Jealous Rosie O’Donnell Orders Lesbian Partner To Stop Nursing Her ChildNEW
YORK, NY, June 9, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a statement during an
appearance on ABC’s the view, outspoken lesbian Rosie O’Donnell
confessed that she had ordered her lesbian partner to stop
breastfeeding her child because of her jealousy.The topic came up when the moderator Meredith Vieira mentioned the
recent New York protest-or “nurse-in”-which involved 200 women
breastfeeding outside of ABC’s headquarters in protest against negative
remarks Barbara Walters had made about breastfeeding.“Kelly [Rosie's partner] only nursed for like about a month,” said
Rosie at the time, “and then I was very angry, because as the other
mommy…with the other babies nobody nursed because they were adopted.
But with this baby it was like she was the only one getting to bond. So
I was like the nursing is over! I cut her off. I’m like, you’ve had
your limit honey. No more!”One of Rosie’s fellow panel members interjected at this point,
saying “But you know that’s an interesting conversation because in a
certain way you’re doing a disservice to the baby aren’t you when you
act like that?“No, because I got to bond and cuddle,” said Rosie. She then turned
on the nursing mothers who had taken part in the protest, saying “Those
women who were out there protesting while they were nursing, they just
have a lot of hormones.”The controversial remarks caused a flurry of responses on Rosie
O’Donnell’s personal blog, and many other related blogs across the
internet, with the majority of her fans expressing shock and outrage at
Rosie’s professed behaviour.User “JenS” gave a typical fan response saying “How entirly [sic]
selfish to ask your partner stop breastfeeding. Are you really that
insecure to be threatened by the bonding? Men can handle thier [sic]
partners breastfeeding, why can’t you? If you need more time to cuddle
with your child, cut down on your work time.”Another fan, who called herself Mamadoctor, protested “Rosie! Did
you actually say you made your wife stop breastfeeding? Because you
were envious? That breaks my heart. I’m a general surgery resident,
with a strong interest in breast cancer, and the literature is just so
overwhelming that breastfeeding protects women from breast cancer. For
the babies, not breastfeeding increases risk of cancer, allergies,
inflammatory bowel disease, infection, and *death*!”It is becoming an increasingly accepted scientific fact that
breastfeeding greatly reduces the chances of breast-cancer for both the
mother and the child, as well as having innumerable other advantages
for the health of the baby.A video clip of O’Donnell making the comments is available from Stephen Bennett’s blog here:
