The liberal media preach diversity and tolerance. But when it comes to abortion, they don’t walk the talk.
On Monday, Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, revealed that his party “will not withhold financial support” from pro-life candidates, The Hill reported. But the liberal media, on Twitter, translated that to mean a “betrayal of every woman” by “dumshit democrats” who can “fuck themselves.” Because, as one New Yorker writer put it, abortion should be allowed “at any point in pregnancy.”
Talk about radical.
A writer for teens, Teen Vogue Columnist, Lauren Duca began by slamming the announcement as a, “betrayal of every woman who has ever supported the Democratic party.” Guess she hasn't heard there are 21 million pro-life Democrats. Yes, that's right: 21 million who feel marginalized by their party's platform.
This is a betrayal of every woman who has ever supported the Democratic party. https://t.co/oQzgkUAoLX

Jill Filipovic, former Cosmo writer and Guardian contributor, voiced, “At some point we have to have a few hard lines. ‘Women get to decide what goes on literally inside their own bodies’ seems like a good one.” Doesn't matter if it affects another, unborn, body. For Filipovic, it's about the one, not the two.

“I think Trump proved that the people who claim to care a lot about abortion and Christian morality... don't,” she added, “And trying to cater to them on abortion is not going to work.”
Or does it? Filipovic overlooked election exit polls revealing about one in five voters considered Supreme Court appointments “the most important factor” last November. Those voters “overwhelmingly” favored Donald Trump, who promised a pro-life judge.
A fact checker for The New Yorker, Talia Lavin, worried, “Does Dem leadership then become vocally anti-abortion? I mean, I hope not.” And, shortly after, tweeted, “abortion is a human right and should be legal in any circumstance and at any point in pregnancy.” (Does she know what she's saying?)

For her part, Salon Writer Mary Beth Williams bashed, “ABORTION RIGHTS OR GTFO [Get The Fuck Out].” Forget votes. Agenda reigns.

Similarly, Elon Green, who has written for outlets like The Atlantic and The Guardian, decided, “Anti-abortion Democrats can fuck themselves.”
Rewire Senior Legal Analyst Imani Gandy went on a tirade: “How many times and how many different people have to tell these dumbshit democrats that THEY DO NOT NEED TO CONCEDE ON ABORTION RIGHTS.”

MTV Staff Writer Molly Lambert agreed that “abortion rights are non negotiable.”
“It's not acceptable,” complained Chloe Angyal, the senior front page editor for the Huffington Post. “Abortion restrictions hit poor women the hardest. The DCCC is signaling that their health, their lives, are optional.” (Speaking of lives treated as “optional,” let's start with the unborn.)
On repeat, Bitch Media Editor Andi Zeisler tweeted, “ABORTION IS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE.”

Along the same lines, Seattle Writer Hanna Brooks Olsen demanded, “It's fiscally irresponsible to oppose abortion rights. ECON POLICY MEANS SHIT IF IT DOESN'T SUPPORT CHOICE.”
As a researcher for NBC News, Erica Pishdadian added, “ There are also one-issue abortion voters on the left, who I cannot imagine would enjoy this.”
“If you're not a party who is uncompromisingly supportive of abortion access, then you're not a party who is serious about healthcare,” wrote Melissa McEwan, editor-in-chief of Shakesville.com and former Guardian contributor. Except for that “healthcare” is supposed to protect life rather than destroy life.
GQ Magazine Writer Nathaniel Friedman reacted “abortion itself gets framed as a ‘moral issue’ when the real injustice is forcing women to have kids when they aren't prepared to.” (Because ending another's life isn't an “injustice”?)

Mic Staff Writer Marcie Bianco warned, “And this is why the ONLY money I give to @TheDemocrats goes to female candidates who are pro-women and for abortion.”
A Bloomberg writer on health and food, Deena Shanker, sarcastically commented, “Dems celebrate by stomping on abortion rights. Congrats everyone!”
This isn’t the first time the feminist media have gone attack-mode on pro-life voices. In March, The New York Times published an op-ed calling on Democrats to “stop being the abortion party.” To which the feminist media responded, “fuck off.” Then, in May, they bashed yet another “bullshit” The Times pro-life op-ed by “terrorists.”
