There\u2019s no clear explanation for this, as I don\u2019t frequent the places where they used to work. Yet somehow, I&#8217;ve ended up with several former dancers in my circle of friends. While their reasons for entering the business ranged from the mundane to the heart breaking, there\u2019s one point that they all agree on: stripping is about illusions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Strippers try to project the illusion that they\u2019re both interested in and available to an establishment\u2019s\u00a0clientele. In return, the clientele offer financial\u00a0 rewards.\u00a0 Unfortunately, many of the clientele also offer servings of objectification and denigration as well as money,\u00a0but that\u00a0seems to come with the turf. In any event, my friends made it clear to me that they had zero romantic interest in and offered no\u00a0real availability to their customers.* Rather, they were simply selling an image.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_43189\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43189\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43189\" alt=\"luv-with-stripper\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/luv-with-stripper.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/luv-with-stripper.jpg 450w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/luv-with-stripper-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43189\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">*Note: This rule may not apply to T-Pain.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Strippers aren\u2019t the only ones who can peddle an image that doesn\u2019t fit with reality&#8211;pro-abortion politicians are pretty good at it too. They offer speeches wrapped in buzz words like \u201cchoice,\u201d \u201creproductive freedom,\u201d and \u201cfamily planning.\u201d What they really deliver is a set of policies that help <a title=\"Planned Parenthood: Helping others to control your body\" href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-helping-others-control-body\/\" target=\"_blank\">sexual predators<\/a> harm girls and allow \u201cchoice providers\u201d to turn babies into <a title=\"Here's The Blood\" href=\"http:\/\/www.herestheblood.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">medical waste<\/a>. Earlier, we\u00a0examined how abortion fans are waging wars on <a title=\"How to wage a real war on women: Lessons from the pro-abortion crowd\" href=\"\/news\/how-to-wage-a-real-war-on-women-lessons-from-the-pro-abortion-crowd\/\" target=\"_blank\">women<\/a> and <a title=\"More lessons from the pro-abortion crowd: How to wage a war on children\" href=\"\/news\/more-lessons-from-the-pro-abortion-crowd-how-to-wage-a-war-on-children\/\" target=\"_blank\">children<\/a>. Now it\u2019s time to look at their political enablers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan we honestly say that we\u2019re doing enough to keep our children, all of them, safe from harm?\u201d President Barack Obama asked this question in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre. And the answer to that question is&#8230;no, no we\u2019re not. Thankfully, there&#8217;s a helpful device that the\u00a0president can use if he&#8217;d like to see\u00a0part of the reason why we&#8217;re not\u00a0doing that. It\u2019s called a mirror.<\/p>\n<p>One of Obama&#8217;s\u00a0first acts upon taking office was to <a title=\"Obama overturns Mexico City Policy, pro-lifers react\" href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/obama_overturns_mexico_city_policy_prolifers_react\/\" target=\"_blank\">suspend the Mexico City Policy<\/a>&#8211;an executive order that prohibited US foreign aid dollars from paying for abortions overseas. He also rolled back Bush-era executive orders that <a title=\"Obama voids Bush conscience rule in favor of decades-old protections\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amednews.com\/article\/20110307\/government\/303079955\/1\/\" target=\"_blank\">protected healthcare workers<\/a>\u00a0who refused to assist with abortions. Further, President Obama\u00a0has vowed to defend funding for abortion giant <a title=\"\u201cPlanned Parenthood\u2019s publicly-funded, billion-dollar abortion empire has to play by the same rules as everyone else\u201d\" href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthoods-publicly-funded-billion-dollar-abortion-empire-has-to-play-by-the-same-rules-as-everyone-else\/\">Planned Parenthood<\/a> in spite of proof that it\u2019s employees have been willing to work with\u00a0<a title=\"EXPOSING PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S COVER-UP OF CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/traffick\/\" target=\"_blank\">sex traffickers\u00a0<\/a>and <a title=\"The Planned Parenthood Racism Project\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/the-planned-parenthood-racism-project\/\" target=\"_blank\">racists<\/a>. And that&#8217;s not all, because the abortion lobby has probably been helped as much by what the president hasn\u2019t done as\u00a0what he\u00a0has.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his Sandy Hook speech, President Obama spoke of the desire to protect \u201cprecious\u201d children from the moment of their \u201cvery first cry.\u201d Unfortunately, this desire hasn\u2019t been reflected in his record. As an Illinois state senator, Obama both voted and <a title=\"Listen: Barack Obama Calls Newborn Baby a &quot;Fetus Outside of the Womb&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/katiepavlich\/2012\/08\/24\/listen_barack_obama_calls_newborn_baby_a_fetus_outside_of_the_womb\" target=\"_blank\">spoke against legislation <\/a>that would have protected children who survived botched abortions. And, as president, Obama has failed to call for a federal investigation into the killing of abortion survivors\u00a0despite <a title=\"UNDER COVER IN AMERICA'S LATE TERM ABORTION INDUSTRY\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/inhuman\/\" target=\"_blank\">clear evidence <\/a>that these killings\u00a0are happening. Granted, there is some logic to this: a newborn is in most respects identical to a fetus in the later stages of gestation, and Obama has no problem with them being <a title=\"Surgical Abortions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/abortiontypes\/\" target=\"_blank\">sliced, poisoned, and pulled apart<\/a>. New research showing that they <a title=\"The First Ache\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/02\/10\/magazine\/10Fetal-t.html?_r=2&amp;oref=slogin&amp;\" target=\"_blank\">seem to feel pain<\/a> is apparently irrelevant to the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The Obama administration hasn&#8217;t just failed to protect babies. Instances in which Planned Parenthood has performed abortions to <a title=\"Connecticut Planned Parenthood Did Abortion in Sexual Abuse Coverup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2007\/08\/02\/state-2393\/\" target=\"_blank\">cover up\u00a0sexual abuse<\/a> or offered to\u00a0carry them out\u00a0on <a title=\"Caught on tape: Planned Parenthood aids pimp\u2019s underage sex ring\" href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-aids-sex-ring\/\" target=\"_blank\">underage prostitutes<\/a> has provoked no federal action either. That abusive partners routinely <a title=\"The Many Faces of Coercion\" href=\"http:\/\/afterabortion.org\/2012\/the-many-faces-of-coercion\/\" target=\"_blank\">force women <\/a>into using federally subsidized abortion services also doesn&#8217;t\u00a0seem to be\u00a0a major concern. Given that this sort of\u00a0blatant criminality is ignored, it&#8217;s no surprise that the White House doesn&#8217;t bother to criticize misogynistic celebrities like Tucker Max, who&#8217;s made a career out of &#8220;f*cking sluts&#8221; and then <a title=\"Planned Parenthood and Tucker Max \u2014 friends with benefits\" href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-and-tucker-max-friends-with-benefits\/\">convincing them to abort his children<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>President Obama might be the most visible ally of the abortion movement, but he&#8217;s far from being the only one. When Florida congressman\u00a0Cliff Sterns\u00a0called for an investigation\u00a0after\u00a0Planned Parenthood staff were video taped by Live Action offering to <a title=\"Caught on tape: Planned Parenthood aids pimp\u2019s underage sex ring\" href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-aids-sex-ring\/\" target=\"_blank\">help pimps<\/a>, he was condemned by pro-abortion\u00a0senators like Richard Blumenthal, who\u00a0accused him of planning &#8220;<a title=\"Nancy Pelosi and \u201cSacred Ground\u201d Abortions: The Inconsistent Catholic\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blumenthal.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press\/release\/senators-urge-house-subcommittee-to-drop-witch-hunt-investigation-into-ppfa-support-womens-health-\" target=\"_blank\">a witch hunt<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another member of the legislative branch who backs the abortion lobby is House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. When asked at a press conference what the moral difference was between the\u00a0murders committed\u00a0by <a title=\"PA: Gosnell House of Horrors\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/inhuman\/pa-gosnell-house-of-horrors\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kermit Gosnell<\/a>\u00a0and what takes place in a late-term abortion, <a title=\"Nancy Pelosi, Late-Term Abortion, &amp; \u2018Sacred Ground\u2019 \" href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/350997\/nancy-pelosi-late-term-abortion-sacred-ground-kathryn-jean-lopez\" target=\"_blank\">Pelosi responded<\/a>\u00a0by first declaring herself to be\u00a0&#8220;a practicing and respectful Catholic,&#8221; and then went on to refer to abortion as &#8220;sacred ground.&#8221; While I admit that I am neither Catholic nor always respectful, I find it difficult to see the sacredness in <a title=\"UNDERCOVER IN AMERICA'S LATE-TERM ABORTION INDUSTRY\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/inhuman\/\" target=\"_blank\">collapsing a child&#8217;s skull<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Abortion fans don&#8217;t just have friends in the federal government. Their support extends to the states, as well, where helping to kill the young has sometimes been a bi-partisan affair. This was the case in Pennsylvania, where Republican governor Tom Ridge took a<a title=\"Tom Ridge Ignores Responsibility for Kermit Gosnell, Attacks Pro-Lifers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2013\/10\/31\/tom-ridge-ignores-responsibility-for-kermit-gosnell-attacks-pro-lifers\/\" target=\"_blank\"> hands-off approach<\/a>\u00a0to regulating abortion facilities, thus allowing \u00a0Kermit Gosnell to kill one of his patients and operate an\u00a0infanticide business\u00a0under the radar.<\/p>\n<p>The former Republican governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson, is also\u00a0a <a title=\"Pro-Abortion Gary Johnson to Seek Republican 2012 Nomination\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2011\/04\/21\/pro-abortion-gary-johnson-to-seek-republican-2012-nomination\/\" target=\"_blank\">supporter of abortion<\/a>. During his two terms in office, Johnson did nothing to help\u00a0improve New Mexico&#8217;s abortion laws, which are among the most liberal in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s Dr. Leroy Carhart\u00a0explaining how disposing of a 26 week-old fetus is like cooking\u00a0&#8220;<a title=\"Late-Term Abortionist Carhart: Baby in the Womb like \u2018Meat\u2019 in a \u2018Slow Cooker\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/inhuman\/investigation-4-carhart\/\" target=\"_blank\">meat in a crock pot<\/a>,&#8221; or\u00a0parents who <a title=\"Sex-Selection Abortion\" href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/gendercide\/\" target=\"_blank\">abort their daughters<\/a>\u00a0because they&#8217;d rather have a boy,\u00a0those who are waging a war on <a title=\"How to wage a real war on women: Lessons from the pro-abortion crowd\" href=\"\/news\/how-to-wage-a-real-war-on-women-lessons-from-the-pro-abortion-crowd\/\" target=\"_blank\">women<\/a> and <a title=\"More lessons from the pro-abortion crowd: How to wage a war on children\" href=\"\/news\/more-lessons-from-the-pro-abortion-crowd-how-to-wage-a-war-on-children\/\" target=\"_blank\">children<\/a>\u00a0depend on the weak laws and lax enforcement that their enablers provide.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-lifers can sabotage this by continuing to support\u00a0vulnerable women\u00a0through pregnancy care centers as well as by promoting the long lines of eligible couples seeking to adopt. Further, we can\u00a0show the reality of what\u00a0our elected officials have done. Forcing them to answer for their policies is the political equivalent of declaring last call at the strip club and ending the night&#8217;s illusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve got a habit of meeting ex-strippers.
