Steinem: If Women Can’t Control Our Bodies ‘We’re Not Living in a Democracy’ — America Should Be Ashamed
Breitbart ^ | 12/13/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/13/2022 7:26:08 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Activist and author Gloria Steinem said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v.Wade, America was not a democracy.

Anchor Joy Reid said, “I want you to talk a little bit since we have you, and this is another multiracial woman’s movement that is now unfortunately thrust upon us, the end of Roe v. Wade. It is something that is going to hurt all women.”

Steinem said, “It is unspeakable, really. We are a unique democracy in the world in failing to understand that women have a right to control our own bodies. Otherwise, we’re not living in a democracy. Hello? It is clear that the big states like California and New York, women maintain this right, but it’s outrageous and sometimes dangerous for women and other states that don’t have this right to have to travel in order to get it. We should be ashamed in the world.”

If women controlled their bodies, there wouldn’t be a need for abortions.

I’ll agree with that if Gloria agrees that as a man, if I don’t control my own wallet, I don’t live in a democracy either.

Gloria Steinem invented the one free grope rule back in 1998.

Poor thing. She’s hopelessly confused.

We never were a Democracy, this senile old fool.

Where have you been with women sports being destroyed by your
so-called fellow travelers?

The SCOTUS was never the place this should have been resolved.

One more thing you didn’t have a clue about.

Practice control by holding a nickel between your knees.

"....women have a right to control our own bodies."

No, they don't Gloria. If a woman chooses to rent out portions of her body, that is known a prostitution.

the end of Roe v. Wade. It is something that is going to hurt all women.
Except those who would otherwise be murdered in the womb. And, sadly, the "end of Roe v. Wade" does not mean the end of abortion.

I agree to a point. If women who don’t wish to become pregnant cannot control their bodies that is a problem.
But, it isn’t the problem (or shouldn’t be) for the baby growing in their womb. That baby should not be mutilated/executed because they didn’t control their bodies.

Slammuing their knees together is out of the question. These deqad souls want to have license to sexual encounters whenever and wherever they can find them. What this dead soul is actually saying ‘unless women can have the alive sensing infant in the womb slaughtered there is no democracy in America.’ Dead spirits slither around in dead souls. This harpy is spiritually as dead as a door nail.

#1: "I had no idea this old harpy was still around."

It really depends on your definition of "around".

Yes, women should be able to control their own bodies.

And different DNA is what distinguishes one person’s body from another’s.
