Is This the Most Ridiculously Titled Book In History?

Check out this new book:

Happy Abortions: Our Bodies in the Era of Choice

That seems like a very unlikely, dishonest title for a book, doesn’t it?  Nevertheless, after you get past the ridiculously title, University of Adelaide professor Erica Millar writes that pro-life activists pushed an “emotional script” down the throats of women that describes abortion as a “procedure that is inherently productive of grief and shame.”

She argues that these negative feelings don’t emerge because murdering babies is bad or immoral.  Rather, the grief and shame are juset “produced” by the pro-life culture.

PJ Media has the details:

“The description of abortion as inherently grievable and traumatic generates a circular logic,” writes Millar, going on to claim that this logic itself — and not the act of killing an unborn child — creates the grief.

But even if a woman feels grief after an abortion, Millar argues that it’s negligible in the grand scheme of things.

“Abortion carries no predictable acute or prolonged emotional or mental health consequences for women,” argues Millar, a claim which she repeats numerous times throughout her book, as if she’s diligently trying to convince her readers.
