Damned Catholics

Strange how the Catholic Church attacked Chelsea Handler for choosing not to have kids claiming that a woman can not be happy without being a mother, and yet at the same time they claim how priests and nuns are unprecedentedly happy for not having kids.

A Catholic mom responds to comedian Chelsea Handler

Ms. Handler and other childless women will eventually face the sadness of mortality without the companionship of children and grandchildren.

The pro-life activist Abby Johnson emphasized the first point, tweeting: “I wouldn’t trade my husband and beautiful kids for a life of meaningless hookups with strangers, alcohol, and loneliness. Good luck finding a mom who would.” This common response to Ms. Handler’s child-free preening has been around since the anti-family subtext of some extreme iterations of second-wave feminism stoked backlash. The desire for a family—no less than the question of whether men and women can be friends—forms the basis for the storyline in the classic 1989 romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally.” Sally is sure that she wants to forego motherhood in favor of jetting off to Europe whenever she fancies. But one day, she is out with her niece when the little girl points to a man and a woman with a child, saying, “I spy a family.” And Sally realizes that this is what she needs to be happy after all.

Meanwhile, The Blaze’s Sarah Gonzales articulated the second point, stating, “This self-serving, hedonistic, narcissistic woman will wonder when she’s 70 why she didn’t make better choices when nobody wants her and she eventually dies alone.”

Funny, but I seem to recall Ms. Handler saying she’s not equipped to be a mum, which strikes me as a very good reason to not have children.

What I don’t recall is her saying the other people having kids is a bad idea. Maybe the stick-up-the-bum types like Johnson and Gonzales could take a tip from Ms. Handler and mind their own bloody business.
