Women Raise Dolls as Babies
How to satisfy those maternal urges after you've aborted your inconvenient, Gaia-afflicting children? Simple: buy a doll.
Many people like to stop and play with newborn babies, but now some adult women are playing house with fake babies.
Some women are even going as far as taking day trips with the fake babies to the park, out to eat, and even hosting birthday parties for them.
Forty-nine-year-old Linda is married with no children of her own. Now, she says she feels like a mother because she has Reborns — dolls made to look and feel like the real thing.
"It's not a crazy habit, like, you know, drinking, or some sort of, something that's going to hurt you. It's like a hobby. And it doesn't really hurt anybody," Linda said.
Not unless you count the real babies who never make it past the abortionist. But then, as another Reborn owner points out, real babies come with problems like college tuition and dirty diapers. Retreating into fantasy is cheaper and more convenient than carrying on the human race.

On a tip from V the K.

That's kind of amusing, sad, and wierd at the same time.
My friend had a dog that never had puppies, but she would lay down, take a football and put it to her belly like a puppy that was nursing. She had a sad, "I know, I know," look on her face, too.
What do you do when a grown woman sends you an invitation to come to her doll's birthday party? Other than call the psych-ward, I mean.
Clue the woman you are dating may not be the one? She brings a 'Reborn' to dinner.
Does she have a baby shower before she buys one of these dolls? Man, the questions are endless.

This is a great idea. Wish I had thought of it. Anything that helps these gaia loving idiots kill off their gene pool is alright by me.

This is the like the tons of supplements the vegans take, to compensate for the meat-derived nutrients they're missing. You know you're on the wrong track when you have to find a synthetic substitute for what would be available naturally.
For people who often claim to be "at one with nature," moonbats sure are technobionic, transhumanist in the lives they lead. They're already living in the Brave New World.

and yet biology is moldable and we are blank slates.
if so, then why feel compelled to hold something unreal, or hold the dead baby like chimpanzees do?
sigh

I'd like to point out that there are several vegans who are so far to the right that it is hard to listen to them. Many would consider this site too liberal for them. They might also be a little nuts--but they would never under any circumstance ever vote for a democrat. In fact, they have trouble being civil to a democrat and would consider somebody being a democrat grounds for divorce. I think they consider being a liberal a state of advanced disease.
What one eats is not necessarily a political choice. It could be a vegan has lupus, gout, hyperlipemia, or a dozen other health reasons to avoid animal protein. Being intelligent, such a person will supplement his/her diet with B12, omega fats, vitamin D, and a lot of soy protein. The person would be foolish not to.
Of course some vegans are as liberal as Obama--it is difficult to be more liberal. I think it unreasonable to label a group of people based on what they eat. It is much easier than that to spot these liberal enemies of sanity.

Do they breast feed? If so, I bet there will be some law passed soon to stop them from doing it in public. Oh wait, they already did that.

bah humbug's got my vote.
All this abortion idiocy is immoral but good for the US and the planet. It is a self limiting factor for morons.

This is not entirely new. For years, childless women have adopted cats and small dogs as child surrogates. This takes it to a new level.
I am also reminded of the 2001 movie Artificial Intelligence, where Haley Jo Osment played a robotic version of one of these 'Reborns'. Naturally, by the end of the movie, some two thousand years later, humanity had become extinct, and the planet was in the care of robots.

God, that's so sad, and I mean that in all sincerity.
Those of us of a certain age (ahem) remember the first full malignant blossom of feminism, when men as a group were scum disdained as unnecessary ("like a fish needs a bicycle" and all that), and careers were exalted above families.
Many women of that era bought into the idea (little realizing that many advocating eschewing families were...uh..sisters of Sappho, who weren't giving up a thing in that time before IVF).
Fast forward 20 years, and many of those same women then longed for families, as the biological clock ticked portentously, but they found they were unable to conceive at that age, or in many cases, unable to find husbands, since men their age had given up on them and now dated younger women. Oops. But at least they had their careers, although the joy and novelty of the workplace had dimmed considerably by then, while that of hearing the pitter-patter of little feet had grown proportionately.
Unfortunately, however, that tabula wasn't so rasa after all. Having a family is important to almost everyone, but especially (in my observation) to women. The maternal urge is incredibly strong, and even drives some women into snatching babies from maternity wards.
Bottom line: society's organization reflects the distilled wisdom of many generations, and results of innumerable social experiments. That's not to say present-day social norms should be chiseled into stone, but rather that they shouldn't be thrown away lightly.

Maybe we should give these women the ones that say "Islam is the light"...

49 year old women with a baby doll "hobby". That's pathetic and telling on so many levels about the "babby boom" generation, it's unentangleable.

Look at the bright side! If moonbats continue to simply buy dolls instead of reproducing, eventually they may become extinct!

This has GOT to be evidence of a psychological disorder, doesn't it? I mean, it must!

Have you ever seen a more perfect comment than the one that accompanies the picture of Chucky?
Yea, me neither.

And, of course, noone knows who the father is so the taxpayers will have to provide doll support.

I agree with Harris - this is nature's way of warning men away from the dangerous ones, sorta like neon colors on a poisonous frog.

They must be as rare as unicorns, because I've never met a non-leftist vegan. Rarer still is the vegan that can resist engaging in holier-than-thou moralizing about food (and other things besides).
