You know, these two comments by the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher have me thinking:

16. She placed her unborn child at risk
That is what we need to hammer her with.
What kind of family values does this selfish bitch have?

38. She lost me too (as if she ever had me in the first place)
But I can't possibly respect a woman who would do this to her unborn baby.
Quite obviously the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher is thinking the Palin infant should be been terminated before birth, because quite obviously the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher thinks if one is not destined to have a certain "quality of life," then one does not deserve life, period.
I have a real personal problem with this "quality of life" thing.
Back in the 1980s, when trying to unravel the mystery of why franksolich is the way franksolich is, in a medical textbook I found a description of the virus that afflicted my mother, and at the end of the chapter, it said "since the fetus cannot possibly have any quality of life, an abortion is recommended."
Well, I dunno.
I rather think I've enjoyed a rather high quality of life. It's true being deaf in a hearing society causes considerable problems, and because of some really stupid-assed mistakes and misjudgements I've made, of course life has not been exactly, uh, untumultuous.
But on the whole, I would rate my "quality of life" pretty highly; and I know for a certainty my quality of life exceeds the quality of life for 97-98% of the current human population; not only in those things given me by other people, but in opportunities, chances, risks and rewards, freedom.
Perhaps the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher is thinking of the Palin infant as being a "high maintenance" child, a burden to society in general, a drain on public monies.
Of course, the infant is destined to never be truly self-sufficient.
But on the other hand, the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher might be even more of a burden to society in general, a drain on public monies.
I'm not up on teachers' salaries down there in Kansas, but the greedy thorn primitive, who teaches in Wichita (rather than Kansas City), and who is nearly a generation younger than her peer further upstate, is paid circa $60,000 a year, and so it's probably reasonable to assume the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher is paid circa $80,000 a year, if not more.
The dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher self-admittedly reads, and posts on, Skins's island when she's supposed to be teaching.....and she's on the keyboard a lot; one wonders when she actually teaches, and notices she rarely goes to Skins's island during
non-school hours of the day.
So she's paid all this money--essentially, that teaching salary is nothing more than welfare.
I suspect the Palin infant is destined to cost the public treasury less, than what the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher does.
Or perhaps the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher thinks of "quality of life" as awareness and fulfillment.
Now, none of us here have what afflicts the Palin infant, but I suspect it's not any worse than, and in some ways even better than, what afflicts the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher.
One can reasonably expect the Palin infant to do his damnedest, using all the intellectual talents he possesses, such as they may be, to the utmost extent, to his limits.
And then we have the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher, who's never even come close to using all the intellectual talents she possesses, somewhat because of some glaring abnormalities in those body parts that make her a woman, but mostly because at some time in her life, she freely and voluntarily chose to be angry, bitter, resentful, Hate-filled.
An individual who has, for example, only "10" of something, but who uses all "10" of something, is more valuable to society than another individual who has, for example, "10,000,000" of something, but uses only "5" of it.
So which one is most likely to have a higher quality of life?
Now, of course decency and civility prohibit one from suggesting abortion, no matter how worthless the life might prove, but on the other hand, I think if the dysmenopausal Kansas school teacher's mother, circa 1952 or 1953, by mischance tripped down a set of stairs, coming out of it okay with only bruises, but resulting in a miscarriage of the infant inside of her, well, I wouldn't have minded that at all.
