Earlier this year, clothing company Lands’ End featured an interview with pro-abortion feminist Gloria Steinem with their CEO, Federica Marchionni. Steinem was lauded as a “legend,” and the interview and accompanying photo shoot with Steinem took up three pages in the Lands’ End catalogue. On top of this, Lands’ End sold tote bags with “ERA” monogrammed on them, and for each tote sold, $3 was donated to Steinem\u2019s organization, Fund for Women\u2019s Equality, Inc., which lists a number of pro-abortion organizations among its affiliates, including the National Organization for Women and the Center for Reproductive Rights. To make matters worse, this interview with Steinem was run in the Easter catalogue.<\/p>\n

The backlash was practically immediate. Lands’ End lost the business of at least two schools<\/a>. Thousands of angry customers left messages expressing their displeasure on the Lands’ End Facebook page. The controversy grew so overwhelming for the company that eventually, they were forced to apologize<\/a>, and pulled the interview with Steinem from their website. This only made the abortion lobby angry, and Lands’ End found themselves in major hot water.<\/p>\n
