"Compassionate conservative", meet "pro-life feminist"

[KamaAina]

This one truly boggles the mind.

Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, broke ground in American corporate leadership and is now being heralded as a pioneer again - the vanguard of a new breed of "pro-woman, pro-life" feminists in the mold of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin....

"Similar to Sarah Palin, we can look up to Carly," said Linn, who works for the Gap, which is based in San Francisco. "She embodies the better side of us. She's articulate, kind, feminine, beautiful, smart and successful - and she holds dear the values that we hold dear.

She called the California Senate race "a bellwether for women running in the future," and a "banner election" for female candidates who she defines as feminists in the conservative model of "Palin-Fiorina-Bachmann," a reference to Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann, a favorite of Tea Party activists....

"Every five or ten years someone says, 'This is the new face of feminism,' " said Sacramento author and women's activist Camille Hayes. "When people say 'pro-woman feminism,' my suspicion is what they mean is 'pro-traditional, feminine' feminism ... that old-school rap about feminists being hairy-legged, man-haters evolved in the 1970s is a (public relations) challenge that the movement has always had."...

1. 'This is the new face of feminism,'

Riiiighht. Don't they mean "anti-feminism?"

2. More like the New Face of Scorched Earth Economics and Governing.

Can't see the forrest because she already chopped all the trees.

But hey, the good citizens of California will sleep better knowing Carly and her chainsaw will land safely in a giant pile of greenbacks no matter what happens.

Sucks if you're a tree, though . . .

"Pro-life" - the thousands of workers whose livelihoods you ended were someone's baby.

3. If you're not pro-choice, you're not pro-woman

and you're certainly not pro-life

4. Reccing for the pukes

If you don't support reproductive health care access for all reproductive health care options, you are NOT a feminist. The end.

5. There is no such thing as a "pro-Life Feminist".

See the article the "Faux Feminism of Sarah Palin". This is going to be a big issue and Democrats who do not believe in choice are going to emerge. This is a huge threat to choice and we are fooling ourselves if we think it isn't. Choice has been virtually eliminated in many states and they are also targeting contraception,They claim it is bad for the health of women, and your pharmacist has the right to deny it to you on moral grounds.

6. Successful?

Didn't she run her company into the ground?
