Why Do Pro-Abortion Groups Seem Fixated on Rage?

This week Planned Parenthood Action Fund published an invitation for volunteers under the heading, “Our Rage Will Be Heard.”

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and the Action Fund contributes to candidates and other causes that align with Planned Parenthood’s mission.

The statement is just the latest example of pro-abortion groups encouraging people to turn to “rage.”

In May of 2022, the pro-abortion Women’s March announced that its “summer of rage is officially beginning” as many anticipated the reversal of Roe v. Wade.

After the court reversed Roe, fringe groups like Jane’s Revenge praised abortion activists who vandalized pro-life charities during the so-called “Night of Rage.”

Last year the Arkansas Abortion Support Network hosted a fundraiser letting people smash a car and other items. An invitation to the event said, “bring your rage, some enthusiasm for smashing, and a desire to fund abortion.”

Webster’s Dictionary defines “rage” as primarily “violent and uncontrolled anger;” “a fit of violent wrath;” or “violent action.”

Rage really has no place in democracy and civil discourse. Uncontrollable anger and violent wrath won’t lead to the kinds of changes anyone wants. Rage is destructive.

That belief has generally informed Family Council’s approach to defending the sanctity of human life. We oppose abortion. We agree with stopping abortion through any legal means. But we’ve never utilized the more aggressive tactics that some groups use.

Ten years ago it would have seemed ridiculous to say the pro-abortion movement thrives on “rage.” Unfortunately today it seems major pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood do exactly that.

Pro-LGBT Organization Criticizes Arkansas, Says “There is no more room for neutrality.”

LGBT, , ,

On Monday the pro-LGBT organization Out Leadership released a report claiming Arkansas set “the lowest score ever recorded” in its 2024 State LGBTQ+ Business Climate Index.

Out Leadership is a pro-LGBT organization whose goal is to “harness the power of business to advocate for equality.” The group leverages multimillion dollar corporations to promote its pro-LGBT ideology.

Monday’s report took issue with different laws and policies that states like Arkansas have passed — including laws protecting children from sex-change procedures and preserving fairness in women’s sports.

In a statement, Out Leadership said, “There is no more room for neutrality” on LGBT issues.

The truth is sex-change surgeries and procedures can leave children sterilized and scarred for life.

Researchers do not know all the long-term effects these procedures can have on children, but a growing body of scientific evidence shows children should not be subjected to sex-change procedures, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. That is why a growing number of states protect children from these procedures.

We have written repeatedly about how women’s athletics is at risk of being erased in America.

In particular, female cyclists, swimmers, powerlifters, sprinters, and others have seen their sports radically changed by biological males who identify and compete as women.

Letting men compete in women’s sports reverses 50 years of advancements for women. In some sports, it can even be dangerous.

Medical experts and everyday Americans increasingly agree that children need to be protected from sex-change procedures and that we need to preserve fairness in women’s sports. Unfortunately, there are still powerful, corporate interests who simply do not agree.
