       The recently released results of an Election Day poll indicate there is a growing pro-life consensus among voters, according to Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, president and chief executive officer of the Polling Co.        While the conventional wisdom among the political elite is that the majority of women demand wide availability of abortion, the data from 803 voters leaving the polls last November indicated that a plurality of the electorate (48 percent) and a little more than half of female voters (51 percent) favored a range of pro-life positions.        “A pro-life candidate, except perhaps for some of the coastal and New England states ...

In the battle we are currently waging against the immoral and illogical Politically Correct (oxymoron) Lifestyle that is degrading our society, here are a few new definitions to help us win this ugly war. Please add to the list with your own definitions. Warning: if one of these definitions fit you, then you are slipping to the PC (other) side… Abortophibic: Irrational, uncontrollable fear of the premeditated murder of innocent children out of convenience of the mother. Americophibic: Irrational, uncontrollable fear of the American way of life and all it stands for. Choicophobic: Irrational, uncontrollable fear of possibly loosing the ...

"Feminists don't like me and I don't like them...I don't know why feminists have it out for me, but that's their problem, not mine." – Mel Gibson (star of Braveheart, The Patriot, Lethal Weapon; 100% pro-life) "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." – Mother Teresa "I am dedicated to spending the rest of my life undoing the law that bears my name. I would like nothing more than to have this law overturned." – Norma L. McCorvey ("Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade) "Thou shalt not kill" ...

Divorce, child care and pensions have grown as radicals urged women to flee the family 'monster', writes Barry Maley. For some radical feminists, males are patriarchal oppressors and the family is their torture chamber. So they impose a taboo on men talking about the effects of feminism upon family life and the rearing of children. Yet these feminists have dismissed the preferences of a great many women, gloried in the expulsion of men from the family, and made life harder for many children. But first, an important distinction. There are two kinds of feminism: "liberal" or equal opportunity feminism, and ...

Ann Coulter April 18, 2000 Women are complaining again, this just in from Lifetime Television ("Television for Women"!), which commissioned a poll of women voters recently. According to the summary provided by the Lifetime Television Web page, the top concerns of half or more of the respondents were: the "insufficient effort to cure breast cancer," gun control, medical benefits, child care, the rising cost of a college education, the connection between pollution and health risks, violence against women, and equal pay. Nearly three-fourths believe it is more important for the government to shore up the Social Security Ponzi scheme than ...

Imagine that a feminist heroine like Carol Gilligan or Catherine MacKinnon had been silenced by federal officials at a government-sponsored conference, simply for airing her feminist views. Then imagine MacKinnon or Gilligan being put upon by a group of paid government consultants and told by a man to "shut the f*ck up, bitch" while the rest of the crowd laughed at her derisively. Now imagine our feminist heroine, having been publicly silenced and insulted, finally leaving the conference, while the federal officials running the show did nothing to challenge or chastise the man who had hurled the insult. Of ...

Feminist fury The Washington Times www.washtimes.com Feminist fury House Editorial Published 6/1/01      When the Independent Women´s Forum bought advertising space in the UCLA Daily Bruin this spring to list and rebut 10 of "the most common feminist myths" (see www.iwf.org), it was not the IWF and its arguments that provoked feminist ire on the sprawling West Los Angeles campus. That is, there were no calls to debate the refreshingly anti-establishment women´s organization. Nor was there a flurry of written rebuttals to the IWF ad (the paper carried approximately two dissenting letters), meetings or discussion groups. Instead, campus feminists, represented ...

Feminists have harped and harpied on about the position of women in modern societies. But what about the men? The radical changes in sexual mores, patterns of employment, and domestic life have turned their lives upside down. Men now encounter women not as "the weaker sex" but as equal competitors in the public sphere—the sphere where men used to be in charge. And in the private sphere, where an ancient division of labor once gave guidance to those who crossed its threshold, there is no knowing what strategy will be most effective. Manly gestures—holding open a door for a ...

It's all about a little baby whose life was saved even before he was born. The pre-born child's mother was very young – and single. She was a pregnant teenager. Of course, we know now that the conception was Divine. But very early in her pregnancy, only Mary knew the baby was of God. Joseph, her fiancé, at first thought she had become pregnant by another man. Joseph must have been devastated. I'm sure he was both furious and heart-broken at the evident betrayal by the woman he loved. He probably also felt like killing her, which would have been ...

MILFORD, Mich -- I have a daughter and three sons. If there is better duty than being the dad, I have never found it. But on one subject -- the nature of sex and its possible outcomes -- the counsel I'm required to give my sons, if given to my daughter, sounds unfashionably bombastic, politically suspect if not "incorrect," vaguely patriarchal. Oughtn't parenting be gender-neutral? I'm in favor of life, in favor of choice. Life is not easy. Neither is choice. My daughter and sons are biologically equipped for reproduction. Here are their choices as I see them. Each can ...

The belief that boys are being wrongly "masculinized" is inspiring a movement to "construct boyhood" in ways that will render boys less competitive, more emotionally expressive, more nurturing — more, in short, like girls. Gloria Steinem summarizes the views of many in the boys-should-be-changed camp when she says, "We need to raise boys like we raise girls." This novel agenda is no utopian fantasy. Indeed, as I will show, the movement to overhaul boys is already well under way. And like many other well-intentioned but ill-conceived reforms, this one has enormous potential to make a lot of people — in ...

The List of Legal & Social Sanctions Against Men For those who don't remember the 1960s, "male chauvinism" was a phrase coined by feminists (and many well-meaning men who worked with women in leftist political groups). They protested that male attitudes, language and strategies toward women grew out of a sense of male superiority. . . . . In the '90s, we've entered a phase of "female chauvinism." You see --and hear -- female chauvinists everywhere -- in movies, novels, on television and worst of all, in real life. Such meanness does not go undetected by men. The word "misandry" ...

On Saturday evening, November 8, 2003, the eve of Kristallnacht, I addressed a woman's "networking" conference of mainly African-American and Hispanic-American womanists and feminists at Barnard College. The conference was described as a grassroots, multi-cultural, multi-generational and multi-disciplinary organization for women in the arts. Indeed, the women seemed to range in age from 20-65 and were dressed in corporate business suits, ever-colorful African/ethnic attire, youthful jeans. Booths were arranged in a semi-circle--it was as if the panels and performances were taking place in an African marketplace. Scented candles, beaded drums, sleek handbags, photographs, Citi-banking for women consultants, African skirts, all...
