Your views and Patricia Ireland’s may not be that different… This week, as a movement, the Pro-Life community has been fiercely attacked by the mainstream media. Unfortunately, because of the few who came out in support of Dr. Tiller’s murder, the many of us have suffered by being called terrorists and extremists. All of us who believe in the dignity of life from conception to death understand that this was a ruthless killing of what Kansas law considers to be an innocent man. Therefore, I am not writing about whether or not we are terrorists; I don’t wish to dignify...

Tuesday, November 9, 2004 Homosexuality: What would Jesus do?Posted: November 9, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Joseph Farah © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Patricia Ireland, former president of the National Organization of Women, raised what probably sounded like a good question to some recently. She asked during a debate on the Fox News Channel: "If ... lesbian and gay rights issues were such a serious kind of value, a core value, why did Jesus never talk about them?" Of course, the answer is that homosexuals have no special rights that distinguish what they do and who they are. They have only the same rights...

Patricia Ireland just said that she grew up as a Christian in Indiana and asked that (paraphrase) "if there was a real problem with lesbians and gays, why didn't Jesus say anything about it?"

<p>Remember after Sept. 11 when President Bush said he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive"? Some Americans faulted the president for not being, as we say in 2004, more nuanced. To take an example from our archives, left-wing feminist Patricia Ireland complained in October 2001 that since Sept. 11 there had been too much "guy talk" from "rich, white, able-bodied and apparently straight men." She elaborated: "Guy talk is 'Osama bin Laden, wanted dead or alive.' Guy talk may be speaking in black and white of good and evil."</p>

CHICAGO (CBS 2) Audra Soulias, 28, filed a civil suit against William Kennedy Smith on Tuesday, five years after she says he forced her into his home, and sexually assaulted her. Audra Soulias isn't the only woman who's making allegations against Smith. The 2 Investigators have obtained confidential information involving sexual harassment allegations by a number of women who worked for Smith and traveled with him to foreign countries. "I think he is a person who has a lot of problems. He is obviously very sick," said Soulias. Audra Soulias is talking about her former boss William Kennedy Smith. She...

WOMEN'S GROUPS SEEK ENTRY TO PRESIDENT'S INNER CIRCLE; GORELICK CONSIDERED FOR CIA December 3, 1996 President Clinton faces a choice as he returns this week to the business of staffing his administration for a second term: He will either make history by appointing a woman to one of the top spots on his national security team, or risk sorely disappointing many of the very voters who provided his margin of victory in last month's election. This ambivalence is playing itself out in the drama over whether Clinton will name U.N. Ambassador Madeleine K. Albright to be the first female secretary...

It's time to do justice to the memory of Dr King and all of the other courageous activists who continue to work for positive change in our society. Just as we recognized the injustice of celebrating the memory of only two presidents, Washington and Lincoln, and established "Presidents Day" (so that we could honor Jackson, Kennedy, Nixon and Clinton as well), it is now time to honor all activists, and hereby declare the second Monday in January, "Activists Day". Activists Day could celebrate, in addition to Dr. King, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, Jane Fonda, Rachel Corrie (the bulldozer girl),...

I'd like to show you guys something that I came across on the National Organization for Women (NOW) website. The title of the discussion is: NOW Reframing Abortion Rights Briefing on "Breaking the Abortion Deadlock, From Choice to Consent" Here are a few excerpts from the discussion. I'll place a link to the full article at the end. Eileen McDonagh: Most likely, there is no constitutional right to abortion funding, even if you are suffering from a medically abnormal pregnancy that threatens to kill you. Currently, Congress and states do provide legislative funding for abortions when a women's life is...

WASHINGTON (AP)--Patricia Ireland, a prominent women's rights advocate, has been dismissed after six months as chief executive of the YWCA of the U.S.A. Dorris Daniel-Parkes has been named interim director by the National Coordinating Board of the YWCA, the organization said. ``We have the deepest admiration for Ms. Ireland's dedication to women's issues and social justice, but the YWCA has proved to be the wrong platform for her to advocate for these issues,'' board chairwoman Audrey Peeples said in a press release. A spokesman for the YWCA did not immediately return a phone call Monday night about the dismissal Thursday,...

Feminist leader Patricia Ireland was removed as CEO of the YWCA on Thursday. This decision by the YWCA National Coordinating Board (NCB) comes after months of pressure by right-wing groups such as the Traditional Values Coalition. The so-called Traditional Values Coalition went so far as to write Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, asking him to review $114 million in federal grants to YWCA organizations. The group also urged its members to ask their legislators to restrict funding to the organization, which, through its 302 local YWCAs, provides child care, domestic violence services, employment training, and other programs...

WASHINGTON — It was Patricia Ireland's first day on the job as chief executive of the YWCA, but officials around the country were already receiving complaints about her leadership. The venerable women's organization announced April 30 that it had chosen Ireland, 57, the former longtime president of the National Organization for Women (NOW), as part of an effort to "brand" the YWCA as a high-profile advocacy organization on issues of gender and race. Ever since, her appointment has been branded a sacrilege by Christian conservative activists. "If they wanted a lightning rod, they got it," said Andrea Lafferty, director of...

Dear Conservative Friend: The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) has made the horrible choice of Patricia Ireland as the next head of this girl's organization. A better leader must be chosen -- or the "C" may as well be changed from Christian to stand for "cross dressing." Please go to Conservative- Petitions.com and read what is at stake. Here's the address: http://www.conservativepetitions.com/petitions/php?id=191 Ireland is likely to finalize the YWCA's evolution into a radical feminist and pro-homosexual organization that will promote abortion on demand, cross-dressing, lesbianism and other sexually deviant behaviors. She is the former leader of the National Organization for...

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." – II Timothy 3:3 (KJV) Some people were shocked by the recent news that a philandering bisexual, radical feminist, abortion crusader was selected as the new president of the Young Women's...

(CNSNews.com) - Patricia Ireland, the woman who presided over the National Organization for Women (NOW) for a decade and whose "major contributions included organizing NOW activists to defend women's access to abortion," has been chosen as the new chief executive officer of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). The appointment, confirmed by CNSNews.com, immediately drew criticism from cultural conservatives. Andrea Lafferty, executive director of the Traditional Values Coalition, called the Ireland appointment "disgusting," pointing to reports that Ireland had carried on a homosexual relationship in Washington, D.C., while remaining married to her husband, who was living in Florida. "Here's a...
