Sorry, Steinem Stepford Feminists, But Pro-Life is Pro-Woman

I generally ignore the irrelevant bint known as Miss Gloria Steinem, but Katie Couric interviewed her on Tuesday and thrust her back into the mock-worthy spotlight. Plus, I’m sick fed up with her and “feminists” like her. The emergence of conservative women to the forefront recently has made them particularly unbearable, as they strive to, in every repugnant way possible, diminish said women. This is just the latest from one of them, Miss Gloria Steinem, who unfortunately resurfaced from whatever Birkenstock-clad, soy latte drinking ivory tower she was hiding in:

Firstly, good grief, Katie Couric. What an inane question: “Can you be a conservative feminist?” As if conservatives women are some odd, only woman-like creatures. Miss Steinem’s response? You can’t be a feminist if you oppose legal abortion. Can’t be one. That’s crimethink! She caps it off with the utterly ridiculous statement that one in three women need an abortion. Now, it’s not the nebulous “choice,” it’s an actual need? Because it never really was about choice, was it? They strove to make abortion the default option.

Well, guess what, Stepford Steinem Feminists? We don’t care if you don’t consider us a part of your cultish club. You see, we have minds of our own. And, unlike you, we respect women and don’t think that they are too stupid to handle life on their own, nor do we think that women are perpetual victims who must be saved from things like “inconvenient” motherhood. We are also tired of your bastardizing the term feminist beyond any recognizable meaning. You are antithetical to feminism and can no longer claim that term as your own. We are taking it back. Not to use, as it’s unnecessary; we know that we have equality already.

N.O.W. lost ANY (remaining) credibility it had in 1992 when they essentially ignored credible accounts of RAPE and SEXUAL HARRASSMENT by Bill Clinton because “his politics are correct on abortion”

Is it still true that you can get away with RAPE if you are a democrat who believes in killing unborn babies?

Great editorial! I am so sick of the aging feminist.

It is not only pro-woman, it is pro-man, pro-child and pro-God.

Yep, and Hillary is their queen - literally. Liberal feminists are the most lock-stepped punishers of any shred of disloyalty, disobedience or disagreement in their ranks than any other group in history. Their motto is simple - obedience or death.

And absolutely nothing they do has anything whatsoever to do with "freeing" women - rather, the militant political enslavement of women has ever been their only goal.

So for the trivial cost of some prozac, some lattes, and the right wardrobe, these women are given the privilege of freedom from all personal responsibility, and indulgence in the foulest sadism, with complete group protection.

Literally millions of women find this to be the sweetest deal they ever came across, especially since it keeps them so involved that they hardly notice anymore that they've lost their souls.

All you need to know about feminism is that Gloria Steinem is revered as a heroine, and a true American hero like Phyllis Schlafly is treated as a pariah.

By Gloria Steinem's reckoning, the early Feminists, who fought for basic human rights for women, were not really feminists after-all. Susan B Anthony, Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton - just to name a few, were all pro-life.

What, nobody has a picture of Steinem in her Playboy Bunny costume?
