Lifesite does it again

[pegkerr]

Get a load of this particular hobbyhorse.

Not content with the critical skills offered by Michael O'Brien, that "foremost Harry Potter critic" (see here) Lifesite helpfully publishes another essay with this fascinating hypothesis:

We wish to hypothesize that the popularity of the Harry Potter series is due to the fact that the themes and the main character strike deep chords in the minds of our younger generation because they are abortion survivors.

Read the rest here.

Really, there are no words.

Re: Abortion Survivors?

[psychic-serpent.livejournal.com]

Isn't everyone ever born sort of like an "abortion survivor"? Or are planned kids exempted. I know ONE PERSON whose mother seriously considered aborting him, but instead married the father and then divorced him ten years later after a totally sucky marriage that her father talked her (and her husband) into. Does that make HIM an abortion survivor? I think he'd only deserve that label if she'd actually gone to the illegal abortionist (it was 1969) and then she was still pregnant after the procedure. THAT'S an abortion survivor (either that or a woman who has an abortion but nearly doesn't survive it, which was definitely a possibility with backstreet abortions in 1969).
