WASHINGTONMallory Pickens, a 13-year-old pro-life extremist attending todays March for Life event in the nations capital, was reportedly unaware that she had been impregnated the previous evening by a fellow member of her churchs anti-abortion organization. Right to choose? Thats a lie! Babies do not choose to die! chanted the sign-toting Lambs of Christ activist who is utterly ignorant of the fact that the semen of Kirk Tussle, a 13-year-old fellow church member and pro-life extremist, had completed the capacitation stage and resulted in a fertilized zygote following a fumbling sexual encounter at the Holiday Inn Express where their group had rented several adjoining rooms. Life from conception! No exception! At press time, sources close to Pickens predict that after discovering the pregnancy she will drop out of school, isolate herself from friends and family, and suffer crippling postpartum depression.

(61,694 posts)Anti-Choice extremists gets pregnant out of wedlock, on church trips, and sometimes by a relative. Sometimes they have abortions to cover it all up, then they resume their loathsome harassment tactics of women needing healthcare.
Pregnancy rates among the abstinence only are much higher than among the ones who practice birth control.

Geeeeeee. SPECTACLE. FEAR. and. RELEASE.
Sounds just like sex.
Guess when you're that cut off from evolving society, having hysterical public sexual conversion reactions is better entertainment than watching Fux followed by Survivor, MTV and commercials, and bible study.

(12,233 posts)One of my good friends was impregnated by the pastor's son on a Yout Sleepover at the church. Guess they didn't think mixing "their teens" together wasn't the best of ideas. Who would think adolescent teens with the same teen hormones every child seems to get, wouldn't mess around behind their parents backs.
It set her life upside down and the scandal was a harsh sentence on her belly that proves the "crime". Needless to say, she was about the biggest opponent of organized religion having dealt with the ultimate treatment in hypocrisy.
I can't find it funny.
Especially not the part about crippling post-partum depression. The fact that this is reality for so many people is just too sad.

(46,436 posts)is that she wouldn't have known so soon that she was impregnated. This is a very believable scenario. I know because my first sexual encounter was with someone I met at church camp.
