Sponsored by the same group that led the Women&#8217;s March in January,\u00a0the rallying cry of the organization is\u00a0for Americans\u00a0to stand in solidarity\u00a0&#8220;for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the &#8220;feminists&#8221;\u00a0who take part in &#8220;A Day Without a Woman&#8221; are also the ones who\u00a0refuse to defend\u00a0the\u00a0rights of millions of little women in the womb.\u00a0The organizers of the Women&#8217;s March have made it very clear that their platform is pro-abortion, and individuals who support protections for the preborn are not allowed to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Tragically, the Women&#8217;s March and the new feminism movement today \u2014 bred from the Sexual Revolution&#8217;s\u00a0hijack of the women&#8217;s movement \u2014\u00a0are\u00a0profoundly anti-woman.\u00a0Groups like Planned Parenthood have made a profit from abortion because they claim that it is a constitutional right that will empower women to achieve their potential and their goals. Grievously, the abortion industry has marketed the killing of children \u2014 our future \u2014\u00a0as a social good that contributes to the advancement of women, perpetuating violent discrimination against women while they are their most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations estimates that over\u00a0100 million girls are missing in the world today. These were\u00a0the victims of female gendercide \u2014 the systematic killing of\u00a0baby girls because of their sex.\u00a0Millions of\u00a0tiny women have been violently killed through sex-selective abortions, simply because their lives were not considered as valuable.\u00a0Other infant\u00a0girls have been abandoned or left alone to die. Female gendercide\u00a0is the real war on women, and it makes for a real &#8220;Day Without A\u00a0Woman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a02012, an undercover investigation by Live Action showed Planned Parenthood staffers offering sex-selective abortions, which is illegal in some countries, to women seeking to abort their baby girls. This disturbing and discriminatory trend is the very thing that feminists should decry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U2H3ZDnBtuw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>So-called &#8220;feminists&#8221;\u00a0sell the myth\u00a0that\u00a0is not the strength of a woman, her tenacity, her perseverance, or her intellect that allows her to achieve her dreams \u2014 it is abortion. Even sex-selective abortion, which clearly discriminates against women, is labeled as a mother&#8217;s personal decision.\u00a0The lies of the abortion lobby fly in the face of true feminism, which is built upon the recognition of the equal rights of every women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The suffragists\u00a0who led the women&#8217;s rights movement\u00a0were pro-life, and they recognized how abortion violates the dignity of women and ends the lives of their\u00a0preborn children. Alice Paul called abortion &#8220;the ultimate exploitation of women,&#8221; while Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and others spoke strongly about how abortion harms\u00a0mothers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In \u201cTragedy \u2013 Social and Domestic,\u201d Sarah F. Norton notes that\u00a0feticide and abortion are symptoms of societal\u00a0stigmas, and\u00a0women seeking to end their children&#8217;s lives often do so because they\u00a0feel\u00a0crushed by the weight of bearing and raising children alone:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2026 Is there no remedy for this ante-natal child murder? Not any, is the reply to the question so frequently asked. Is there, then, no penalty for the crime? None I can be inflicted, for the crime has become an art, and society cannot punish those who serve it so skillfully and well.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there will come a time when the man who wantonly kills a woman and her babe will be loathed and scorned as deeply as the woman is now loathed and scorned who becomes his dupe; when the sympathy of society will be with the victim rather than the victimizer; when an unmarried mother will not be despised because of her motherhood; when unchastity in men will be placed on an equality with unchastity in women, and when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with[.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A\u00a0woman&#8217;s decision to procure an abortion comes, at many times, from a place of desperation and hopelessness. However, the\u00a0early feminists recognized that women&#8217;s empowerment comes\u00a0through elevating human life and human dignity \u2014 not through the destruction of children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The truth is, abortion does not empower women. It is a injustice that has killed millions of our women and created serious gender disparities that countries, like China and India, are seeking to resolve. The modern\u00a0feminist movement should\u00a0learn from the women\u00a0of the past and defend equality for\u00a0every human life \u2014 beginning with the preborn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today marks International Women&#8217;s Day, and some women\u00a0are joining\u00a0&#8220;A Day Without A Woman&#8221; to advocate for women&#8217;s rights and women&#8217;s equality.
