Eco Wacko Sterilized To "Protect Planet"
2007-11-23
Had Toni Vernelli gone ahead with her pregnancy ten years ago, she would know at first hand what it is like to cradle her own baby, to have a pair of innocent eyes gazing up at her with unconditional love, to feel a little hand slipping into hers - and a voice calling her Mummy.

But the very thought makes her shudder with horror.

Because when Toni terminated her pregnancy, she did so in the firm belief she was helping to save the planet.

And how many millions of years has this planet existed?

#10  I thought that was how they got them to drink. "You have to brick your camel."

#9  I was hoping it was a male eco wacko. In that case, I would hope they use the environmentally sensitive Arab method of sterilizing a male camel.

Hold his legs, and get behind him with a pair of bricks. After he's through jumping around, he'll settle down.

#8  Given the choice, she eliminated her unborn child rather than herself.

The truly sincere and unselfish thing would have been for her to have the kid, give it to some real parents, then dispose of herself in some environmentally benign way.

I would suggest the middle of the ocean, where her bio-mass would be quickly and efficiently recycled for the benefit of more deserving organisms.

#7  The Roe effect in spades.

#6  Heh, self selected for the Darwin award. Survival of the fittest and all that. Good riddance.

#5  There goes their whine 'in the name of the Children[tm]'. Got to rethink that game.

Oh, of course everyone else's children will be expected to pay the taxes for their old age pension and medical, unless of course they elect to off themselves rather than demand more from others than they themselves gave.

#4  #3 Still, genes counts.

#3  There will undoubtedly be some benefits to the gene pool at large (see “Boobs not Bombs” at Zombietime.com) but it will not result in total extinction of the lefty plague. Unlike, say, rats or cockroaches, leftists do not reproduce primarily by any biological process but by stealing the offspring of others through their control of the social indoctrination apparatus, specifically the media-industrial complex and public education.

The real answer to this is new media, the blogs, talk radio, and other independent outlets. This is why lefties hate the new media so much. To them, it is a threat of sterilization and they react as normal people do when they are grabbed by the gonads.

#2  Lemming pie.

#1  Actually, she was sort of saving planet from her genetic inheritance. The very thought that she would propagate makes me shudder with horror.
The unfortunatte aspect of it was the pregnancy, it is possible that be offspring would be okay if removed from her mother's harmful vibes right after birth.

The moral to eco-wackos: Sterilize yourselves before any potential pregnancy.
