One article on feministing.com was entitled, 'I'm rooting for an abortion this Friday night'. Does that seem odd to you for those who purport to defend choice? It's the reason I choose to call those who are pro-abortion 'anti-life' instead of the more PC 'pro-choice'. I've yet to see a self-proclaimed 'pro-choicer' celebrate when a women chooses not to abort a child. It's only when an unplanned pregnancy ends in abortion that feminist's start celebrating it and call it "pro-female", as a subsequent feministing.com article praised the 'Friday Night Lights' episode for being.

Apparently, getting pregnant and choosing to have the baby is anti-female and anti-choice. The only choice that is acceptable and brave by feminist standards is the one that ends in choosing to kill your unborn child. Making the truly laudable decisions, such as altering your life for the life of another and taking responsibility for your actions, is deemed unworthy of commendation. Wholly unsurprising, I suppose, for a movement that promotes selfishness and a lack of accountability in women.
In the Washington Post, Gloria Feldt, former president of Planned Parenthood, similarly praises this episode of 'Friday Night Lights'. Ms. Feldt, in her promotion of abortion, proclaims,
Even before Roe v. Wade legalized it in 1973, abortion was common. Most everyone knew of someone who had died from a back-alley abortion, or a child who had been orphaned by one. The abortion rights movement was, as a result, intimately connected to the larger women's rights movement.

Really? I was born shortly after Roe v. Wade, but, for the sake of understanding, I've asked my mom, grandmas, aunts....not one of them ever knew anyone, or even knew someone who knew someone, who had died in a back-alley abortion. They knew that such a thing occasionally happened, but it was far from the common occurrence Ms. Feldt would like her readers to believe it to have been. Women were not dying in droves in American back-alleys pre-1973. The vast, vast majority of women who became pregnant did what women have been doing since humans first walked the Earth...they had babies.
1972 was the last full year before Roe vs. Wade. For that year, the federal Centers for Disease Control reported that 39 women died due to illegal abortion. Now, I'm not one to make little of the deaths of 39 women, but it's an exchange I'd be willing to make for the MILLION or so babies that are aborted annually in the U.S. And, please, spare me the poor women who are victims of rape and incest angle...don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone who is a victim of rape or incest should be forced to bear the child, but a 2000 study in the U.S. showed the percentage of pregnancies aborted because of incest or rape as a whopping 1%. Yep, you read that correctly, 1%. The top three reasons a woman has an abortion?
25.5% Want to postpone childbearing
21.3% Cannot afford a baby
14.1% Has relationship problem or partner does not want pregnancy
Abortions due to risk to maternal health? 2.8%
Overwhelmingly, the reasons women choose to abort their children have nothing to do with life threatening conditions, rape or incest. Of course, our abortion applauding feminists are fully aware of and quite comfortable with this fact.
Make no mistake, feminists consider each every baby aborted a victory for 'the cause'.

Here we find the words and consideration of a strong, confident woman who is determined to speak out against the false and the mendacious.
As a mere man I grieve at the wholesale Slaughter of the Innocents that stains our so called civil world.
I grieve for the stained hearts of so many women who can laud such murder and even find the most frivolous excuses for one another.
King Herod wasw a pussy-cat compared to the average Feminist. He barely made a millionth of the dent in the population that out 'compassionate' feminised society has achieved.
And yet, are we really feminised? We have a noble description stolen and beaten to a pulp by a small segment of our female and male anti-life dominated media that allows destruction to have voice and protest to be drowned out.
More power to your words, Kim. You are our sister.
Kim,
Even if Roe were overturned (I don't see that happening, but play along with me), it wouldn't change the abortion situation that much. Why? Because overturning Roe would merely place the question of abortion with the states; it would be up to the states themselves to decide whether or not they wanted it. That said, there would be states that retain abortion, while others would not. IOW, legal abortion would still be available, a fact that both conservatives and liberals overlook.

Feminism is a modern day death cult, it proports to celebrate women's lives but always at the expense of men and children.
Feminism celebrates the unrestrained ego of those women who feel they are entitled to do anything they want, to whomever they want, without regard to the consequences.
The frightening thing is that these "wolves" are actively trying to export this poisonous philosophy to every other nation on the planet. Whether through covert economic intimidation or through outright military force.
Modern feminism is an evil cult which celebrates the opposite of what women represented all throughout history(home and family), they now represent a population who's appetites and excesses even outdoes that of the ancient Roman emperors like Caligula.
Western society is in an unrecoverable decline, it's decadence and insanity is beginning to be openly displayed for all the world to see, what Roman emperor would've celebrated the murder of a child so openly?
Women's rights will be repealed in the rest of the world once the West collapses, these countries don't want to drink the kool-aid we've been downing for the past 40 years. Feminism will die a painful death with our economic and social collapse.
What I find sadly ironic is that we have feminists here championing the "right" to kill one's unborn child when the very same means is used to kill unwanted girls in China. After all, aren't we doing the same thing here at home, deciding we don't want children for CONVENIENCE? I see that as no different than those who think having a girl "shames" the family.
Talk about hypocrisy!
In the end, that's what it comes down to, I think: the child under such circumstances is looked at as a burden or a shame, not as a child and a unique human being with a soul.
If someone wants control, then they need to either control who they sleep with, use birth control before the fact (and if they do the latter, they should have to accept the risk that those methods will not be 100% perfect), or have themselves sterilized in some fashion if they REALLY do not want children. But once the child is conceived, to my mind that is a fait accompli and it is murder.
And I may be crazy, but I think that the voices of single fathers, or those who chose to stay together with their children--could be very important here. That message that they treasured their children's lives would make a difference as well as hearing the mothers who chose to keep their children would be very important too. But our media never asks the men...it's as though there's a false assumption that they can't truly love a child, that the only real bond happens between mother and child. That CAN'T be! Even science has demonstrated clear, measurable changes that happen in men when their spouses are pregnant, changes that prepare him for fatherhood. Yet we downplay and spit on that...sad, very sad.
Sorry about the rant, but I never have bought the bullhockey that men shouldn't have a say, shouldn't be involved in the abortion decision, shouldn't be listened to. "It's MY body," women might say. Yeah? Well, that's HIS DNA in there, not just yours, lady! And I darned well think that deserves a say, and a loud one at that.

I feel for all those children never given a shot at life, I do.
But let's be honest here Kim, if they had women like that for mothers how would their lives have ended up?
This was good. Thanks for telling it like it is.
I think I'll steal your phrase, "anti-life." It is certainly more apropriate.
As one who studies the rise and fall of civilizations, one of the first signs of decline is continual foreign wars, influx of foreigners (diversity of the culture) and abortions. Rome was famous for abortions for selfish reasons. Now, we see all of this in America. We lost our country faster than Rome or Egypt or Sumeria.
"Most everyone knew of someone who had died from a back-alley abortion, or a child who had been orphaned by one."
The real tragedy is, that so many people will hear that statement, and suck it up like a sponge, and never give it a second thought.
Feminists LIE so consistently and persistently that we are right to take nearly everything they say with a grain of salt.
