Leftwing Ms. Magazine sends email, says DU this poll
Click here to take the AOL poll ^

Posted on 10/04/2006 1:07:41 PM PDT by Gopher Broke

We've really struck a chord.

A week before the Fall issue of Ms. hits newsstands, the media is already buzzing about our cover story, "We Had Abortions," a campaign to put real women's lives back into the abortion debate by publishing some of the thousands of signatories to our Ms. Petition for Safe, Legal and Accessible Abortion and Birth Control. In this time of abortion bans, women who have had abortions are standing up and taking the debate out of the hands of the politicians and getting women's lives back in the picture.

An AP story ran yesterday about the Ms. petition, and was quickly picked up by countless newspapers and websites worldwide. Today, it's a front-page story on AOL.com, and they're running a poll asking readers their opinion about it. But the polling question is misleading - it asks what people think of Ms. naming women who have had abortions. In fact, those women are naming themselves, telling their own stories, because they want to speak truth to power at a time when abortion and birth control are under siege in this country.

We need your help to make AOL's polling numbers more accurately reflect what women are really thinking. Read the AP story at AOL.com, cast your vote, and let America know what you think.

If you haven't seen the new Ms. magazine, join the Ms. community today at a special discounted rate - 50% off - to get your fall issue delivered. After you read the cover story, write us and tell us what you think!

It would probably be appropriate to have a magazine cover showing the aborted babies as well if we want to show pictures of the participants in the procedure.

Ms. magazine is a feminist publication, owned by a feminist organiaztion. The petition is highly suspect as a result. I suspect, through research, that a lot of the participants are members of NOW. It is essentially a feminist newsletter, no ads.

Ms. has a circulation of 200,00. Women's Day has a circulation of 4,200,00, by comparison.

That should be 200,000 for Ms. and 4,200,000 for Women's Day.

Hey kids, if your Mom's on the list, you should just be thankful that you weren't randomly offed and flushed.

Luck of the draw. Sorry about your little brother though.

Sadly, the sacrifice of children to escape personal responsiblity fits the perverted image of the liberal worldview. Who could ever have imagined that not only do these misfits have no shame associated with such a heinous act of inhumanity, but to exalt it is beyond the civilized world.

Dear Ms Magazine: Some babies have been seen to cringe away from the forceps that come in to tear their head of.

Thank you.

Circulation 200,000 nation wide.

That reflects the fact that the staff has a real ability for writhing things that people don't want to read about. I wouldn't be surprised if th Klu Klux Klan house organ was bigger.

Ms. can't even tell the truth about the poll.

Here's what Ms. says: "But the polling question is misleading - it asks what people think of Ms. naming women who have had abortions."

Here' the poll question: "What do you think of Ms. magazine's listing of women who had abortions?"

Ms. is Msleading about who's misleading whom.
