When did abortion become something to be proud of, to celebrate, and to venerate with symbolism?

It’s not about pride - it’s about erasing the negative stigma around having an abortion. 1 in 3 women* will have an abortion - it’s okay to speak up about it!

^^ Yes. There’s nothing wrong with being proud about your abortion. Whether you shout it from the roof tops are never tell anyone it’s your story, you shouldn’t feel shamed by stigma.

^^^ yes! It is not ABOUT pride, it is about telling the world there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is telling the world you can feel however you damn well please! 1 in 3 women. Yet how many do you know who are public about it? Women are afraid to speak, and that needs to change.

Honestly I think these women should be proud. They made a difficult choice and are standing beside it and they more then deserve to feel proud of it. Speaking out about having abortion is hard and in some cases dangerous and can cost you a lot.

thereconstructionists:

Celebrated as one of the godmothers of the modern women’s liberation movement alongside reconstructionist Betty Friedan, feminist, journalist, political activist, and equality exponent Gloria Steinem (born March 25, 1934) has spent more than half a century campaigning tenaciously against a range of gender discrimination laws, championing equal treatment for men and women, and advocating for women’s reproductive rights.

A co-founder of iconic feminist magazine Ms., the National Women’s Political Caucus, and the Coalition of Labor Union Women, Steinem has been actively involved in a number of organizations promoting social reform that levels opportunities for the sexes, most recently co-founding the Women’s Media Center alongside Jane Fonda and Robin Morgan with the aim of amplifying women’s voices in a severely skewed media landscape.

With her lectures and magazine articles, Steinem has been tirelessly claiming feminism back from the grip of pontifical academic “discourse” — a word she came to particularly detest for its pedantic pretense — consistently reeling the conversation back into the real, living, public dream of a common language (to borrow from Adrienne Rich’s eloquence) where it belongs.

“The meaning of feminism hasn’t changed, but it’s deepened,” Steinem poignantly observed— a remark at once timeless and timelier than ever.

guerrillafeminism:

During WWII, Irena Sendler, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an ulterior motive.

Irena smuggled Jewish infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried. She also carried a burlap sack in the back of her truck, for larger kids.

Irena kept a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers, of course, wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

Ultimately, she was caught, however, and the Nazi’s broke both of her legs and arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she had smuggled out, in a glass jar that she buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and tried to reunite the families.

Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.
