The Gist
The author argues that feminist groups like March On PAC are hypocrites because they support a Senate candidate accused of abusing women, just because he supports abortion rights. This proves they care more about abortion access than actually protecting women from harm.
Conclusion
Modern feminist groups prioritize abortion access over protecting women, as evidenced by their support for politicians accused of abusing women
Premises
- March On PAC endorsed Graham Platner despite allegations of emotional and physical abuse toward ex-girlfriends
- The group justified their endorsement solely based on Platner's support for abortion rights, dismissing abuse allegations
- Democrats and feminist allies quickly dismissed the abuse allegations to protect Platner's candidacy
- Progressive feminism historically repackaged abortion as pro-women during the sexual revolution, creating the foundation for the abortion industry
- Abortion causes mental, physical, and emotional devastation to women, contradicting claims it helps them
- Data shows women with husbands and children are happier than those pursuing careers and 'glass ceiling' breaking
Assumptions
- Abortion inherently harms women physically, mentally, and emotionally
- Traditional family structures (marriage and children) are objectively better for women's wellbeing
- The allegations against Platner are credible and represent genuine abuse
- Feminist groups should prioritize protecting women from abuse over political goals
- Modern feminism has been corrupted from its original purpose of helping women
