Frank Pavone: Adoptees are not your agitprop

This will be short and sweet. In fact, I have a differently-focussed piece on adoptees as props back in the oven, but the subject turned up on my Twitter feed a little while ago, and I just had to share it,

Fr, Frank Pavone, founder of Priests for Life, forced birth whack, and all-around slavering Trump  lover tweeted today:

2:57 PM – 28 Feb 2019

Now, when I was doing oppositional research at clinics on a regular basis, I saw a lot of this. Often the sign-holder was a toddler or a little older, (presumably an adoptive acquisition) telling us, “my mommy didn’t kill me”  or demanding “don’t kill the babies”  or preaching  “abortion kills children.”  They were accompanied by the usual adult wannabe pleader advertising their desire to adopt a stranger’s fetus. I felt bad for the kids. I once asked a 10-year standing in front of the Ohio Statehouse if he were adopted, and he affirmed but didn’t seem real pleased about it. I told him I was too but didn’t carry it any further. He’s probably in therapy now. 

So, this afternoon unable to control myself,  I responded to .Fr Frank:

and later added:

Neither of which has shown up on on the Pavone feed, though I am not blocked. Strangely enough, a tweet from someone named Michael asking how many children Pavone has raped did.

Responses to Pavone’s post are expected. Here are a few as of this writing

I’m feeling fairly nice tonight and have removed tweet handles. Besides, I’m a Luddite and I have a problem with screenshots

  • Modern day saintly family standing right there!! How inspirational they are!!
  • I know people who want to adopt, I may someday also!
  • Adoption is the positive alternative
  • I’ve adopted 3 children, the best decisions I ever made. What else you got to do with your life? See how much “stuff” you can aquire before you die
  • God bless the Cook family
  • A sweet man called into Patrick Madrid’s show & said he wanted to tell a woman at the abortion clinic that he &his friends would pay 2 months salary for her & help her if she had her baby. People want to help these moms!
  • You’re missing the point. Adoption would be ???? better than the mother killing her unborn baby.

and the rather weird:

  • So many babies (that were aborted) that other families want to ADOPT Father~ Someone should have Congress write a BILL on these ABORTED fetuses; so others can ADOPT these little ones?

Note that no adoptees have responded, and as usual our thoughts were never requested. We’d just be disabused of our opinions and abused in other ways anyway.  My own twitter has an ongoing “discussion” with the not-adopted on how it could be possible that any adoptee might be ungrateful and even wish they had been aborted rather than tossed into the adoption spammer. Tsk Tsk One frequent commenter insists that women who have abortions want to be men.
Now I’ve had other run-ins with Fr Pavone in the past
During the Operation Save America hostile takeover of downtown Columbus in 2004 ( which included an assault on a Chanel 6 cameraman and a public Koran burning assisted by a convicted rapist on the OSA staff,) Frank held a fetal funeral in front of City Hall  for the supposedly aborted  “Baby Mercy.” The partially decomposed remains, which were available for mass public viewing as a show of “respect for life” and the curiosity of small children, are widely believed to be that of a stillborn from someplace in Europe that was brought into the US through the Vatican diplomatic pouch at least 20 years (now 35 years) earlier for stage purposes.

But before that, I had already developed a relationship with Frank, During the Christian Coalition 2001 Road to Victory conference in Washington, I shared an elevator with him at the old Hyatt Capitol (where Reagan was shot). I have always regretted not taking Frank to my room and having my way with him.  I would have taught him a thing or two about adoptees. Instead, we just shared an intimate smile. I know I’ve never forgotten it. Has he?

Oh, I almost forgot!

Frank and folks:  Adoptees are not your property.

If you really are about Class Bastard oops, I mean adoptees–sorry–

stop using us as props,

stop sticking us in the middle of your religious-political agenda,

stop blocking the restoration of our civil rights because somebody somewhere might get an abortion.

Just go away!
