Apparently my video about how Planned Parenthood is obviously not selling baby parts has gone viral amongst horrified anti-abortion proponents, which has led them to flood my inbox and my Twitter feed with outrage.
Yesterday, one angry man Tweeted me this:
@rebeccawatson how dare that baby come stomping in and take over your stomach. He must have just appeared there I guess. #dontplaywithfire

I found it hilarious that a grown adult thought babies grow in a woman’s stomach, so I retweeted it and played along with a pretty decent baby-eating (and baby-pooping!) joke:
Sweetheart, if a baby ends up in my stomach, I'll know how he got there, and I'll also know how he's getting out. https://t.co/rWVypjO4sm

Then I muted him and moved along, because I have a life.
This morning, I found that my baby-eating Tweet had apparently caught the attention of the other anti-abortion folks, and judging from their reactions, I’ve realized that “nate_dogg1620″ isn’t just an outlier: there’s an entire hoard of people who want to force women to give birth but have no idea what that entails, down to the very basic fact that fetuses are carried in the uterus, not the stomach. In part, I blame the anti-abortionists’ use of euphemisms for nearly everything, to engender the most amount of emotional attachment and the least amount of scientific accuracy. In particular, the use of the word “womb” seems to have confused people who don’t realize it means “uterus,” as opposed to “magical place in the midsection of a woman where the stork delivers the baby.”
Here’s a selection of responses for your amusement/horror:
@rebeccawatson but let me guess, you are appalled at the killing of Cecil… Only up side you recognize exactly what it is… A baby!

@rebeccawatson I don't think you have to worry about getting pregnant.

There are probably more that I already muted, but that should be enough to convince you that holy shit, we need better sex education everyone.
EDIT: Thanks to Brandon K. Thorp and Adam Levenstein, I now know that these people are all coming from this hilarious article on YoungCons, where the author, Michael Cantrell, thinks that a stomach is the same as a uterus. Here’s the text of the post just in case they become self-aware and remove it:
Yesterday we showed you a video by a truly horrible, despicable human being defending the baby chop shop Planned Parenthood, and the overwhelming majority of folks who read the piece agreed the lady was sick and twisted.
Well, for those who might’ve been on the fence about how evil this girl is will no doubt jump on over after seeing this truly horrific tweet she posted to her account.
Seriously, this is demented.
Sweetheart, if a baby ends up in my stomach, I'll know how he got there, and I'll also know how he's getting out. https://t.co/rWVypjO4sm

Hmm.
That’s strange. She calls the unborn child who would be in her uterus a baby and not a clump of cells.
Looks like deep down this monster actually knows what she supports is the murder of innocent children.
It’s hard to believe there are people as disgusting as this chick in the real world, but lo and behold, here’s the proof of her existence.
This is a prime example of the twisted evil progressive ideology and culture produces, and believe it or not, there are many others like her out there. If we’re going to win the fight to preserve the right to life for the unborn, we’re going to have to confront this darkness both out in public, and privately in prayer.
While I’m so angry at Watson I could scream, and reading what she posts makes me want to slam my head against the wall — actions I wouldn’t advise anyone taking — deep down my heart aches for her.
She’s so consumed by darkness and selfishness she’s blind to depth of her own evil. This woman is headed down a road to destruction, both in this life and the one to come.
This is a realization I had upon reflecting on Watson’s video, and it hit me that this woman needs us to do more than just expose the darkness, though that’s certainly needed.
She needs us to pray for her and share the truth with her, both on abortion and the gospel of Jesus Christ, because only Jesus has the power to change her heart.
He’s sort of in the business of redeeming and changing monsters. After all, He did this for me.
Let’s hope all of this sinks in and she’s freed from her hate of the unborn.
