Fiercely Feminist NPR Heralds Abortion Comedy As 'Momentous' Movie, 'S
As suspected, there is no more favorable publicity outlet for an “abortion comedy” like NPR. On the June 13 Fresh Air, film critic David Edelstein loved the concept in Obvious Child.
“It shouldn't be a particularly earth-shaking turn, but in a world of rom-coms like Knocked Up and Juno, in which the heroines make the heartwarming decision to go ahead with their pregnancies, this modest…

I Saw ‘Obvious Child.’ It Didn’t Help
Yes, I saw it.
When “Obvious Child” hit theaters this month, conservatives were aghast the media glorified it – without irony – as an “abortion romantic comedy.” Liberals lashed back, claiming, like the movie’s Director Gillian Robespierre, that "[Conservatives bashing Obvious Child] haven't seen the movie; they're basing it on articles and trailers."
That defense is bogus. We are, after…

'Abortion Comedy' Director Hates Fox News: 'Those People’s Heads Tal
Gillian Robespierre, the feminist director of the abortion comedy Obvious Child, is not a fan of Fox News, as she revealed in an interview with Matt Juul Wednesday in the Boston Globe.

Ridiculous: WashPost Feminist Film Critic Claims Abortion Comedy May B
After several tantrums about how movies with keep-the-baby messages spread “consoling fictions,” Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday was duty-bound to adore the “abortion comedy” Obvious Child, but did she have to embarrass herself by insisting it “may be the most pro-life movie of the year”?
Somehow, the movie Juno presented abortion as a “non-option,” but Hornaday loves a movie where…
MSNBC's Irin Carmon Blasts Bipartisan Louisiana Abortion Law

Live Action Video: Planned Parenthood Instructs Minors on ‘Torture S
Let’s pretend – just for a moment – to believe Planned Parenthood when the nation’s largest abortion mill maintains that the taxpayer money it receives doesn’t go toward the abortion side of its business. We’re still left with the following question:
How much of the $540.6 million in government grants Planned Parenthood received in 2013 went to educate teens on the pleasures of “torture sex…
ACLU Director Says Movie ‘Makes Abortion Funny
That statement should offend both sides: not only those who oppose abortion but also those who abort (after all, if it wasn’t difficult, why the “not in her shoes” mantra?). But not so for the media – abortion is the very definition of “funny,” in The Washington Post’s latest piece.
The Washington Post recently published American Civil Liberties Union Deputy Legal Director Louise Messing’s…
CNN Promotes Anti-Catholic Feminist Amanda Marcotte's Rebuke of Pope F
On Friday's CNN Newsroom, Kyra Phillips boosted the latest musing of feminist blogger Amanda Marcotte, who deplored Pope Francis's recent advice to married couples to have children instead of going childless and owning pets instead.

Media Drive Hype on ‘Abortion Comedy’ as Planned Parenthood, NARAL
Finally, a movie that presents the murder of an innocent as the laugh riot it is!

Planned Parenthood Boss Making More Than $500,000 a Year
