Ms. Magazine Releasing Fall Issue Next Week With Cover Story Titled "We Had Abortions"
So, these sick chicks are actually going through with it:
NEW YORK (AP) - At a pivotal time in the abortion debate, Ms. magazine is releasing its fall issue next week with a cover story titled "We Had Abortions," accompanied by the names of thousands of women nationwide who signed a petition making that declaration.My Comments:
The publication coincides with what the abortion-rights movement considers a watershed moment for its cause. Abortion access in many states is being curtailed, activists are uncertain about the stance of the U.S. Supreme Court, and South Dakotans vote Nov. 7 on a measure that would ban virtually all abortions in their state, even in cases of rape and incest.
"All this seems very dire," said Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation, which publishes Ms.
"We have to get away from what the politicians are saying," she said, "and get women's lives back in the picture."
Even before the issue reaches newsstands Oct. 10, anti-abortion activists have been decrying it. Judie Brown, president of the American Life League, wrote in a commentary that when she saw a Ms. announcement of the project, "the evil practically jumped right off the page."
Ms. executive editor Katherine Spillar said more than 5,000 women have signed the petition so far - heeding its appeal to declare they are unashamed of the choice they made. The magazine itself had room for only 1,016 names, she said Tuesday, but all of them will be viewable online as Ms. encourages other women to continue adding their signatures.

My guess is this is going to hurt rather than help their cause. Look for a backlash in flyover country (places like South Dakota, for example). People generally don't look kindly upon those who are brazen about killing their kids.

But how influential is Ms. now (especially in "flyover country")?
Gloria Steinem strikes again!
The mag isn't going to be "influential" in flyover country, but word of a feminist mag with a bunch of women proudly proclaiming their abortions is likely to get out in a place like South Dakota where abortion is the hot topic.
You are right about them hurting themselves instead of helping their “cause”. The numbers of abortions in this country are astronomical, especially in comparison to number of women claiming it was a good decision to have one. When only a few thousand speak out, compared to the 80,000+ abortions a month, something isn’t matching up there considering it isn’t even 1% of the abortion having population.
