'We had abortions': 5,000 on Ms. [magazine] petition

The signatories include Ms. founder Gloria Steinem,

This vile woman wears the fact that she had an abortion as a badge of honor.

[reg45]

Good! That's at least 5000 fewer liberals.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Not to be too graphic, but......

How could Gloria Steinam have had an abortion?


Being such a man hater, how did she ever.....um......do the types of things that cause pregnancy?

Findling, 42, is married, with a 5-year-old daughter, and has been trying to get pregnant again while pursuing her career as a philanthropic foundation executive.

Presumably they won't be giving anything to the Special Olympics.

Another signatory, Debbie Findling of San Francisco, described her difficult decision last year to have an abortion after tests showed that she would bear a son with Down syndrome.

"I felt it was my right to make the decision, but having that right doesn't make the decision any easier," she said. "It was the hardest decision I've ever made."

I'm speechless.

My, my, my!

What people will do to get their names printed in a magazine.

"The women thanked us for doing this," Smeal said. "They wanted to tell their stories."

You mean they wanted to try and remove some of their guilt. I'm certain it didn't work. If it does, they have no conscience.

[gotribe]

I bet Ms. Findling's parents were quite proud of her.

A " coyote drunk ".

That part of the article brought tears to my eyes.

"I wanted to do something bigger with myself -- I didn't want to be stopped by anything," she said in a telephone interview.

I'm sure that she meant to say "anyone." These people didn't just kill a child, they killed their own children. They'll say that it's "their body." That is false. A DNA sample from the baby they just ripped apart won't match their own DNA. Womb vs. delivery room is irrelevant; where the baby is located is just geography. It's like saying "it's ok to kill your kid in the living room, but not in the dining room." Evil!

Wow...where to begin?

<smacks head> That's it! The Nazi's should of just signed a petition.

"I'm Adolf Eichmann and I'm OK with what I've done. So why can't all of you just get over it?"

How truly sick it's all become.

[Kimmers]

This is just another example of the "celebration of sin" a fine tradition shared by many a liberal.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"Good! That's at least 5000 fewer liberals."

No, it just means 5,000 fewer babies. And then down the line, fewer crayon pictures on the refrigerator, fewer toys in the front yard, fewer jelly-sticky hands, fewer goodnight kisses, fewer silly requests like "Read me Goodnight Moon again, Mom," fewer great dreams of being an astronaut, a fireman, a ballerina, a pastrycook, a gymnast, a saint---

Nobody knows what these kids would have become. I'm terribly sorry that they're gone.

"how did she ever.....um......do the types of things ..."
Here is how she found the man....

[hinckley buzzard]

C'mon--she's an "executive" from San Francisco. Only designer children need apply. Can't be having those--y'know-- different children around, messing up the professional image. Trying again at 42--a real einstein to boot.

Freep the Ms magazine poll on the article here if ya want to:

What works for me is I ask my liberal female friends if they've signed up yet? Are they willing to admit to killing a child? Or, are they ashamed of what they did IF they did it? I have yet to have one woman admit to having an abortion. That may not be surprising since I don't have many liberal friends.
