Thanks to the faithful readers who contributed their haikus! My spirit took flight with every carefully-placed syllable.
In a way, you're all winners. But in a much more real way, there is only one winner. And the winner is the individual who submitted this literary gem:
Aborted my child
I should have kept my legs closed
I'm a worthless slut
I should have kept my legs closed
I'm a worthless slut
Classic.
I had expected to receive some anti submissions. We actually received a half-dozen. (Of note: none of the antis who left comments left their names. Shocker.) Most of our anti comments are trite phrases that you can find on any posterboard sign propped outside a Planned Parenthood. But every now and then we get something really off the wall like the above. I have heard some hateful things in my life, but this is just revolting.
I don't intend to give so much publicity to this kind of sentiment, but it's worth getting the word out that it exists. It's offensive not only to pro-choicers, feminists, women, and your work-a-day human being, but even to some mild-mannered antis I'd bet. And I want the crazies to know that with every hateful utterance, you only make us MORE PRO-CHOICE. Nobody likes a crazy person.
This, dear readers, is why we <3 you so much, and appreciate all the non-crazy that you bring to this blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
