Which is why I never joined NOW, and why Tammy Bruce left.
I have come to the conclusion that women’s rights is really just a one issue movement, and the central piece of it is abortion on demand. It has nothing to do with anything else, because that seems to be the litmus test. Not pro abortion from conception to birth? Then you’re not a feminist.

Ummmmm. I think the phrase is 'hammer and tongs'.
I got a visual from your phrase, though...
Why do the left keep claiming that Sarah Palin will be abandoning her “5 children” if she gets elected? The last I heard that of the “5”, ONE is an adult who will be deployed to Iraq tomorrow, and ONE is about the be married. That leaves “3” children, which is only one more than the Obamas. So I guess, two children is OK, but three is the new tipping point??? Is Michelle Obama planning on quitting her job to take care of her daughters?
If there is a sadder and blacker case of hypocrisy than that, I hope I am never exposed to it. I am a man who endorses the right to work, and the equal wage...and I will never, NEVER give this kind of feminist any credit for either. Liars and blackguards, else dupes and confused, all.
It’s pure hypocracy coming from the left. Nothing more.
The whole ‘movement’ isn’t even about abortion. It’s a bunch of people who’ve been duped into supporting RvW under the guise of “women’s rights”. In doing so, they advocate for judges who will undermine our system of government and help to bring about communism in the US. That’s the real agenda of the people doing the duping. The abortion supporting ‘feminists’, at least the majority of them, are just the unwitting accomplices.
Sarah Palin is the ultimate super woman. Wife, mom, governor, hunter, smart, beautiful inside and out. A very strong woman - just like the pioneer women. All the liberal feminists have is their 1 issue - abortion. Sarah presents a very clear choice to all of us women this election.
I believe most mothers work because the houshold needs the extra income to PAY THE FRIGGING OUTRGEOUSLY HIGH TAXES!
The fact that one "child" is about to start his service in the military, and another is about to get married and start a family would indicate that two of the "children" won't be needing mom on a day-to-day basis.
The media also seems to want to overlook that Todd helps raise their children. You would think that he would be a hero in their eyes.
From the pictures I've seen of garden-variety feminists, none of them will ever have to worry about needing an abortion.
Sarah Palin is taking feminism away from the mean faced, short clipped hair crowd and giving it to actual women.
Wow. Interesting observation and I never thought of it!

“Keeping abortion legal” is just the “front” reason that pro-aborts give.
What they really want is “keeping all indications that abortion is wrong out of public view”. It bothers their consciences too much.
Also, the bible has something to say about “feminism”. Feminists (as described by the leftist version) are listed in the same sentence as rebellious children.
Isaiah 3:12
Children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.
Modern feminists = women shaking their fists at God for making them women.
No. He got the "thong" part right. It was the "hammer" that was wrong and should have been "hummer".
Scratch a femininist and you’ll find it all comes down to one thing and one thing only: abortion.
You can fire an RPG through the mythical glass ceiling, but if you’re pro-life, you don’t count. If you’ve always hung on to your husband’s coattails to get where you are in life, but you’re pro-choice, you’re a leader in the feminist movement.
And as I’ve always said, and this article confirms, if you’re pro-life, the feminist movement doesn’t really see you as an actual woman. Just like if you’re a black Republican, you’re not really black to the NAACP’s of the world.
Trust me. My grandmother and aunt are well-known and highly respected in NOW (my aunt was a state president), and have defined their entire lives by being grievance-mongering feminists.
But from some of the forum posts in some places I’ve seen, some of the rank and file are starting to wake up...and every woman who looks and sees what’s really going on and shakes off that crap they’ve fed her is a victory that’s sweet...And Governor Palin is being the catalyst...
It’s a two-pronged attack.
Pro-abort judges will, indeed, further the cause of communism,
but also, abortion in and of itself is anti-family and anti-children (obviously). The family is the basis of our stable society, and a disrupted society is what is needed for a totalitarian takeover.
