Women Are Not Delicate Little Flowers Despite What NARAL and Planned Parenthood Think

The organization NARAL Pro Choice America blasted Virginia’s Governor Tim Kaine — the chairman of the Democratic National Committee — on Tuesday for signing a bill that, NARAL says, includes state funding for crisis pregnancy centers. Essentially, if someone buys a “Choose Life” license plate, some of the proceeds would go to crisis centers.

NARAL claims that crisis pregnancy centers — which exist to dissuade women from having an abortion — mislead woman. In New York, abortion rights groups lobbied Attorney General Eliot Spitzer to shut down such centers because they allegedly “scared” women.

As a life-long feminist, I find this approach by so-called women’s rights groups perplexing and more than a little insulting to women.

What really seems to enrage NARAL and Planned Parenthood is

If you have *any* other sort of "procedure" you're required to be given full info -- pro-aborts know they'll be waking women up to what they're actually doing if the same was applied...

Unfortunately, when the crisis has passed -- days, weeks, months, or years later -- women who aborted find or figure out what they did -- what their baby actually looked like -- and they are distraught and experience all kinds of emotional distress.

What kind of "choice" is that?

Oh, and btw — NRO describes Powers as a “liberal feminist.” Progress — we’ll win her over fully yet — the truth is power.

Unfortunately, the author’s assertion that women aren’t delicate little flowers has been rendered moot by the federal government and every corporate and business entity in the US.

The country, on both of the above levels, has bought into the idea that words are enough to reduce women to sniveling, drooling, irrational thunder-spooked puppies, through the enactment of policies like ‘hostile work environment,” “subtle sexual harassment,” speech codes and censorship, and the general air of cowardice among all management levels whenever a hint of a complaint is raised regarding “harassment.”

So, we’re telling women that they can have it all, crash the corporate boardroom, be cops and carry guns, be firefighters and carry victims, be combat troops and kill everyone in sight while blowing every other thing up, but...words - be afraid. Be very afraid.

That has always been my opinion, too: If women are strong enough and capable enough to “make a choice,” why are they delicate little flowers unable to handle the information?

The answer: This is all about money. It has nothing to do with the woman and certainly not the baby.

EXCUSE me. Who do you think, fed, nursed, taught, etc,etc, the children of this country back when the Revolution was being fought through the migration to the West? It sure as H wasn’t the Teachers union, Nursing Unions, or the Witches (with a B) from Planned Parenthood, or NARAL. I am Woman hear me Roar.
