This does not appear to be satire. According to this article this is why she is so bent on the subject of PP.
Sad.

(4,238 posts)There are PLENTY of children available for adoption. Those who wish to have a child can always have one without actually giving birth. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term because some cannot have children is no excuse for her stance.

No excuse, indeed, Carly.
It's telling that she didn't adopt. But I'm kinda glad she didn't. I don't know if I would want any kid to be adopted by this crank case...
I would adopt if I could.

(57,936 posts)And Planned Parenthood helps women stay healthy so that they can have children..
My philosophy is that every child should be a wanted child.
We extend life with modern medicine.
We should also use modern medicine to make sure that the size of our human population leaves room and resources for other living beings in creation.
I have been reading the Pope's Encyclica on the environment.
It is beautifully written, but he does not explain how uncontrolled increases in human population will permit other large species like elephants, etc. to survive.
The Encyclica expresses beautiful goals but is logically deficient in its analysis of how to reach those goals.
You cannot favor the unlimited growth of the human population and also support the survival of certain endangered species or the planet.
Perhaps Fiorina is so harsh in her opinions about abortion because she has never experienced a pregnancy in which her life or the life or well-being of her child was endangered.
The Pope has no wife and no children and should not indulge in judging people who do . What does he know about staying up all night with a child who is ill and will never get well? He is unfairly judging men and women who make extremely difficult decisions.
I do agree that no woman should feel she should have an abortion for financial reasons. As a society we should support our children and their parents. Monetary policy that promotes full employment is an important way to do that.
Still, in our threatened environment, we should responsibly plan our families.
I love children especially my grandchildren but a part of expressing that love is tp take responsibility for my consumption in the world. And very large families increase the human consumption of resources in the world and devalue all life.

(63,912 posts)She can't have children so she goes after women who CAN. Not ideology as much as her own personal agenda and shows a kind of fanaticism based on just her own situation.

(15,859 posts)Neither can I but Im not about to try to force other people to have them. And I sure as hell wouldnt dream of taking away another womans healthcare. This just shows her to be a jealous, vindictive, bully. Among other things.

(20,581 posts)who have had hysterectomies and/or oophorectomies cannot have children either - as is the case with women who have certain untreated infections. Planned Parenthood works to prevent such problems for women. She doesn't get that women's healthcare is not all about her I guess.
