shall not be infringed without the showing of a compelling state interest.”
The right to make private medical decisions cannot be taken for granted. Even though pro-choice activists recently defeated an abortion ban in South Dakota and anti-choice ballot initiatives in Oregon and California, it is clear that forces are working hard to take our reproductive rights out of our hands.
As Montanans, we believe in a culture of freedom and personal responsibility. Reproductive decisions should be made by individuals, not politicians. It is our responsibility to improve family planning options, provide honest, realistic sex education and increase access to birth control, which will reduce the number of abortions in Montana.
Montanans are tired of the divisiveness surrounding reproductive rights. Let’s find common ground by putting prevention first.

Okay - what REALLY pisses me off is that they (crazy pro-lifers) resort to bullying (baby arms) and personal attacks on my womb to keep me silent. The thing that sucks is that it is working, people aren't talking about choice because they are afraid of being called a baby killer or have their womb featured in an editorial. This is fucking bullshit.
This came in an e-mail and was so awesome I had to preserve it. Thanks Great Opressor J.
Here is my response to the assclown who wrote about our friend's womb. In honor of Connie taking this one for the team, I would like to propose a "Take Connie's Womb to Dinner Day."
To the editor:
In his response to Connie's letter marking the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Dennis Sullivan writes that Connie lacks the necessary experience to write about progress, privacy, individualism, and reproductive rights. Sullivan guesses that Connie has "never had a child in her womb," and therefore not in a suitable position of authority to write in favor of a woman's right to choose. I might point out that a) the right to choose extends to all women regardless of whether or not they have had a child, and insinuating that no woman in their right mind would celebrate Roe v. Wade if she's had a child is ludicrous; and b) unless Montana has pioneered the procedure to insert wombs into men, Mr. Sullivan hasn't borne a child either and by his own reasoning is no more qualified to argue against Roe v. Wade than childless women.
I would also like to point out that while Mr. Sullivan seems to take a certain amount of pleasure in making numerous references to Connie's womb, I'm certain that any letter written by me making numerous references to Mr. Sullivan's reproductive organs would certainly be met with an appropriate amount of distaste. I wonder if a letter that philosophically explores how Mr. Sullivan's gonads, testicles, and erect two-inch penis are simply tools of God's divine plan would ever be published. Mr. Sullivan is certainly entitled to his opinions regarding reproductive rights, but insisting that he is more qualified to discuss the matter simply because of his ability to quote Scripture and submit half-baked theories about the womb of a woman that he doesn't even know sums up much of the "discourse" surrounding reproductive rights.
