Gifts, people. Babies are gifts!

Also, periods and acne are gifts too. EMBRACE THEM!

Or embrace that low burning sensation you get right before you punch an idiot in the face.

Your choice.

LOL!!! That link has a story about Fethullah Gülen on the right hand side. You posted this for me right?

Because DH got the Big V.

Did you see the one suggesting that sex ain't sex unless you are 100% willing to catch a case of the babies? That one was my favorite.

[Velar Fricative]

ZOMG INGREDIENTS!!!!!

Some of these women must think vaccines cause autism too.

It's never the people whom you actually WANT to procreate that insist on not using birth control, is it?

[penguingrrl]

The amount of shaming and faulty assumption in that thread is fascinating. Man US schools really suck at teaching science!

Right? And you know, I'd have nothing to say if it was just women who were all, yeah, we're in a position to have another baby and/or hormonal birth control isn't my friend, or all of the myriad of decent reasons there are to not be on BC.

But nope, we have miss my ugly babies were unplanned and I'm making it work so you should too.

Shaddup, those babies are not cute and you all know it.

[Kristinmo]

The most fucking expensive gifts I've ever received.

[cattledogkisses]

Whatever. They can keep their oh-so-magical menstrual experience and I'll keep my shorter, lighter periods, clear skin, and lack of PMS.

Yes.

We need more smart babies in this world and THIS IS NOT HOW WE GET THEM.

"Because I can control myself"

WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!!??!

Why am I getting the feeling that chick believes the whole "the body has ways of shutting it down if it's legitimate rape" bullshit?

[Deleted]

Whhhhhy. What are these girls going to do when they have their desired 2.5 children? A vasectomy is a good option but not every man wants to have it done. Using some type of BC method is not "poisoning" your body. Gimme a break.

I've decided that idiot must get one zit a month and have a three day period.

[rumble]

Andplusalso: babies are NOT "cooler than pets"

I can say "what the fuck is your problem?" to my cats and I don't get a call from daycare on Monday about their "new, colorful language choices"

My nieces and nephews on the other hand...?

(Full disclosure: DH and I are planning to have kids eventually, and I'm sure we'll love them and think they're cool. That doesn't change the fact that my cats are cool as all fuck)

[Deleted]

If my cooler you mean shits their pants for the first three years and wrecks your house even though they know damned better, sure, cooler, that's the word I've been looking for.

I have a feeling it's even worse than that- she would never put herself in a situation where she could be raped. She's not one of "those" women.

[Deleted]

I kind of wish infertility on these snatches. Lord knows the minute their bodies do not cooperate the way they like, they will all of the sudden overcome their disdain for "ingredients."

[ESF]

If people want to wait until marriage, who am I to judge? But I can't wrap my head around this idea that the sole purpose of sex is babies. No. Sex is fun. If you want a baby, then that is like a side benefit of sex.

Going through life thinking only about sex as a baby making function seems like such a sad way to live. It's like people who think eating is about nourishment, not pure and utter enjoyment.

I understand that food was put on this planet to keep us alive and sex organs were given to us to help the species survived, but we have evolved, and with that evolution, comes chicken fried steak and depo provera. These are things to be celebrated. I can't relate to people who are still stuck in the stone ages on these things.

Ew. You're probably right. Just ew.

[cattledogkisses]

A lot of this stuff sounds like typical, run of the mill Catholic teaching.

We heard a lot about the supposed evils of birth control when we did our Catholic pre-marital stuff.

[wambam]

I'm over here hyperventilating. Fuck.

That makes me a virgin!

[eddy]

Why do I get the impression that almost none of these women actually have fucking children and might not even be sleeping with anyone.

"Because it allows men to use women with no consequences."

Well, your lack of birth control SURE SHOWED THEM! They will never use you now.

That was seriously the most broken one I saw.

[IIOY]

OMG

There is a lot of cunty fuckwittery in some of those "reasons."

[josieposy]

I did get a chuckle out of the lady with the twins.

Come back when you start potty training. Good luck to ya!

Yes it does. The same couple who was preaching to us about the importance of not having kids before you're ready and using NFP until that time because it's highly effective later talked about how their struggle with IF brought them closer together. I mean no offense at all to those going through IF as I understand how devastating it is, but you can't claim that NFP works great then admit that you're infertile.

Right???

And besides the straight up fun aspect, there's the intimacy between two people. I mean if you want to get all Jesusy and Lord God Creator on it, the simple fact of it is that the number one purpose of sex is an expression of intimacy and closeness between two people, probably to closest and most trusting, revealing act between two unrelated people.

Saying that sex is only for making babies is like saying that the primary purpose of parenting is to slap a diaper on a kid's ass and keep food in their belly. If you think that's truly all that's for, you are doing it wrong.

Are these people going to stop fucking when menopause hits?
