No, I didn’t kill my baby…but that’s basically the headline of the Ms. magazine coming out next week. We have this nugget of joy from the Associated Press, sent out as a wire story all over the planet.

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.

See, in South Dakota they’re voting to outlaw abortion entirely, so the AP has to respond. How does the AP respond? By hyping an upcoming issue of a feminazi magazine. Most folks don’t even know what Ms. is…because no one talks about it. A few on the fringe read it, but mainstream America doesn’t give a flip about Ms. Magazine. Nonetheless, these are dire times for pro-abortion people. The media must do its part. Note that the whole paragraph is the words of the reporter, not of an interviewee.

“We have to get away from what the politicians are saying,” she said, “and get women’s lives back in the picture.”

That’s a quote from the President of the Feminist Majority, who publishes Ms. Note through the rest of the article how careful they are to only get certain women’s lives “back into the picture,” and how others aren’t paid much attention at all.

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.

Not only must we permit abortion on demand, we must be proud of it? Seems to me that the only reason a woman would sign this would be that she’s so ashamed of her decision that she needs to abate the shame by placing herself shoulder to shoulder with 4,999 other women who did it. Strength in numbers and all that. Really sad. Essentially, “I’m proud that I murdered my baby.”

The signatories include Ms. founder Gloria Steinem, comedian Carol Leifer, and actresses Kathy Najimy and Amy Brenneman, but most are not famous names.

Then why even list them? And, through the rest of the article, look at how the other women who are focused on are “successful” women by the feminist movement’s standards. No women who were working the fryolator and had no chance of supporting their baby. How about this – no women who were raped and impregnated as a result and “needed” an abortion. Hmm.

Jones said she got an abortion 10 years ago — enduring harassment from protesters when she entered the clinic — in order to finish high school. She went on to become the first member of her family to graduate from college, and hopes at some point to attend law school.

Good thing, because I have never heard of any programs for women who have babies to help them get their high school degree. Surely that baby’s quality of life would have been terrible, and was worth a lot less than Jones’s “hope” to attend law school. That’s just spin. Tell me that she actually attended law school, not that she hopes to. Oh, by the way, if you’re pregnant, the high school won’t take you if they find out you give up your baby for adoption.

Another signatory, Debbie Findling of San Francisco, described her difficult decision last year to have an abortion after tests showed that she would bear a son with Down syndrome.

As we all know, such a test is always 100% accurate. And I know that there are no childless couples out there who would want to adopt a Down syndrome baby.

Findling, 42, is married, with a 5-year-old daughter, and has been trying to get pregnant again while pursuing her career as a philanthropic foundation executive.

Two interesting things here. First, I fear for any baby she might conceive, because if it isn’t perfect, it’ll be murdered too. Second, I wonder if it’s possible that permanent damage was done to her reproductive system by the abortion? No, silly me, that never happens.

She says too many of her allies in the abortion-rights movement tend to minimize, at least publicly, the psychological impact of abortion.

“It’s emotionally devastating,” she said in a phone interview. “I don’t regret my decision — but I regret having been put in the position to have to make that choice. It’s something I’ll live with for the rest of my life.”

This is the first line in the whole article that makes sense. Too bad more time isn’t spent on the psychological impact. Still, though, this woman needs to carefully consider her words. If she was in the position to have to make a choice, then she had 2 choices. She made one choice. That wasn’t the choice she had to make.

Thanks to the Associated Press for doing their part to promote the culture of death this evening!
