Quote of the Day 8-25-10
Access to safe, legal abortions is a precondition for equality and liberation of women.
Women’s rights and workers’ rights are under attack as the depression drags on. We need to build a movement that will organize the power of the working class to defend the rights and the living standards of all workers.
Defending a woman’s right to choose means she can control what she will do with her life, including whether or when to have children.
~ Rebecca Williamson, the Socialist Workers Party candidate for IA U.S. Representative, as quoted by Iowa Politics.com, August 25

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Quite frankly, my dear, you are an idiot.
Sounds to me like these feministas want to be free from being female.
An angry daughter of Eve shakes her fist at GOD and demands to know, “Why has thou made me thus?!?!”
They do not want to be male and they are not comfortable with being female.
In this brave new world the leopard CAN change her spots, but she cannot change her chromosomes.
You go girls.
It is a very good thing she put her twisted thoughts out there!! :)
Now Iowans know who not to vote for!
Now I bet if you were to ask this earnest lady if she thinks we have come a long way since the 50s; if women now have the opportunity to go to school, or work, or even both, while parenting; she would say yes. The follow-up question is, then why the NEED for abortion?
She would be forced to admit it is a preference, not a necessity, 99%of the time.
As a young mother of five, I know the resources out there, and to say that a woman must chose between being a mother and her “dreams” is out of touch AND SEXIST. It is tougher, but don’t we have backbones, people?
For the circumstance where a woman simply does not want to be a mom, or has health conditions, etc.; there are still loads of options – contraceptives, abstinence, or if it’s simply “too late”, adoption. I know oodles of healthy happy adoptive families and birth moms, including those with special needs kids.
Generally speaking, planning one’s goals is healthy and necessary to a happy life but “It is a pity that a child must die so that you may live as you please” (paraphrase Mother Theresa).
Very, very well put, Anna. My thoughts EXACTLY.
This idea that abortion is the linchpin to women’s liberty is dangerous and completely wrong. My freedom doesn’t hinge on my ability to kill my child. That’s not liberty.
Send the socialist to China and let her see what a paradise that is for pregnant mothers.
“Access to safe, legal abortions is a precondition for equality and liberation of women.”
If that is so, then she is saying women are by nature inherently unequal if we can’t be equal and be natural.

This. This times ELEVEN MILLION. How can equality be achieved through destruction?
If abortion liberates women, it certainly liberates men. No cares, no worries; mutual respect is not a requirement for intimacy.
Kind of feel sorry for her – lost as she is in that delusion.
She might want to learn more about human development.
Depression? What depression? Unless she means those women who are actually depressed and the ones who are depressed over their abortions.
And honestly, women have more “control” over their bodies than they need or should have. There’s also the right to not have sexual intercourse (unfortunately, in the cases of rape, that right IS depressed and ripped to shreds).
The thing I’m trying to do is to let go of my control and let God take over. So honestly, giving me more “control” wouldn’t help me in the least (especially since I’m not interested in using artificial birth control or having abortions).

Yes, hippie, that’s entirely the case. Women like her aren’t interested in what is natural and truly feminine. They want to redefine feminity to suit their own purposes. My response? To quote Ebneezer Scrooge: “Bah humbug!”
