'Slut Shame' Indeed
Townhall.com ^ | January 24, 2016 | Matt Barber

Posted on 01/24/2016 9:27:16 AM PST by Kaslin

Abortion and promiscuity. Planned Parenthood and "slut shaming." I was reminded on this, the 43rd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's disgraceful Roe v. Wade abortion-on-demand opinion, how inexorably linked are America's abortion death culture and her ongoing sexual revolution.

As the story goes, Winston Churchill was talking with a socialite: "Madam, would you sleep with me for 5 million pounds?" he asked. "My goodness, Mr. Churchill," she replied. "Well, I suppose we would have to discuss terms, of course." Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for 5 pounds?" Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!" Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price."

Today's "progressives" would accuse Churchill of "slut shaming." That's a relatively new euphemism wherein liberals paradoxically try to shame into silence those who call a spade a spade.

While she would certainly frame the demonstrable connection between abortion and promiscuity in different terms, feminist author and psychologist Valerie Tarico is well aware of the correlation. She boasts of it, in fact. In an October opinion piece at the Huffington Post, Tarico, who also served on Planned Parenthood's Board of Advocates, writes, "The most lasting effect of the smear campaign against Planned Parenthood may be this: Young women are done - beyond done - with being shamed for the fact that they are sexual beings, with sexual bodies that have t*ts and as*es and tw*ts and vaginas and uteruses … and they are done being forced to have babies when they choose to have sex."

Pure class.

The "smear campaign" to which Tarico refers ostensibly denotes the groundbreaking investigative journalism of The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), which exposed smoking-gun proof that Planned Parenthood intentionally and illegally profits, in the millions, by "crushing," dismembering alive and otherwise torturing to death our most innocent fellow human beings, and then selling their body parts for Mengelesque "medical research."

"I remember sitting in my psychotherapy office a few years back, listening to a mother complain about her teen daughter's attire"” Tarico continues. "'She looks like a prostitute,' the mother said.

"'Yes,' I agreed. 'Like a prostitute - or a teenager.'"

Tarico and many pro-abort feminists like her encourage young women to look like prostitutes, or "sluts." These days "slut walks,"wherein scantily clad, topless or fully nude gals march together in courageous, slutty unity, are all the rage - and Planned Parenthood has a revolving door through which they stream. It goes "ka-ching!" with every spin. Indeed, the abortion/STD giant manipulates young girls into "values neutral," "consequence free sex" - something that does not exist - and then, when they get knocked up, takes their money, slaughters their babies and coldly sends them on their way.

Mix and repeat.

In an article on her own website titled, "Thirty Signs You're a Slut," Tarico brags of inspiring her own middle school-aged daughter into "sluthood" (the URL ends with "proud-mom-of-two-teenage-sluts"). "These days, it's getting rather hard to hold your head high as a female if you aren't willing to be seen as part of the slut sisterhood," she opines.

That's right. In the upside-down world of secular-leftism, sexual promiscuity is a badge of honor - and abortion, a rite of passage - for the upwardly mobile babe. Tarico hammers this home with a score-based inventory of benchmarks needed to "hold your head high as a female." Among them:

Only a dying culture lionizes women who publicly impugn - with pride - their own honor and virtue, and brag about killing their own flesh and blood. Yet, to the left, Valerie Tarico represents "progress." She's a hero - a bold voice for "women's rights."

This is by design. Secular-progressives have worked hard to deconstruct traditional sexual morality for generations. The goal is to impose - under penalty of law - their own moral relativist, sexual anarchist worldview. (Hence, the unconstitutional Obamacare mandate requiring that Christian groups cast aside millennia-old church doctrine, get with the postmodern program and capitulate to funding abortion homicide.)

Indeed, like other feminist radicals, Tarico demands that the rest of us underwrite her stated immoral practices by paying for her and other women's birth control and child sacrifice. Fornication and abortion, of course, are considered "mortal sins" in Christianity. Catholic doctrine further bars the Church from providing contraception, but to anti-Christian liberals like Tarico, religious liberty and freedom of conscience are things of the past, and the First Amendment represents an obstacle to their dystopian future.

Seriously. Can someone please explain to me how and why a woman's "right" to be promiscuous and snuff-out her resulting offspring is my financial responsibility? If you refuse to buy your own "preventative medicine," gals, why not hit up the fellas? Last I heard it takes two to do the fornication Fandango. It seems to me that public groveling for free contraception, abortifacients and surgical abortion reinforces the sexist stereotype that women can't survive without welfare - without men. Women's empowerment? More like patriarchal governmental dependency.

In another column last week on the "social stigma" surrounding abortion and female promiscuity, Tarico writes, "If the wall of shame and stigma ruptures, abortion foes may find themselves up against something even more powerful: Love."

Yep, nothing says "I love you" like ripping your baby limb-from-limb.

"Slut shame" indeed.

Liberals love taking a real thing and using it as a weapon of mass destruction. They are also awful, awful hypocrites.

“Slut shaming” is, in fact, a real thing. It happens when society uses a woman’s gender and sexuality as a generalized weapon against them. What Trump and his supporters have tried to do to Megyn Kelly is a textbook example; liberals are quick to forget, however, that they have done the exact same thing to countless female conservatives, from Sarah and Bristol Palin to Nikki Haley, Ann Coulter, and ironically enough, Megyn Kelly (along with Gretchen Carlson, Elizabeth Hasslebeck, and the rest of the women at Fox News - seriously, check out DU or the Kos kids sometime).

Liberals could learn a lesson about logs in the eye.

One has to have a sense of shame in order to experience it.

“Only a dying culture lionizes women who publicly impugn - with pride - their own honor and virtue, and brag about killing their own flesh and blood.”

They are quickly being replaced by women who breed. I see many Anglos with Latinas, but rarely the other way around; aging childless white women resent that they are buying Halloween costumes for pets while their imported counterparts are breeding the future.

It ssems interesting to note, that “The Great Society”, signed into law by the ‘keeping-them-on-the-plantation’ Democrat President Lyndon Baines Johnson, preceded the SCOTUS decision of Roe v. Wade by less or near to a mere 10 years.

Thus, the allowance of the ‘slut lifestyle seed’ was thus planted.

First, the allowance of monetary recompension for those who, in their sluttiness, found themselves a means to support their, ahem, outcome of their chosen lifestyle, through “The Great Society” programs.

Then, for those that wished to lie further in their, ahem, lifestyle, but NOT bring forth their ‘outcome of their chosen lifestyle’, came along Roe v. Wade.

Therefore, by laws enacted in both Congress and SCOTUS, the ‘slut lifestyle’ has been foisted upon the rest of America, by the few.

Therefore, Congress and SCOTUS both, in those actions, have set precedences that continue to today. It is THEY who have begun the erosion of America the Great, and the populace?

BOHICA!

When I see women being raped and groped by "rape-fugees" I used to ask "where are European men"? Then I see stories like this and I understand.

Women don't want to be protected, they want to control their own lives. They can't accept that their world has changed, and that evil people will take advantage.

Force trumps "rights"

It sad that Winston Churchill made his father’s sexual behavior look almost laudable.

"The most lasting effect of the smear campaign against Planned Parenthood may be this: Young women are done -- beyond done--- with being shamed for the fact that they are sexual beings, with sexual bodies that have t*ts and as*es and tw*ts and vaginas and uteruses..."

I guess she's making the assumption that having female anatomical primary and secondary sexual characteristics, makes you a "woman" --- conforming to the gender binary! How sexist! This is a micro-aggression because it excludes pre-op or nonsurgical trans-women who have none of these organs or systems, and also excludes non-surgical trans-men who DO have these organs and systems but are not women!

Uh....

On the other hand, she seems to think that having identifying sexual characteristics is what gives you human dignity.

But female fetuses have all these organs and systems -- at the appropriate stage of development --- so why don't they possess human dignity, too? Aren't they sexual beings? Don't they have little bitty vaginas? --- and are they not thus entitled to simply go on living?

I guess it wouldn't convince them unless--- unless --- we could show that fetuses can be lesbians.

Never heard of this Valerie Tarico, but I can see that she is one evil female — I refuse to call her a “woman”. How many young patients has she destroyed with her evil code of behavior. I would not be surprised to learn that she has had sexual contact with them — and is proud of it.

Those poor daughters of hers are ruined for life, too. She will burn in hell

Don’t be surprised. I worked with some women who thought it was morally indefensible to eat a hamburger, but they would have an abortion any day.
