Jeremy Irons "Abortion Harms a Woman"

Jeremy Irons, a man who’s previously equated gay marriage to incest, spent a recent Guardian interview preaching about the mental and physical cost of abortion. Jeremy, my guy! Do us all a favor and shut your fucking cake hole, okay?

Progressive Borgias-heads (all two of you) needn’t worry: Jeremy is pro choice—it’s just that he thinks you baby-vacuuming whores are all self-harming. It’s out of concern, you see!

From the Guardian:

“Take abortion,” he says. “I believe women should be allowed to make the decision, but I also think the church is right to say it’s a sin. Because sin is actions that harm us. Lying harms us. Abortion harms a woman – it’s a tremendous mental attack, and physical, sometimes. But we seem to get that muddled. In a way, thank God the Catholic church does say we won’t allow it, because otherwise nobody’s saying that it’s a sin.”

Actually, do a little research and you’ll find that far more harm occurs when safe access to abortion is limited. But, hey, accuracy-schmaccuracy.

at least you're not too bad at that. It's the sincerity. You fake that pretty well.

Notice I didn't say "great." But point well taken. He should STFU about women's issues, though. Appears he doesn't know shit about that.

several women who have had abortions and it did not harm them.

if women want to follow what the church teaches that's up to them.

Both save lives. Jeremy would undoubtedly evict a hot gallbladder without a second thought.

So until you grow a uterus, Jeremny, shut the fuck up and just go away. Nobody needs your concern.

He was filming "Lolita" at the time. He was a real jerk then. He walked around the set in his little silk shortie robe with not a care in the world it was gaping here and there. Mostly there. No matter who was exposed to him. He was a total Diva on set back then. Nothing like what he's portraying here.

Wow. I just realized that was 20 years ago. Even though I was young then, this still makes me old!

I'm somewhat glad my life took a different turn in college and I didn't get into that field. It wasn't for me, or my personality.
