just because men disagree with the radical feminists, does not mean that men are against equality.


it means that men are against socialism.

This is a trick by the UN to impose abortion on the world. We should not support it.

If Eleanor "pap" Smeal is fer it - I'm agin it.

Are they referring to the ChiCom mandatory abortions to enforce the one-child policy or perhaps infanticide when the child born happens to be a girl?

[Dog Gone]

Yawn.

America actually liberates women. The UN talks about it.

[Tarpon]

So what have we got here? The leftist view of womens rights or the Iraqis and Afghanis view? I vote we go with the Iraqis and Afghani's on this one.

BTW where are these so-called womens groups on Iraq and Afghanistan? I think you know the answers.

[yeetch!]

Hill's baby as I recall.

YES!!!!!

Kofi annan tries to piss on the USA by trying to organize a global security force under UN control, tries to LIE and say the UN did the initial relief work for the Tsunami disaster. (if you watched the BBC you never even knew the USA was there, it was all UN cooooordinated.)

GW Bush MUST keep kicking the UN. They obviously have not learned their lesson.

[leadpenny]

Oh, yeah, as I remember, Hillary was right at home with the Chi-Coms.

[Fido969]

BTW where are these so-called womens groups on Iraq and Afghanistan?

Where were they when Saddam's regime was raping, torturing and murdering women?

As I recall they were all busy standing "shoulder to shoulder" showing support for Bill Clinton.

[WFTR]

It was at the 1995 Beijing Women's Conference that women around the world took up the rallying cry: "women's rights are human rights."

This statement is wrong. Human rights are human rights. Women possess those rights, but they have no right to anything more or anything less. The previous conference was just an opportunity for Hillary and her cohorts to sit around squawking about what they wish could be. We have no reason to support the furtherance of her demented wishes. If the president goes through with reducing support for that nonsense, he will have done a very good thing for this nation and this world. Applause to President Bush.

These activist should try telling the Arab world how to treat their women.

Then they better run for their lives. ;-)

Didn't Hitlery attend this as the U.S. Rep? Didn't she refuse to see some Chinese pro-democracy activists or something? Is this where she hugged Mrs. Yasser Arafat? I don't know why I seem to remember that . . . but even if she didn't, this is the kinda radical nonsense the Klintoons gave to us, along with Kyoto, the World Court, and other who-cares-about-American-sovereignty BS.

Supported by . . . Amnesty International; Center for Health and Gender Equity; Center for Women's Global Leadership; Feminist Majority; U.S. Committee for UNFPA; Women's Edge Coalition; Women's Environment and Development Organization; Blah, blah, blah.

As an aside . . . I don't profess to know squat about ALL the issues this pertains to but if these folks are for it, I suspect it ain't in our best interest.

[geedee]

OOOOOpppppsssss! LOL. I should've read ALL the threads and I'd known about Hitlery.

"The U.S. should reaffirm, not retreat from, women's rights and equality. Globally, this is about saving women's lives," said Eleanor Smeal, president of Feminist Majority.

I am not sure the 100 million aborted girls would agree with that assessment.

[MKM1960]

I have never thought about it in that way. That is a very powerful statement that you have made there, Always. Just shores up the hypocrisy of the pro choice/womens movement.
That is a full seven course dinner under the food for thought heading.

[MarkL]

Is President Bush "turning his back" on a UN resolution... The same UN that's involved in the slave sex trade? That UN?

[layman]

The most recent U.S. statement of position, for example, asserts “parental rights” to make reproductive health decisions for adolescents, stresses U.S. support for abstinence-only sex education, and reserves the U.S. position on sexual rights.

These are some of the areas where the U.S. position differs from the existing agreement.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

"The U.S. should reaffirm, not retreat from, women's rights and equality. Globally, this is about saving women's lives," said Eleanor Smeal, president of Feminist Majority."

err....retreat? What are you smoking you twit?
