…that all pro-abortion people should be asked:

If we accept the femisogynist line on abortion, then Jessica Valenti is missing a terrific opportunity to be a role model for young women. She can demonstrate that abortion is not just for slutty teenagers; it’s also for married folk. She can show that it doesn’t result in grief and trauma. She can make another blob of cells, identical and justa s valuable (or value-less) as the aborted blob. She can be a role model for all those young women who are uncertain about how abortion empowers women. Valenti made her wedding into a feminist statement; why not her pregnancy?

Good question. Judging from your comments they don’t have a good answer other than anger.

That’s because for the femisogynist, life begins based on their own desires. Talk about playing God.

Update: Check out her follow up post too.

Question: Why hasn’t planned parenthood bothered to get their office in Fitchburg Open yet?

The Sentinel & Enterprise is noting that while Planned Parenthood has managed to win the legal battles so far things are going kinda slow in Fitchburg:

Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts President Dianne Luby announced in January that Fitchburg would see a new clinic this spring, sparking opposition among pro-life advocates and community leaders who did not believe Planned Parenthood would benefit the downtown image.

More than five months later, the windows at 391 Main St., the space Planned Parenthood has leased, remain dark.

“We’re moving forward with plans in Fitchburg; it’s just that we don’t have a date, not even a tentative date, for opening,” said Elizabeth Rodgers, a media coordinator for Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts.

Ah the innocence of youth. Emily you have to understand that the location of this clinic has everything to do with the middle school. Until the middle school is back in business the target audience for the “clinic” isn’t available. Once the kids are back then Planned Parenthood will be able to do what it is in Fitchburg for, and believe me preventing teenage pregnancy isn’t it.

…in a well meaning post defending pro life women from this nonsense from Gloria Steinem. But her post that contains this whopper:

Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now.

This link contains the answer to this canard that is treated as history, but if you don’t want to bother here are a list of a few names that should be familiar if you know any history:

Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, Pearl S. Buck, Dorothy Day, Alice Stokes Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Wollstonecraft. If those names aren’t enough, feminists for life have plenty more.

It should be possible to defend pro-life feminism without re-writing history doing it, but that doesn’t get you a gig on CNN.

Some things are so nonsensical that they speak for themselves.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she believes she must pursue public policies “in keeping with the values” of Jesus Christ, “The Word made Flesh.”

The audacity of extremely pro-abortion Pelosi saying this with a straight face is only exceeded by the stupidity of anyone who believes it. And yes I said stupidity.

Gateway points to her perfect record on abortion. While Nordlinger points to a basic truth:

Whoa, baby. We can’t say that — no one right of center can say that; but they can. A curious fact about a strange place, America.

Amazing isn’t it?
