Feminists Exalt the Wonder of Abortion

Abortion is the highest expression of feminism. It's the only concern of feminists. Just ask the first lady how many feminists came to her defense after her son's name was dragged through the mud on Capitol Hill. Ask Kellyanne Conway how many stood behind her when she was insulted as a terrifying killer clown on "Saturday Night Live." Ask Juanita Broaddrick who came to her defense when she declared that the (liberal) president of the United States had raped her.

But abortion? Anyone who dares to oppose abortion is a sexist, a racist and maybe even a Christian.

You could find these attitudes in a recent article in fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar, where legendary extremist Gloria Steinem was interviewed/celebrated by British actress and model Jameela Jamil, who stars in the NBC after-death sitcom "The Good Place."

Back in May, Jamil caused a ruckus by tweeting like a typical feminist about her awesome abortion: "I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Both for me, and for the baby I didn't want ... So many children will end up in foster homes. So many lives ruined. So very cruel."

Work your way through that equation: Abortion is the best thing that could happen to an unborn baby.

In the glossy pages of Harper's Bazaar, Jamil was modeling and pouting in a $3,800 blazer and $300 tights under the sugary headline "Jameela Jamil Is the Feminist-in-Progress We Need Right Now." As with her showy clothes, it's all about her. She proclaimed, "People have abortions, sometimes a woman just wants her liberty, and we have to normalize that it's okay just to make that choice for yourself, because your life is as important as a newborn life that doesn't even exist yet."

Me, me, me.

Steinem heartily agreed and turned on the pro-lifers by calling them budding authoritarians. "It took me a while to understand that the first step in every authoritarian regime is controlling reproduction, and that means controlling us," she said. "Unless we -- men and women -- have power over our own bodies and voices, there is no such thing as democracy."

To her, pro-lifers smell like Nazis. "Every authoritarian regime that I have ever read about, including Hitler's rise to power, every regime starts with controlling reproduction and that means controlling women's bodies," she said.

In other words, there's no such thing as a holocaust of tens of millions of unborn babies, because they're not counted as actual human lives and they have no human dignity. Besides, those who support life for the unborn are Nazis. George Orwell, call your office.

Jamil also told Steinem that she likes her theory that whites have "a fear that not enough white women are being born." Steinem elaborated: "The white evangelicals are supporting Trump solely on the issue of abortion. Obviously, it has nothing to do with his lifestyle. It has to do with their racism."

Our friend Katie Yoder wrote up all this nonsense on Townhall.com with a headline that accurately summarizes: "Gloria Steinhem and Jameela Jamil: There's 'No Democracy' Without Abortion." Jamil responded with Hollywood sophistication, tweeting: "I SAID WHAT I F---ING SAID and you're clueless if you think I'm going to take it back. My life *is* more important to me than an unborn fetus' one. Suck on that."

I thought his rise to power started with his brownshirts beating up and yelling at people who disagreed with him, you know, like Antifa.

And then he took away everybody's guns, you know, like Democrats. Then he got to the reproduction part, by killing adults, not children or babies.

You all haven't quite got to that part yet.

Queen Herods All. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth at the end. Godless feminists have chosen poorly with their own self-esteemed arrogance.

Very witty and on point and I doubt if Jameela Jamil would even know what that means.

abortion is the holy sacrament of the left. Sacrificing babies either by death or by molestation is what they live for.

The Wonder of abortion.

You’ll forever wonder what your dead baby might have contributed to the world.

50,000,000 dead Americans. There went the scientist who would’ve cured cancer.

He killed the disabled children and grownups before going after the healthy adults.

Okay, but I still don’t see that as an actual control of reproductive rights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_deaf_people_in_Nazi_Germany

Germany passed the Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases on July 14, 1933.[1] It was amended and extended on June 26, 1935 and Section 10a was added, which authorized forced abortions in women who were otherwise subject to sterilization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_of_deaf_people_in_Nazi_Germany

Between 1933 and 1945 roughly 15,000 deaf people were forced into sterilization. The youngest victim being only 9 years old, nearly 5,000 children up to the age of 16 were sterilized. Deaf children were forced to sterilization for reported hereditary deafness or feeblemindedness. Some were even reported for asocial behavior and claimed defects of character.

So, are you defending Jameela Jamil’s staement that every authoritarian regime begins with controlling reproductive rights?

Or are you trying to teach me how bad the Nazis were?

I know they did these things, I know they killed a huge amount of homosexuals who had been their staunch supporters, I know they killed Romas or Romanis, I know they killed a lot of people for a lot of reasons.

All I was doing was showing the fallacy in her remarks.

‘”Numerous students at the University of Texas in Austin signed a petition in support of killing “babies” up to 5 years old, underscoring how many so-called progressives are actually vehement proponents of infanticide.’

How soon will they be advocating abortion for old folks?

Abortion should always be called by it’s accurate name: vivisection... the cutting apart of a live creature.

Margaret Sanger was not pro-choice. She demanded no more babies for a period of 10 years following World War II. She said she did not care that some women may not be able to have children after her ban was lifted.

One of the first things the bolshevics did was legalize abortion. By the logic displayed here the Soviet Union wasn’t authoritarian.
