Just incredible...
The wife of the guy nominated for the SCOTUS works for this group. http://www.feministsforlife.org/

WTF....feminists for life, feminists for censorship---what is going on with the feminist movement? The things most of us have fought the battles for in the last few decades are being slowly attacked it seems. I was well aware there are many pro-life(personally)feminists but politically they were pro-choice.

Historically, this happened before when the abolitionists and suffragist movement was hijacked by the purists and led to prohibition.

The redefining of labels and movements needs to stop. No wonder those who don't keep up with politics are confused.

How many young women simply google feminism and get caught up in these poseur groups?

rant over.

1. and it keeps coming
more and more proof that Roberts is a radical activist judge that is totally out of step with the "mainstream."

2. these aren't feminists. They've just "borrowed" a more recognizable
moniker to obfuscate their true position. They are anti-choice. They are appeasers. They believe that ultimately a man or group of men can make better decisions regarding their bodies and their reproduction freedom. There's not a feminist bone in their chattel bodies.

3. "Refuse to Choose"
Damn, they thought that one was so gripping they had to register it.

4. I just called them...
And told them I'd like to place an order for a burqah. They couldn't figure it out, until I explained that since their aim was to set back women's rights, I thought surely that they would be selling the appropriate attire to go along with their little agenda.

They were not amused. :rofl:

I wonder if that's who Rush is talking about when he says "feminazis"?
