Michelle Malkin - A message from Ashley Judd

Beautiful young actress Ashley Judd went to Washington last weekend wearing a crucifix and a trendy little T-shirt that boasted: "THIS IS WHAT A FEMINIST LOOKS LIKE."
 
The Associated Press snapped a photo of Ashley, honored guest of the "March for Women's Lives," which has been widely disseminated on the Internet. Pro-abortion leaders must be ecstatic. In a sea of angry (Hillary Rodham Clinton), haggard (Cybill Shepherd) and ghoulish (Whoopi Goldberg) women shaking their fists and waving coat hangers, Ashley's pretty smile helped put a softer, gentler and more glamorous spin on the morbid march for "reproductive rights."

 Ashley's message to millions of young American women and girls: Opposing the partial-birth abortion ban is fun! Morning-after pills are cool! Sex without consequences rules!

 One wonders what Ashley's mom, beloved country singer Naomi Judd, must have thought of her daughter traipsing around with abortion rights' militants. Naomi has spoken eloquently for years about how she firmly rejected abortion as an unwed teen and repeatedly witnessed the miracle of life as a labor and delivery nurse. "I've seen ultrasounds . . . you know that those babies are real," she told TV talk show host Sally Jesse Raphael in 1998.

 A few years later, Naomi faced off against Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., on ABC's "Politically Incorrect" and argued for an eminently reasonable 24-hour waiting period before abortions. Drawing on her nursing experience, Naomi advocated full disclosure of the risks and consequences of abortion -- including the use of ultrasound to give women the "whole picture." Sen. Mikulski growled that it was an "insult" to think that women didn't know what they were doing. Naomi responded that famous abortionist Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League, only disavowed his profession after witnessing abortion procedures filmed through ultrasound technology.

 "Oh, my God in heaven, this is a living human being in its mother's womb," Naomi quoted Nathanson confessing. "(H)e was devastated at what he had done."

 Needless to say, neither Naomi nor Dr. Nathanson was welcomed on the dais with Ashley, Whoopi and Cybill. Neither was Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, who committed the shocking sin of letting the truth about abortion slip out in a recent Newsweek interview. The procedure, she said, is about "stopping the process of life . . . I don't view abortion as just a nothing."

 One wonders at the candid conversation Mrs. Heinz Kerry might have had with Rebecca Porter, Florida director of Operation Outcry Silent No More, who recently attended a Kerry campaign event in Tampa, Fla. Porter quietly held a sign that read, "My abortion hurt me." Candidate John Kerry stared at Porter's sign while working a handshake line, but did not address her. Instead, a Kerry campaign staffer grabbed the sign and tore it to pieces.

 Emulating the Democratic Party strategy (remember, this is the party that banned pro-life Democrat Bob Casey, the late governor of Pennsylvania, from speaking at its 1992 presidential convention), the free-speech fanatics of the Left did their best to stifle pro-life dissent and voices of conscience at last weekend's march. They shouted down counter-protesters and tried to hide pro-life protest signs by covering them with their profanity-laced placards. The abortionistas got unexpected help from the Bush administration's National Park Service, which forbade many pro-lifers from displaying graphic posters on adjacent sidewalks.

 Nonetheless, the truth keeps slipping out. In Britain, a ground-breaking documentary by filmmaker Julia Black titled "My Foetus" aired last week. Black is pro-choice, but says she "wanted to kick-start debate by allowing both sides . . . to actually look at what an abortion is." Her film showed a four-week-old fetus being vacuumed from its mother's womb -- as well as images of the broken limbs of 10, 11 and 21-week-old aborted children.

 Pro-choice journalist Lauren Booth described her response to the documentary this way: "My hand flew to my mouth in shock. I swallowed. I didn't want to say it, but the word 'murder' came to my lips."

 This is the true face of abortion, Ashley. Multiply it by 40 million. The mass destruction of unborn life in the name of feminist rights is not "just a nothing." Go ask your mom.

Thank you for the link.

Maxine Waters[:] ...After sending a civil message to the president ("George W Bush, go to hell! And while you’re at it, we want you to take Ashcroft with you. And don’t forget Rumsfeld. And please carry along Condi Rice.")

Interesting mixed message there, Maxine. Espcecially since Condi Rice is known to be 'pro-choice.'

This is what a feminist looks like

Unfortunately, Ashley, a majority of them look like this. Still, it doesn't matter what pretty bow you tie on the abortion/feminist agenda box, it's not a nice surprise inside. Wish somebody had a shirt at the rally with a picture of an aborted baby that said--This is what an aborted feminist looks like

[beaversmom]

Condi's black on the outside, white on the inside--not a true black in Ms. Waters' estimation.

Unfortunately, that person would have been arrested. apparently "graphic pictures" from counter protesters were banned at the rally under threat of arrest.

A guy showed up with a fetus in a jar and he was face planted on the pavement, handcuffed, and spirited away (pic is in the Mr Silverback's caption thread). In DC it's freedom of speech by permit only.

How many women's lives have been damaged by the lies of their "sisters"? Abortion leads to higher drug use, depression, suicide and dysfunction with relationships. Very few women survive abortion with their emotional lives intact. Add to the racist targeting of abortion and the lies are obvious. Malkin Rox!

Instead, a Kerry campaign staffer grabbed the sign and tore it to pieces.
WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

Yep .. there was a thread here on FR about

[Mo1]

Hmm .. what is that piece of jewelry that she's wearing around her neck??

Ashley is a hypocrite

[Mr. Silverback]

That's a smile? Looks more like a rictus to me! Here's the photo Malkin is discussing, and my recaption of it from this week's Useful Idiot Caption-A-Rama:

What a coincidence, that's also what a brainless endorser of child-murder looks like.

Note: There is a whole big fat section of the Caption-A-Rama where I re-captioned photos of the Death March. Sort of my own version of Donald Duck heil-ing right in the Fuhrer's face.

Beautiful body. Ugly soul.

The Ashley neck picture reminds me of Rachel Corrie burining the flag amidst the pali schoolchildren.

[luckymom]

I wondered if anyone with satellite tv was able to see it (My Foetus), and what they thought... Anyone?

[luckymom]

"What the heck happened to her neck?"


Gills. It goes to show you she's not human.

[hummingbird]

OK, I've had my rant, LOL.

Good rant! Pity about Ash...good actress and "cute as a button," but when she vehemently advocates abortion, the inner ugliness shows up on the outside, doesn't it? Guess it starts with the neck on her.

Also, if she is doing this to jumpstart her career, that'll show up sooner or later, too...probably as "cankles" or her butt will become uncontrollably wide and full of cellulite.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that." LOL!

[hummingbird]

OK, my neck is all primed and any second now, I'm gonna cut loose and CROW!!

"BA BAAACK"!

Ashley...what a fashionista...she cinches her shoulder sash around the waist just to be sure her "Honored Guest" status doesn't conflict with her ensemble. And, the yellow is perfect with the colors she was already wearing! Serendipity!

[Hammerhead]

I need a bumper sticker that reads:

"How uterusly choice of you to kill your child"

[MHGinTN]

"No, they're aborting their potential children out of existance." Smocker Sadly, you've repeated one of their most demonic notions, that the unborn are 'potential' children. I assure you that from the first cell division onward, it is the lifetime of at least one fellow human being at stake, not a potential child. The key to understanding this is to realize that the cell division is being done by a HUMAN ORGANISM, not a clump of sub-organ cells. The differentiation between organ (or sub-cell of an organ such as an oocyte or sperm) and ORGANISM is the truth the demonic lie seeks to obfuscate. Please, try to think of even embryonic individuals as fellow human beings at their earliest age in their lifetime already up and running.

Makeup does wonders - and some plastic surgery would help

I've also read that she carries around her own light gels for television interviews. Like many in front of the camera, HDTV can be unkind and the corrective lighting from the filters smooth out wrinkles and even out skin tone.

"Darn you to heck, HDTV!"
LOL!

[ApesForEvolution]

Another worthless baby-butchering tool of the islamocommiefascistRAT persuasion saves me $$$ at the box office.

The list of actors whose movies I no longer will support is getting longer every day.

Now she goes on a bunch of pipples' lists...

[F.J. Mitchell]

How can stupidity and Hollywood, take someone God made so close to perfectly beautiful on the outside, and make them so damn grotesquely ugly on the inside?
