The beat goes on

June 20, 2011 by Andrea Mrozek 4 Comments

Commenting on true infringements of women’s rights is something PWPL likes to do. This was always Brigitte’s domain, for no particular reason, just because she always got to it first. But since she is no longer blogging here with us, I will try to keep up, by drawing attention to the Saudi women challenging a driving ban, today.

    Do try to keep up with the feminists you’re trying to emulate.

    Off-topic but have you seen this?

    “Despite the author’s intentions, “Unnatural Selection” might be one of the most consequential books ever written in the campaign against abortion. It is aimed, like a heat-seeking missile, against the entire intellectual framework of “choice.” For if “choice” is the moral imperative guiding abortion, then there is no way to take a stand against “gendercide.” Aborting a baby because she is a girl is no different from aborting a baby because she has Down syndrome or because the mother’s “mental health” requires it. Choice is choice.”
