One can just see the fiery fervency burning in Katha Pollitt's eyes as she wrote this article intending to defend women from being treated as mere objects to whom things happen, and demanding that they be seen as subjects, who think, speak, and act on and for their own best interests. In her zeal, of course, she is perfectly willing to demand that the unborn be treated as objects only. In other words, to protect what she views as the humanity of women, she is perfectly willing to deny humanity to the unborn. Somehow I think Dred Scott, his wife Harriet, and his daughters Eliza and Lizzie, if they were alive today, would recognize Pollitt's argument as very familiar, very close-to-home.

“After all, have you ever heard an apology from a crisis pregnancy center for masquerading as an abortion clinic? “

Why should they apologize. They are saving lives. That’s different than chopping up babies and selling their livers. For that, one should apologize.

WHY does the pro-choice movement so often find itself in a defensive crouch?

Oh, gee, I don't know - maybe because they think it is okay to mutilate and kill children?

I cringed as I watched Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards, apologize in a YouTube video last month for the lack of “compassion” in two doctors’ language at supposed business lunches arranged and secretly recorded by the anti-abortion Center for Medical Progress.

Oh, so that's what made her cringe? No the people talking about "less crunchy" means of killing the babies, "fully intact fetal cadavers", how it is "fun", etc.?

Only eight decades ago, Frau Pollitt would have been the perfect apologist for the Schutzstaffel’s healthcare outreach programs for Jews.

What about the women in Texas who lost access to gynecological care when the state defunded Planned Parenthood and did not, as promised, adequately replace its services?

I call bullsh*t!

[LegendHasIt]

Yeah, Katha.
I know how I cringed when Pol Pot apologized for performing all those 100th trimester abortions too, and used their 'goop' to fertilize the rice fields.

Logically, it’s not important how doctors talk at supposedly private meetings.

Actually, that's a completely illogical statement.

[MuttTheHoople]

Yeah, PLanned Parenthood...be REALLY PROUD TO SELL DEAD BABY PARTS! DON'T BE ASHAMED!!!

MONDAYS- 2 FOR 1 SALE!....TWO WHITE BABY LEGS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE BLACK BABY ARM, WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET SUCH A STEAL??????

Easier to fish around with a coat hangar?

[Captain Compassion]

For planned Parenthood a woman’s womb is a profit center.

[RansomOttawa]

WHY does the pro-choice movement so often find itself in a defensive crouch?

Oh, I don't know . . . because abortionists and the people who defend them are scumbags, and most people know it?

Logically, it’s not important how doctors talk at supposedly private meetings. If they were heart surgeons I doubt it would be an issue. But these are abortion providers, and that makes all the difference. . . . But the videos do cleverly evoke visceral feelings of disgust—graphic images, physicians using the words “crush” and “crunchy”—to activate the stereotype that abortion providers are money-grubbing baby killers.

Does Pollitt also wonder why graphic pictures of heart surgery might gross people out, but they probably won't provoke them to moral outrage? Talk about a complete lack of self-awareness.

women like this show me why God made this a man’s world. women believe it would be so much better with them in charge, when in fact it would be far worse.
