Call me a hopeless cynic, but I am suspecting that most children are happier alive than they would be dead – either dismembered or snuffed out with a saline solution, or some other equally decisive manner.
With this possibly mistaken view of things in mind, I would like to call to your attention a new “children’s book”, written by abortion fan (I mean that literally, not sarcastically) named mary walling blackburn, titled “Sister Apple, Sister Pig”.
It is about a little boy who, through discussing things with his loving Papa, understands that it was a wonderful thing that Mama aborted his older sister. Because she would have been a disaster for the family. So, instead, she’s a “happy ghost”.
Think I’m kidding? you can read this “children’s book” by clicking here.
Or, you can get a sense of its warmth and tenderness by reading this passage:
Lee tells Papa:
“I’m not sad that my sister is a ghost! If you kept my sister,
You would be tired, and sad, and mad!”,
“Why?” wondered Papa
“Because we would be wild and loud and
Sometimes we would fight.
Mama might be scared that she could not
Buy enough food for us.
Mama might not have enough time to read to me, to paint
With me, to play with me, to talk with me….”
Isn’t that lovely?
And later on, there is this delightful repartee:
“ Lee’s Uncle asks:
“Why is your sister a ghost, Lee?”
“Mama had an abortion before she had me.”
Lee explains to Uncle.
“Sister is a happy ghost” Lee assures Uncle.
I doubt you’ll be surprised to learn that nowhere in the book does little Lee realize, or is he told that, because Mama and Papa wanted one child, not two, it was just as likely that :
-He would have been the one who was aborted.
-He would have been the one whose existence – in the real world that is – would have caused Mama and Papa to be tired, sad and mad, because he and his sister would have been wild, and loud and sometimes would fight.
-Oh, and he also would have been the cause of their family going hungry because Mama wouldn’t have enough money for food. Or enough time to read, paint, play or talk to his sister because he was there too.
I’ll just bet Lee would have been thrilled with “happy ghost” status instead of his sister. After all, it is wonderful. mary walling blackburn says so.
Would you buy this “book”? Read it to your child?
I’ll say this much. The subject matter matches the book. They’re both abortions.
