Murderous Feminism

I cannot believe what I have just read. Antonia Senior has written a piece for The Times of London in favor of killing human beings in order to further the Feminist cause. I am not kidding. This is what she wrote. You might think it a joke or a hoax, but it’s not. The article appears in a column in a major newspaper and is meant to be taken seriously.

Here’s her argument in a nutshell. As a pro-choice feminist, Senior says she had always believed that an unborn child was not a life but a potential life. That was her belief until she finally had her own child. After giving birth to her own little girl, her view of the personhood of the unborn changed. In her own words:

“What seems increasingly clear to me is that, in the absence of an objective definition, a foetus is a life by any subjective measure. My daughter was formed at conception, and all the barely understood alchemy that turned the happy accident of that particular sperm meeting that particular egg into my darling, personality-packed toddler took place at that moment. She is so unmistakably herself, her own person — forged in my womb, not by my mothering.

“Any other conclusion is a convenient lie that we on the pro-choice side of the debate tell ourselves to make us feel better about the action of taking a life. That little seahorse shape floating in a willing womb is a growing miracle of life. In a resentful womb it is not a life, but a foetus — and thus killable.”

Astonishingly, even though she concedes that an unborn baby is a human life, she says that killing a baby is sometimes the lesser of two evils. Feminism’s commitment to reproductive freedom and “fertility control” is more important than an unborn baby’s life. It would be more evil to surrender Feminism than to kill a human life. In her own words:

“The answer lies in choosing the lesser evil. The nearly 200,000 aborted babies in the UK each year are the lesser evil, no matter how you define life, or death, for that matter. If you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.”

If you don’t think that this is the logical consequence of 3rd wave Feminist ideology, then you don’t understand Feminism. Such Feminists on both sides of the pond believe that a woman’s “right to choose” is more important than another person’s right to life. This is the logic of death, and it is why over 50 million unborn humans have been legally killed in America since 1973.

    This infuriates me and makes me even more frustrated with “evangelicals” that were happy to vote for Obama last election…

    These ideologies lead to death.

    While I am infuriated, I should not be surprised. Peoples minds are depraved, wicked, and completely self-absorbed. This lady needs Jesus, badly. Just like me. She is on a path to eternal death, may God give her life!

    Donald, according to some people, the answer is a definite “yes”, to your question.

    From this article (http://snipurl.com/yn324):
    “Having children is selfish. It’s all about maintaining your genetic line at the expense of the planet,” says Toni Vernelli, 35.

    That’s the difference with Christianity, we’re willing (or should be) to die for our faith, while feminists, radical liberals, and Muslims are willing to kill for theirs.
