Disciples of a New Dawn...

[wegrowsheep]

Ugh... Someone that wants attention? Stirring the shitpot? Hope it's a joke...

I saw this lastnight too and was SO mad...DH talked me down, though, so that's good.

He pretty much said the same as pbubblegum, that there's no point in getting so upset with someone so ignorant.

I am perfectly fine with the fact that I ended up with a c-section. I know that I tried everything to get him out vaginally and he was stuck (and had the cone head to prove it) and after 3 hours of pushing, I was exhausted. I don't feel like I got a lucky break at all!

It's religious whack-jobs like that who give the rest of us Christians a bad name.

Every church that is in waaaay left field has to have a podium or a stance that makes them stand out. Westboro hates on the LGBT community and the military, this church has apparently decided to attack mothers who don't go "all natural." It just gives them a forum and a way to get their message out there and get people enraged. Negative attention is still attention and publicity.

I think it's all satire. Their whole page is full of stuff like that. Unfortunately there are definitely people out there that think this way. Sanctimommy on FB does this same sort of thing about parenting in general.

[mrsdee1982]

I cannot even comprehend this. What? Just what???

[bendherova]

what the actual fuck. and no, I haven't seen this. Bc you know, major abdominal surgery is such a lucky break. FFS.

[junch817]

Actually now that I look at it some more, especially in comparison to that sanctimommy page I mentioned, it doesn't have enough likes for me to be sure it's satire. More likes than it should, but not 10s of thousands like a real satire page has. Ugh. Ridiculous.

So i saw the post and paid it no attention. But the fact remains there are some women who feel like they didnt give birth if they had to have a c-section. My sister is one of them. MAYBE if we had been born 50 years ago she would of been able to have a natural birth bc doctors didnt have the medicine or the technology that we have now a days. She says she doesnt feel like she had her children that they were taken from her. Granted I am a FTM but after carrying this baby girl for 9 months ( technically 10), If having a C-section means bringing a healthy baby into this world there is nothing wrong with that. People just like to pray on womens weaknesses when they are pregnant and this is 100% one of them.

[ladysif]

That is disgusting. Unfriend.

[billyhorrible]

I don't get it. Someone is advocating dead babies as opposed to c-sections in order to prove you're a "real woman"? Yeah. That makes sense.

I think it's pretty obvious that everyone here thinks these people are nuts (if this is in fact a real statement and not satire). Why are giving them attention? It's obviously what they are after.

It took every ounce of self control in me yesterday to not repost with my own rant for this very reason.

Did you see the one with the picture of the young pregnant woman that said something like "if your teenage daughter looks like this, you totally failed as a parent." And then something about how you should have tried to raise a virtuous woman instead of a "dirty little harlot".

Seriously, it's so disgustingly offensive, it's actually laughable somehow. I am unable to comprehend how they (or other "church groups" like them) can live with themselves or convince themselves that they're doing any sort of "good".

There is a church in our area -- well, they call themselves a church.  I would classify them as a cult -- that our local paper has been writing about that advocates spanking NEWBORNS who exhibit a rebellious spirit.  I once thought organized religion was a great way to keep one's moral compass in check.  Now I think parents have the greatest challenge of all, which is to teach your kids what is actually right and wrong and how to make those decisions for themselves even if/when it is direct contradiction with what a so-called religion or religious leader is telling you.

I also thought/assumed it was a bad attempt at satire. I have a hard time believing anyone actually thinks that way, but I guess maybe some people do. I can't imagine a more selfless act of 'mothering' than allowing a woman allowing herself to be cut open because it's in the best interests of her child. I hope to have another vaginal delivery but I would punch someone in the face if they told me a c-section wasn't a real birth.

Dead babies and dead mothers!  That was my initial reaction.
