Megyn Kelly Takes on Former NOW President Over Attack on Little Sisters of the Poor(a home run)
Town Hall ^ | July 09, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 07/09/2014 11:07:38 AM PDT by sickoflibs

In case you missed it earlier this week, the National Organization for Women [NOW] put the Little Sisters of the Poor on their "Dirty 100" list. The list is a compilation of organizations and groups that have filed suit against the contraception mandate in Obamacare and claims the Little Sisters of the Poor is forcing their religion onto employees by objecting to the mandate on religious grounds.

The Catholic nuns of The Little Sisters of the Poor dedicate their lives to helping the sick and people who are dying. From their website:

Continuing the work of Saint Jeanne Jugan, our MISSION is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.

Our VISION is to contribute to the Culture of Life by nurturing communities where each person is valued, the solidarity of the human family and the wisdom of age are celebrated, and the compassionate love of Christ is shared with all.??

Our VALUES? REVERENCE for the sacredness of human life and for the uniqueness of ?each person, especially those who are poorest and/or weakest. This is ?reflected in care that is holistic and person-centered.

Last night on The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly took on former NOW President Patricia Ireland over their inclusion of the Little Sisters in their "Dirty 100" list. Ireland is the same woman who is clueless about the fact Hobby Lobby offers employees 16 different forms of contraception.

Here's a thought for Ms. Ireland, who argues the Little Sisters of the Poor should simply "opt-out." If women want contraception coverage, they have the option of opting out of jobs that do not provide what they are looking for.

The bottom line is NOW isn't interested in defending the rights of women, they're interested in defending big government policies. Last time I checked nuns were women too, but for some reason the National Organization for Women isn't interested in defending their right to freedom of religion, but is interested in defining women by the pills they take. It's a shame NOW supports the heavy hand of government forcing women to do things that are against their beliefs.

I think this was the best segment I have seen her do on her show.
I laughed through the whole segment as she creamed NOW's Ireland.
Even Megyn was laughing as Ireland was such an easy target to nail

Great segmant.

Its so funny when Ireland tries to tell Kelly that the SCOTUS was wrong in the Hobby Lobby case, Kelly replies :
But I bet you think their Roe vs Wage decision was valid. You love them when you like their decisions”

If NOW gave a crap about women, they’d be up in arms about the way Muslims treat their women, honor killings, female genital mutilation, and general sharia.

But they’re not. Why not? Are they afraid? That’s part of it... it’s prudent not to piss off people who have no compunctions about killing you. But, I don’t think it’s the whole story. A lot of radical feminism these days is stuck in the same old rut. It’s like yelling at Dad for stuff you should have gotten over 20 or 30 years ago.

NOW is all about murder of the most innocent among us. Their only crime is to have existed. Evil ghouls is what they are. disgusting evil ghouls.

I love that segment, still on my DVR.

Ireland was stupid for attempting such an argument on that show, she must of got lost and thought it was MSNBC’s Maddow show.

Maddow would have called the Sisters worse names than “dirty”.

What vile and evil creatures. They must think they’re never going to die.

Megyn babe kept asking Ireland if she thinks that Businesses/charities like Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters should be forced to pay for their employees abortions,
Ireland eventually replied ‘Yes they should but then they can sign that Obama form to tell their insurance company to pay for it’ (and still have to pay for them)

Talk about contrast. Are they even members of the same species?

I really believe that Ireland and her ilk will feel the pain of each baby that is aborted/murdered.

Like Hitler or Stalin who are still feeling the pain of those they inflicted pain upon.

Sounds like you been watching those early 60s black and white twilight zones, "Deaths-Head Revisited" ( episode The Twilight Zone.)

More like maybe she will end up in a nursing home where no one visits her and the aids just leave her in her filth in the bed till it kills her. Old age can turn into a concentration camp.

I do not think Megyn did that great of a job. She let Ireland talk right past the key question: why should the rest of us pay for a woman’s contraceptive decisions/choices?

Kelly asked, but didn’t press as Ireland talked over the question. She failed to press and follow-up.

Ireland 1 - Kelly 0 in my book.

they have the option of opting out of jobs that do not provide what they are looking for.

Or, here's a novel idea, they could just take their prescriptions to the local pharmacy and pay for them, themselves. Wow! What a concept.

“...They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard....”

That was an excellent episode. I remember it well.

And as for Patricia Ireland, and all those who advocate the murder of defenseless infants... Karma catches up, eventually.

Because we are not. I am not paying for it and my employer was long before Obamacare.
But Kelly did lecture Ireland on personal bad consequences on poor decisions regarding having sex and asked why the little sisters should be forced to pay for it.

Kelly-100 -lib guests on her show -0.

There is a difference between winning a fight and getting slaughtered.
Most of the GOP fools who plotted their way into this issue in 2012 got the snot beat out of them. They helped Reid pick up seats in Senate, as did that fat old windbag Rush.

Kelly annihilated Ireland.
