Here was a recent headline that was at once entirely predictable, and also horrifyingly indicative of just how far-gone Western society is at the moment:
In What Might Be The Hardest Paternal Test Of All Time, Pornstar Bonnie Blue Who Famously Slept With 1,057 Men In A Day Is Allegedly Pregnant
I say the initial news report was predictable because the odds of conceiving when you allegedly copulate 1,057 times in a 24-hour period, are ever in your favor. However, the fact that the pregnancy became public was perhaps surprising.
Not that I think an Only Fans pornstar balks at the idea of stoking scandal and generating headlines to increase her own notoriety, but because the subscribers to her channel would likely be undesirous of pregnancy porn, though I certainly don't pretend to speak for any of them.
It seems reasonable then that someone in Ms. Blue's line of work would find the discrete extermination and evacuation of the life within her to be better for business, and thus extraordinarily tempting.
As it turned out, Blue announced the rumors were false:
'I am not pregnant,' Blue, 25, said in a Thursday, February 20, YouTube video. 'I'd say, about a week ago, [there were] rumors about me being pregnant and quite a lot of the media approached me and said, "Look, can you add [a] comment?" At the time, I was like, "A comment on what?" Because I'm not pregnant [and] I haven't even hinted at it. Nothing has been mentioned.'
According to Blue, she only started to lean into the speculation — the influencer teased via her Instagram Stories earlier this week that she was having 'cravings' — as a way to 'start giving back' to her followers.
'The last 24 hours I've hinted at being pregnant,' Blue said. 'I have never confirmed I was pregnant because I would never ever lie about pregnancy. Lying about pregnancy is a step too far.'
The entire episode made me curious to know whether or not the "safe, legal, and rare" abortion activists would have supported Ms. Blue's "right" to kill her child.
Let me remind you of the talking point, as spouted by Hillary Clinton:
The only reason to include a qualifier like "rare," is if there is an implicit awareness that there is something untoward, distasteful, or improper about the act. No one is arguing that legal and safe bungee jumping should be rare, for example.
Therefore, since they admit that there are circumstances where abortion should not be allowed, surely this would have been one of them, right?
Ms. Blue willfully, willingly, and wantonly used her body as an open receptacle for the seed of unscrupulous men. Her and her partners' lack of dignity, self-respect, and self-control might easily have resulted in a pregnancy. Unintended though it would have been, a pregnancy would be utterly predictable and the result of total and complete irresponsibility.
Had Ms. Blue desired an abortion, it would not have been due to rape, incest, or a threat to her life. It would have been a pursuit of pure convenience and future economic benefit.
So, would those on the Left, who so often posture that their support of abortion exists purely for the well-being of a woman in difficult circumstances, have defended a hypothetical Blue abortion?
Please understand that I know the answer to the question that I'm posing.
There is a reason that whenever public debate over the topic of feticide arises, abortion defenders rush to inject the emotionalism of exceptional cases. Regardless of the fact that nearly all abortions in the United States are committed as an act of convenience, no one in the media pushes apologists of abortion brutality to justify or defend it.
Human rights advocates would be wise to respond to this misdirection with a hypothetical: "If I agree with you that abortion should be legal in those cases that you cite, will you agree with me that abortion should be wrong if it is done for convenience or preference only?"
When the answer is inevitably "no," the jig is up.
That's why I find value in using the Blue pregnancy rumor as a test case. If abortion is a morally acceptable act to commit in order to prevent an adult from having to take responsibility for their own actions, then no one should have questioned or criticized Ms. Blue if she had chosen one.
But every single one of us knows how selfish, gross, and wrong it would have been for her to have one.
Does that not tell us all we need to know about this unsafe method of birth control that our self-absorbed culture continues to abide?
