About a month ago, I wrote a blog post titled About Being a Sex Positive Feminist, and Prolife. This post followed a lengthy conversation with @irishginge, who at that time, was a self-proclaimed “Sex Positive, Pro-Life, Feminist”. I’m sad, though not at all surprised, that her pro-life status has been officially changed to pro-abort.
The fact is, she has been pro-choice for some time, and perhaps all along. A few months ago, she tweeted this, in response to the weak attempt by Republicans to de-fund Planned Parenthood. In this tweet, she clearly stated she was pro-life, but not at the expense of Planned Parenthood being de-funded!
There is no other explanation, sex is more important to ‘Sex-Positive Feminists’ than protecting innocent human life. Planned Parenthood feeds this frenzy by promoting sex, under the guise of ‘safe sex’, and ‘caring for women’. The more young women they convince that having sex without consequences is acceptable, the more money Planned Parenthood makes on killing the innocent human life that results. The only way to prevent pregnancy and abortion, is not to have sex.
I hope she will change her mind (again), but I sincerely doubt that will happen. She has proven to me (which I already knew), and perhaps herself, that you can’t hang with a community of pro-aborts and not ultimately become one yourself.
Wow. Kudos on writing a blog that not only highlights your incredibly ignorance of the nuances involved in this topic, but totally twisting the words of a woman who you’ve never even met in real life and totally misrepresenting her stance on the subject and taking her quotes out of context. Where is the very clear quotes from her stating she loathes abortion? And who the hell is PRO-ABORTION? Sounds like you’re an ignorant fundie bent on twisting the truth instead of having an open and genuine discussion about the subject. Oh and by the m*%#* f&*#@ing way, abortion isn’t JUST performed for voluntary sex. But you know, continue victimizing rape and incest victims.
I did not misrepresent her stance on abortion, nor did I take her quotes out of context. She is now prochoice politically, so she IS prochoice.
If you cared to look at any data, you would know that the vast majority of abortions are performed on women that VOLUNTEERED to have sex. Abortions due to rape and incest are maybe 1 to 2% of all abortions performed. But yeah, go ahead and use them while trying to justify the needless slaughter of 1.2 million babies a year in the US alone.
Oh f*$# off, you nonce. I could put more thought into a response to this tripe, but you’re not worth the effort.
I’m sorry you lost your way. I’ll say a prayer for you.
Um, PP is a non profit organization. They don’t “make money”. And it cracks me up how people think that PP is just an abortion mill. Jeebus. Educate yourselves before making ridiculous remarks like this.
Please do some research before spreading the rumor that PP doesn’t make money. ‘Non-Profit’ is a TAX status, it doesn’t mean an org can’t profit. Take a look at their last annual report http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/PPFA/PPFA_Annual_Report_08-09-FINAL-12-10-10.pdf
Because calling women out for killing is a ‘far greater evil’ than babies being slaughtered in utero-it’s far more important that feminists not get their feelings hurt than it is to stand up against murdering the unborn, but we as women reserve the right to tell men not to rape and kill, but you’d better not tell a woman not to, we’re delicate hothouse flowers who can’t be told no, ever, we can do no wrong but when we do you have NO right to actually SAY SO, we’re empowered but don’t ever ask us to own our own shit or we’ll whip out the victim card. What a load of sexist bullshit. This is what I hate most about radical feminism-the double standard.
It’s amusing how obvious it was to everyone but her. Also amusing is her ‘I’d never judge anyone’ psychobabble, when it took her about 0.5 seconds to reduce the both of us to pig-ignorant rednecks, witches, and everyone in the Deep South to uneducated fundies, and all of America to ‘stupid.’ But hey, a few friends a few million dead babies are a small price to pay to fit in, be liked by the sisterhood, and who needs to stand up against evil, anyway? It’s just too haaaaaaaard and it like totally interferes with our shopping, bubble baths and careless sex. Why think for yourself when you can just read from the script, parrot a few bumper sticker slogans and look away when others die for your empty ideology? It’s totally a woman’s choice whether she wants to kill or not. Who is anyone else to question that? Women can’t be held accountable for their actions. That’s just for men.
Equality, my ASS.
It really saddens me that women have been reduced to this level. Weak.
She was never a pro-lifer. Being one eighth of a degree to the right of radical pro-abort feminists doesn’t make you prolife; it just makes you a Nazi who doesn’t work Sundays.
Irishginge was prolife. Until she saw the light. Then she became pro-choice.
Just like me eight years earlier.
Jovan, I just noticed you said you became prochoice 8 years ago. What changed your mind? Be specific please.
jovan – “Irishginge was prolife. Until” she was indoctrinated by feminists. She was too weak to fend off radical prochoice agenda, aka, she drank the kool-aid. If you hang around with a certain idiological group, eventually you will come around to their beliefs.
I used to think ‘pro-choice’ was OK, then I got older and found out the truth about the abortion industry and how it abuses young girls. Girls are lied to and often coerced into having abortions, sometimes they are even physically forced to when they’ve changed their minds! It seems odd to me that a person would swing from pro-life to pro-abort, it was through doing research that I came to the realization that there is very little actual ‘choice’ among the pro-aborts, the only ‘choice’ they support is the abortion, but what really truly converted me to pro-life is the coercion and deception involved, most pro-life people are doing it for the babies, and that is great, but what got me are The Other Victims, who (if they survive) are damaged for the rest of their lives. Those girls are used and abused by the abortion industry and then thrown away (just like their babies) when they cease to serve a purpose to the abortion pushers.
Thank you for the link Zilla. I look forward to reading it in it’s entirety. I fear coercion is more common than even the pro-choicers know.
I’d be honored if you read it. BTW I added you to my blogroll. I am a friend of Lisa Graas and I found your blog when I saw you standing up for her, as a good friend should.
I saw you there too Zilla, thanks for standing up for her. Also, thanks for reminding me to read you link. I was so tied up over the weekend, I forgot all about it.
Zilla – I just went and made my last comment on JoAnna’s post. Hopefully someday she will be able to see past her self-righteousness. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will be any time soon.
it was the right wing’s war on women that caused me to be pro-choice. I took a look at it after reading a Greenville News story about the Bush Admin plans to gut the Title IX and Educational Equity Act. Then, I found out the war on women and girls being waged by the right was even deeper than that – and that it was started by targeting their reproductive rights back around the time I was born.
Jovan, there is no “war on women”. Pro-life’s goal is to stop the needless killing of unborn human beings. There is nothing wrong with expecting women and men to act in a manner which prevents abortion.
