Simple summary of culture of death from the horse's mouth

[Brain]

A girl I went to high school with, who now is living an actively homosexual lifestyle posted this on her blog today

I hate all of the following, at least my own:

periods, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, female hormone cycles…If anyone wants any of them, they are yours for cheap. Although I do have to ask for some money since I haven’t been working much recently. **** rain.

I wish you could opt out of fertility. I don’t want to get pregnant. Not now. Not ever. Leave me the **** alone **** baby-making organs.

Needless to say I’m praying for her, but isn’t that telling?

This is rather revealing about the homosexual lifestyle.

And people say that homosexuality is not a psychological disorder? This person hates her own body.

I am unclear on something, however. Has or has she not applied to be an adoptive parent and the local adoption agency?

 

[Brain]

Well we are only in college now so no she has not applied. However she has in the past expressed no interest in parenthood of any sort.

Well, most of us know the wonders of grace. I’ll continue to pray for this girl and those like her. May she come to embrace her femininity and motherhood that all women are called to.

Salve Regina …

Why would you say that all women are called to motherhood? I’m not tyring to be rude, but sometimes I get offended by this.

I’m not sure that her attitude is unusual. As you have probably heard, no-period birth control has finally gotten FDA approval, but women “in the know” have been skipping the placebo pills for some time.

As a guy I can’t fully appreciate the difficulties and inconvenience of having a menstrual period. But I can imagine where a woman might desire to opt out of the monthly visit. I don’t think that desire is related to the culture of death.

I used to feel like she describes. I was sexually abused as a child, and felt my body had betrayed me by growing “sex parts” and drawing attention to me.

I was primarily abused by women, but also resented any unwanted sexual attention by men as well. Never did my hair, make-up, nothing feminine. I rejected it out of fear and shame for what was done to me.

Healing took place through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding. I grew to appreciate my wonderful body.

Please, all, do pray for this young woman. Clearly there is much pain and hurt there.

I don’t claim to know the source of homosexuality, but through the years, (often in therapy groups) I have met many angry, young lesbians who had been sexually abused as kids.

I also know lesbians who were not, but the tone of the quote makes me wonder…it sounds so sadly familiar.

I know most of you don’t agree, but I love not having periods. It gives me two days of my life back every month where I’m not doubled over in pain. lol

I really really like children, though I don’t have any, not having found a willling father for 'em. And I’m probably not called to be a mother for other reasons, health and so on.

I loathe the culture of death, in all forms, and do my bit for pro-life. I would for end-of-life issues too, but can’t seem to find any local groups devoted to this cause.

None of this means I enjoy the monthlies at all. No undue traumas to affect my perception, just don’t like 'em plain and simple. Anyone who dares to tell me or any other woman that we are wrong in any way shape or form to feel this way simply does NOT know whereof they speak.

I know Kit, and her comments were more wide reaching than simply her cycle.

Most women have felt the way she describes one time or other. I wouldn’t judge her. How do you know what it’s like to live in her body?

As someone who spent the day shopping while her ovaries were attempting to tie themselves in bows, I can fully appreciate not wanting to have periods. To be quite honest, it sucks and I say this as someone who has polycystic ovaries and very heavy periods. It really does suck. But I comfort myself knowing there’s a method to the maddness, and once the day comes when I hold my first child in my arms it will all have been worth it. Though I still reserve the right to complain about cramps, bloating, etc.
