Alice Paul\u2019s birthday was celebrated earlier this month. Born in 1885, Paul was a feminist icon whose career spanned two continents.<\/p>\n

Like many of her peers<\/a>, she opposed abortion, calling it \u201cexploitation.\u201d Her main struggle, however, was over voting rights. A century ago, some felt women simply couldn\u2019t handle political arguments, but thankfully such backward, paternalistic ideas can now only be found in history books…\u00a0and on Tumblr<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"PSA\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe space\u201d feminists seem to think that women, much like small children or kittens, are traumatized by intellectual debate and need to be protected from it. Considering the ladies in my life range from attorneys to war vets, I\u2019m a little skeptical about this. I\u2019m also skeptical about disagreement being \u201ca slippery slope to misogyny and abuse.\u201d I know something that is, though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood is America\u2019s largest abortion chain<\/a>, performing over three hundred thousand abortions every year. Its staff aren\u2019t too picky about who they perform them on, either. In 2014, a Colorado clinic employee admitted under oath that \u201cbeing thirteen and pregnant alone is not a red flag<\/a>.\u201d Timothy Smith discovered this<\/a> when he brought his 13 year-old stepdaughter there after getting her pregnant. When the evidence was gone, the abuse resumed.<\/p>\n

Gary Cross<\/a> also visited Planned Parenthood after his wife noticed that her 13-year-old daughter was gaining weight. Once again, staff set up an abortion instead of contacting the authorities. Cross went back to raping the girl when they were done.<\/p>\n

Denise Fairbanks\u2019<\/a>\u00a0father went to Planned Parenthood for help, too. So did fellow child predators John Blanks, Jr.<\/a>, Adam Gault<\/a>, Joseph Coles<\/a>, Kevon Walker<\/a>, Edgar Ramirez<\/a>, and Grey David Woods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alleged Arizona serial rapist Tyler Kost apparently got a hand without even knowing it. When a teenage victim went to Planned Parenthood, a staffer said that reporting the rape would involve too much paperwork. Local law enforcement have indicated an investigation could have been opened \u201cmonths before<\/a>\u201d if the report had been filed.<\/p>\n

But a trip to Planned Parenthood isn\u2019t just a good way to avoid rape charges; it can also get you out of having to pay child support. That\u2019s why you can find this sort<\/a> of advice from “bro-choicers” on the web:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, not every woman can be convinced. Many are swayed by things like fetal pain research<\/a> or the links between abortion and suicide<\/a>, so some men use violence instead of arguments. There\u2019s evidence that more than half<\/a> of women who abort feel pressured to do so. Women have been shot<\/a>, stabbed<\/a>, bludgeoned<\/a>, burned<\/a> and smothered<\/a> for refusing abortion, which might help explain why the CDC lists homicide as a leading cause<\/a> of death during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood\u2019s political friends aren\u2019t overly concerned. When legislation<\/a> was proposed in Texas requiring that abortion facilities offer a private room equipped with a telephone to contact law enforcement, NARAL Pro-Choice Texas condemned the idea<\/a> as \u201cnot needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you want to help stop \u201cmisogyny and abuse,\u201d then here\u2019s something you can do: tell Congress<\/a> you want Planned Parenthood\u2019s half billion<\/a> in annual funding redirected to federally qualified health centers<\/a> (FQHC) instead. With more than nine thousand locations nationwide, FQHC are a more accessible<\/a> option for those in need of care. Unlike Planned Parenthood<\/a>, FQHCs provided women over five hundred thousand<\/a> mammograms last year. What didn\u2019t they do? Help cover up rape.<\/p>\n

If they were alive today, I don\u2019t think many feminist pioneers would want to be shielded from conflicting opinions. Rather, shutting down an outfit that aids pedophiles and abusive partners sounds a lot closer to their style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
