Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a Pro-Life Republican

Stupid is as stupid does.

Our quote is 'Stupid is as stupid does.'

Epic Fail.

The new Palin-hater blog - Women Against Sarah Palin - has chosen a hilariously inappropriate quote for its masthead. Why? It's from Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and reads "Come, come, my conservative friend, wipe the dew off your spectacles, and see that the world is moving."

The problem is that like Governor Palin, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was opposed to abortion and favored the Republican Party. Perhaps the "conservatives" in the current situation are the hidebound feminists who can't see past a 40-year-old defunct-and-debunked Marxist political framework that has little to do with today's Americans, female or male.

Ding! Exactly! I noticed that too. Once again, the left didn’t do its research.

Please. Painting Stanton as a religious pro-life conservative? Hardly.

This was a woman who said, “the Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women’s emancipation.”

She also argued that the “whole tone of Church teaching in regard to women is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading.”

Perhaps we can recognize that her message transcended the petty partisan politics that is indicated by this post, and that her message is owned by women everywhere, not by liberals or conservatives.

I didn’t mention religion – you did. So your religion quotes are pointless.

Unlike several other 19th C. womens’ rights leaders, Elizabeth Cady Stanton most certainly opposed abortion – she considered it little better than infanticide and wrote about it at length. Also, she most certainly associated with the Republican Party. As those two points are the ones most lefty feminists specifically identify as the most unsavory about Sarah Palin, the choice of Stanton for the quote suggests ignorance and arrogance on the part of the chooser.

Thanks for playing.
