Marchers Hurls Trash, Screams Epithets, Expose their Genitals, and Embrace each other Sexually While Group Prays Silently CORDOBA, October 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A pro-abortion march by angry feminists in the Argentine city of Cordoba became the scene of religious harassment last Sunday as demonstrators assaulted a peaceful group of Catholics praying in front of the Cathedral. The feminists, who were participating in the Twenty-Second Annual National Women's Encounter, erupted into a frenzy of obscenity and violence, throwing trash and screaming epithets at the counter-demonstrators, who stood on the steps of the Cathedral with a banner over their heads...

Ann Coulter, wearing black sunglasses, a white tank top and capri pants, was sitting on a couch in the Carlyle Hotel’s tea room. It was a few days before the publication of her book, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans. I asked her if the war on terror was still the No. 1 issue. “It’s the top nine of 10 issues. For Democrats, it’s about number 57. We’ll see, but I think Americans are smarter than we think. We think we know what Americans think as reflected in the mainstream media—well, that has been wrong so many times....

Fr. Conde denying communion to one of the abortion supporters (photo: La Prensa) Managua, Oct 1, 2007 / 11:51 am (CNA).- Just yesterday, feminists and pro-abortion supporters interrupted Mass at the Cathedral of Managua in Nicaragua and attempted to receive Holy Communion.  When they were refused, according to church law, they reacted violently and forced the celebrant to end the Mass.The decision by the celebrant, Father Bismark Conde, to deny them Communion bothered the women, some of whom are members of “Catholics for a Free Choice.”  They remained in the church and demanded to receive the Eucharist.According to the Nicaraguan...

Poll: Presidential Candidate Backing of Tax Payer Funded Abortion Decreases Support Among 68% of Women WASHINGTON, D.C., August 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A national survey of women voters this week revealed that Hillary Clinton has a long way to go before she can claim the "women's vote." In fact the poll, commissioned by the Susan B. Anthony List (http://www.sba-list.org/), found that while Clinton enjoys support among women voters, her support is underwhelming at best. "Women may be ready to vote for a female president, but Hillary Clinton doesn't fit the bill," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony...

<p>Apparently the Brisbane Times and Sydney Morning Herald will not allow articles to be posted, due to copyright complaints ... so I've provided a link to the article.</p> <p>The gist of the article is that a few radical feminist blogs (such as the Womens Space and Gentle Sprit) have recently been attacked and shut down in severe denial of service attacks.</p>

This year marks the 62nd anniversary of the atomic bombings of Japan. Every year at this time anti-American hyperbole is at a fever pitch. The revisionist historians that abound in American academia have a field day. They rant about the “racist” decision to bomb defenseless cities, all the while leaving out the complete and utter destruction of Dresden Germany. A city largely populated by white Germans! Pay no attention to Dresden they had it coming. The hue and cry from communists masquerading as professors is nearly drowned out by the cacophony of traitors who agitate for withdrawal from the mid-east...

July 16, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Although few have heard of her outside the movement she helped to shape, the psychologist Evelyn Hooker's contributions to the advance of the homosexual political movement puts her in an historical class with Margaret Sanger, the foundress of Planned Parenthood and institutionalized abortion, and Alfred Kinsey the "father" of the sexual revolution. Hooker, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles for 30 years, is credited in the medical and psychological community, and most especially amongst homosexual political activists, with establishing that there is no measurable psychological difference between heterosexual and...

That sound you hear is a scream. Followed by a deafening silence. Last month a horrific video portraying an Iraqi mob stoning and kicking to death a 17 year old girl, Doaa Khalil Aswad, made the rounds on You Tube. Her crime: She eloped with a man of the wrong religion. The deafening silence you hear comes from American 'feminists'. Well, not silence exactly. America's feminists were otherwise occupied...they were engaged in the monumental fight to expand the definition of marriage to include lesbians, gays and transgendered persons. As you're reading this, dozens of courageous Iranian student activists are being...

Just when I thought everything was going so well in the Baptist Church, another church came along and swept me away. In fact, from the moment I logged on to www.HerChurch.org I realized I had to move to San Francisco to join Ebenezer Lutheran Church (ELCA). Now that I’ll no longer be Baptist I can have sex standing up without the fear that people will think I’m dancing. Another advantage of ELCA is that it dubs itself “A home for women's spirituality” rather than a “house of God” (how boring is that?). It’s a sort of spiritual headquarters for the...

Full Title: MAYOR GIULIANI SIGNS CITY COUNCIL BILL NO. 804-A INTO LAW, PROHIBITING THE PUBLIC DISPLAY OF DISCRIMINATORY PRICING BASED ON GENDER. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani today signed City Council Bill Number 804-A, a law that amends the Administrative Code of the City of New York to prohibit the public display of discriminatory pricing based on gender by a retail establishment. "While my Administration and Human Rights Commission have made every effort to root out discriminatory gender pricing, this law provides an added level of protection for consumers," Mayor Giuliani said. "This law prohibits businesses such as hair cutting and...

Feminists in Germany say a celebrity author who advocates that women stay at home to raise families is evoking memories of World War II Nazis. Former television news host Eva Herman, 47, wrote a book filled with letters from women who now wish they had chosen to raise their own families instead of working. Herman also says mothers should be paid $22,000 to $27,500 as "family managers," a Times of London correspondent reported from Berlin. However, Alice Schwarzer, a feminist campaigner and magazine editor evoked memories of the Nazi era, when women who had more than three children were awarded...

A man who ripped out his wife's eyes in a fit of rage was sentenced by a French court to 30 years behind bars on Tuesday. Mohamed Hadfi, 31, tore out his 23-year-old wife Samira Bari's eyes following a heated argument in their apartment in the southern French city of Nimes in July 2003 after she refused to have sex with him. Bari, who had demanded a divorce before the attack, was permanently blinded. Hadfi, a Moroccan, initially fled to Germany. He was arrested and sent back to France, where he was indicted for "acts of torture and barbarity leading...

The feminist takeover of Harvard is imminent. The Harvard Crimson reported yesterday that the university is about to name as its new president Drew Gilpin Faust, dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Harvard’s Corporation, which is likely to recommend Faust to the university’s Board of Overseers for confirmation, could not have more clearly repudiated Lawrence Summers’s all-too-brief reign of meritocracy and academic honesty, or more openly signaled that Harvard will now be the leader in politically correct victimology. Faust runs one of the most powerful incubators of feminist complaint and nonsensical academic theory in the country. You can...

We've really struck a chord. A week before the Fall issue of Ms. hits newsstands, the media is already buzzing about our cover story, "We Had Abortions," a campaign to put real women's lives back into the abortion debate by publishing some of the thousands of signatories to our Ms. Petition for Safe, Legal and Accessible Abortion and Birth Control. In this time of abortion bans, women who have had abortions are standing up and taking the debate out of the hands of the politicians and getting women's lives back in the picture. An AP story ran yesterday about the...

Call it the backlash against the backlash. Over the past decade, Americans have increasingly understood that the divorce revolution, fatherlessness and single parent households are harming our children. Now those who view the traditional family as disadvantageous to women are firing back, defending women who choose single motherhood and depicting fathers as superfluous. Last fall Stanford University Gender Scholar Peggy Drexler penned the highly-publicized book Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men. This month Oxford Press released Wellesley College Women's Studies Professor Rosanna Hertz’s Single by Chance, Mothers by Choice: How Women...

Three federal judicial nominees from Michigan cleared a key Senate committee today and are expected to win confirmation to the bench. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the nominations of Grand Rapids lawyer Robert Jonker, Berrien County Circuit Judge Paul Maloney and Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Janet Neff to the U.S. District Court for Michigan’s Western District. The Michigan nominees were approved as part of a package of eight federal judges and two U.S. attorneys from Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, West Virginia and Alabama. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the ranking...

Jane is a successful career woman. She has moved up rapidly in a competitive field, and is advancing her career by attending business school at night. Bob works out of their home and does most of the childcare. If Bob decides he doesn’t want Jane anymore, should he be able to take her kids away and push her to the margins of their lives? The opponents of the North Dakota Shared Parenting Initiative think he should. Under the NDSPI, unless a parent is unfit, both parents in a divorce will have joint legal and physical custody of their children. By...

Schwarzenegger Should Veto AB 2051 By Mike McCormick and Glenn Sacks The California Assembly just passed a domestic violence bill which will perpetuate the state’s harmful policy of excluding men and their children from receiving state-funded domestic violence services. Under AB 2051, only “battered women” are eligible for the shelters, hotel vouchers, counseling and legal services the state provides victims of domestic violence. Governor Schwarzenegger should veto this misguided legislation. Because AB 2051 is based on the discredited premise that men are rarely the victims of intimate partner abuse, the bill has aroused considerable opposition from domestic violence researchers and...

Jane Fonda, King Arthur Battle in Sweden With Sweden's general election too close to call, some of the smaller parties - from the serious to the absurd - grabbed some limelight on Friday. American actress Jane Fonda visited Stockholm to drum up support for the Feminist Initiative, a fledgling party with slim chances of winning enough votes for a seat in parliament. Speaking to some 300 supporters in a sun-filled central Stockholm square, Fonda, 68, called on Swedes to show there are "brave people in this country to support the feminist party." With opinion polls showing a real chance that...
