\"Apparently

Apparently pro-choicers can’t…or won’t. (For more, see National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke<\/a>.)<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve long been struck by how the temperament and tactics of \u201crespectable\u201d pro-abortion blogs is virtually indistinguishable from the sheer lunacy of fringe, conspiratorial hate sites. And a truly demented editorial<\/a> by RH Reality Check Senior Political Reporter Andrea Grimes proves that it\u2019s not just disgruntled commenters; the writers and editors themselves are the source of the madness.<\/p>\n

When you first see her headline, \u201cStop Calling U.S. Lawmakers the \u2018Taliban,\u2019\u201d you might assume Ms. Grimes has taken a long-overdue stand against one of her side\u2019s worst exaggerations. Surely it\u2019s not too much to ask that reasonable pro-choicers admit there\u2019s no equivalence between people who disagree with them on abortion and a notorious terrorist regime?<\/p>\n

Amazingly, even that modest hope turns out to be in vain. You see, Andrea Grimes doesn’t care that \u201cAmerican Taliban\u201d is a vile, asinine slur against millions of pro-lifers who wouldn’t throw a punch much less fathom any of the Taliban\u2019s crimes. No, she frets that it\u2019s insulting\u2026to<\/em> Muslims<\/em>:<\/p>\n

These phrases aren’t clever, and they aren’t insightful. They\u2019re racist, and they\u2019re Islamophobic, and people\u2014especially white people\u2014who work in social justice movements and who do advocacy for women\u2019s rights need to stop using them\u00a0yesterday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This couldn’t be more insane. The truly awful aspect of \u201cAmerican Taliban\u201d gets a pass while the unquestionably valid part gets a five-alarm freakout:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no accident that, in\u00a0the vast and varied religio-cultural landscape of planet Earth, which offers no shortage of examples of misogynist ideologies, Americans choose \u201cTaliban\u201d when they want to try and insult right-wing lawmakers, and try to incite their fellow citizens to action against those lawmakers. Because 9\/11. Because the war in Iraq. Because racism. Because brown people from the Middle East are, more than any other people, the \u201cbaddies\u201d right now in American culture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or it could be, y\u2019know, that the Taliban is a real-world group comprised of real-life theocrats who practice actual oppression. What it evokes are not myths or stereotypes, but atrocities that were really carried out by people\u2026pay attention here\u2026called the Taliban<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuslim\u201d and \u201cTaliban\u201d are no more interchangeable than \u201cGerman\u201d and \u201cNazi,\u201d \u201cAfrican American\u201d and \u201cBlack Panther,\u201d or \u201cDemocrat\u201d and \u201cKu Klux Klan<\/a>.\u201d In fact, Grimes\u2019 position would come as a shock to Muslims themselves, considering those living under their rule or in their crosshairs were the Taliban’s primary victims<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also see another side to the \u201cAmerican Taliban\u201d rhetoric, one that\u2019s not just racist and Islamophobic but misogynist, one that is about a certain kind of fetishization of the oppression of women of color, about the kind of subconscious work a phrase like \u201cAmerican Taliban\u201d or \u201cTexas Taliban\u201d does for white people: it titillates us, allowing us to imagine ourselves as beneficent saviors of brown-skinned damsels in distress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uh, Andrea? \u201cFetishization of the oppression of [Insert Minority Here]\u201d and \u201ctitillating savior fantasy\u201d describe to a T the mission of the modern\u00a0pseudo-feminist movement<\/a>, RH Reality Check, and half of your own column<\/em>. Years of covering content like this has\u00a0taught me to imagine quite a bit, but the idea that nobody<\/em> in this article\u2019s review process noticed the irony is stretching my suspension of disbelief to the breaking point.<\/p>\n

We can imagine that woman being oppressed in the way we\u00a0expect\u00a0her to be oppressed, and imagine ourselves\u2014Americans wielding lipstick and high heels\u2014as liberators. As if beauty products and fashionable shoes were unknown to Muslim women, and as if wearing lipstick got us government-mandated parental leave, and high heels have earned American women equal pay for equal work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have no idea how far down the rabbit hole you have to go to hallucinate subtexts this convoluted. Frankly, the only thing keeping this from being the month\u2019s craziest attempt to find nonexistent bigotry is that it happened to drop the day after a column about the secret racist messages in Thomas the Tank Engine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

When a white person cries \u201cTexas Taliban!\u201d or \u201cAmerican Taliban!\u201d what they\u2019re saying is \u201cI thought only brown people deserved to be oppressed.\u201d They\u2019re saying, \u201cMy whiteness was supposed to insulate me from things like this.\u201d They\u2019re saying, \u201cI\u2019m afraid\u2014for my privilege.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So\u2026she\u2019s saying her fellow pro-choicers are racist? Kinda kneecaps their moral authority to lecture us about our own alleged prejudices, though I doubt Grimes thought that far ahead.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to try and incite fear that right-wing lawmakers are going to turn America into an extremist Islamic theocracy when they\u2019re doing just fine turning it into an extremist Christian theocracy [\u2026] We need to ask\u00a0ourselves: What\u2019s wrong with our own American Christianity that we are unable to face the very real fact that we are perfectly capable of using our own Christian traditions to oppress the most vulnerable among us?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What\u2019s wrong with our own American pro-choice movement that we are unable to face the very real fact that we are perfectly capable of using scientific<\/a> evidence<\/a>, not Christian dogma, to protect the most vulnerable among us?<\/p>\n

People\u00a0know what they\u2019re\u00a0doing when they\u00a0say \u201cTexas Taliban\u201d or \u201cAmerican Taliban.\u201d Everybody else does, too. That\u2019s why they\u00a0say it in the first place: They\u00a0want to make clear that when\u00a0American lawmakers\u00a0are bad, they\u2019re imitating\u00a0brown men\u00a0on the other side of the world, where the\u00a0\u201creal\u201d\u00a0oppression happens. The word \u201cTaliban\u201d conjures up images of brown men wearing turbans, and brown women wearing burkas. Nevermind the fact that white, male Americans are doing just fine at oppressing women with bibles at their right hand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I cannot imagine reading a more complete, more self-centered, more embarrassing lack of perspective within the next year. Prohibiting abortions, tightening medical regulations, and respecting Americans\u2019 right to choose what they subsidize constitute \u201cextremist Christian theocracy\u201d on par with what you\u2019d find in the Middle East. Grimes even goes out of her way to mock criticism of the comparison by putting\u00a0scare quotes in \u201cwhere the \u2018real\u2019 oppression happens.”<\/p>\n

Translation: Either let us kill children here, or you\u2019re just as bad as those who kill<\/a> children<\/a> over<\/a> there<\/a>. Either let us fine out of business anyone whose benefit packages don\u2019t conform to our morality, or you\u2019re in the same category as those who kill people for having socially-disapproved sex<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Suicide-bombing churches. Stoning women for alleged adultery. Bans on teaching girls and employing women. Genital mutilation. Dropping walls on gays. Ethnic cleansing. Executing apostates from Islam. Prison time for selling unapproved books. Turning villages to ash.<\/p>\n

This is just a sampling<\/a> of the hell<\/a> the Taliban put millions of people through<\/a>. What real patriarchy, real misogyny, real oppression, real theocracy, real homophobia, real morality police, and a real War on Women look like. What it\u2019s really like to live without choice or privacy.<\/p>\n

Andrea, why don’t you do a Google Image Search for “Taliban victims” and get back to us on whether the results remind you of a pro-life demonstration?<\/p>\n

To have delusional, hate-filled narcissists cry oppression at resistance to their greedy, domineering agenda is akin to five-year-olds screaming that having to clean up their room is torture. The only difference is, five-year-olds at least have the excuse of not knowing anything about genuine torture.<\/p>\n

Well, the five-year-olds who didn\u2019t grow up under the real Taliban, anyway.<\/p>\n

The difference between Islamofascist tyranny and pro-lifers\u2019 peaceful campaign to save the unborn and defend religious liberty isn’t complicated. There is no reasonable, sincere case to be made that they\u2019re in the same moral universe\u2014least of all from those in favor of<\/em> shedding innocent blood<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Any honorable writer would never type such dreck. Any ethical website would be embarrassed to publish it. And any rational reader would be appalled to see it written on behalf of a common cause. But the pro-abortion movement is none of the above. Tellingly, none of the article\u2019s almost fifty comments express discomfort with the slander, but most of them hysterically defend their use of \u201cAmerican Taliban.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrea Grimes has inadvertently done the pro-life movement a great service by proving that she, RHRC, and the community they serve represent unadulterated fanaticism\u2014animated by ego, dismissive\u00a0to facts, and united in hate.<\/p>\n
