On the other hand…

February 2, 2005 Stephanie Leary Leave a Comment

Why do I read Chez Miscarriage when I am not, have never been, and have never tried to be pregnant?

On the other hand, women who conceive via gestational surrogacy are selfish. They’re perversely exploiting the vulnerability of some other woman who’s clearly incapable of giving informed consent because her uterus functions correctly and therefore interferes with her cognition. Why don’t these women understand that their uterine anomalies are God’s way of telling them they don’t deserve to be mothers? Why don’t they understand that God hates them? Why don’t they put their deformed uteri to good use – like, say, by becoming superheroes who derive superpower from their affliction, hiding in shame by day and roaming the streets at night? Fighting crime?

Because she’s a fucking great writer, that’s why. And she’s on a roll this week.
