Pro-Life Feminists Are Old-School
national review ^ | January 20, 2017 | Marjorie Dannenfelser

Posted on 01/23/2017 11:51:49 PM PST by Morgana

It’s the pro-choicers who are engaging in revisionist history.

Susan B. Anthony recently made a surprise appearance in a Saturday Night Live skit, shocking the admiring young women touring her Rochester, N.Y., home by blurting out, “Abortion is murder!”

Saturday Night Live tried to make a joke about this feminist icon’s pro-life views, but the joke is really on them: Susan B. Anthony, like many of our great feminist foremothers, really was against abortion. Early feminists opposed abortion because it took human life, because women were pressured by economics and by male partners to do something they didn’t want to do, and because they believed the vital right to control one’s own body could not include the right to destroy someone else’s. Susan B. Anthony campaigned, above all, for women’s right to equal economic and political opportunity. But the newspaper she owned and ran with Elizabeth Cady Stanton refused to carry ads for abortifacients, and published numerous articles from feminist leaders denouncing abortion as an evil. Anthony said in her famous, oft-repeated temperance speech, that “the newspaper reports every day of every year of scandals and outrages, of wife murders and paramour shooting, of abortions and infanticides, are perpetual reminders of men’s incapacity to cope successfully with this monster evil of society.”

Is true. She called abortionist “butchers with an MD by their name”.

She was more for contraception and for those “unfit” she wanted sterilization, even if this was forced.

Which is probably why Susan B Anthony wasn’t honored at the “feminist” match.

Susan B Anthony reminds everyone, that modern day femino-nazis are just confused drones, like a-sexual worker bees , whose only contribution to the hive is their labor, who are denied the right to contribute to the genome of their species.

They cannot even tell the difference between matters of life and matters of death. For then life is death, and death is life. Femino-nazis are so very mixed up, and we got to see millions of them protesting that their individual quiffs were to be substituted for divine providence.

When a vessel which is biologically designed to give life is in such a state of confusion about life or death, it needs to be treated as a form of mental illness.

The fact is that we do not require or even need their genetic contributions to the human genome. They have become lost to the future of humanity itself.America is tired of paying much attention to them. If they need money for their desired medical procedures , let them pay for them from private funds, or have mercy on the unborn whose only future is from their mothers’ wombs to be untimely ripped.

Thank you Susan B Anthony , a woman who knew about life and death, the difference of them.

If liberal women truly want honest brith control they should exercise self control and stop their activities that make babies, that way there is no reason for them to want an abortion.

Through out this women’s morch sharade the Bible verse 2nd Timothy3:6 keeps coming to my mind.

Because whenever the reporting digs just a little bit the march organisers and leaders turn out to be deceivers just like in that verse.

Margaret Sanger created Planned Butcherhood to kill babies - especially black babies.
