How is the hypothetical Obama: "Punished by having a baby" meme

[4themind]

be reconciled with his prior statement "I have two precious daughters — they are miracles.". Miracle punishments perhaps :shrug:
P.S.:Careful now, this is a Socratic question for those that are pushing this meme

1. Punished by not having the information

to prevent the consequences of STDs and unplanned pregnancies.

This is NOT an issue to politicize.

6. I agree. It was clear to me what he was saying.

No big deal.

9. Thank you pirhana for not jumping over this ridiculousness.

11. Of course it was clear.

But you can mangle it into a retarded sound bite, so people will do that, even if it's bullshit. Welcome to politics.

2. Being forced to have a baby is one heck of a punishment

for getting pregnant accidentally, wouldn't you agree?

10. Anti-choicers are called "forced birthers"....

...(by pro-choicers) for a reason.

3. They are grasping at straws. n/t

4. Why don't you read the full quote in context?

Last time I checked, Obama and his wife were married and adults when they had their 2 daughters.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. Just wait for 2nd stage labor - ow!

if everyone could go through the pain of those contractions - yow! I didn't have an epidural.

7. Prior to answering...

...perhaps you could answer a questions?


What do you mean, "Socratic"? Does that have something to do with posting baited questions on hot button issues, yet not actually participating in the discussion?

8. You know what? All these fucking parents who are just

"horrified" by what Obama said are really full of shit. First off he didn't say that their kids are punishments. But maybe he should have. Any parent who says they never see their children as punishments have never had to pull a cat out of a microwave. Or never spent 6 hours scrubbing ice cream out of the furniture. Or lied awake at night wonering where their kids were only to get a phone call saying your kid is fine, however your car is totaled.

I guess all of Hillary's supporters are the fucking Brady Bunch and the worst thing their little angles did was promise Davey Jones would play at the prom...

I may love my kids unconditionally but I certainly wouldn't make the claim that I have never in my life thought of my kid as a punishment. God apparently has a sense of humor and punishes each parent according to how hard they were on their own parents.
