As arguments surrounding exceptions to laws protecting preborn children from abortion continue to rage, all the way to the Supreme Court, abortion advocates have been claiming that pro-life laws are a drastic threat to women’s lives — and one op-ed claims this danger is engineered on purpose. The extremely pro-abortion Ms. Magazine featured an article by Tess Graham in response to the case currently being heard by the Supreme Court regarding Idaho’s laws protecting preborn children from abortion. In Idaho vs. the United States, the Supreme Court is hearing a lawsuit from the Department of Justice (DOJ) claiming the state’s...

Ms. Magazine, which has a history of fabricating truths, straight-up lying, and being just about as pro-left as an outlet can be, released a piece last week titled “Punish, Torture, Kill: The Reality of Pregnancy in ‘Pro-Life’ America.” The piece aims to insist that the pro-life movement only exists to “force women to carry pregnancies against their will.” The piece is penned by Jill Filipovic, one of the staunchest abortion supporters in existence. Filipovic, when not writing dramatized pieces for Ms. Magazine, writes for Cosmopolitan and CNN, two notoriously left-leaning, abortion supporting outlets. It’s no wonder she went ham with...

Ms. Magazine editor and Hillary Clinton super-fan, Carmen Rios, recently took to Twitter to rejoice over the imagined death of former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders In two since-deleted tweets, Rios said, “rejoice, for one day bernie sanders will retire or die” and that she was, “gonna build a monument for all the women who were right and erect it on top of Bernie sanders’ grave.” Founded by Gloria Steinem and Letty Cottin Pogrebin in 1971, Ms. Magazine describes itself as a “landmark institution in both women’s rights and American journalism” and currently employs Rios to manage their online presence. On...

For almost forty years, Ms. magazine has been the most famous voice of the feminist movement in print. Co-founded by Gloria Steinem in 1972, the magazine is stalwartly feminist, retaining the language and spirit of the feminism of the 1970s. In other words, Ms. is the voice of feminist ideological orthodoxy. And the demand for unrestricted abortion rights is at the center of that ideology. That’s what makes the Winter 2011 edition of the magazine so interesting — and so disturbing. The issue features an article by Madeline Wheeler entitled “Saving the Girl Child,” which offers a report on “India’s...

An Internet-born movement to encourage solidarity with teen victims of gay bullying has spurred several celebrities, schools, and media to officially promote the pro-homosexual campaign by wearing purple this past Wednesday. A young woman named Brittany McMillan, who spread the idea on her Tumblr account, and was championed by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), reportedly began the movement, which is intended to memorialize homosexual youths who have killed themselves. Several media outlets endorsed the movement, including CNBC, the Today Show, E!, HGTV, Philadelphia Magazine, Ms. Magazine, The View, and numerous Spanish-language media. Even the New York Stock...

It may sound like a scenario from a super-secret nuclear contingency plan, but a silent killer has eliminated a population equal to that of America's 60 largest cities. Forty-eight and a half million Americans have vanished without a trace! According to Dennis Howard, who heads The Movement for a Better America, "that's not some imaginary nuclear contingency plan. It is in fact the cumulative impact of nearly 34 years of abortion on demand.” MT. FREEDOM, NJ - September 29, 2006 -- It may sound like a scenario from a super-secret nuclear contingency plan, but a silent killer has already eliminated...

Fearless White House correspondent Helen Thomas has covered nine presidents, and says Bush is undoubtedly the worst. It was the talk of the blogosphere: As part of Stephen Colbert's eviscerating roast of President Bush at the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in April -- wonkish Washington's equivalent of the Oscars -- he showed a hilarious video that was supposedly an "audition" for the job of White House press secretary. His costar in the satiric short: none other than the octogenarian doyenne of White House correspondents, Helen Thomas. Using actual TV footage of the White House press corps, Colbert (of...

Pierre, SD (LifeNews.com) -- The abortion debate has long been dominated by language on both sides that often times seems as if neither side is talking to the other. While pro-life advocates typically talk about how abortion destroys the lives of babies before their birth, abortion supporters frame debate in terms of a woman's choice. Pro-abortion groups expected backers of the South Dakota abortion ban to rely on traditional debate points to persuade voters to support the ban. However, the pro-life group heading up the fight for the ban is turning the abortion debate on its ear. By employing pro-woman...

This week the mouthpiece of the modern feminist movement - Ms. Magazine - demonstrated for the world why the heartbeat of modern feminists is as corrupt, jaded, and evil as that of Charles Carl Roberts - the person who wished to sexually assault and kill ten Amish school girls in Pennsylvania. And before you begin to hyperventilate, turn purple face, and spray spittle across the room, let me assure you - it's a more than fair comparison. This coming Tuesday, Ms. Magazine will release its new issue with the cover story, "We Had Abortions (and we're glad we did)." The...

I am presenting this article by Kathleen Parker because she comes very close to the position on abortion I have taken in my discussions on this site. I want Roe vs Wade (and Doe v. Bolton) overturned because in these decisions the Supreme Court shredded the Constitution and thrust the federal government into matters it has no right to affect under the republican form of government our forefathers so wisely created for us. I am personally pro-life, but at the state level I want no abortion limitations placed on mature, unmarried women because I never want to go back to...

Beverly Hills, CA (LifeNews.com) -- In an election-year effort to rally abortion advocates, Ms. Magazine plans to include the names of women who have had abortions and are happy about the decision in its next issue. However, Ms. is coming under fire from women who tried to tell the magazine's editors they regret their abortions. Georgette Forney, the head of a national group for women who wish they could undo their abortion decision, says she knows of many women who submitted petitions to Ms. saying their abortion decision was something that plagued them the rest of their lives.Forney told LifeNews.com...

FAMILY MATTERS Petitioning for Life "I had an abortion," Ms. Magazine urges its readers to declare. How about "I wasn't aborted"? The Web site of Ms. Magazine--yes, it still exists--is calling on readers to sign a petition: "I have had an abortion. I publicly join the millions of women in the United States who have had an abortion in demanding a repeal of laws that restrict women's reproductive freedom." Well, so much for the right to privacy. If Ms. readers hadn't had so many abortions, there might be more Ms. readers. As for the rest of us, here's a petition...

Ms. Magazine Presses, Pro-Lifers Wash   When Ms. Magazine was launched in 1972, it pressed for abortion-on-demand. Ms. got its wish shortly thereafter with the U.S. Supreme Court's infamous Roe v. Wade ruling. Forty-five million abortions later, Ms. is still not satisfied. They are now calling for abortion everywhere to be "safe, legal and accessible." Note the significant difference between accessible and rare. "Safe, legal and rare" was Bill and Hillary Clinton's mantra back in 1992. When Mrs. Clinton later put forth her nationalized health care scheme, it would have required the 89 percent of U.S. counties that do not...

Note: A FReeper who wishes to remain anonymous has asked me to post her story of her abortion and the grief and redemption that followed. She does not seek your sympathy, she merely has a desire to possibly help young women avoid the same mistake.In reading her story, one particular portion of Scripture came to mind: If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. If we say, "We have not sinned," we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 John 1: 9-10)Here...

Below is a little missive I ripped out just as soon as I heard about MS. Magazine’s attempts to recruit abortion supporters by asking them to supply their names and their stories. In a fit, an absolute fit of pique, I typed up my own abortion story. Then I saved it on the hard drive and pondered all week how to deal with my narrative of anger and angst. I don’t want to put it on my own Blog as frankly-MS. Magazine doesn’t realize this-I am certainly not at all proud of my story. Yet I wonder if the millions...

(CNSNews.com) - Ms. Magazine's latest pro-abortion message invites women and girls who have undergone the procedure to submit their names for inclusion in the magazine and sign an online petition stating that "I have had an abortion." The petition targets the recent South Dakota abortion ban, which has been stayed until voters in the state decide on the November ballot whether they want to overturn the ban. "Whatever happens in South Dakota, 17 states now have trigger laws or pre-Roe bans that will ban abortion if the Supreme Court were to reverse Roe v. Wade," Ms. Magazine warns. The South...

In a long running rejionder to Time Magazine's annunal person of the year, which has generally been a man, Ms. Magazine decided to honor women and women's groups in its current issue.'For all those who thought this was the post-feminist era-get over it!' said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation that funds Ms., at an awards banquet for the National Press Club.Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who last month became the first woman to head a party in Congress, got the Ms. Award for 'gaining the trust of her colleagues to become the most powerful women in...

Ms. magazine has always lost money, but the ax-grinding left-wingers behind it didn't seem to mind. Until now. The magazine never used to take ads - not that cosmetics companies were pounding on its door - but that's changing under the new ownership. A group that calls itself Feminist Majority Foundation, which took over Gloria Steinem's little publication in November, wants the thing to pay for itself, according to the April 1 issue of BusinessWeek. Will there be abortuary ads to look forward to? BusinessWeek says Ms. will deign to accept ads from other feminist organizations.
