This week the mouthpiece of the modern feminist movement - Ms. Magazine - demonstrated for the world why the heartbeat of modern feminists is as corrupt, jaded, and evil as that of Charles Carl Roberts - the person who wished to sexually assault and kill ten Amish school girls in Pennsylvania.
And before you begin to hyperventilate, turn purple face, and spray spittle across the room, let me assure you - it's a more than fair comparison. This coming Tuesday, Ms. Magazine will release its new issue with the cover story, "We Had Abortions (and we're glad we did)." The purpose of the piece according to the editors is to refocus the spotlight of the abortion issue "back on the lives of women." I don't wish to speak on their behalf, but I believe they merely mean all grown women. The story is intended to gloss over the millions of women who have had negative reactions to the abortion experience in their own life and choose to instead highlight a petition in which 1000+ very misguided women signed a statement affirming their belief that their lives were infinitely improved because they snuffed the life out of the most vulnerable person they personally had ever known - their unborn daughter (or son, or both). The belief embodied in the magazine's efforts shows to everyone the madness involved in our ever increasingly "morally relevant" culture. It also demonstrates how our society is neither moral nor relevant most of the time. Could there be a worse week to make such an announcement? To add insult to injury the Ms. Magazine website boasts more than 5000 signatures to the petition. So there you have it 6000 women saying abortion is great vs. millions who dare to disagree. And as a demonstration of total fairness the organization 'Silent No More' which includes the magnificent work of Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) was shunned completely by the editors of Ms. when they asked if they could contribute data on women who reject abortion after experiencing one. So back to my premise, the modern feminists - as bad as Amish school shooters... Yes! Absolutely! But the more interesting question is, "where's the outrage?" And a worthy question it is. This past Monday a relatively calm man, struggled with demons that weighed in on his soul - in other words, "no one could tell him how to deal with his problems, because they hadn't been in his shoes." He had certainly done things in his past that he was not proud of. He felt there was literally no where to turn. And for all of his wife's prayer groups - he still did not see how he was going to be able to go on with life if he didn't make a choice that relieved him of his mental torture. After all it was his life, and no one should be allowed to dictate to him how he should deal with his painful choices - even if he made them years ago. Yet if you took that entire last paragraph and put it into the mouths of those who have stood face to face with you and argued about the need for the availability of abortion - have they not made the exact same reasoning? What modern feminists will never admit is everything ugly about what they claim their "choices" entitle them to. But with Charles Carl Roberts the ugly evidence could not be hidden. If Planned Parenthood put a disclaimer in all of their African-American neighborhood targeted locations that read something along the lines of, "upon completion of your abortion today you will have exercised the same willful, and deranged murder as the man who shot the school girls in Amish country," I wonder how much more business they would continue to be able to do. By all accounts the coroner and those who were sent to clean up the damage in Pennsylvania saw some of the most horrific sights imaginable to the human mind. And yet these are the same sights that every nurse practitioner sees every day in a "women's health clinic." The big difference of course is that the majority of Americans will not stand for this, once they have mental awareness of the substance of the act involved. After all, what is more humane - a bullet through the back of the skull, or having the skull crushed then vacuumed, or sent through a series of chopping mechanisms, or washed in potent acids? I wonder which of these methods Cindy Sheehan would have used against President Bush, if she had been able to travel through time and kill him as an infant, as she explained she would have been all to eager to do this past weekend at a book signing in Huntington, Long Island. It is no mistake that the left sees the utility in child murder, thus why they are so conflicted when they see a story like the Amish shooting. In their heart of hearts they already understand that killing an innocent young girl in an old fashioned school house is little different than killing and even more innocent girl in a place that was designed by God to be a womb of safety, comfort, nourishment, and life. The modern liberal feminists of our day completely embrace the concept of child murder; they have 6000 signatures to prove it. And of those, they've taken the lives of 5995 more innocent children than did the Amish school shooter just this week. Really something to brag about isn't it?
Exactly!

I wrote a letter to Ms Mag:
Did you ever consider doing a piece on all the women who've had abortions and found themselves regretting their choice?
Your tunnel-vision on this is one of the reasons women like me, baby-boomers who were once proud of the feminist movement, are now disappointed and discouraged by your approaches to women's issues.
What you've become is ironic. So many of the very qualities you claimed to find detestable in men- you've woven into feminism...rigidity of thought, manipulative and dishonest behavior and an inability or unwillingness to validate opinions other than your own.
From where I sit you look like you're stuck in a stage of development, but are unable to go beyond it to completion. There are thousands, probably millions of women, who like me, are not "extreme right-wing, born-again Christians" that find the feminist movement of our younger years didn't move or grow with us.
You're not about partnerships with men, you're about dominating them. You're not about choice, you're about abortion. You're not about equality, you're about running men into the ground. You're not about becoming better women, you're about becoming men with breasts. Damn shame.

Anyone who wants to know what feminism is about needs to read Tammy Bruce's books. As a former feminazi I can tell you that she is RIGHT!
My oldest daughter was talked into having an abortion by her boyfriend (now her husband). Her boyfriend (at that time) was divorced. His ex-wife had their child, but he was financially strapped with child support payments and did not want to deal with another child. My daughter suffered years of mental anguish and depression as a result. She was strongly against abortion, but caved to the pressure put on her. Their relationship became very strained as a result, and they broke up many times before she finally got some counseling help to deal with the depression. She is okay now, but the scars remain. My wife and I also share that pain with her. The child lost was our grandchild who we will now never get to hold. Abortions don't just affect those who have them. It is an evil act.
Excellent letter SE Mom. Thank you for writing to them. Please read my earlier post regarding my oldest daughter.
God Bless you and your Vet son.
BRAVA!! What a well written piece. Thank You.
This piece is not about a "social program" for "poor women" who cannot afford ... children ... or to cross their legs...
Abortion, the left's desperate and suicidal answer to feeling uncondemned and "free" "again"... as if a scumbag were scott free by being even more of a scumbag in a death spiral of sorts.
America daily aborts hundreds of babies, thereby cheapening the value of children. They have become an ostensibly 'fungible' and an all-too easily-replaceable commodity.
For over two generations, the public school system has taught in a moral vacuum, expelling God from the school and from the government, replacing Him with evolution, where the strong kill the weak, without moral consequences and life has no inherent value.
We now teach there are no absolutes; no right or wrong. Just gray areas in which to dwell. And I assure you the murder of innocent babies/children is always wrong, including by abortion. Abortion has steadily-diminished the value of children. Suicide has become an acceptable action and has further emboldened these criminals.
We are seeing an epidemic increase in murder-suicide attacks on our children. Sadly, our schools are not safe, and they never will be safe. Our schools, hospitals, malls, office parks etc, will always be "soft targets", ripe for terrorist attacks.
You're not about partnerships with men, you're about dominating them. You're not about choice, you're about abortion. You're not about equality, you're about running men into the ground. You're not about becoming better women, you're about becoming men with breasts. Damn shame.

They are not about freedom. They are Marxists!
I know. I was once an active member of NOW.
"I Had an Abortion'' Trademark a Big Seller
MS Magazine’s campaign for what it calls “honesty and freedom” has turned into a merchandising bonanza.
“Our t-shirts and mugs with the ‘I had an abortion’ slogan on them have been flying off the shelves,” said MS spokeswoman, Ann Savage. “We can’t stock enough of them.”
The success of the MS merchandising effort has sparked a wave of imitators. The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) has initiated its own line of products with the slogan “I buggered a boy.” “We have a line of outerwear for our more outgoing members,” said Ivan Humphrey. “We have a line of stenciled underwear for our more discreet clientele.”
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is test-marketing its slogan “I vandalized a lab” merchandise.
Not wanting to be left behind in this rising fad, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is thinking of reviving its “I vote Democrat” line of sweatshirts. “We initially had to drop the product when wearers reported that strangers laughed at them when they wore the shirts out in public,” said Howard Dean, Chairman of the DNC. “Given the revenue potential demonstrated by the success of slogans of other groups that speak to Democrats’ core values, though, it may be worth another try.”

It seems to me the numbers of actual feminists are a lot smaller than, say, 25 years ago. Or...I'm just older and don't know anyone who's militant anything..anymore:)
It also seems...the only thing they REALLY care about is abortion. I don't believe for a minute they care about choice.
Killing babies is all they EVER cared about. Notice that MS. magazine doesn't focus on women who "choose" to have their babies, or regret their "choice" to commit infanticide.
I have asked pro-abortionists what exactly in society is better since abortion became legal. They haven't answered that question.
The only peaceful transition I would be willing to vote for is the complete annhilation of Zawahiri and his fellow animals. And, any demoncRAT who even suggests this nation bow down to these filthy animals would find many Americans taking up arms (votes) against them.
There is no answer to that question.
"We now teach there are no absolutes; no right or wrong. "
What you mean "We?"
How do you look him in the eye? Has he reformed or is he still "controlling"?
