Why don’t you just eat the mother after [she dies in agony](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar)? An adult woman has more meat, and it gives you more of a chance to gloat over the suffering and death of your victim. ---

I have no problem with you eating your aborted fetus. I mean I’d think you were fucking weird but I think that about people who eat placenta too. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > NO FAIR! They wouldn’t give me my hip… The first time through I misread “hip” as “tip,” and wondered why this attitude never manifested in any of the old circumcision threads. Anyhow, the OP is clearly obfuscating. S/he doesn’t really want to eat aborted fetuses, that’s just a pretext: s/he wants to have sex with them. Or to conjure any other disgusting image they can somehow staple onto abortion. Not as a rhetorical device, just to appease whatever sensibility in their own psyche responds to such pornographic ideation. Apparently, even then, the OP needs a virtual audience to help him/her achieve tumescence/adequate lubrication. I feel I’ve already done my part. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Why are you asking others for their fetuses? Make, abort and consume your own. Or at least ask someone local to you for theirs. Most of us are thousands of miles from you. The shipping cost is going to make prime Kobe beef or bluefin tuna look like a bargain. This is the best take on “I can make it better and cheaper at home” I’ve seen yet… 😃 ---
