Amanda Marcotte compares a baby to human wasteAmanda Marcotte at RH Reality Check wrote that “there’s really no way for anti-choicers to conduct themselves civilly when promoting their cause. After all, the cause itself is uncivil. Civil people don’t nose around in other people’s private lives, try to impose their weird religious dogma on the unwilling, or try to destroy other people’s pleasure just for the sake of doing it.” Amanda Marcotte First, the pro-life cause opposes the intentional… Continue Reading → |

Amanda Marcotte: Demonizing people is bad, except when I do itGather ’round, boys and girls, because it’s time for another check-in with the internet’s number-one Arbiter of True Womanhood and and Diviner of All Things Sexist, the walking self-parody known as Amanda Marcotte. On Monday, the Pompous One managed to set a new low for demagogic hypocrisy. At Slate, she wrote about the “taboo” against men opining on so-called women’s issues, which she and blogger Nico Lang attribute to cultural stereotypes abou… Continue Reading → |

Amanda Marcotte doesn’t understand cause-effect relationshipsIt would be a shame to let 2012 end without one last check-in with our old pal Amanda Marcotte. At Slate, she writes about the (possible) rise in black-market, do-it-yourself abortions: The reason that it’s not much discussed in public forums is that reproductive health advocates are data-driven people, and one thing that’s nearly impossible to get data on is the prevalence of women quietly buying an ulcer medication named Cytotec fr… Continue Reading → |

Amanda Marcotte’s problem with purityIn response to my July 20 article on birth control, I got a little guff for referring to abstinence opponents as “libertines,” a term which denotes unrestrained indulgence of sensual pleasures. As if on cue, the reliably radical Amanda Marcotte, writing at the equally extreme RH Reality Check, proved my point on Tuesday with a piece not merely arguing against the effectiveness of purity balls and pledges, but condemning the very messages they se… Continue Reading → |

Abortion backers: you can’t be pro-life unless you’re pro-choiceFeminists are up in arms and this time they’ve set their sights on the Superbowl. Instead of criticizing scantily clad cheerleaders or ads that use sex to sell beer, their fury is descending on the story of a mild-mannered mother of five children. This Superbowl Sunday, CBS will broadcast a 30-second advertisement featuring Pam Tebow and her son Tim, a Heisman Trophy winner and current Florida Gator’s quarterback (pictured left). Pam will alleg… Continue Reading → |

Reality TV exposes the devastation of “virginity-obsessed culture”! (No, not really)Yeah, her again. Meanwhile, in the continuing adventures of Amanda Marcotte and her never-ending war against “hard-line right wingers and religious fundamentalists,” our intrepid hero has taken to Slate to warn us about the “costs of growing up in a virginity-obsessed culture.” Spoiler alert: it’s even more insipid than you’re expecting: While plenty of kids born into this situation carry on their parents’ ideals exactly as instructed, many get… Continue Reading → |

Amanda Marcotte can’t find the babyAmanda Marcotte, a radical pro-abortion blogger whose career peaked when she resigned in disgrace from Sen. John Edwards’ presidential campaign (think about that for a second) amidst criticism for filthy anti-Christian writing, isn’t exactly known for persuasive argument. But her latest post at Raw Story, titled “The Reality of Abortion,” takes the sophistry to a gruesome new level. Marcotte uses the image on the right to “counter all the pictur… Continue Reading → |

Pro-choice writer angered by publication of “pro-life feminist” columnWe already knew that pro-abortion feminazis want to dictate who is and isn’t allowed in their little club. They’re ardently against any pro-lifers labeling themselves as feminists, a term that (once upon a time, anyway) described someone who believed in equality for women. Today’s modern so-called feminists have stolen the term and turned it into someone who wants abortion to not only be legal, but widespread and celebrated. Ab… Continue Reading → |

‘RH Reality Check’ misrepresents Lila Rose, pro-life movement as ‘anti-sex’At RH Reality Check, Amanda Marcotte offers a perplexing and colorful story about pro-life activism that is bound to leave reality-conscious readers scratching their heads. Marcotte’s claim is that the pro-life movement is not at all about protecting life but is, instead, “anti-sex”. For reasons that only Marcotte knows, she adds false claims about Live Action and Lila Rose to the mix. More troubling, she appears to have no und… Continue Reading → |

Feminist radicalization update: “dress modestly” now code for misogynist oppressionNothing is more certain to freak out pro-aborts than suggesting that sexuality should be accompanied by a degree of responsibility. On Friday, ThinkProgress reported on a Modesty Matters pamphlet distributed at the Family Research Council’s 2012 Values Voter Summit: Modesty Matters criticized women for dressing “immodestly” at church, and blamed women for causing men to stare lustfully at them. Women must “embrace MODESTY in dress and behavior,”… Continue Reading → |

Responding to pro-abortion blogger’s claims about Planned ParenthoodThe following is a recent blog posted by Amanda Marcotte, in which she not only takes a crack at pro-lifers who favor Virginia’s stricter abortion clinic regulations, but she also attempts to bolster deceptions that are perpetuated by Planned Parenthood in their efforts to downplay their rampant superfluity of abortion services. Amanda Marcotte “[W]hat especially gets to me about Virginia’s new regulations that will likely shut down mo… Continue Reading → |

Barbarism – Inhuman late-term abortion footage shows humanity at its worst“Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life…” ― Elizabeth Goudge, Green Dolphin Street “Flush it.” If you read those words alone, you might assume that the “it” was a handful of toilet paper or a few strands of loose hair. Tragically, however, the “it” that’s being referred to… Continue Reading → |

Did pro-lifers drive women to Kermit Gosnell?Pro-aborts have finally acknowledged that the trial of Kermit Gosnell exists, and since doing so, they’ve realized that they need to go on the defensive. The trial had by and large been ignored, most likely to protect abortion, until there was a huge outcry calling for an end to the media blackout. So pro-aborts started talking about it. But their condemnation for Gosnell was rather lacking, considering that overwhelmingly, the condemnatio… Continue Reading → |

Slate Writer: Planned Parenthood makes abortion a “priority”As several states have acted to remove taxpayer funding from Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, the organization and their supporters in both movement and mainstream media have attempted to frame de-funding efforts as attacks on basic healthcare and other services that are not abortion-related. Live Action was able to expose Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards’ false claim that Planned Parenthood provides mam… Continue Reading → |

Pro-aborts vs. Sam Brownback in your manufactured, constitutionally-ignorant outrage of the dayAs outrageous as the barbaric evil they support is, the anti-intellectualism of the abortion lobby is almost as insufferable. In addition to their biological illiteracy, pro-aborts steadfastly refuse to learn how the Constitution works. The latest example is their freak-out over a photo of some curious notes on Gov. Sam Brownback’s desk: Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed sweeping anti-abortion legislation Friday, giving his state a new law to blo… Continue Reading → |

Woman who assaulted a pro-life protester cancels abortion and thanks protesterMechelle Hall has an incredible story that the mainstream media has completely ignored. She is a young woman who got pregnant and was going to have an abortion. On the way in, she had an altercation with some pro-life protesters: Reached at her northern Wisconsin home Tuesday evening, Leah Winandy, 21, said she was protesting abortions on behalf of Pro Life Ministries of Duluth and handing out pamphlets on First Street outside the Building for W… Continue Reading → |

Abortion: men, you have a sayIn May of 2010, during the proposal of a Florida bill requiring pregnant women to obtain an ultrasound before having an abortion, Democrat Representative Janet Long impudently instructed her male Republican opponents, “Stand down if you don’t have ovaries.” This statement accurately depicts the general attitude of pro-choice women towards men who voice their opinion in the abortion debate. Abortion has been clearly defined by the left as a women… Continue Reading → |

Democrats playing with fire in “War on Women” smear campaignClare McCaskill wanted Todd Akin to be her Republican opponent in Missouri, and now Democrats think his “legitimate rape” fiasco will yield returns beyond their wildest hopes. McCaskill is currently going easy on Akin and criticizing the calls for him to drop out. Markos Moulitsas, founder of the radically left-wing Daily Kos, advises his party to soft-pedal their attacks on Akin until it’s clear he won’t be replaced, then move in for the kill….

Planned Parenthood’s no longer “pro-choice”…but should we even care?I saw a commercial a few months ago that kind of bugged me. It was an ad for Kraft’s “Anything” dressings. In a move to increase sales and generate interest, Kraft re-branded their salad dressings and labeled them “Anything” dressings. The label and packaging is different, but the contents remain the same. Now, I don’t have a problem with Kraft suggesting we use their dressings for more than just salad. I already use Ranch with everything from p… Continue Reading → |

Analysis: NARAL’s Nancy Keenan makes two false claimsIn an e-mail sent to supporters yesterday, NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan slammed “Women Up,” which is a new Republican outreach to women. The e-mail blast, as seen in part in the screenshot below, uses less-than-accurate facts to support its claims. Let’s take a look at Keenan’s three supporting statements: 1) Keenan: “We know that the House voted to defund Planned Parenthood.” Nancy Keenan… Continue Reading → |
