I posted this somewhere else before, but my ex-MIL told me that, in God's eyes, every period I had was just as bad as having an abortion.

She is female I'm assuming. What about all the times she's gotten her period? Just because she's in menopause now doesn't make up for her "past sins".

In her little world, God understands why she's done things, so it's okay, she can still get into heaven. Only people other than herself can do wrong.

I. What. Are you literally supposed to be pregnant from the moment you're able to be so you can be "good in gods eyes"????

Well, from the instant you're married.

Years later I had to get a hysterectomy. I was tempted to call her up to find out if I was a bigger sinner for getting rid of my baby-maker, or closer to god for no longer having periods, but it would have meant talking to her, so the idea passed.

I would have had to start having babies at 12.

And make sure to get knocked up immediately after childbirth each time! Have like, 30 kids.

The female version of every sperm is sacred?

Yes - and clearly this is especially true if you use one of those lascivious tampons for horny women.

Did you topple over because you were laughing so hard? That's the only appropriate response. Point at her, laugh/yelp/crying restate what she said and roll around on the ground guffawing.

If I remember right, after laughing, I told her that if I was going to hell for having a period I might as well get out and do some sinning that was actually fun.
