Lashra -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/1/2009 11:33:24 AM)
She stated in the article that she wanted drama in her life, sounds like she got it. I'd say she is mentally ill and needs some intensive therapy rather than a "master". ~Lashra

Nihilus I am very sorry that you find my post sarcastic and devoid of substance, but then, why don't you just ignore it? I stand corrected, she was 16 not 15, indeed a great difference, a world apart, so to say, and he waited one year to escape prison, what a gentleman! Too bad Polansky did not how the same high-mindedness. We would not spend good money on him right now. However, I learnt at school that reproduction, at least among mammals --a class to which I proudly belong--, was sexed, the male has to do something to get the female pregnant. Our teacher was rather short on practical details, but I would imagine that a 50 year old man, married four times would know about the birds and the bees and may firstly inform the young girl -- or adult woman if you prefer -- about the pill and all that kind of things. Maybe he was a Republican and did not believe in all this liberal stuff regarding family planning, but somehow I doubt it. Also, there are ways for the man to avoid impregnating a woman. But maybe it stand against his ethics as a "master". In any case, I tend to think that in a relationship responsibility is a joint operation and when one is not up to it, the other has to cover for both. It has nothing to do with BDSM, and if this relation was indeed a M/s one, it is not one where I would try to defend the behavior of the "master". Be seeing you!

She threw that word in but I didn't read anything that indicated there was ever such a dynamic. Maybe it helped assuage any shred of guilt she felt about recklessly getting impregnated 15 different times and then just aborting as an afterthought? Perhaps but who knows. This chick sounds perfectly in control of her choices and she chose drama..............luci

quote: ORIGINAL: Wolf2Bear I also have to remind myself that I am not a woman and I have no right to condemn her right as a woman to have control over her body. The right to control your own body goes beyond having an abortion every time you get pregnant. She had the right to take birth control, she had the right to use condoms. I have and will always support a woman's right to choose but please do not turn this obsessive, self-mutilating woman into a poster child for reproductive rights.

Yeah, I don't "condemn her right as a woman to have control over her body." If I "condemn" anything, it's blaming what she did on a "master" who didn't appear to be that at all. She chose to do what she did and I feel she should take responsibility for that, for better or worse. No one - "master" or no - made her have 15 abortions. That's her choice...........luci Please....I was not intending to say you or anyone else was condemning the woman in the article! Just simply stated that as a male...I have no right indicating any woman should or shouldn't be allowed to do (x) with her body. my mistake I didn't read ahead before quoting you. You may not, as a man, a have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body. However, as a human being, you do have the right to see these 15 abortions as the act of a sick person. It has nothing to do with exercising her right to choose and everything to do with mental illness and self destruction.

Ding-ding-ding! We got a winner!! Why? Well, it's gonna make some money . . .. .

Adding "Master" and hints of the lifestyle as an excuse.... should be a best seller.

From what I can tell from the polls and talking with college kids, the future is going to find its own new way, with new paths towards civil rights that put both Stanton, Sanger, and Friedan far on the back burner. The sixties were 50 years ago, after all. This next generation has the real new progressive ideas... it'll be very interesting to watch if what comes around, goes around.

Yeah, I've got 3 offspring in their early 20's, & a nephew & nieces younger than that, & generational change continues unabated, as far as I can see. Unlike those who see the young people as going to hell in a handbasket I tend to see a 'gettin' better all the time' vibe goin' on . . . . .

willowspirit -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/3/2009 12:11:49 AM)
Thank you for the link to the whole article. Maybe it's some variation of Münchausen syndrome ??? She sought drama/attention, yet like the trappings of things that made her feel cared for -- and yet controlled and helpless. Yeah, exam tables and those stirrups can make you feel pretty helpless -- and yet you are the focus of intense attention. [Münchausen syndrome is a term for psychiatric disorders known as Factitious disorders wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves. It's also sometimes known as "hospital addiction syndrome" or "hospital hopper" syndrome.] I'm disturbed that this comes back at us, U/us, Us and us (whatever) -- and people use accounts like this one to make others in society believe W/we are all mentally ill.

TwistedHeart74 -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/3/2009 1:31:35 AM)
I read the whole article and wow...just...wow. Does anyone else see the blatent emotional manipulation she uses? This is either one seriously disturbed woman or one hell of a manipulater. I'm complicated when it comes to abortion. I think they should remain legal, but should only be used in extreme circumstances, i.e. rape, molestation. Using it as a form of birthcontrol quite frankly makes me sick to my stomach. No matter how you try to justify it, abortion is murder. Argue it all you like, but life begins at conception, dead cells can't multiply, therefore an infant is just as alive at 2 weeks as it is at 8 months. It is utter bullshit to think in this day and age that anyone above the age of 10 wouldn't have at least a fundamental idea of how to prevent pregnancy. And again I throw the bullshit flag when she says "In a pathology you don't have a choice" Eh, WRONG. You can choose to stay in your addiction, or you can choose to get help. She states that when she was having these abortions that she ignored the pleas of doctors and friends. I've dealt with addicts in the past, worked closely with them. They CHOSE to stay addicted until they finally had enough, enough destroying their lives and enough of destroying the lives of their loved ones. It sounds to me as if she is blaming her culture as well, for it's "mixed messages". Give me a big ole break here. She doesn't dwell on the babies she killed? How is that even humanly possible? I have a friend who had an abortion years ago and she STILL has nightmares about it. "In her bathroom, Vilar keeps childhood photos of Loretta alongside ultrasound pictures of her 18 weeks before she was born. "The ultrasound images show clearly a miniature head tilted back, an arm raised up, with the hand pointing back toward the face," Vilar writes. "It would have been possible and permissible to end her life at this point." Anybody else find this just disturbing? The thing is, she is STILL addicted to drama, she is STILL craving the high that comes with addiction. She makes sure to mention she's had herself removed from as many public records as possible, she is sure to mention where she lives. I'm sure book sales will ROCKET from the attention this article has been given. I think she is a seriously disturbed woman who needs the kind of help you can get in the nicely padded room in the hospital. And I can promise you this much, no child of mine would read her book. There's no way in HELL I'd consider her a positive role model, or able to empower young women. What has she suffered for her actions? It doesn't look like much.

Vendaval -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/6/2009 6:09:06 AM)
Fast Reply- This woman has serious mental health problems and is obviously addicted to drama and being the center of attention. Why else would she write a book about being so out of control and irresponsible? (edited to change a word)

rockspider -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/6/2009 9:03:24 PM)
I live in a soceity where we had abortion on demand for over 40 years. It functions actually well here. The prolifers? well i haven't heard them for ages. Anyway this story i am sure rather belongs in the psychiatric care system. The woman is obviously completely out of balance. I have in my life meet quite a few women who have had abortions, both provoked and spontaneus. All of them agrees that it is not something which is "fun", but rather something which gives emotional scars for life. We are pretty open about speaking on these things in Denmark. But at least she has one use. As an advertising poster for birth controlpills. Abortion as such is here considered as the woman choice. In that way i can not see blame be put on the mans shoulders in this. Also when Madonna goes cradlesnatching, she is considered a "cougar" or strong woman. When a man does the same, he is a dirty old man. That is double standards in a big way.

breatheasone -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/6/2009 11:58:15 PM)
Yeah...i don't understand why 1 or 2 is ok, but 15 ....

Hierodule -> RE: 15 abortions for "Master" (11/7/2009 5:14:40 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: breatheasone Yeah...i don't understand why 1 or 2 is ok, but 15 .... Its not the number, its her intention. She knew she didn't want a baby, yet she took no steps to prevent her pregnancy becasue she WANTED to get an abortion. I believe that abortion should be available for "emergency" situations, not used as a form of contraception. No healthy woman wants to have an abortion. However some women in some situations feel they are necessary. I am sure that most women find it to be an extremely difficult decision.One that they consider carefully and that most likely affects them deeply. This woman treated the act of getting an abortion like it was a mani-pedi or a hair appointment. Something to do on a regular basis, on a whim. I think that is insulting to the reproductive rights movement. And to every woman who has ever had to terminate a pregnancy I believe that the rigth to chose begins BEFORE the cock goes in, not just after. I have been sexually active for 15 years (I'm 30). I have never had an abortion or been pregnant. I CHOSE not to have a baby. I consider myself a responsible adult. However, if for some reason one of my birth control methods failed at some point over that time period, I might have had an abortion. I can't really say because I have never been in the situation. One thing is for sure: I would think long and hard about it. And I certainly would never get pregnant with the INTENTION to abort it. As I said, it isn't the sheer nuber of abortions this woman had. It was her intention. It was the carelessness and flipincy with which she treated the act of terminating her pregnany. In my oppinion 1 or 2 DELIBRATE pregnancies for the PURPOSE of later getting an abortion would also point to some kind of mental illness and a need for therapy. However when we get into the range of 15 it points to a severe mental health problem and an obsession with self-harm.
