11. Even a lesser light like myself gets criticized (as it happens in the pages of Williamson's old magazine National Review) without anyone bothering to interview me. Which is ok. It's fair to judge me by my words. Williamson as well.

22. I have to confess, I find the argument about being an abortion survivor puzzling on a metaphysical level. It doesn't account for the radical contingency of being.

23. I mean anyone who understands biology should realize that the fact that any of us are here is a immense miracle.We all survived abortion, or miscarriage or premature ejaculation. Why get mad at hypotheticals?

24. It's true that if Kevin Williamson's mom had aborted him he wouldn't exist. Also true that if his dad had prematurely ejaculated he wouldn't exist. Should we hang men who prematurely ejaculate? Where does this anger come from?

25. To clarify My point is that if Williamson's dad had prematurely ejaculated another sperm, not Williamson-homunculi, have impregnated egg. https://twitter.com/JohnnyDramamine/status/988156233545728000 …

26. I mentioned this before but Williamson's anger at his mom (who, for the record, did NOT abort him) often calls to mind Jack Kirby's weirdest creation, Paranex, The Fighting Fetus.pic.twitter.com/Ds1QEteVHH

27. The point of all this is that, as he admits, Williamson doesn't have a "public policy" position on abortion. He has a visceral feeling: that women need to be punished. That's psychologically interesting but something that Atlantic was rightly wary of.

28. One last thing: in keeping with Trollish Three-step, whenever Williamson is in safe-space of right-wing media, he reverts to fantasizing about hanging women:https://twitter.com/familyunequal/status/988155422602420224 …

Sometimes it is just the simplest solution. Whether or not Williamson consciously is aware of it, he wants to punish women who make decisions about their own body. Women are used to this. Men have literally been trying to kill us--and sometimes succeeding--for millennia.

Never heard of an abortion survivor. Is there a support group for such survivors? I’m imagining an “Abortion Survivor Day” at, say, a Dodger game, kinda like an appreciation day for firefighters or teachers. It’d be weird but I’d still go to the game
