FULL TITLE: Gloria Steinem Backs Abortion Because: “Forced Childbirth is the Single Biggest Cause of Global Warming”
According to radical feminist Gloria Steinem, women will never be “fully equal” to men unless they have abortion rights. Oh, and the patriarchy’s to blame for climate change too.
In an interview with Refinery29 writer Lindsey Stanberry, Steinem shared thoughts on feminism, and unsurprisingly, everything came back to female reproductive rights.
When the writer commented that some considered climate change to be a feminist issue, Steinem avidly agreed, opining that forced childbirth was the cause of many of the earth’s problems.
“Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population,” the 83-year-old icon exclaimed. “If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have.”
In 2015, Steinem articulated the same perspective to Cosmo’s Prachi Gupta, declaring that the Pope and all “other patriarchal religions” were responsible for global warming, because of dictating women’s reproductive rights.
And on that front, when conversation moved to Ivanka Trump, Steinem affirmed the common liberal view that one cannot simultaneously be a feminist and pro-life.
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.
When Stanberry commented that the first daughter had “gotten a lot of criticism for trying to co-opt feminism,” Steinem bluntly responded: “Nobody on earth thinks she’s a feminist, are you kidding me?”
“So how would you define a feminist?” Stanberry asked in return.
And that’s where things got predictable. To be a feminist, one must tote the progressive party line: in other words, the idea that “full equality of the sexes” equates to being pro-choice.
“I have not seen her standing up and saying women should have a right to control their own bodies and decide when and whether to have children, no,” Steinem expounded, before also criticizing Trump’s maternity leave policy.
“I’m not saying that [Ivanka] knows this, but [the Nazis] were paying women to have children,” Steinem continued.
There’s idiocy. Then there’s monumental idiocy.
In other words, women’s standing in society is conditional .. whereas men’s is not.
Thanks Gloria.
He’s giving her a long time to wake up, that’s for sure.
Bunch of raised-fisted commies.
To Liberals, everything causes global warming.
Which is why if it didn’t exist they would have had to invent it.
Which is why they invented it.
It’s bizarre to me that MI-6 or the CIA, etc. lets Soros do all the things he does. He might as well be Blofeld.
Awesome!
You couldn’t get a troupe of comedy writers to come up with something so outrageous.
Men will never have equal legal rights until they have the legal right to protect their baby daughters and baby sons from being killed between conception and birth by the mother.
How is women’s standing conditional?
How is men’s standing not conditional?
People like Steinem insist that for women to be equal they have to be non-parents or be able to kill their children.
Men, in comparison, are the standard regardless of their parental or reproductive status. They can have procreated 0, 1, 3, 5, 25 children ... doesn’t matter. Their parental reproductive status makes no difference in them being the standard that women are supposed to be trying to be ‘equal’ to.
According to people like Steinem, the ONLY WAY women can be ‘equal’ to men is if they have the ability to interrupt their conception and not bear children ... or not be parents. Men don’t have to do this (in their eyes).
Men are treated as non-parents by default.
Does she think she should rightfully have been aborted, to make more room on the planet for others? Or, does she feel HER MESSAGE is so much more important than others that they should all be aborted to make room for HER? Ahhh, an anointed one.
Really wish people would ask these fools that question.
