Whether intentionally or not, feminist icon Gloria Steinem completely misunderstands what is at the heart of the pro-life movement.
In a new interview with Variety, the 85-year-old slammed pro-life activism as patriarchy and compared pro-lifers at least half of all Americans to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis.
To Steinem, a womans ability to abort her unborn baby is at the core of freedom and any opposition to abortion on demand is patriarchy. According to the interview, Steinem said Americans have yet to realize that controlling reproduction is the top priority of any oppressive government, and the very definition of the patriarchy.
She argued that every totalitarian regime begins with controlling womens reproduction.
It isnt the side issue, its the basic issue. In circular, egalitarian cultures, women can decide the fate of their own bodies. If we did not have wombs, wed be fine, Steinem said.
The definition of patriarchy is controlling reproduction, made way worse by racism, because then you really have to control reproduction to keep races separate, or caste, in India. This is the first step, whether its Brazil or India or Hitlers Germany, Steinem said.
She claimed that Hitlers first move as leader of Nazi Germany was to shut down all the family planning clinics and prohibit abortions.
I dont think we have yet understood that it is the first step in every authoritarian structure, she said.
Steinem has made similar comments in the past. During a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in 2019, she claimed there is no democracy without the right to abort unborn babies.
Our ability, men and women, to make decisions over our own bodies is the first step of democracy, she told the crowd at the annual fundraiser in Stamford, Connecticut. There is no democracy without that.
Infamously, she once even claimed that if men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
Steinems opinions stray drastically from her feminist fore-bearers. Early feminists leaders, including Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, strongly opposed abortion, describing it as child murder and the ultimate exploitation of women.
Today, the pro-life movement continues to be led by women, many of whom have had abortions themselves and now understand the truth. Killing an innocent human being can never be a means to achieving freedom, especially ones own child. As the pro-life group New Wave Feminists once wrote: When our liberation costs innocent lives, its merely oppression redistributed.
The heart of the pro-life movement is protecting the right to life of every human being, born and unborn, without discrimination. Pro-life advocates both men and women work hard every day to ensure that every human life is treated with the dignity and respect that it deserves.
......If we [women] did not have wombs, wed be fine, Steinem said.....
If women had no wombs, there would be no humans!!
PHOOEY!!!!
Abortion is the leftists holy sacrament. The shed blood of innocent aborted babies is their salvation . There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth for the abortionists.
Senile? Sick?
Yes she is. If a woman wants to control her reproduction she can use birth control or abstain ...it really is that simple.
Gloria Steinem has it exactly reversed.
It is the so-called PRO-CHOICE advocates who are like Hitler & the Deaths Head SS, in that they slaughter the INNOCENT by the MILLIONS, without either mercy or conscience.

Gloria, you’re going to kick the bucket one of these days and then you’ll go face-to-face with your maker. I’d love to be a mouse in the corner. I don’t think it’ll go well for you.
Steinem idea makes no sense in this universe. Hitler causes mass death. Saving babies causes no deaths. Therefore they are equivalent???
Margaret Sanger learned about killing babies from Hitler. She also learned from the Nazis how to dress up this murder by giving it a clever code name - Planned Parenthood.
Hell,I thought the hag died and finally got aborted from our lives. Soon.
As an inmate or as one of the staff? If she had been of age in Germany at the time, it is more likely that she might have been attracted to the National Socialists vow to remake society. Had she been born in Germany, she might have even been a member of the Hitler youth, albeit a very young one,
No you missed the point of my question, according to Steinem, Hitler closed the abortion clinics when the Nazi’s came to power.
Germany was very conservative and religious at that time, I don’t think they had any abortion clinics.
Wasn’t abortion illegal under Nazi rule for parents who were of pure Aryan blood and had a duty to the Reich to bring Aryan children into the world?
IIRC, Hitler learned about eugenics and abortion from the works of Margaret Sanger, which were published years before he seized power.
Every totalitarian regime begins with controlling womens reproduction. Gloria , her very name, is a praise to the King of the Universe, the creator of all things and the ground of being. She will be damned by the God she hates. It is however, her own choice; she longs for the moment she can curse Him to His Face. It will be the final, commensurate, hate filled, act of her life. After that: horror. The King of the Universe created them male and female. Their rebellion to his law brought unhappy consequences including the pain and suffering involved with sexuality. His is the ultimate Regime and the original Patriarchy, that rules the Universe, for the Universe itself is a Patriarchy. That is why Jesus taught the traditional Jewish prayer to his Talmudim: the Our Father. So Ms Steinem, is about to die, and face the Judge, totally committed to the original sin attitude: Nobody is going to tell me what to do! Ive got news for her: she is going to be taken to where she refuses to go; she will bend her knee to the ultimate Patriarch and confess that He is King. Then she will be cast into darkness and horror. May she repent before it is too late. There is still time; and May G-d have mercy on her shriveled up soul.
Feminazis are anti-woman. They were perfectly willing to let women be murdered and raped by the likes of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton for the sake of a political agenda.
Take one for the team. Some pundits have even said that Mary Jo would gladly have sacrificed her life so that Ted Kennedy could continue his role as a politician.
The NAZIs began by exterminating those with birth defects and the terminally ill. Rationing health care was taking too long.

Communism kills. Fascism kills. Feminazism kills on par with one and excess of another.
“Every totalitarian regime begins with controlling womens reproduction.”
Lies by omission are damned lies.
Gloria Steinem lies about the abortion movement, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger decreed NO MORE BABIES for a period of 10 years after WWII in the West and didn’t give a damn if a woman WANTED to have a child. Choice wasn’t in her worldview.
Therefore Margaret Sanger was an anti-woman totalitarian just like this old bitter bitch.

You are right. And she will die as lonely as the hag she worshipped—Margaret Sanger.
