Rabble

…Those words from this pro-abortion discussion about the Chatelaine piece. (Funny thing is that many a pro-lifer said the same thing.) But at Rabble, their concern is not over abortion but rather about how there should be no debate over abortion. We all agree. And if not, well, your views should be illegal.

Just when you think Canada has a slight chance of becoming progressive, they allow people to publish this sort of hatred encouraging the slavery of women. This should be illegal and the author of the article, as well as the editors of Chatelaine should be brought up on charges of hate crimes.

Wow. Talk about “too too predictable”–I don’t like your views–so Just Ban Them–that should take care of that. They’ve had some success, by the way, starting with telling pro-lifers where they are allowed to walk and what they can say within a certain distance of an abortion clinic. The positive side of this is that if pro-life arguments weren’t persuasive and powerful, our opponents wouldn’t have to limit free speech.

Go crazy, I say–bring out the Human Rights Tribunals and the hate speech charges and I as an ardent pro-lifer will defend Chatelaine‘s right to publish what was a pretty solidly pro-abortion piece.

This quote automatically ran through my head in a Nazi-German accent. (The word ‘Chatelaine’ sounds pretty inaudible in that accent, by the way.) You try it. It’s fun!

Why it’s International Women’s Day, of course.

ProWomanProLifers don’t look to international, top-heavy, unaccountable bodies to guard their rights. (The United Nations can support women’s rights about as well as they guarded against genocide in Rwanda.)

Véronique adds this:

Here’s my $0.02 on Women’s Day. Now that my oldest daughter is teetering on the verge of adolescence, the dizzying task of helping her come to term with her femininity in ways that are emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy looms large in my mother-eyes. Women’s rights, self-affirmation and confidence in one’s abilities start early, especially if that girl must grow-up in a culture of early sexualization, where girl-power means the power to turn men on and self-expression means being available for intercourse (think I’m making this up? Check this out: Shut up, girls, and let your genitals do the talking…).

With all this doom and gloom, I still have great conversations with my daughters about love and sexuality, body image and romance…Another important battle front is the education of our boys. Having two of them, I am constantly reminded that they will also play an important role in upholding gender equality and the dignity of women. Women’s Day at my house is an ongoing event. It started with an exclamatory “It’s a girl!” in an Ottawa-area delivery room almost 12 years ago.

So who does look to anti-democratic bodies to support their rights? These ladies do. They’re the ones who have their knickers in a knot because of the anodyne Unborn Victims of Violence Bill. The ones who guard abortion rights without ever thinking about what those “rights” are. The ones who, across the country are trying to silence women like us.

So in honour of International Women’s Day, I’m changing one of the categories on this site. You’ll note the former category “Feminism” is now “Feminist nonsense”-a home for all the tired and ridiculous assertions of the old-school, pro-abortion 1960s feminist crowd. It’s Michelle Malkin’s idea-and I like it.

I hope our readers continue to enjoy the thought-provoking content of our non-feminist ProWoman team. And happy International Women’s Day!

“Disappointing but too too predictable”…

What day is it anyway?
