Democracy depends on the ability to end others’ lives before they’re even born, according to one famed feminist.
Netflix released a trailer for its new documentary, Reversing Roe, on Sept. 4. The timely teaser for the abortion law film comes during Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. The film hits computer screens Sept. 13, and appears to include interviews with abortion activists including Gloria Steinem.
The trailer gave a sneak peak of her comments.
“It’s the basis of democracy, that you control your own body,” she said in the film worried about Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in the U.S. This comes as many in the media panic that Kavanaugh could enable the court to overturn Roe.
She’s right: the ability to control one’s own body is important. But abortion is about controlling someone else’s body – and ending his or her future.
Steinem has made similar comments in the past. Earlier this year, she declared that no abortion means “no democracy” for women. In 2017, she stressed to The Week that “to be right-to-life for the fetus is to be dangerous for women's lives.” Two years earlier, Steinem even blamed Pope Francis for “causing” global warming by “forcing women to have children” to Cosmo.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the trailer “explores the lasting effects and debate surrounding the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade, in which unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion was ruled unconstitutional.”
The documentary comes from filmmakers helmed by Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg. In an interview with The Dartmouth, Sundberg spoke about the focus on “women’s reproductive rights,” and stressed that they are “looking to tell both sides.”
But the film only boasts support from one side: abortion supporters. Those include former Texas state senator Wendy Davis and executive producer Eva Longoria, both of whom support Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.

If it was not for MST3K I would not even want Netflix!!
Why is it that the SCOTUS is the final arbiter of abortion rights? What if the congress actually did their job, and voted on the matter? They passed a law that prohibited abortions. Only THEN would it go to the SCOTUS to be heard.
The SCOTUS should interpret the law, not MAKE the law. I don’t recall voting for or against abortion.
Maybe they’ll all abort themselves out of existence.
LOL!
I know dude I know!
Obviously Ms. Steinem is eaten up by guilt and regret, but is too stupid and un-self-aware to realize it.
That is perfect gif selection!
Outstanding!
Feminazi types support all abortions except if the baby had been themselves. Then they would have been a rabid pro-lifer.
I thought “accident forgiveness” by Liberty Insurance was the new “basis of democracy”.
isn’t democracy one person one vote? I know at least one person involved in every abortion that isn’t given a vote! I don’t understand what love they have for this horrific procedure that kills another human. As I listened to Feinstein question Kavanaugh yesterday I wondered if this was in the late 1850s would she be asking him if he supported supreme court precedence and supporting the Dred Scott decision. I would’ve loved it if he threw that in her face.
Ask a pro abortionist the question of would they have supported the decision of their very own mother if she had chosen to abort them vs birthing them? Be prepared for them to get all pretzel like.
This is the Netflix that hired Barry and Michelle and put Susan Rice on the board, right?
Steinem admitted taking money from the CIA, by her own admission.

Others go a bit further - difficult to say what is truth and what isn’t

Patrick Henry:
“Give me liberty or give me death” (as in the right to kill my baby)
.
Well Glo, baby, Democracy was the thing our constitution was written to prevent!
It guarantees us a Republic.
.
Not so! I believe peanut butter sandwiches are the basis of democracy...
Evil... or just stupid?
Not mutually exclusive.
A while back a Freeper said abortion is their most important issue. I didn’t believe it at the time but now I think that Freeper was right.
Democracy is two femanists and an unborn baby voting on whether or not to kill the baby.
