Today's Evil Beet Gossip

I’m Headed Off to a Business Lunch

In my absence, I suggest you guys read through a valuable new blog on the Internet: What to Expect When You’re Aborting, where a 23-year-old is currently blogging her abortion process with honesty and a sense of humor.

The tagline:

“I’m 23. I’m knocked up. And I don’t want to keep it. You can fuck yourself, Judd Apatow.”

Whatever your view on abortion, it’s an interesting read, and I plan to keep tabs on this young woman.

  • Um, well, maybe if she just fucked herself she wouldn’t have to be giving out supposed “humorous” comments to Judd Aptow.

    If I went based on that opening line I wouldn’t really feel awfully sorry for her in this situation, but certainly would for any unfortunate egg that got fertilized in her…they never stood a chance. Take a bit more responsibility and avoid dick like the plague. Safer for all concerned…..

    Now, circumstances beyond the choice to have sex without sufficient protection is one thing…rape, etc., another….failed birth control as well…but if it’s a case of not being ready for parenthood..well, the only sure thing is no THING, ya know?

  • It’s kind of interesting although choppy and hard to comprehend in certain areas. I’ll keep watch for a bit though, it’s an interesting twist to the blogosphere.

  • sounds like SHE’S trying to fill the juno abortion void. does a good job of channeling cody diablo, but that’s just annoying.
    “Oh my abortion!”

  • What if it turns out to be a fake blog and this ‘girl’ has a change of heart and decides to keep the baby and turns pro-life…?
    Hopefully not. I’ll keep tuned in though.

  • @TSS: Her fat ass? Ok I have seen pics of Sasha, and fatass is not the term that comes to mind…bitter much?

  • Does this lady have a contact email that we know of?

    I’m a teen Brit who’s been through the whole abortion process, and I’m definately going to watch this one.

  • I read it and I really liked it. :) And who the FUCK are YOU TSS? Bugger the fuck off.

  • that’s awful. something like that is nothing to make light of, no matter what decision you make. it shows her complete immaturity, and I really hope that she’ll learn from this.

  • I love people like TSS, because of focusing on things that make him/her happy, they have to go shit on everybody else. Too bad TSS wasn’t aborted, maybe his/her mom should blog about that eternal mistake!

  • I’m sure a lot of people who comment on that site will have their knickers in a twist, so let’s just hope that they can really articulate what is “pathetic”. You wanna comment like that? Back it up.

  • queenie, besides not being interested in reading the ”blog”, it PATHETIC because it’s not interesting to me. Does that satisfy your “back it up”? pathetic because why in hell would one want to blog about a personal doing? f**k, it is just so personal. “Oh, let’s UN stigima it. Whatever. Some things need to be kept to oneself whether you have that choice OR not. Just keep the mouth shut and move on.

  • Umm not sure I get it, I didn’t read much though but if she’s having an abortion when is she gonna go get it? Do you have to wait to a certain month? I though abortions are just more costly and dangerous as time goes on? Why is bothering being pregnant at all just to abort it? Is she just staying pregnant long enough to get a following on her blog? Clearly I don’t know a lot about abortions so feel free to not answer in an a-holeish way.

  • @ jemms

    You seem quite angry, number 1, and second, maybe she blogs about it because she doesn’t have anyone in “the real life” to talk to her about it. I’m sure shes scared and feeling very lonely and as she said on her blog, she looked up blogs about abortion and found very little, so she felt that maybe she could help someone who was making a similar choice in the future. I do understand you believe it should be kept personal but I don’t think she just wanted to keep her mouth shut and move on, its really not that easy.

  • Nic- scratching my head and asking the same questions as you. Maybe she has an appointment but has to wait.

  • in certain states you can have an abortion at the 23rd week of gestational age
    which is frankly a disgusting option
    considering that in a pregnancy
    a 23rd week premature child can survive
    with appropriate care

  • Regardless of attitudes towards abortion using it as birth control totally screws your body up. Not necessarily your mind. Your body. Which has more control over your mind than you think it might. Maybe blogging might make her feel more in control over the process, she can pretend she’s in a “scripted reality series” like the Hills…

  • krz, thank you. blog, blog, blog. nobody will ”listen” to me. please. so, i cry for attetion by ”blogging” and thus creating attention and stirring up feelings in people.

  • I have a new puppy, and, well, it just doesn’t fit with my busy life. I was so excited when he wandered up to the house, but now he craps all over my floor while I’m at work and out on the town at night. I am left with no choice but to terminate the puppy. What do you peeps think, should I:
    A) Feed it antifreeze – $8 at walmart but no blood – yeah!
    B) Stab it in the heart – $0 free but bloody, ew, gross!

    Anyone know another way to kill a puppy that doesn’t require money and isn’t messy?

    I was so scared when at first, but now I have found the courage to face this reality. I’m going to blog the whole thing on mypuppyabortion.com. Oh, and Fuck Pamela Anderson!

  • This is a poor pathetic woman. I hope she is rendered infertile. She will suffer on judgement day. Coward.

  • Interesting blog… I will keep watch on it. Im not sure I care for her structuring/bluntness but maybe thats just her writing style. Im thinking if she is weighing her abortion options maybe that is what the hold up may be.. but Id get going on it. No way would I have an abortion after 10 weeks anymore.. not knowing what I know now.

  • > I hope she is rendered infertile. She will suffer on judgement day. Coward.

    Spoken like a true hate-filled Christian hypocrite.

  • Puppy Killer, that is so not funny and I just shouldn’t be laughing. But I am.
    I am a sad sad person. LOL!

  • There can be accident with birth control, and no form is 100% affective to start with. This girl seems to think she isn’t ready to bring a child into the world, and who is anyone else to judge? Would you prefer she had a kid and give it a shitty life? Since not much is elaborated on about her situation, it seems hard to judge her from a moral standpoint.
    As for the blog, it seems to be an honest look at what it is like to go through an abortion, and I don’t see why anyone would take great offense to that. If you are strongly anti-abortion, don’t read it, but if it makes her feel better, and helps others in her situation, then what’s the harm?

  • I’ve heard it all now…..
    In a few years she will look back at her abortion blog and feel remorse.

  • Says who? Not everyone who aborts feels remorse. It’s not my thing but I don’t stand in anyone’s way who makes that decision.

  • This blog is an important undertaking. If we don’t discuss controversial issues like abortion out in the open, then young women in the same situation will have nowhere to look for information to help them make their decision.

    As she outlines in her blog (to answer a few questions) she can either take a few pills which is effective until the 7th or 8th week. If that fails she would go the surgical route, but you have to wait until the 8th week or so or it may fail (I forget when exactly).
