Pro-life vid of day: Cosmo doesn’t speak for these women
by Hans Johnson
While some news magazines are known for making endorsements, it’s quite unusual for a more specialized medium to do so. One wouldn’t expect Popular Mechanics or Cat Fancy to get into the political fray. But Cosmopolitan has recently launched #CosmoVotes to do just that for the midterm elections. They will push for candidates who support a strictly leftist slant on”women’s issues” such as unfettered access to abortion and birth control.
When Townhall editor and commentator Guy Benson wondered if Cosmo’s editors were serving their readers, NARAL used this as an example of sexism for a fundraising email.
But does Benson have a point? After all, isn’t a cosmopolitan one who is “free from local, provincial, or national ideas, prejudices, or attachments; at home all over the world?” Would excluding half the readers meet that definition? Here was the discussion on Fox News’ Outnumbered:

Cosmopolitan is the best-selling monthly magazine in America. Their ideology and their business both depend on advancing a culture of libertine sexuality.
They fear a culture of self-controlled adults and happy marriages.
They align themselves with the Democrats who are ruling by the ancient policy of “bread and circus.” They seek a culture that is content with welfare sustenance and distracted by sexual license. Self-reliant, self-sufficient families are much more difficult to rule.
So they are a natural team. (In my opinion, Cosmo is getting played.)
Cosmo libertines and elitist Democrats both fear a Culture of Life — families who rule ourselves and who elect politicians who conserve the cultural environment in which we can rule ourselves. A grassroots movement like the TEA Party is their worst enemy.

Cosmo teaches lawlessness and license. Human history has gone well past Cosmo’s world view.
The Jews lived under the law to prove that we humans need more than law to experience abundant life. Life is more than the world that we can see, which is the world in which Cosmo readers reside; it includes the unseen world, as well.
Thus, the most “Cosmopolitan” culture that has ever existed on planet earth is the culture that has conquered hearts in every area of this wide world we all live in. Those who live in this realm are neither male nor female, neither Jew nor Greek. Your size, your station in life, the hue of one’s skin pose no barriers to this Culture of Life and Love. The Love that has conquered the world, this Cosmos-Maker, has come to give us life, and that more abundantly.

I am just wondering if an endorsement by Cosmopolitan will actually be sought after by politicians. I mean its not like the New York Times or the Washington Post.

I used to snap up a Cosmo mag as a younger girl when they had the beautiful models on the covers. It was a fun way to copy their make up and I liked the clothing. I was in my 20s. Now they put actresses on the cover and I havent bought one since I was 28 or so. The articles used to be okay at best to read. Its just not the same.

Oops top post should have said early 20s and teens. I remember when Gia Carangie was on the cover. What a sad ending she met. Ive also just read some comments Helen G. Brown died. She made some very odd comments. I dont buy mags anymore. The mags that target women are usually all about sex anyway. They are a drag…especially when the cover girl is some pro choice actress. And it generally is. I will pass.

Now the only 2 on mags these days send me running. Its Kim Kardashian and family or Jennifer Aniston. One cover read Jenn pregnant and its been confirmed this time! Gee hasnt it been confirmed for the last 10 yrs? As Deluded once said perhaps the woman doesnt want to be on the cover. But she is and I just cant stomach her. Shes been getting married and pregnant 20 times already. What is the continued attraction in reading about her?

I agree Heather I never buy print magazines. They are such a waste, as most end up in a landfill somewhere. I have Cat fancy, National Geographic, and a sewing magazine called Threads on my Kindle. I doubt if any of these magazines will ever endorse candidates though. I don’t think I would even vote for a candidate endorsed by Cat fancy. As much as I love kitties, I have to admit “cat people” are a bit . . . Odd.

Phillymiss omg I have had that same conversation with a lot of people over the years. Ive had 3 cats in my life. I think kittens are adorable and dogs really can be mans best friend. As of right now I do not own animals but if someone does its fine by me. But some cat people get kinda different especially when they call the cats their kids…CRINGE…uuh hem…cats generally are able to help themselves with the acception of a litter box change and feeding. A cat can stay home alone all day. A friend of my husband is pro life…thank God. She treats her dogs like her kids but says she will never have any kids. Her girlfriend has 13 cats. I find that a little odd. All of them live in the house? Well we all know how one or a few cats smell if not cared for properly. Not to mention the hair. Cute to look at like to pet them but passing on animals.

And phillymiss I was at the grocery store when Id read this about Jennifer Aniston just 3 days ago. How did JENN…..everyone calls her that like shes the worlds best friend…ever get the title of Americas Sweetheart? Shes pro abortion pro gay marriage typical liberal. I know ppl express sympathy for her divorce from Pitt but Jennifers exact quote was ” I believe my husband 100% when he told me he hadnt had sex with AJ on that movie set.” I feel bad she had a miscarriage from Pitt. I do but its over. Brad wanted kids. Aniston wanted a big screen career first then kids. People say shes over Pitt ( I dont care for him either ) but I still think she carries a torch for him.

This kind of smells like that video PP released for their 40 year anniversary, where they had lit the candles, and put forth a decent looking, smooth talking guy holding rose and a box of chocolates telling women “congratulations, Baby”. You know? It’s like-Ohkhay… uhm, thanks, that was totally UNNECESSARY, but if you think acting creepy and immature is cosmopolitan and sophisticated, please just leave me out of it.
This is outrageously disrespectful towards the feminine, and of course it treats mothers like it’s their property… all women have to do is convince play along and it’s their)(Cosmopolitan Magazine’s) game. No.
The other women’s magazines at least try to have some value, this is outright blaspheme to treat a sister insidiously like chattel, daughters of God, how a woman can sell HERSELF downriver, downright mischievous. It’s a good one to either boycott or toss depending. It’s a little on the demonic side at this point, at least they are being upfront about wanting to pimp honest women for their own selfish good=money.
I am glad women are speaking out against this kind of slavery it was nice to see the team on the video tip this trash into the trash. VOTE FOR LIFE. Stay + POSITIVE!

True, but do people even read either of those anymore? The influence of print media has declined by so much lately that it’s kind of hard to tell.

We should remember that Playboy and Banned Parenthood are, and always will be, bosom buddies, so it’s not surprising, really, that Cosmo is playing the role for women that Playboy plays for men (pun intended).

I really don’t care about the TEA Party, per se. They may succeed or not, on their own merits.
I am saying that the libertines at Cosmo and the elitists in the Big Two know that their worst enemy is an uprising of American families, determined to take back our culture and our government.
They fear the Pro-Life Movement and anything like the TEA Party.
My own opinion is that the TEA Party is a very good start. We need a Pro-Life Party. We need a Christian Democrat Party, and a Second Amendment Party, and Environmental Rights Party and even a Social Atheists Party. We need to break up the effete monopoly of Democrats and Republicans.

Playboy is another sin filled mag. Id resd that Hefner had impregnated a bunny told her to abort and they would try again later. That never happened. Why hasnt the old frog had a vasectomy yet? Former Americas Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry blew what little career she had left after posing for Playboy. She admits to being a huge pot head and instead of thanking Tyra Banks she said we ought to do away with black history month. She quipped “Why not have a Jewish history or white history month.”??? Many reminded Curry shed still be waiting tables had an African American model not opened the door for her.

Curry really believes that she is the hottest woman on the planet and she used to be a Christian but now claims to be an athiest. She hates Christ and when she married Chris Knight who is Jewish she ranted “My husband doesnt believe in Christ so if he burns in hell I want to burn with him.” Also copy catted Kathy Griffen “Jesus can blank it.” Ick what a twit. Id like to kick her ugly behind back to Joliet IL.

Looks like Curry is drowning and her career is pretty much over. She went on Howard Stern while still married to Chris Knight ( the middle boy on the Brady Bunch ) and told Howard that her sex life at home just wasnt the same stating of other vulger ways she was dealing with the isssue. Why do these girls need Howards approval and validation? He will always tell women they are so hot and sexy. Its been the same old same old for years. The final straw was when Curry did a lesbian photo shoot as an anniversary present. Knight blew a gear and when Curry was done taping the show she flew back home to be greeted with divorce papers. After 5 years she n Chris are divorced and the modeling world has shut the door on her.

Then what kills me is that suddenly shes an expert on Obama ..all of his policies etc. Then when people tells her shes wrong ( which is often ) she scrambles for a defense. What a shame she used to call herself an anti abortion Christian got with Knight and did a 360 on everything. And not for the better. Excuse me dear you won a contest! Sure youve done a few mag shoots but now that youre 30 the phone isnt ringing so I guess you had to resort to shock value…Hating Christ claiming now youre a bisexual on contraception. Good luck. Youre gonna need it. You fell into the Hollywierd trap. Sad.
