‘Unplanned’: What Would Susan B. Anthony Say?

The abortion industry has had a rough couple of weeks. In addition to the commercial success of the pro-life film, Unplanned, the Georgia legislature just joined the growing number of states to pass bills prohibiting abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Predictably, the film and the legislation have been denounced by baby part purveyor Planned Parenthood, its bought-and-paid-for stooges in Washington, and the legacy media as another offensive in the “war on women.” The irony of that charge is that legendary feminists like Susan B. Anthony and other genuine fighters for women’s rights were ardent opponents of abortion.

Thanks for posting. It is good to be reminded that today´s feminism has strayed far from its moral roots. Motherhood was sacred to Anthony & Stanton. Abortion was murder. And as many women know even today - it is the male who demands that his partner get an abortion.

The fact is abortion is giving the ultimate decision to the man. It is the opposite of feminist power; it is giving all the power to the male which is why men support it. It takes away any responsibility that they have in the conception of the child. It gives him permission to abandon the mother of his child; it frees him from any future obligation. It is truly the total empowerment of men over women.
Think about it. Most abortions are performed because the man has no interest in the child or the woman he has had a relationship with. The woman often fears that he will leave her if she does not kill her own child. It is the most hideous of choices that she is forced to make and by making this legal right up to the moment of birth and even beyond, we as a society are saying that we have no obligation to our future generation.

If women really have the "right" to do what they want with their bodies, then they should have prostituted themselves first to the man and at least had the money to pay for the abortion. Bueller?

I cannot at all agree with any of the comments that place blame for abortions at the foot of the man. I´m sorry, but it takes two to tango and all I ever hear from abortion rights activists, almost all of whom are women, is about a WOMAN´s right to this and a WOMAN´s right to that. I almost NEVER hear anything about the man´s involvement and what I do hear trivializes a man´s involvement to the extent that he doesn´t have the right to so much as open his mouth about what happens to the child.
All I can say is that the elite of the SS would be extremely jealous of the profit that Planned Parenthood is making off of selling tissue and body parts from the children it murders. And that´s all PP was ever meant to be was a veiled genocidal organization. All those who defend it make me ill.

Back then, the suffragettes were against abortion because it let men off the hook.
Guess what? It still does.

Two points. I saw Unplanned yesterday and parents and grandparents should make sure their girls AND boys see this movie. The cavalier attitude might change.
Second point. I volunteered at the Crisis Pregnancy Center when I first moved here to Corpus Christi 10 years ago. I just checked the home page to see if the same people are there and noticed that one of the services they provide is abortion information. That is new. Someone had to have gotten ahold of them and said they had to do it. Makes me sick.

#1 – There is no doubt many men pressure the woman to have an abortion, but there are also a significant number of men who want their babies and can do nothing to protect their child. Even in martial situations, the feminazis have so perverted the law they have negated a husband and father’s rights and responsibilities towards his family.

Exactly #8. I know a married couple who went through that exact experience. They had one child, the woman got pregnant again and did not want another child. The father did, but he had no say and she had an abortion. He stayed with her, which boggles my mind. If my wife had killed our child against my wishes, I would have been filing for divorce the next day.

FTA: Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, “When the mother of Christ shall be made the true model of womanhood and motherhood, when the office of maternity shall be held sacred and the mother shall consecrate herself, as did Mary, …”
Socialism protests against God by treating mankind like soulless animals, promoting that there are no differences between the societal and reproductive aspects of men and women. To accomplish this goal, the special station of women as God’s co-creators of life had to be destroyed and the sacredness of the womb denied. It is demonic.
Chivalry evolved from Catholic teachings on Mary as the Mother of God, elevating the vital roles of wife and mother. Christ sanctified motherhood at His Conception and His Death. One of His last words from the Cross were to His mother, “‘Woman, behold, your son.’ Then to the disciple, ‘Behold, your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.” (John 20:26-27) The disciple is every Christian. Christ gave His Mother to mankind inviting us to bring her into our homes and into our hearts, making all mothers intimate partners with God in the creation of new life.
Mary is the mother of us all, and she is the mother that gathers into her arms the souls of the precious innocents slaughtered on the altar of socialism. It’s no coincidence that at vigils Catholics pray the Rosary, meditating on the significant events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. The vigils are now until Holy Week, volunteer an hour praying before the door of evil. Join a 40 Days for Life vigil. By the way, PP really hates 40 Days for Life. AMDG

Wow, what did I learn today? I thought ´Suan B. Anthony´ was eubonics for transvestite.
Seriously, it seems that the dad/men in general have in fact been cut from the discussion. PP started out trying to cleanse America from teh ´unwanted races´ and turned into a very profitable baby part harvesting operation. I intend to see the movie, even though we have to drive about an hour to go to a theater.

What would Susan B say? “Get all the “I voted” for Hillary stickers off my headstone.”

Do we know who the women are that are aborting these babies?
Some kind of geographic or other type of indication of the largest percentage aborting their babies?
Just asking...
