Oprah Winfrey angered a lot of her fan base this summer when her magazine promoted a campaign that attempts to normalize the killing of unborn babies.
The July issue of her “O” magazine featured “Shout Your Abortion” founder Amelia Bonow in its “Inspiration” section, CNS News reported. Bonow, who began the campaign to urge women to brag about their abortions, soon will be coming out with a new book by the same title.
“Abortion is normal,” Bonow’s campaign claims repeatedly and backs up with stories of women who say their abortions (unborn babies’ deaths) were a good thing.
“My abortion was gentle, irreverent, and empowering,” the Shout Your Abortion campaign recently shared, quoting one woman’s abortion story.
The campaign is part of a larger attempt by the abortion industry to convince the public that killing unborn babies is nothing to be ashamed of. Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other pro-abortion groups have been moving away from the narrative that abortions are difficult matters and they should be safe, legal and rare. Instead, they argue that abortions are good, empowering and necessary to women’s success.
The New American noted the significance of Winfrey endorsing the radical pro-abortion message:
After all, Oprah is regularly listed among the ‘most admired women’ in America.
Winfrey’s magazine has 10 million readers, and its support of a movement that essentially advocates abortion as something to boast about will no doubt advance the likelihood of women submitting to the grisly procedure.
Unsurprisingly, the piece was followed by a massive outcry. Aside from the most radical abortion supporters, most Americans do not think abortions are good or worth celebrating. Polls consistently find that most Americans oppose most abortions, and more think abortions are morally wrong than morally acceptable.

Still, the brashness that abortion activists display in celebrating the killing of unborn babies is surprising to many.
It surprised Washington Times writer Cheryl Chumley. She responded to the “O” piece by taking back a recent comment she made on C-SPAN.
She wrote:
A few days ago, in an appearance on “Washington Journal” on C-SPAN, I said in answer to a caller’s question about abortion that it was a sad situation all around — that I didn’t know any woman who went cheerily toward the procedure, happily off to the operating table, in some sort of “let the suction begin!” type of trance.
Then came Oprah Winfrey with her thumbs-up to a “Shout Your Abortion” magazine feature.
Now I stand corrected.
Like Chumley, many Oprah fans now are wondering why the beloved celebrity would give radical abortion activists such a huge platform in her magazine.
“In what world should it be OK for women to shout their abortions?” Chumley wrote. “Stories of abortions should never be shouted, as if congratulations are in order.”
ACTION: Contact “O” magazine.
Oprah, like most leftists, lives in an echo chamber of leftist idiocy that’s never challenged.
She really has no clue what the real world is like.
I never understood why Oprah has a fanbase.
I remember Oprah in the early days. She had a good show. The last say ten or fifteen years? Not so much. She got “out of touch” with issues of women.
Like for a while there she’s post a story about a missing child and viewers would take notice. Do you know some of those kids were found because of her show? Why did she stop that? That is the kind of things her fans were interested in. They had kids so they were interested in the welfare of kids!
Comments below are ones I collected in about 2000/2001 from a club on Yahoo called Abortion Celebration. This was almost 20 years ago now, but they haven’t gotten any better, have they? The left has really made women into wonderful creatures, haven’t they?
“I agree a woman should have the right to abortion on demand at any time during her pregnancy.”
“BEFORE my last abortion I was given a 9 page report on my options. . .”
“I have never been in that position, but considering how little thought it takes to f__k, you should put just about that much consideration into aborting, because childbirth ain’t some magical thing. It’s the result of f__king. If it was so f__king magical, sex would last longer than it does (for many people, heheheh).”
“I feel no regret for the two abortions I have had.”
“We need to start enacting some Social Darwinism here. We are the only animals that do not have natural enemies, nor destroy deformed young. And yes, we ARE animals. We ARE primates.”
“When I suffered a positive pregnancy test in the summer of 1991, I did not for one second even consider any option except the abortion of the cancerous mass from my body.”
“When I refer to a child in that way, it’s bratty little bastards with mothers who think they’re entitled to some sort of special treatment just because they accomplished a task that I do several times weekly, which is F__K.”
“I call children crotch fruit, snot goblins, f__k-trophies, sproglinas, vomit comets, etc., because most of them ARE!”
“This is why I want my uterus ripped out and deposited in the nearest trashcan.”
“Yeah, I just LUVS when my body balloons up to Jabba the Hut size, only to s__t out something the size of a watermelon out of an opening the size of a lemon! WHERE DO I SIGN UP!?! There are reasons why I want a tubal ASAP.”
“yeah, okay...I get jealous when people get all sorts of special treatment for a bodily function.”
This person is comparing pregnancy to bodily functions as well:
“Just start rubbing your tummy and loudly say, “Ulcer wants Pepto!!!” Or run potty saying happily, “Butt wants a dumpie!!”
“The baby does not really feel it and its fast! There are enough of us stupid cruel people anyway. We need to stop worrying about us and worry more about animals. I mean look at us taking away their life for cloths, food, beat’n fun and all. They have feelings and feel pain too! So abortion is so good! We don’t need more people to come on earth to abuse our fellow earthlings! Its a cruel word out there! Jen. ABORTION RULES BABIES SUCK!”
It’s been my observation that ever single person who expresses positive opinions about abortion have themselves already survived past the point where they could have been aborted..Every single one.
I don’t have children and this not only disgusts me. But makes me hope and pray that many of her fans now realize how evil she is.
And her sister Whoopi “No Eyebrows” Goldberg even boasts of her 5 abortions! The people are the walking definition of a seared conscience. God help them!
Has Oprah said how many abortions she’s had?
#YouFirst
Wonder how many of the starlets she sent to Harvey Weinstein, as his mamasan, she forced into abortions.
Oprah. . .an overpaid, over celebrated loser who evidently didn’t learn much in Sunday School. Woe to her for influencing the minds of others with her evil talk.
“My abortion was gentle, irreverent, and empowering . . . "
You're sick, b!tch. Sick
Your baby was unavailable for comment ...
Worshipping Moloch again...
But how was it for the baby?
By the time a woman finds out she is pregnant, the baby's brain has already formed. All tissues are functional once they form; therefore, the baby is aware at that time.
Anesthetics do not cross physiologic membranes readily. A certain concentration must be reached in the blood before enough crosses the blood brain barrier to cause anesthesia. The baby not only has the blood brain barrier, it has a placental barrier. Between the two barriers, I doubt any significant amount of anesthetic reaches the baby's brain at all. And if the abortion is committed with the client under a local, then there is no chance any anesthetic reaches the baby at all. So "gentle" is never a word that can be associated with abortion.
The comments by the pro-aborts do give some hpoe. They are not contributing to the gene pool. Thus, the genes that predispose them to being cold and heartless are being weeded out, and future generations will be more empathetic. We already see that this is happening, by the fact that support for abortion is dropping.
“Hpoe” = “hope”
Posted before I finished proofreading.
Every DemocRAT candidate should be asked if they think abortions should be celebrated.
What is wrong with her? do militant feminazis influence her so much that she is willing to deny her humanity? will she do anything for a buck?
The pro abortion left is sick.
Whooping has had 5 abortions?
Would the 5 perps please stand up? I want to see what a truly desperate man looks like.
Oprah is just as phony as Hillary Clinton. She has mined that phoniness into a bank account just south of three billion dollars. All of her fans, mostly white women, positively glow and gush at the mere sight of her. Truly amazing and confounding.
