At a New York campaign rally for Hillary Clinton Monday, Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards pretty much said that pro-life women aren’t really women, nor do they support women’s rights. It wasn’t that specific, as she said, “A woman voting for Ted Cruz is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.” So, as a woman, you must vote for a pro-abortion candidate? And if you don’t, you’re stupid, misinformed, or worse, not really supportive of American women. It’s typical liberal bullying. Conform to my principles because if you don’t–your whole existence doesn’t make sense. I can’t convince you, so you must be just wrong.
The last time I checked, this was America, where I could be conservative, pro-life, and pro-gun regardless of my age, race, gender, or sexual orientation.
You can be black and gay. You can be a woman and pro-life. You can be gay and a Republican. You can be feminist and support gun rights (self-defense). You can be a liberal and disagree with hate crimes legislation. Belonging to once race, gender, or whatever does not shut off certain points of view. Many Americans agree, as we see more and more of them register as Independent–not wanting to be associated with labels, or endless phone calls from national party committees asking for money.

For liberals, this is problematic because it takes effort. It’s easy to say that because you’re Asian, you must be a Democrat. With Richards, the implication is wholly anti-free speech and, in some ways, anti-American. Not all women agree with the Richards position that to be a real woman, you must vote pro-abortion. That’s a lazy way to vote.
Lastly, it’s probably not the best optics for Richards to invoke chicken slaughterhouses, given that her organization has been accused of participating in illegal trafficking of aborted baby parts. In fact, the nation’s largest abortion provider should avert any references relating to slaughter, even though they don’t view killing babies as tantamount to killing a human being. Well, that is until you ask them when life begins, then pro-aborts either talk themselves into a knot or flee. Nevertheless, this is a free country - Richards can say that pro-life women aren’t women if they don’t support Clinton or Planned Parenthood, and rattle off the KFC references, but it shows they have an appalling lack of self-awareness. Moreover, it's cookie-cutter politics at its worst.
KFC treats chickens better than Planned Parenthood treats babies.— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 18, 2016
Planned Parenthood reserves the right to define what is a “woman.”
In addition to reserving the right to define what is a “human being.”
Too bad Cecile’s mother didn’t feel that strongly about abortion when she conceived that spawn of Satan..I would have driven her to the PP Clinic
Yep, pretty much what it boils down to.
It is extreme tribalism and silo-thinking.
There are people who cannot fathom that there are women who consider abortion to be the be all and end all of womanhood.
What an extremely narrow view of being a woman or even a human that this is the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER.
It is like talking to people who are stamp collectors who cannot relate to anyone who does not collect stamps and think that stamp collecting is the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER. So boring and reductive.
And women who want to be able to kill their BABY at every stage of their gestation are called what?
“normal”???
You do know who her mother is, don’t you?
Planned Parenthood: Because Your Baby Isn’t Going to Kill Itself.
Correction: It’s not Planned Parenthood. It’s Planned Butcherhood
Yeah, Ann Richards, I think she was the former Governor, am I right?
Yep.
She of the “silver foot” crack.
So, yeah, she did spawn off a thief who rips out babies from their mothers' bodies and sells off the body parts to the highest bidder.
Seems she spawned the worst of them all, someone who can sit back and watch babies get slaughtered with a smile on her face, no greater evil than that
I guarantee I’m 100% woman (I think we covered that in med school) and I am 100% pro life Ms planned parenthood is welcome to come argue either point with me
Women who are that extreme are seeking to ease their own conscience, usually because they’ve had one or more abortions and are in denial over how they feel about them.
You know, I just don’t think that PP goes far enough.
You’ve got the left saying how government had no business telling women what to do with their bodies, and they need to allow late term abortions, no matter how “late.”
So, why stop at the actual birth? I think PP should actually lobby for the release of Susan Smith, and champion her as the leader of the New Womyn’s Liberation Party.
After all, she just performed 2 late term abortions when she strapped those late term fetuses into their “fetus seats” and drove her car into the lake. One a 15th trimester abortion, the other just shy an 8 trimester abortion.
They need to get the next dem president to give her a presidential pardon, then put her face on the $20 bill, as a hero of all womyn!
