Since Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement<\/a>, it has given pro-lifers a glimmer of hope that Roe v. Wade<\/em> may finally be overturned — and abortion advocates are panicking. They’ve begun to argue that Roe<\/em> can’t be overturned, emphasizing the supposed importance of abortion for women. One of the most troubling examples comes from Cindi Leive, who\u00a0has built herself an impressive resume in the publishing world, working as editor-in-chief for both Glamour and Self magazines, as well as a senior fellow at the University of Southern California\u2019s Annenberg Center and a a Board Member at the International Women’s Media Foundation.<\/p>\n

And all of this, according Leive’s\u00a0op-ed in the New York Times<\/a>, was made possible because of abortion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Leive is married with two children, and when she left her job at Glamour last year, she had grown the magazine’s audience by millions, racking up multiple awards. But along the way, she also frequently advocated for abortion<\/a> in the pages of her magazine; this, though, was evidently not enough. In her op-ed, she bemoaned the fact that she hadn’t spoken publicly about her own abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leive’s mother was dying of cancer when she went to college. While there, she was intoxicated one night and had unprotected sex. Seven weeks later, she had an abortion.<\/p>\n
