She’s not the first member of the Cult of Climastrology to link children and abortion with anthropogenic climate change (for reference, that’s what I am referring to when you see it as ‘climate change’), and certainly won’t be the last
(CBN News) Gloria Steinem, the 83-year-old icon of the modern feminist movement, says the primary cause of global warming is the lack of ready access to abortion around the world.
In an interview with the fashion and beauty website, Refinery29, Steinem was asked if climate change is a feminist issue.
“Are you kidding me? Listen, what causes climate deprivation is population. If we had not been systematically forcing women to have children they don’t want or can’t care for over the 500 years of patriarchy, we wouldn’t have the climate problems that we have. That’s the fundamental cause of climate change,” Steinem said.
Might it not make better sense to promote safe sex here in the 1st World, rather than saying “sure, irresponsible sex is totally OK, you can just abort the baby”? I say in the 1st World, because the primary focus of these Warmists and feminists in the 2nd and 3rd world’s is birth control. It’s almost like they do not want black and brown people to even become pregnant. Kinda racist/bigoted/discriminatory, eh? They do push abortion for those who manage to become pregnant in those areas as a secondary option.
TEACH Lies:
That’s not what she said. Steinem did not mention abortion. Whether she was right or wrong on her facts, it appears she was talking about women not being able to control their own reproduction over the past 5 centuries. Abortion is just a small part of that. What Steinem “pushes” is that women control their own reproductive rights – unfettered access (financially, socially and politically) to contraception and yes, abortion. Ideally, there would be no abortions.
The links in TEACHs post and in the CBN “article” to Refinery29 are broken.
Teach,
Please, can’t you get rid of this creep.
Respectfully, I disagree – let Jeffrey stay. He should get the right to speak whether we agree with him or not. I went to some left wing sites a while back, registered, and started posting non-offensive differing views and was banned with all my posts scrubbed in a week in the two biggest sites. No, I’m not naming them. Point being that with the exception of RedState, most major right wing sites I read let you post with no ban hammer for simply disagreeing. Censorship is a tool of the Left.
Yep.
Most of us enjoy the little poo flinger guy spouting his self-righteous indignation and unfounded accusations. Besides embarassing himself with his own idiocy he’s easy to mock.
Keep the little guy… he’s always amusing.
I remember years ago when I was still working wireless, someone at the Democratic Underground had a serious issue regarding wireless, so, I registered, answered the question, made absolutely no mention of my politics, the person thanked me, then, somehow, someone figured out I was a Bush supporter and had me “tombstoned”.
I’ve been banned from multiple lefty sites, even though I go and be respectful with my comments in opposition. Been banned from the UK Guardian for being a skeptic. Little Green Footballs banned me for one tiny comment saying I didn’t agree with Charles Johnson on a minor issue. But, then, he’s nuts. WRAL and WTVD both blocked me for daring to be Conservative. Liberals are very intolerant of anyone challenging them.
