Pro-life vid of the day: Modern feminism is failing pregnant women
by Hans Johnson
Conservative columnist/pundit Dana Loesch hosted the Glenn Beck Program Monday, discussing how she believes modern-day feminists make women feel like they can’t survive without the government’s help: “I would know, because I was one of ’em!”
Coming from a single-parent household herself, she became pregnant as a student in 2001, and was told by her fellow liberal college friends: “You have a choice! You have a choice!”
But when her choice was to keep her baby, “not a single one” supported her decision. “I grew tired of these people telling me that as a woman, I wasn’t strong enough to raise a child in my circumstances.”
But she did have the support of her faith in God, and that of Chris Loesch (pictured above, with Dana), who became her husband. Dana had this word of advice:
Men, do not allow yourselves to be emasculated – to let an entire generation die away because you didn’t feel it was your place to step up and speak out…Fight back! Your sons need you, your daughters need you, your wives and your girlfriends need you.
The relevant remarks begin around 8:45:

Yah, the whole notion that men need to shut up BECAUSE VAGINA! is just getting old.
You’d think that the one thing women can do that men biologically can’t (carry and nurture life INSIDE OF US and then push out a human being) would be more celebrated by feminists. But nope. Instead they try to prevent that with drugs, tell us we don’t need to have kids and basically shouldn’t even want to because ugh! patriarchy!! It just kind of makes me sad pregnancy is so downplayed because that part of being a woman is pretty amazing, stretch marks, wider hips, and all.
This was encouraging.
Bravo! Thank you Dana!
Alas, in that whole wonderful segment — It hit one speedbump too fast. In describing her version of the antics typical of college students, she finished with, “… and without taking the necessary precautions.”
It would have been totally wholesome, without that line. A great many people become pregnant in spite of their “precautions.” My sister, for example, when she was in college. But like Dana, my sister and the father married, and they have been quite successful together while raising four very bright kids. That first child is working on her doctorate in Chemistry.
The world would be a much poorer place, if my sister has listened to the feminists.
The solution to unplanned pregnancy is not abortion. The success stories happen when the father steps up and accepts responsibility for his child.
