Really, in a state like Massachusetts that allows abortion on demand until birth, what's the big deal about choking out an eight month old?
How did we get to this place? Oh yeah, it started with Gloria Steinem. May she not rest in peace. She deserves to spend eternity in a circle of hell surrounded by a million dead babies. No kidding. Prove me wrong.
Not harsh enough. Many abortions are performed by literally ripping the child’s limbs from its body one by one before crushing the head. In others the skin is chemically burned off then the chemical reaches the organs and burns them too. It’s the most unimaginable horror honestly, perpetrated a million times a year. If all Steinem has to face is being surrounded by the deaths she promoted rather than feel their pain she’s getting off way too easy. (And if this seems unbelievable to anyone, please consider learning about how fetuses react in utero, even at nonviable gestational ages, including how they react to pain. It’s eye opening for sure)
I am with you. I am actually crying once again for those children. It’s not an easy thing to know how the most innocent are literally tortured to death for the actions of their parents as a result of the “liberation” promoted by ghouls like Steinem.
Actually surprised her lawyers didn’t argue the killings were simply “post-birth abortions”; that probably sounds absurd but wait for it. Eventually that argument will be made.
And the idea that the woman conceived by herself and that the baby belongs only to her....If she didn't want the baby and the father did, carry the baby to term and let go of all rights.
Peter Singer and others have been promoting post birth abortions for years:
"Peter Singer argues that abortion is morally permissible because fetuses lack personhood, defined by rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness. He contends that while a fetus is biologically human, it does not possess the capacity for preferences or self-awareness until well into pregnancy, meaning its interests do not outweigh the preferences of the pregnant woman.
Singer extends this logic to argue that there is no morally significant difference between abortion and infanticide. Because newborns also lack self-consciousness and the desire to continue living, he asserts that killing an infant is not equivalent to killing a person. Consequently, he suggests that infanticide may be permissible, particularly for severely disabled infants, if it maximizes overall happiness and reduces suffering. "
Because abortion has become birth control. But it’s also quite genocidal and racist when you think about it. That’s why PP puts their “clinics” in inner cities. This continues what Margaret Danger, their Saint wanted. Removing blacks and other inferiors from the gene pool.
Are you aware more black babies in NYC are aborted than born?
Margaret Sanger and company called themselves Progressives. They were in fact, eugenicists, racists and classists. In fact,most but not all were White, so you could call them White supremacists too.
This information got out in the media on a very underreported scale but PP decided to quietly drop their heroine's name from their buildings and literature afterward.
Why don't the Republicans EVER use this kind information to educate voters? I think we know the answer.
Because the GOP can’t message? Because they are feckless? Because they are weenies? Because they play by marquess of queensbury rules while the dems play cutthroat?
Let's not forget that the Dems are the ones who destroyed black families....Originally, when welfare for single mothers was started, it was to help single mothers to get beyond that and make a life for her and the baby. It did not include poor couples. They drove the males out of the house for the woman to get welfare as a single mother. Degradation of the system continued.
It’s all very sad. What started as a movement to protect women, give them equal property rights and legal rights in and out of marriage ended with the selfishness of it’s not fair that women must carry the detritis of a sexual encounter for nine months. I used to think women had the higher moral ground, but not anymore.
Yes, when women are brainwashed into believing that a fetus is "just a clump of cells" that they equate to nothing more than a skin tag or a wart, why wouldn't they rely on abortions when it's just too much trouble to take a pill every day or endure the discomfort of an IUD? The energy behind EVERYTHING on the left HAS TO BE DEMONIC. There is just no other explanation that makes any sense.
I agree 100% Gail! BUT, you're only seeing HER side of it. WHY does HE have to ejaculate into HER, in the first place? See what I mean? Can we introduce the concept of "negligent paternity" into the conversation? Thank-you! & Bless you, too!
Fair question Bill. But that is like saying “well they made it too easy to steal so I shouldn’t be guilty of theft “. Until the left gets control, individual responsibility is the standard. If the woman CONSENTS the man is not responsible if when she terminates the child but he IS responsible if she gives birth to the child. SO if I had a son I’d drill it into him to be damn sure he was prepared to have a child with a woman he was wanting to have sex with BEFORE he has sex with her. “BEFORE” is when both parties HAVE A CHOICE, NOT AFTER a life has been created.
As my mother used to say: Because they are too lazy to interrupt the moment of passion and don't want to go on the pill....They were choosing abortion over birth control. It was all about them...
Wittier people than me have certainly mastered the challenge of saying nothing nice, or ill, of the Dead.
You came close.
On balance though, Ms. Steinem was an awful woman. I suppose she was a Heroine to some far lefties. But Steinem was an outright coward if she couldn't even say boys should NOT be in girls' sports.
It's easy and reasonable to say, unless you are petrified of the backlash you might get.
I saw her berate and humiliate a young black female student who asked her a good question about abortion during a university talk about thirty years ago. It was eye opening how unprepared she was to answer the question, and how spiteful she was to the young girl for asking it. Disappointing!
Yes. It is amazing/sad how many of our "icons" turn out to be small, pathetic, and downright mean in person. I had this experience with Chomsky in the 90s.
Chomsky used to send everyone in my graduate program weekly emails during that time, because he had come for a visit and talk. It was amazing how braindead and hackish the messages were. Unhinged and retarded, for lack of a better word.
Wow! Glad you are alive. You are such an excellent writer and voice for conservatives.
While Gloria was against marriage for a long period of time, she eventually married Christian Bale's father. Reportedly she did so that he wouldn't be deported for a Green Card violation.
One wonders what Steinem's thoughts were as she neared death. Did she regret her all out push for Radical Left Wing policies? The 60M + babies aborted (many of them would have been Black, interesting for those that believe in BLM)?
Hopefully she found Jesus before she died--it is never too late (the thief on the cross next to Jesus is a witness to that).
Still, we can decry her political and cultural positions without wishing her ill. These ideas have literally driven many women to the cliff of anger, regret, inchoate frustration and an inexplicable sense that all is not right. The support of women that believe their "feelings" matter more than morality or reason seems to be what motivates the Clancy fans. Extremely sad for them and worse for the children in their care. May God have mercy.
We don't know. That is up to Him. I see this as similar to praying for your enemies, if that makes sense (and yes, it is not easy to do...a wise woman once told me that she prayed for the ability to forgive her cheating husband. That resonated with me quite a bit, and still does).
An accurate recording of history would rank Gloria Steinem alongside Margaret Sanger (Hillary Clinton's most favorite women of all time). Both did more overall damage to women's position and respectability in western society, than most anyone else I can name.
I appreciate a lot of Gloria's earlier stands on Women's Rights. She left me when she became so strongly pro-abortion. And I definitely could not understand her abandonment of women in favor of gender dysphoria. I hope she made her peace with God before her death.
This resonates. Steinem was important early on. But her message for women’s rights faded. How could she support boys in women’s sports, women’s prisons…? It’s too bad. I honor her early years.
My feelings about abortion have reversed also. What was once something I would never do but could see others doing it and was okay with it, has now become an absolute evil. It’s done so casually and so hatefully anymore. And those who oppose abortion on demand and abortion until crowning (yes literally crowning because there is no longer any timeframes) are the despised ones.
Here in Idaho, there’s a question on the ballot about making abortion unrestricted. With all the yoga mom Californians that have moved here, who knows what will happen.
Really thought provoking, excellent piece. I could not believe the feminists I grew up admiring abandoned women in sports. Men with a history of violence are now being placed in prison cells with women which is dangerous and absurd, but feminist leaders are too cowardly to say a word.
Yes, with the whole men in women’s sports fiasco, I always asked myself, where are the feminists? And why isn’t there women in men’s sports? We know why.
I share your disappointment. Going back to the mid-1990s, I was also disillusioned when feminists were silent in the face of Bill Clinton’s philandering (even predatory) ways. They remained silent while Hillary Clinton’s response was to blame and shame the women. Such hipocrisy.
When I was younger, I was stupid enough to believe Gloria Steinem when she said, “A liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.”
We are now living in the slippery slope that everyone swore would never happen. Look at Canada- one in every 5 deaths is MAID. We sadly live in a culture that has no respect for life. The most dangerous place is in the womb. Pray for unborn babies.
Abortion is the only right that feminists still have and so they are going to the mattresses on it.
Thanks for that clarity.
I imagine the goal is to be like here in canada with no limits or regulations at all.
The men in women sports thing is the definition of Orwell’s 1984.
They try to make us see it is ok for men to beat up women in boxing for example but they truly are Winston Smith, they really see it because they have to conform, to be part of the cult.
It’s one thing to not care about kids but it’s entirely something else to watch a man beat up a woman, or watch the U14 boys team beat the USA women’s Olympic soccer team and say “yup that’s all good and fair.”
I will say that Hillary Clinton was never for any other woman than herself. Maybe Gloria Steinem was the same. No door was ever really closed to her, personally - except the one marked, ‘Respected Journalist.’ Feminism opened that door.
Hilary Clinton would have been a failed bitter unmarried real estate lawyer in Chicago if not for a man. Ironic isn’t it that she who touts herself as a strong woman able to make it in a man’s world wouldn’t have gotten anywhere without the man. And she’s clung to him like an octopus even after he humiliated her over and over. Strong woman in a pigs eye.
And Hillary had the nerve to call out Tammy Wynette when she said she wasn’t a stand by her woman man. Well, Tammy divorced her alcoholic husband and moved on with her life. Hillary is still hanging on to the pedophile.
At a feminist forum Steinem held several years ago, some participants cogently disagreed with her views. Steinem bellowed in response: “We don’t give a damn what you think! Out of here!” She conformed to the modern Liberal geist of “tolerance and inclusion”. Only those who parroted her views were worthy of “liberation”.
She was a monstrously destructive woman. May God have mercy on her soul. That's not sarcasm; she has now obtained whatever eternity she wanted, and I do not wish an eternity of separation from God's love on anyone, even the woman who helped abortion become a commonplace act.
In a country where effective birth control is basically free to any woman who wants it, how do we have 1 million abortions a year?
It’s almost like they are deliberately choosing abortion over birth control.
Abortion as birth control is completely in sync with the mentality of the Lindsay Clancy supporters: refusal to be responsible for one's actions.
Abortion is at its essence no different than strangling an 8 month old baby, and actually takes more time and expense.
Really, in a state like Massachusetts that allows abortion on demand until birth, what's the big deal about choking out an eight month old?
How did we get to this place? Oh yeah, it started with Gloria Steinem. May she not rest in peace. She deserves to spend eternity in a circle of hell surrounded by a million dead babies. No kidding. Prove me wrong.
Harsh, but I agree. These people are in a death cult.
Not harsh enough. Many abortions are performed by literally ripping the child’s limbs from its body one by one before crushing the head. In others the skin is chemically burned off then the chemical reaches the organs and burns them too. It’s the most unimaginable horror honestly, perpetrated a million times a year.

Whew, Sarah, you got me on this one... but thanks for the reality check.
We need to name this horror. How about The Fetal Holocaust? Who will have the courage and the stomach to make that movie?
I am with you. I am actually crying once again for those children. It’s not an easy thing to know how the most innocent are literally tortured to death for the actions of their parents as a result of the “liberation” promoted by ghouls like Steinem.
Harsh? Seems fair and just to me.
No doubt Steinem was an evil person.
Actually surprised her lawyers didn’t argue the killings were simply “post-birth abortions”; that probably sounds absurd but wait for it. Eventually that argument will be made.
I used to ("joke"?) about providing "retroactive" abortion services""....
And the idea that the woman conceived by herself and that the baby belongs only to her....If she didn't want the baby and the father did, carry the baby to term and let go of all rights.
Please expand on that idea in a longer comment.....

Blacks are about 13% of Americans and 38% of abortions.
https://culturallegacy.org/margaret-sanger-sterilization-and-the-swastika/
Well, they did have an abortion clinic outside of the 2024 DNC convention. That seems pretty telling.
Yes, when women are brainwashed into believing that a fetus is "just a clump of cells" that they equate to nothing more than a skin tag or a wart, why wouldn't they rely on abortions when it's just too much trouble to take a pill every day or endure the discomfort of an IUD?

Some of them are, and glorying in it. There are videos on YouTube that reveal the granite hearts of these women:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN7egi29FEM
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RlyDQ-nfjy4?feature=share
They don’t get social media likes for posting that they took their pill that morning.
But the videos show when they DIDN’T take their pill. I assume you meant like Prozac or an SSRI or Xanax etc.
Wittier people than me have certainly mastered the challenge of saying nothing nice, or ill, of the Dead.
You came close.

Wow! Glad you are alive. You are such an excellent writer and voice for conservatives.
While Gloria was against marriage for a long period of time, she eventually married Christian Bale's father. Reportedly she did so that he wouldn't be deported for a Green Card violation.
Sasha's voice is informed by her experiences as a member of the Left.
David Horowitz was also, RIP.
Many of us conservatives were never lefties, so we are not nearly as aware of it's putridity. (is that a word ?)
Putridity is a great word.
One wonders what Steinem's thoughts were as she neared death. Did she regret her all out push for Radical Left Wing policies? The 60M + babies aborted (many of them would have been Black, interesting for those that believe in BLM)?

May God have mercy.
Yes. Turns out, 20 million or more aborted black lives didn't matter...
Your question assumes a conscience was present. The will to power often suffocates the human conscience.
sad if true
sad BUT true
If she “found Jesus” before the end, but still denied him to the world…
We don't know. That is up to Him. I see this as similar to praying for your enemies, if that makes sense (and yes, it is not easy to do...a wise woman once told me that she prayed for the ability to forgive her cheating husband. That resonated with me quite a bit, and still does).
All the best.
An accurate recording of history would rank Gloria Steinem alongside Margaret Sanger (Hillary Clinton's most favorite women of all time). Both did more overall damage to women's position and respectability in western society, than most anyone else I can name.
Remember Hilary's close "friend" and aide Huma Abedin? Her father was a founder of the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist group....just saying....
Wow. Your article at the end describes a brutal truth. We have sunk to a new low as a society if we can’t condemn women who kill their children.
Sasha, you hit the nail on the head with this one.
We need to take a long look at ourselves and figure out where we are headed😔 and pray that we find our way back to sanity again.
“A million babies aborted this year” is shameful

But now it seems like No Lives Matter anymore, and maybe that is from living in our spiritually vacuous society that was encouraged by the nonsense spewed from people like Steinem: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/no-lives-matter-anymore-what-happened?r=76q58
We are now living in the slippery slope that everyone swore would never happen. Look at Canada- one in every 5 deaths is MAID. We sadly live in a culture that has no respect for life. The most dangerous place is in the womb. Pray for unborn babies.
