THE OTHER SIDE OF GLORIA STEINEM
We have known since the 1980s, when Stanley Rothman published the first of his research on media elites, that those who occupy the command posts in the media are overwhelmingly on the abortion-rights side. That is why they are already lionizing Gloria Steinem, who died at 92. But there is another side to her, one that the media will not discuss.
Is it possible to be “pro-choice” and not anti-Catholic? Of course. Is it possible to be a rabid “pro-choice” activist and not anti-Catholic? Possible, but not likely. That’s because these activists see the Catholic Church as the enemy—they are right about that—and most of them allow their disagreements to spill into bigotry. Steinem was one of them.
Pope John Paul II said Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1995. I was inside. Outside there were more than 1,000 anti-Catholic protesters. They carried signs bashing the pope; they also had signs bashing the Catholic League. Many of the protesters hurled obscenities. This bigoted exercise was led by Steinem and Olympia Dukakis.
Steinem held a press conference, telling the media, “We will live to see the day that St. Patrick’s Cathedral is a child-care center and the pope is no longer a disgrace to the skirt that he has on.”
Steinem put the lie to the notion that “no one is really pro-abortion.” She liked abortion. In fact, she loved it. That is why she happily endorsed a book by atheist and anti-Catholic activist Anne Nicol Gaylor titled, Abortion Is A Blessing. Did she consider it a “blessing” when she aborted her baby at age 22? Not sure, but it would not surprise to learn that she did. After all, she called “National Abortion Providers Appreciation Day” an occasion that recognizes “acts of kindness.”
She was more than pro-abortion—she hated marriage and the family. She made it her ambition to “abolish and reform the institution of marriage.” Anyone who thinks it is a good idea to raise kids absent the institution of marriage is either ignorant of the psychological and social consequences it engenders, or is morally debased beyond recognition.
The other side of Gloria Steinem is not pretty. Indeed, it is quite ugly.
Says the man with the ugly mind and the ugly soul.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well. Par for the course. Aging, pinko-liberal, woke tosser supports a bitch like Gloria Steinem.
ReplyDeleteSticks and stones, wanker, as well as lies. Ms Steinem supported equal rights for women in employment, relationships and choices about those, as well as same-sex marriage and the LQBTQI+ community. Naturally, a bigoted bastard like you feared and hated her - not least because arseholes like you are now relics of past history.
ReplyDeleteAt least my books brought in royalties, unlike your pitiful vanity publication - what was it, £1375 to publish a pile of meaningless shite that sold 157 copies in nearly three years?

Swashbuckling Mulligan will strike on a day you do not know and at an hour you know not know. There will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth.
ReplyDeleteNo you won’t, Gene: your attempts at devastating satire are as limp as your dick these days. You shot your literary load with Granny Barkes, a fatuous alphabet soup that meant nothing and which nobody read. When an author is reduced to faking reviews of his own work he’s acknowledging that he can’t write. Don’t insult my intelligence with these bombastic threats. You couldn’t write fuck on a bus ticket.
