The title of Dr. Mike’s latest Townhall piece strenuously hints that he’s about to go all Swiftian on our asses, and while I suspect there’s going to be more Premium Ham and less Jonathan in the presentation, I don’t want to prejudice the jury. So let’s all sit back and enjoy the flint-edged satire, shall we?
In recent years, I’ve been forced to re-evaluate my positions on a number of subjects.“For instance, I used to think that merely hearing the word ‘vagina’ would make my mighty manroot fold over like the Uncle Sam air dancer at a car dealership when you shut the fan off. But now I realize that I also go limp when I hear the words cooter, distaff, and pants-peach.”
Last week, it happened again when New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed legislation making New Hampshire the first state to repeal a law requiring that parents be notified before a child decides to kill its unborn baby. This legislation has now helped me get over my antiquated moral objections to statutory rapeGiven that Dr. Professor Mike wooed and wed one of his own students, I have a feeling his objections to sex between older and younger partners is less a matter of moral principle and more a matter of degree.
Governor Lynch said he believes parents should be involved in the minor’s decision to abort but that “unfortunately” such input is “not possible” in all cases. If that is true of the decision to abort, how much more true is it concerning the decision to have sex? It would be nice if a parent were around to help a ten-year old decide whether twenty one-year olds’ sexual advances are best rejected, but such supervision is, after all, rarely a realistic possibility.Mike, Mike, it’s only the second paragraph, and you’ve already turned into the overexcited dweeb who blows his load before the other guys in the circle jerk even get their pants off. Pace yourself, dude.
Currently, all but six states have laws requiring parental notification or consent for a minor seeking an abortion. But eight others (excluding New Hampshire’s) have been deemed unenforceable according to NARAL Pro-Choice America.Just for the record, Mike’s cribbing this statement from the Associated Press (“Forty-four states have laws requiring parental notification or consent for a minor seeking an abortion. Nine laws, including New Hampshire’s, were unenforceable, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America”) but he did have the decency to make some minor word changes, much like the waitress who good-naturedly allows you replace the home fries with a pear slice and cottage cheese, even though the menu says No Substitutions. Unfortunately, it leaves the impression that NARAL Pro-Choice America has assumed unto itself the power to declare state laws unenforceable, when it fact it was the governor who noted a constitutional flaw in the statue: “Lynch cited the law’s lack of a provision regarding the pregnant minor’s health, agreeing with the judge who ruled the law unconstitutional in 2003.”
I’ll soon be contacting NARAL to ask them for support in my efforts to have far less easily enforced statutory rape laws abolished in all fifty states across the nation.Apparently Mike feels that laws regarding the age of consent are unenforceable unless they include a provision to protect the health of the minor, since everyone knows that intercourse prevents your balls from exploding, and makes your face clear up without the potentially dangerous side effects of laser blackhead removal.
Recently, Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen said that a person can be pro-choice and simultaneously take the view that parents have a right to know whether their children become pregnant.Why yes, he did say this recently. Quite recently. In fact, he said it in the very same article that Dr. Mike stole the rest of his column from. It’s a small world after all.
But what Cullen should have said is that it is not possible to believe that a child has a right to consent to abortion while simultaneously taking the view that she may not consent to sex. In fact, the sex is pretty much a prerequisite to the condition of pregnancy.Of course, sometimes sex to which a child did not consent causes a pregnancy, and denying her the right to choose an abortion is sort of like getting two rapes in one. But the repealed law involved parental notification, not consent, and most teens who can tell their parents, do. In the relatively few cases where they can’t, preserving the health of the minor doesn’t always refer to the risks of pregnancy, sometimes it just means avoiding a beating.
Planned Parenthood offices around the nation have long concealed sex between children and adults in cases where the child has already been impregnated by the adult.How exactly does Planned Parenthood conceal sex between children and adults? I suspect it’s either through a cunning use of decorative shrubberies, or perhaps when the May-December intercourse commences, a Planned Parenthood counselor points excitedly in the opposite direction and shouts, “Ah! Gamera!”
Or maybe Dr. Mike is just referring to Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline’s failed fishing expedition into the medical records of Planned Parenthood in an effort to publically shame girls and women who have had sought reproductive health services:
In a broad interpretation of Kansas’s mandatory reporting law related to child abuse and neglect, Kline has said that health care providers are required to report any sexual activity between teens under 16 as “abuse,” regardless of consent and the age difference between the partners. The definition of sexual interaction is so broad and vague as to possibly include teenage petting…But back to Dr. Professor Mike:
Then, on April 18, a federal judge ruled that Kansas law does not require health care workers to report the sexual activity of people under 16, invalidating Kline’s interpretation of the law. The judge also ruled that Kline’s interpretation, if allowed to stand, would violate the constitutional privacy rights of teens.
“The state has a strong interest in protecting minors and promoting public health,” wrote Judge J. Thomas Marten in his opinion. “But … the Attorney General’s Opinion goes beyond the scope of the reporting statute, potentially criminalizing the decisions health care providers make in utmost good faith, and solely with the physical and emotional health of their patients in mind. The Attorney General’s over-expansive interpretation of the reporting statute not only fails to serve the public interest, it actually serves to undermine it by causing minors to avoid seeking medical services and potentially overburdening SRS [the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services].”
…Kline’s true motive in these recent actions was not lost on Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor of Slate.com. “Why … doesn’t he subpoena all hospital records for evidence of all teen births?” she wrote in February. “Is it possible that he is less interested in pursuing the real crime of teen sex than the non-crime of abortion? … This [reporting] law — along with Kline’s attempts to subpoena state abortion records … is part of the attorney general’s single-minded use of his vast authority in the sole interest of hassling Kansas’ abortion providers.”
Understandably, they do not want to let the legal “complications” surrounding child rape to interfere with a child’s willingness to seek an abortion. But no reasonable person could disagree with the assertion that statutory rape laws exert a far greater deterrent to a child’s right to control her own body.It kind of seems that – oh, I don’t know – getting pushed down the stairs by an angry, Lone Star-sodden stepfather you were legally obliged to notify of your pregnancy, or being forced to carry said pregnancy to term, would actually present “a far greater deterrent to a child’s right to control her own body.” But no one’s ever accused me of being reasonable.
I would suggest that concerned citizens everywhere take a page out of the Planned Parenthood playbook and start to help children who wish to exercise the right to express themselves sexually.Pass out brochures and prophylactics? Mike, buddy, I’d like to help, but I’ve only got three Lifestyles Tuxedo Black Condoms With Extra Head Room left, and it’s the weekend, dude!
In fact, starting today I plan to open up my home to any child who needs a place to explore her sexuality with an adult. A ten-year old and her twenty-one year old boyfriend can use my extra bedroom anytime with as much confidentially as she would expect from the good people at Planned Parenthood.Again with the 10- and 20-year olds. What is Dr. Mike’s obsession with sex between people a decade apart in age? Could it have something to do with his being born in 1964, and marrying, in 2001, a woman who had just graduated from college (making him 37 and her, what? 22? 24?) Hm. Nah, nothing unsavory there. I’m sure they have lots in common (besides a love of threatening emails).
We already have an America in which it is difficult to buy little girls clothes that do not make them look sexual. And we are well on our way to allowing these children to kill their children just like adults have been doing for years. Progress and moral consistency both demand that we allow them to have sex with adults.Geez, Prof, you're going an awful long way just to get a date. Couldn't you just take out a personal ad in Highlights magazine, or something?

O.K. if he were talking about, say a Twenty one year old boyfriend
(or girlfriend) and a fifteen or sixteen year old partner he might have
a point. But ten year old girls!? (shakes head madly) NO! BAD
THOUGHTS! WRONG! Also: “In fact, starting today I plan to open up my
home to any child who needs a place to explore her sexuality with an
adult.” Ick man. Just…ick.
Actually, I think I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Then I
think with all I know about him, I know he doesn’t deserve it. Still I
think that his piece might be satire gone horribly, horribly wrong. Darn
creepy though.
Not only that, Gundamhead, but Mikey seems to be fine with the
idea of a ten-year-old girl carrying a pregnancy to term. Otherwise why
would he object to her getting an abortion?
So his misogyny extends to children. Why am I not surprised?
Y’know, D. Sidhe, when I started reading your comment, for a second I thought it was Annti. (I mean that as a compliment.)

I totally want to be Annti when I grow up.
Dr Mike continues to be a fuckwit at any age, and I’m officially going to just shout “vagina, vagina, vagina” at all of his opinions on women’s health until he admits that sometimes, those fucking pricks who rape the ten year old girls are the ten year old girls’ fathers, and that demanding laws requiring parental approval of abortion in these cases is pretty much the equivalent of beating those ten year old girls and their embryos to death with a roofing hammer.
Hey Dr Mike, how’s that for baby-killing, you sub-human troll?
Of course, sometimes sex to which a child did not consent causes a pregnancy, and denying her the right to choose an abortion is sort of like getting two rapes in one.
Don’t think he doesn’t know that. I bet it gives him a shameful little woody and a frisson of glee he can almost mistake for orgasm, like a little boy pulling the wings off a fly, or like an adult man shooting a tame, lame antelope in a canned hunt.

Well, if by “fuckwit” you mean “creepy sociopath so repellant he
could make a pinworm puke” then I agree with your description of him.
I have a college instructor who would say, yes, a ten year old
should carry the baby to term. Even if it is her father’s baby. Even
if the pregnancy will kill her. Because, you know, that baby is the
important thing, and she doesn’t believe in abortion, even in cases of
rape, incest, or saving the mother’s life.
I joined NARAL right after class the day she made that announcement.
Jesus wept, and so did I. WTF is wrong with these people?

I imagine after Dr. Mike finished this column, he patted himself
on the back for making such a fine analogy and went off to jerk off to
the young misses section of the JC Penny’s catalog.
Y’know, it’s not often that I am moved to tears of joy, (and
believe me, it ain’t about Dr. Mini-Mike) but Bill and D., y’all just…
aw hell, I can’t even enunciate it. You made my whole year. Though
from your words here (and so many other threads), D., honey, it is I who should be emulating YOU.
And everything that everybody else said, too — except for Gundum — the way that you keep “empathizing” with the lowest life forms on earth, the way that you keep defending monsters like this misogynistic closet-case beast who fantasizes about PREGNANT CHILDREN — I’m starting to suspect you of something… I’m not going straight for “concern troll,” as you appear to have been raised semi-properly and to have some measure of humanity and decency about you. But honey, don’t walk into a pinata party whilst we’re still swingin’ the stick, much less throw yourself atop the pinata in defense of it. Especially when said pinata is filled with maggots, tapeworms, and syphilitic insanity.
(And yes, I’m lame, I don’t know how to code the little wavy accent line over the “n” in pinata.)

Doc Prof Mike is a member of the _criminology_ faculty. Something
like this is his _field of expertise_. Shudder to think. Or, more to
the point, shudder 2, think zero.
I wonder if he has heard about the twelve year old girl up in
Medicine Hat, who, along with her 21 year old boyfriend, stabbed her
parents and her younger brother to death. Why on earth would someone be
supportive of an age difference when the younger half of the
relationship isn’t just a minor, they’re just on their way into middle
school? When I was 14 and dating a 17 year old, I knew I was looking for
trouble. It found me, nicely, but thankfully before I ended up having
to worry about an abortion. How good can any 20 year old man be, that
wants a 10 year old girl?
I’m keeping this rant short. I’ll sum it up with this: As a woman, keep your laws off my body!

Whoh! Annti, I’m definatly not trying to defend Dr. Mike of all
people! I’m just trying to figure out what the hell is going on in that
guys head. You’re probably right that he’s just fucked up. A look at the
other stuff he’s written before would certainly support that theory. I
guess I just can’t take the idea that people like Mike and Coulter and
Prager and Savage really are who seem to be, and actually make a living
being sociopaths. So if I sound like I’m making excuses for them, I’m
sorry for that. Believe me, I find them just as repulsive as anyone.
It’s okay Gundamhead. But you definitely are giving some of ‘em
too much credit. Dr Mike is especially tempting, because he seems to
have some modicum of self awareness from time to time.
But sociopaths do indeed exist, and are as far as I can tell plentiful, a point Dr Mike doesn’t seem to recognize as he declares that fathers should have a veto right over their daughters’ health care and sexuality. That’s not sociopathic, exactly, but it’s extraordinarily delusional and certainly creepy as hell.

It’s hard to even react to Dr. Mike’s drivel. Right off the bat,
you can tell you’re not the intended audience, what with his using “it”
as a pronoun to refer to young women and starting right in with the
“killing unborn children” phrase-ology. I try not to paint all
pro-lifers with the same woman-hating brush, but people like this lay
their intentions so frighteningly bare that it’s hard to believe that
misogyny isn’t the sole root of the anti-choice movement.
Well, Dr Mike’s had misogyny issues for as long as I’ve been aware
of him. So it’s probably safe to say that whatever the reason *other*
people are pro-life or anti-choice, Dr Mike’s anti-choice more than
pro-life, and he is so because he likes to have women under his thumb.
I’m not going to leap right in with the tiny penis cliches, but remember
that the man likes to shoot trapped animals and apparently can be
brought to hysterics by the mention of the word “vagina” or the presence
of women he suspects might be gay. So, you know….
…that the penis-extension doesn’t fall too far from the wingnut?
(And yes, they actually sell those, D., or anyone who’s never seen ‘em, as gross an idea as it is… First porn store that I ever saw up-close and personal, in Beaumont, TX, — imagine that, East Texans with tiny pricks — had ‘em, right up front in the glass case, in a rainbow of colors! They basically work like a condom, with a crash-test dummy on the end. Well, conceptually, it’s probably more like an airbag, but they were stuffed with some kind of polymer foam, so draw your own analogies.)
(And, sadly, because the “Look-Look” was right down the block from the humongo Mormon tabernacle, they eventually bought up the whole fucking block and destroyed my first porn store. Yeah, I know, what a tragedy. Still, when you’re reminiscing about your wild & crazy wasted youth, it’s nice if the landmarks are still around… *sigh*)

I heard that. They turned the Fantasy (Un)Limited in downtown
Seattle into a damned Seattle’s Best Coffee, like we need more of those.
Where the hell are we supposed to take the tourists now, I want to
know? I mean, there’s the Seattle Municipal Tower, but somehow it’s just not the same…

D. Sidhe, was that the little shop just down pill hill, not far from Freeway Park? That was a nice little store.
No, the big one across from the guys who throw fish at Pike Place. With the second floor…
New Hampshire the first state to repeal a law requiring that parents be notified before a child decides to kill its unborn baby.
“Its”? Oh…wait…someone else..
DAMMIT D.! Get out of my head!
I realize it’s a spacious two bedroom condo, and the walls haven’t even been painted, much less having the finish carpentry done, but I was hoping to occupy it at SOME point in this lifetime!

Sorry about that, actor 212, but my own head is horribly, horribly
overcrowded. Sometimes I just have to vacation from the zombies and the
bigfeet and the owls and the inner children and the imaginary friends
and the voices that sound like Jack McCoy, Rod Serling, and Bob Bakker.
It’s pretty much a zoo in there… and this is a really nice place you got
here. I won’t drink your beer or anything, and I’m handy with a
paintbrush if you’ve picked out a color.
I wonder what would happen if someone sent this column to Dr.
Mike’s university employer, what with its bald assertion that he is
opening his house “to any child who needs a place to explore her
sexuality with an adult,” particularly with the 10-year-old/20-year-old
scenario that immediately follows. It’s beyond disturbing, it sounds
like it might be borderline actionable. It would be fun watching Dr.
Mike complain about how liberals are so humorless and failed to get his
satire.
I don’t know. I don’t see anything satiric about his offer. Just creepy.

All the benefits, none of the cost! It works perfectly, just like Iraq!

In the interests of Dr (snicker) Mike head-explosions, I give you (TA-DA) :
Last week, the SA Parliament passed an amendment to the Children’s Act, stating that all children over the age of 12 were to be supplied free of charge at Govt clinics with all contraception (incl, where necessary, abortion)that they requested. No parental permission or involvement required.
Free bowls of Help-Yourself condoms are already available at all clinics and other public buildings.
The”age of consent” remains 16.
I think our Govt is actually serious about AIDS, STDs and teenage pregnancy. Unlike, say, Dr Mike and his fellow-travellers.
Suez in SA.
PS. I also thought the opening statement was an Annti special. (Waves.)

What did you say?
I thought that you knew how to read lips.
I tried to read the whole post, really I did, but I was squicked
out right at the start when Dr Mike described his fantasy in which
three-way sex is combined with incest and child-abuse:
It would be nice if a parent were around to help a ten-year old decide whether twenty one-year olds’ sexual advances are best rejected
The speculation about Actor212′s head is far more wholesome.

Mike, you son of a bitch, a child who is pregnant is not an IT, it’s a SHE.
One gets the distinct impression that ALL “shes” are “its” to Dr. Professor Mike.

I can’t even get past this yet. Holy fucking God. This is what’s wrong with Dr Mike in a nutshell:
Mike, you son of a bitch, a child who is pregnant is not an IT, it’s a SHE. Only WOMEN can get pregnant, you miserable little fuckwit. Women are REAL LIVE PEOPLE. They are not IT. There’s not a baby with some sort of inanimate scaffolding built around it. There’s a female human being with a fetus or an embryo inside. I know that’s complicated, but make a fucking effort.
Seriously, you suppose his assholic butting-in to the reproductive rights of women is based on a fundamental misunderstanding that men get pregnant too, and therefore his opinion on the subject is just as informed as any woman’s? Or does he just routinely refer to women as “it“?
I mean, I tend to refer to children as “it” when there’s some gender ambiguity, or just when I want to piss off people who think I should be happily breeding, but it’s pretty obvious to anyone who doesn’t think with their ear wax that if a child is pregnant, it’s a she.
So is Mike a gigantic, world class misogynist, or is he dumber than cud? Or is it just both.
I’ll be back to read the rest of this after the drugs kick in because frankly the nausea is getting to me. In the meantime, I’m gonna go throw rancid cantaloupes at a used copy of Dr Mike’s book.
