Well, if the president of Hand-Wringing Misogynists of America says it, it must be true! F**k you, SCIENCE!....
If [Wendy] Wright were really concerned about women, and of course she isn't, she would support making available every option for women to terminate unwanted pregnancies.
~Pro-abortion radical feminist Melissa McEwan from blog Shakesville, responding to Concerned Women for America President Wendy Wright's comment that with ella, women will be enticed to buy a poorly tested abortion pill in the guise of a morning-after pill, June 18

Posted by: Cranky Catholic at June 18, 2010 2:11 PMYou guys are TOO HARSH! Why as soon as I saw her middle finger I knew I could trust her opinion on ANYTHING because she is obviously wise and level-headed, and very much a classy lady! I am sure I would trust her to know whats best for me and for all women. After all, SOMEONE has to be the guinea pigs for medicines. Melissa taught me to ask, "Why not me?" No sacrifice is too great for the sisterhood!

Posted by: Janet at June 18, 2010 2:53 PMMcEwan puts an interesting twist on the idea that some women try to trap a man by getting pregnant..
By the way, with regard to Wright's claim that "men might slip Ella to unsuspecting women," like everything else, she's got it precisely backwards: Reproductive coercion is a serious and insufficiently addressed problem, but the central issue is not men who try to keep their partners from getting pregnant; it's men who sabotage their partners' birth control in order that they become pregnant and thus connected for life if a child is born.
I've never heard of such a thing.
Posted by: Janet at June 18, 2010 2:58 PMJanet, you have some serious research to do. Just because you've never heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Sabotaging birth control is just one of the many ways abusive men control their victims. It's often accompanied by physical, sexual, and verbal abuse.

I really, really hate people when they say stuff like, "If you really agree my goal is a good one, you must support whatever plan I do in order to achieve it." As if the ends actually does justify the means.
No, McEwan, I don't have agree with you about abortion in order to be concerned about women or women's welfare. Stop saying I do, because it makes you look like a moron with no moral center.

Funny how sentences like these are always stated by people who are the opposite.
