'This weekend, we were gifted a meandering essay from columnist Tish Harrison Warren titled "Why The Feminist Movement Needs Pro-Life People," which, rudely, was not subtitled "Like A Hole In The Head."'

I thought it was the rich getting anxious whenever the workers have the power to leave their jobs, demand and get higher pay, get to work from home, or start paying attention to things like "tax the rich" and "universal health care." IOW, the true readership of the NYT and WaPo are the rich and powerful who want to stay that way at the expense of everyone else.

I would not have either time, since my partners did not want to be parents. One of whom was a Catholic, who was against abortion, until his life was directly involved, he then decided it was the (only) desirable option.the other was my first husband, who at least was not a hypocrite about it.

RBG, probably doesn't count to her, because of her being Jewish, the weird Anglican woman, thinks they play for the other team.

Yes, the cult part that hides under the skirt of the Catholic Church for respectability. Attwood based her Handmaid's tale, after this cult, and one other, whose name escapes me.

The new editor Sally Busbee is a hard right winger, and sadly is in the process of making that once wonderful paper into Fox-lite.

I'm not renewing, but they are really turning into right wing propaganda pushers. Have you seen all the forced-birther glorification stories they are pushing lately? A brood mare type baby mill in Texas, and the idiot who thinks "Diapers save babies?"

Sounds like a real one IMHO. (I know you were snarking but, I couldn't resist.)

It makes is sound like the equivalent of ordering a movie online, or getting food from the McDonald’s drive through.

That's exactly how pro-lifers see it--fat, lazy, selfish women just driving up to a clinic, spreading their legs, and filing their nails as someone sucks the fetus out of them with a shopvac hose.

It's left of center the same way the "silent majority" supports Alt Right causes.
