Gloria Steinem eviscerates Carly Fiorina with scathing post on Facebook

The surging candidate’s remarks on Planned Parenthood drew Steinem’s ire. Feminist icon Gloria Steinem blasted Carly Fiorina in a post on her Facebook page, saying the presidential hopeful’s commentary on Planned Parenthood at the Republican debate last week “was a 100 percent lie.” “I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes,” Fiorina railed during the debate. “Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.” Fiorina was referring to a series of “sting” videos produced by the Center for Medical Progress.teinem took to Facebook to criticize Fiorina over her rhetoric. “Trump’s greatest damage to women was to raise sympathy for Carly Fiorina by attacking her appearance,” Steinem wrote. “What she said about Planned Parenthood was a 100 percent lie — as fact checkers have pointed out — and she accused Hillary Clinton of lying when she was in fact telling the truth. If you thought Republicans could find no woman more damaging to the diversity and needs of the female half of this country than Sarah Palin, take a good look at Carly Fiorina and what she stands for.”

NO ONE has yet refuted ANY of those videos. If they had, the MSM would be crowing from every rooftop, which they aren’t.

She said she SAW in the videos, beating heart and harvesting, etc..

But, it was an interviewed PP worker who described the above event, no video of it.

Thus, she was called out.

*Sorry, your statement has no basis in fact.
Francis does not support abortion, and will not “make it a sacrament.” *

Not yet he doesn’t. But it seems that he is MUCH more influenced by his Socialist friends that he is the Bible. He espouses a deadly and destructive pack of Leftist views.

Also, he has shown himself to be a liar by promoting the Global Warming Scam.

...It’s only a matter of time.

Imagine Trump saying those words, “..only the selection of Jeb Bush as the GOP nominee will guarantee a successful Hillary election. That’s why the RNC wants Jeb as their candidate.”

The media would absolutely freaking explode.

If anything, the "controversy" raised by the "deniers" of the tapes is going to get more people to watch them or pay attention to the issue... and that's a good thing!

Really? So are your opinions are based on things Francis has actually said and written?
Or on what the lefty-spin media says he said? And the people who are clamoring for photo-ops to justify themselves—you believe them?

You insist Francis is pro-abortion. Why? Because he has said women who have had abortions can be forgiven?
So repentance and forgiveness are unbiblical?
Please reference Luke 7: 41-43.
The pro-aborts, not Francis, are the ones perverting the Bible, and they are trying to align themselves with Francis to justify their own foulness. Those folks would have you believe that forgiveness of sin is an endorsement of it, and an invitation to continue in it. They reject what is stated clearly in
John 8: 11, and Luke 17: 1-2. I haven’t seen anything to suggest Francis is tossing out these, or any other parts of the Bible, just because Nancy Pelosi has.

The famous “Who am I to judge?” comment has been repeated ad nauseum by the left to mean that Francis has decreed homosexualITY is no longer a mortal sin.
In fact, Francis’ question, with a shrug, was in response to a very different, and specific, although much more nuanced, question.
First, understand several translators were involved in this discussion. Also, it was in the context of Francis’ earlier widely publicized statement, that there is indeed a gay “cabal” within the church, which he said must be rooted out.
The conversation leading up, was about whether or not homosexuALS are welcome in the Catholic Church.
Francis’ general response was, Of course! All are invited to hear the message, etc., but all must come with a humble and contrite heart, and a willingness to turn away from sin and accept Christ’s gift on the cross. This conversation went on for awhile.
THEN the next question to Francis was, How do you know whether the homosexual in the pew is sincerely seeking salvation? Or whether he is a gay activist. whose ulterior motive is to bring acceptance of homosexuality into the church?
THAT is when Francis shrugged and said, (roughly translated) Who knows? Or, Who am I to judge (whether a person’s heart is truly humble and contrite)? He was saying that only God can judge that. To
assume a person might be insincere, and on that basis, with hold Christ’s message, thus denying the possibility of repentance, would be wrong.
IOW Francis was asked to make an absolute determination on the SINCERITY of the sinners’ motivations. He was not, that day, asked to judge whether homosexuality is still defined as sin in the Catholic Church.
Of course it is, and he has repeatedly said so many times before and since. Obama & co will continue to distort his statements, and people will believe what they choose.

As for Francis being a socialist, communist left winger: in Argentina, tthe Communists accused him of being in cahoots with the fascist right wing junta. So, which?

As for global warming, Environmentalism, per se, is not unbiblical. In Genesis, God assigned Adam to have stewardship, or dominion, over the earth. But that’s another yakfest, for another day.

So sorry—just realized this tread was about Ms. Steinem. Didn’t intend to hijack!

You are right. Thank you for the correction.

I completely missed that she was saying viewers would see atrocities committed in the videos. The videos are of people [often happily] describing the atrocities, but the atrocities themselves are not shown. While it on no way diminishes the horror of the things PP is up to, no one should be exaggerating or embellishing when describing the contents of the videos.

True, but promting the LIE of man made global warming is.

Advocates of abortion on demand should be tried for their crimes against humanity, and like their Nazi precursors, HANGED.

“Jeb is a lost cause. His name is Bush for God’s sake — instant disqualifier among, moderates, millenials and conservatives. He stole the 2000 election for his brother! He killed Terry Schiavo! He speaks Spanish!”

I agree with most everything you say about Jeb, but...What’s the problem with speaking Spanish? Speaking a foreign language is not a fault, but an accomplishment.

Most anyone can learn enough textbook Spanish to make a short statement or speech, but to speak Spanish well enough to go to a Latin American country and converse with the locals in their dialect and idioms is another story entirely. If Jeb can do that, then I admire his dedication and perseverance.

But regardless, I would never vote for him.

“Who is Gloria Steinem?

A former Playboy bunny.”

At one time she was rather attractive...in a ‘60s hippie sort of way. Too bad she never developed a brain.
