“Stolberg’s theory seems like a good one at face value. She constructs that argument that younger generations aren’t as rabidly pro-abortion as older generations because they never grew up in a world where abortion was illegal..”
Maybe because we were able to grow up PERIOD.
Life is a bit sweeter, and valued more, when you realize that we could have been snuffed out thanks to the boomers need for “choice”.
Feminists never stood for equal rights. They are a branch of Utopians who hold amongst other things that our reproductive organs should be viewed pleasure organs.
That is, rather than pleasure being a means to foster reproduction, fleeting pleasure becomes an end in itself and reproduction is something to be combated like a sexually-transmitted disease.
And look at the result: STDs are increasingly virulent and intractable. Women making babies with multiple men are increasingly commonplace and they audition for marriage in mens’ beds.
Some liberation.
So the Islamists point to how we merchandise our women and offer their way of life as a more respectable alternative: being held as chattel for breeding.
Spoiled middle-class baby boomers were all about rejecting authority in any form. Abortions of convenience were available, the issue has always been a red herring. Abortion was also a pre-emptive aggressive strike against husbands and boyfriends, taking the war between the sexes to a new level. The 60s and 70s saw a huge wave of resentment against male “oppressors” generated by the lesbians who felt forced into unwanted marriages. Now that lesbianism is tolerated and women don’t need men for economic support, abortion is a symbolic issue, not a real issue. Abortions of convenience are readily available.
“The die-hard days of radical pro-abortion feminism are disappearing. The era of “choice,” “reproductive freedom,” and “women’s rights,” are fading as the most adamant pro-abortion activists age. “
I’m afraid I don’t see this. Lots of youthful hate filled radicals out there unfortunately.
Science is often thought a friend to Libs; in this case it is a dreaded foe. Science will soon end most of the debate about “choice”. In coming years, much will be known about the unborn; they will be treated by physicians to an extent unimaginable today. Just as we look back at Libs who once argued that African Slaves were only one-half human, so too will today’s Libs be proved fools on “choice”.
Part of me is slightly curious as to whether part of this decline in their numbers is due to the fact that liberals, in aborting their children, have been basically killing the very people who would have otherwise been raised to espouse their values and ultimately take their place.
And the day will come when these women who so stridently advocated the killing of the unborn and aborted their own children will have to stand before God and answer for what they have done. May HE have mercy on their souls ‘cuz I sure don’t. I don’t have children of my own regreatably but I’m grateful to God my late mother and my sisters, my sisters-in-law and my daughter-in-law didn’t excerise their ‘’choice’’ becuase they’ve all made me a son, an uncle and a grandfather.
What thou do unto the least of my bretheren thou doest unto me’’.
im not gonna miss those fat, abrasive, misanthropic, dysfunctional modern women, that’s for sure.
“She constructs that argument that younger generations aren’t as rabidly pro-abortion as older generations because they never grew up in a world where abortion was illegal.”
They are all abortion survivors.

Being more pro-abortion then not back in the day, my eyes were opened when I saw an ultrasound.
