<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">Megyn Kelly</a> slammed NOW (National Organization for Women) when the group threw its support behind &#8220;trans women in sports,&#8221; claiming there was &#8220;enough space&#8221; for biological women to share.
The host of &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; podcast took to <a href="https://twitter.com/megynkelly/status/1774812349796384872?s=20">X</a> on Monday and wrote, &#8220;Hey<a href="https://twitter.com/NationalNOW"> [National NOW]</a> — you don&#8217;t stand for us, understand us, care about us or speak for us. Go F yourselves.&#8221;
Kelly&#8217;s comments were in response to a post from NOW &#8211; that claims to speak for women &#8211; in which the group blasted an <a href="https://apnews.com/article/transgender-lia-thomas-swimming-lawsuit-b7df63108a03100f36b2e4364d585cdc">Associated Press</a> article about how more than a dozen &#8220;College swimmers, volleyball players&#8221; were suing &#8220;NCAA over transgender policies&#8221; and violating their Title IX rights.
&#8220;Repeat after us: Weaponizing womenhood against other women is white supremacist patriarchy at work,&#8221; NOW&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/NationalNOW/status/1774442033781805299">post</a> read. 
&#8220;Making people believe there isn&#8217;t enough space for trans women in sports is white supremacist patriarchy at work,&#8221; it added.
Reading through the comments under the NOW <a href="https://x.com/NationalNOW/status/1774442033781805299?s=20">post</a>, a number of people made it clear they didn&#8217;t agree that trans-identifying male athletes should be allowed to compete against women in sports.
&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe I worked here when I was in college. I&#8217;m embarrassed for you,&#8221; one person <a href="https://twitter.com/JenniferSey/status/1774602667014099345">wrote</a>. &#8220;The patriarchy is telling women to sit down and shut up and accept whatever unfairness and invasion of privacy is hurled their way.&#8221;

Another <a href="https://twitter.com/freyafirst/status/1774517659851472937">added</a>, &#8220;Repeat after me: Women are Adult Human Females. Men are Adult Human Males. There are only 2 sexes.  This is reality.&#8221;
While a third <a href="https://twitter.com/AJKayWriter/status/1774570188123599309">wrote</a>, &#8220;No. I don&#8217;t repeat lies. Women&#8217;s sports were created to carve out space for women where there was none. And now you&#8217;re defending the infiltration of that space by men. &#8216;Making space&#8217; for men means the space disappears. Repeat that.&#8221;
In the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/transgender-lia-thomas-swimming-lawsuit-b7df63108a03100f36b2e4364d585cdc">lawsuit,</a> the college girls state that the reason they joined the suit is &#8220;to secure for future generations of women the promise of Title IX that is being denied them and other college women&#8221; by the NCAA.
The NCAA has since responded to the suit in a statement that read, &#8220;College sports are the premier stage for women&#8217;s sports in America, and while the NCAA does not comment on pending litigation, the Association and its members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in women&#8217;s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA championships.&#8221;

Womens groups that came out in force to support Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in leveling her unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, are nowhere to be seen now that a sexual assault allegation has been leveled at former Vice President &#8212; and presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee &#8212; Joe Biden.
<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-have-womens-groups-gone-dead-silent-on-biden-assault-accusation">The Daily Beast</a> attempted to contact 10 women&#8217;s rights organizations, including Planned Parenthood, NARAL, Emily&#8217;s List, the National Organization for Women, and others to get their comments on Tara Reade&#8217;s claim that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her while she worked as an aide in his Senate office in the early 1990s. Reade made the claim several years ago and repeated it on a progressive podcast earlier in April.
Reade has little to prove her allegations, but does have some evidence that she gave contemporaneous accounts of the attack to her brother, coworker, and neighbor, all of whom seem to substantiate Reade&#8217;s story. Reade&#8217;s mother, who has since passed away, cannot directly corroborate Reade&#8217;s claims, but in a newly resurfaced tape from the mid-1990s, a woman, believed to be Reade&#8217;s mother, can be heard asking a &#8220;Larry King Live&#8221; panel how to handle a powerful man in Washington with whom her daughter had an &#8220;issue&#8221; &#8212; and whether to bring that issue to authorities.
The Daily Beast says all ten organizations refused comment.
&#8220;The Daily Beast contacted 10 top national pro-women organizations for this story, including Emily’s List, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and the National Organization for Women,&#8221; the outlet reported Wednesday. &#8220;Most organizations did not respond to a detailed request for comment about the allegation by Tara Reade, a former staff assistant in Biden’s Senate office who has accused the former vice president of forcibly penetrating her with his fingers in the early 1990s. Others replied and did not provide a statement.&#8221;
&#8220;One prominent women’s political group cited a scheduling conflict and asked to be kept &#8216;in mind for other opportunities!&#8217; When pressed if the following day would work better, an associate said it would not, citing another scheduling conflict,&#8221; the Daily Beast continued.
The outlet labeled the incident a &#8220;near-total lack of acknowledgement.&#8221;
The code of silence extends to Biden&#8217;s slate of potential running mates. The <a href="https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fpolitics%2Fdemocrats-react-to-biden-accusations-with-pleas-for-an-explanation--or-silence%2F2020%2F04%2F28%2Fb07ff9da-8967-11ea-ac8a-fe9b8088e101_story.html&amp;data=02%7C01%7CSGuest%40gop.com%7C4494aa8ca5ac4ea1355308d7ec568c3e%7C4a082c81950a410d9618462a9c74d6ae%7C1%7C0%7C637237728769026688&amp;sdata=2uwkjdSn04nxmgAF0xdzsWVNR7P3wpd%2F5Dy8LhJxA6E%3D&amp;reserved=0">Washington Post</a> reports that despite several recent appearances on network news programs, neither Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), nor Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) have commented on Reade&#8217;s allegations.
Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NOW, and Emily&#8217;s List were all actively involved in anti-Kavanaugh efforts and held near-constant protests outside of the U.S. Capitol, and in <a href="https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/sacramento/organizations-host-vigil-for-sexual-assault-survivors-protest-against-kavanaugh/103-600978753">a number of state capitals</a>, during Kavanaugh&#8217;s confirmation hearings. Planned Parenthood was one of the primary sponsors behind the final &#8220;Cancel Kavanaugh&#8221; protest that drew out celebrities like Amy Schumer and Whoopi Goldberg, among thousands of other demonstrators.

Women's March

Two of the most prominent women&#8217;s rights groups are now at odds &#8212; and in full crisis mode &#8212; over whether to continue supporting the Women&#8217;s March following two major exposés accusing March leadership of embracing racism and anti-Semitism.
The National Organization of Women, one of the nation&#8217;s oldest feminist organizations, announced Monday that while they will assist the Women&#8217;s March with organization and will participate tangentially in the March itself in January, they will no longer be providing any kind of financial support to the Women&#8217;s March until key Women&#8217;s March leaders &#8212; including Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Tamika Mallory &#8212; answer accusations raised by Tablet Magazine and The New York Times.
&#8220;NOW will continue to support the Women&#8217;s March Unity Principles, and we will participate and organize members to attend the March,&#8221; NOW president Toni Van Pelt said in a statement, <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/31/womens-march-anti-semitism-charges-split-planned-p/">according to The Washington Times</a>. &#8220;However, we will withhold direct financial support until the current questions regarding leadership are resolved.&#8221;
The statement echoes the sentiments of some of NOW&#8217;s state- and city-level chapters, including NOW Baton Rouge, which announced on Monday that it was canceling a Women&#8217;s March sister march in New Orleans, Louisiana, over accusations that Mallory, Sarsour, and Perez expressed anti-Semitic views during March organization meetings and helped push Jewish women out of leadership roles within the March organization.
But not all feminist organizations are jumping off the bandwagon. Planned Parenthood, the nation&#8217;s largest pro-abortion group, <a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2018/12/219336/planned-parenthood-womens-march-2019-womens-wave">told Refinery29 this week</a> that they intend on sticking by the March, come what may, because the March itself is so important that it doesn&#8217;t matter if the March&#8217;s core leadership has issues with intersectionality.
&#8220;Over the last two years, we&#8217;ve seen unprecedented attacks on our health and rights from the Trump-Pence administration,&#8221; a senior communications official from Planned Parenthood told Refinery29 in a statement. &#8220;The Women&#8217;s March has become a symbol of our collective resistance to these damaging and discriminatory policies and Planned Parenthood is proud to once again, join our progressive partners for the #WomensWave mobilization to protect and advance the progress we&#8217;ve made as a movement dedicated to equity and justice for all people.&#8221;
Notice, though, that the statement makes only a tangential reference to the March itself, and focuses largely on the Trump administration and a larger feminist movement unaffiliated with Sarsour, Mallory, and Perez (as well as Women&#8217;s March leader Bob Bland). That&#8217;s because Planned Parenthood has been struggling with the issue in the background for some time, and their support for the Women&#8217;s March may be less stable than it appears.
Just days before issuing this statement, Planned Parenthood&#8217;s president, Leana Wen, hedged on her own support for the Women&#8217;s March, telling the same outlet, Refinery29, that she was &#8220;consulting&#8221; with PP&#8217;s leadership on the issue: &#8220;We are working on it with all of our partners and we will have more information for you as our as our collaboration and our work goes on.&#8221;
Refinery29 reported on their own dealings with Planned Parenthood over the issue, revealing an organization in crisis.
<blockquote>
The announcement appears to follow weeks of internal discussion at Planned Parenthood about the organization&#8217;s future involvement with the Women&#8217;s March. When Refinery29 first asked Wen about the controversies and whether it would remain a partner and sponsor of the Women&#8217;s March during a Nov. 30 interview, a spokeswoman interjected and said she would need to follow up with additional information to avoid speaking out of turn. After that interview, that spokeswoman said she was not able to provide an update on the record. On Dec. 12, ahead of publishing the full interview with Wen, Refinery29 contacted the spokeswoman to ask if a decision had been made. That spokeswoman called and asked to speak off-the-record about the organization&#8217;s plan. Less than an hour later, after learning in a subsequent call that Refinery29 intended to write a separate piece on any updates regarding Planned Parenthood&#8217;s future involvement in the Women&#8217;s March, the spokeswoman declined to provide an on-the-record comment.
</blockquote>
That&#8217;s quite a mess of crisis communications.

NOW And Planned Parenthood MELT DOWN Over Whether To Stand By Anti-Semitic Women’s March Leaders

Anti-Semitism

Linda Sarsour

While critics of last weekend&#8217;s &#8220;Women&#8217;s March&#8221; disparage the parade as the most frivolous protest in the history of the world, pussyhat-clad harpies have responded by shrieking profanities. As the historian David McCullough observes, &#8220;To write well is to think therefore,&#8221; and so the Women&#8217;s March vapid mission statement flows as incoherently as one might expect:
<blockquote>
The mission of Women&#8217;s March is to harness the political power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative social change. Women&#8217;s March is a women-led movement providing intersectional education on a diverse range of issues and creating entry points for new grassroots activists &amp; organizers to engage in their local communities through trainings, outreach programs and events. Women&#8217;s March is committed to dismantling systems of oppression through nonviolent resistance and building inclusive structures guided by self-determination, dignity and respect.
</blockquote>
When the organizers tire of platitudinous vacuity, they settle into the more traditional feminist enterprise of peddling outright falsehoods by insinuating that various rights and privileges are being trampled in the United States. Here are the eight &#8220;unity principles&#8221; of the Women&#8217;s March:
1. &#8220;Women deserve to live full and healthy lives, free of all forms of violence against our bodies.&#8221; Who could object? Fortunately American women on the whole do live full and healthy lives free from violence &#8212; indeed, some of the fullest, longest, most comfortable lives enjoyed by any people of any sex in world history. Women in the United States live significantly longer than men. By the turn of the 21st century, women lived on average 80.1 years compared to 73.4% for the rougher sex. Despite Democrats&#8217; best efforts, unlike men, women need not register for the military draft in order to vote. Men are three times as likely as women to be murdered. Boys and men are far more likely than girls and women to be victims of assault and robbery. And according to the Gallup World Poll, women report being happier with their lives than men.
2. &#8220;We believe in Reproductive Freedom. We do not accept any federal, state or local rollbacks, cuts or restrictions on our ability to access quality reproductive healthcare services, birth control, HIV/AIDS care and prevention, or medically accurate sexuality education. This means open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people.&#8221; Despite the Left&#8217;s constant conflation of killing babies in the womb with &#8220;women&#8217;s health&#8221; and &#8220;reproductive rights,&#8221; the vast majority of American women, 77%, support restricting abortion to at most the first trimester. Men are far more likely to support abortion after the first trimester than women. Further, the majority of women, 59%, say abortion is morally wrong. Indeed, <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/docs/20171023_Knights_of_Columbus_Marist_Poll_Abortion_Tables_January_2017_(2).pdf">a majority</a> of women believe that abortion should at most be permitted in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the women, which means that a majority of women support prohibiting abortion in 99% of cases.
3. &#8220;We believe in an economy powered by transparency, accountability, security and equity. All women should be paid equitably.&#8221; Of course they do. And contrary to popular disinformation, women are paid equal wages for equal work. After controlling for factors like education, time in industry, and hours worked, the mythical wage gap vanishes. In fact, single, childless women in metropolitan areas out-earn men by 8% on average. This trend is expected to continue, as women graduate from college at significantly higher rates than men. In 2015, 39% of women age 25 to 29 had earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree, compared to just 32% of men.
4. &#8220;We believe Civil Rights are our birthright, including voting rights.&#8221; Of course, ladies. American women do have the right to vote, and according to the Center for American Women and Politics, women have voted at higher rates than men in every presidential election since 1980. By 2016, that gap widened to 63.3% of women voting compared to just 59.3% of men. The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters in every presidential election since 1964. Additionally, despite constituting a majority of the U.S. population, 50.8% to 49.2%, women benefit from &#8220;affirmative action&#8221; policies on campus and in the workplace that give them a competitive advantage over men.
5. &#8220;We believe that all women&#8217;s issues are issues faced by women with disabilities and Deaf women.&#8221; Yes. Deaf women are women.
6. &#8220;Rooted in the promise of America&#8217;s call for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, we believe in immigrant and refugee rights regardless of status or country of origin. We believe migration is a human right and that no human being is illegal.&#8221; Putting aside for a moment the illogic of a national policy to abolish national borders, even on principle the Women&#8217;s March fails to represent women. A November survey from Morning Consult and Politico shows that fewer than 30% of Americans support amnesty for even illegal aliens brought to the United States as minors. Even among Democrats, support for granting amnesty to the most relentlessly sympathetic group of illegal aliens stands at just 44%.
7. &#8220;We firmly declare that LGBTQIA Rights are Human Rights and that it is our obligation to uplift, expand and protect the rights of our gay, lesbian, bi, queer, trans or gender non-conforming brothers, sisters and siblings. We must have the power to control our bodies and be free from gender norms, expectations and stereotypes.&#8221; If the Women&#8217;s March hopes to eliminate gender categories, norms, expectations, and stereotypes, they might reconsider the name of their movement. Further, the premise of transgenderism &#8212; that gender is merely socially constructed, and that one may choose his own gender as he pleases &#8212; contradicts the premise of the Women&#8217;s March itself, that women are a category distinct from men.
8. &#8220;We believe that every person and every community in our nation has the right to clean water, clean air, and access to and enjoyment of public lands.&#8221; Somebody ought to inform the Women&#8217;s March leadership that federal law has protected all of those rights, to say nothing of state and local management, for at least the past five decades.
President Trump summed it up well in his Women&#8217;s March <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/954788467069870081">tweet</a>: &#8220;Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!&#8221;

With all of that great news, I&#8217;m sure we can expect an even more exuberant Women&#8217;s March next year.

7 Lies Of The ‘Women’s March’, And 1 Thing They Got Right

Conservatism

Democratic Party

Hillary Clinton

Terri O’Neill, feminist professor and president of the National Organization for Women (NOW), said she believes women should have the option to abort their unborn babies even if they are considered children.
In an audio recording obtained by The Daily Wire, O’Neill expressed her disdain for the GOP platform, saying it was “quite clear” that Republicans are anti-women, citing GOP criminalization of abortions as evidence.
The audio featured a radio interview between O’Neill and KTTH’s Jason Rantz at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Philadelphia, where the two discussed whether Republican opposition to abortions is anti-women.
“Why do you think Republicans are against abortion?” Rantz asked O’Neill, to which O’Neill responded she thinks the GOP&#8217;s position is driven by religious mandates which state that “women really need to be controlled by the men in their family and that would include controlling the ability to control their own bodies.”
Rantz told O’Neill that as a Republican, he thinks the opposition to abortions “has to do with whether or not a fetus is considered a life.” He urged O’Neill to look at all sides of the perspective instead of simply assuming Republicans hate women.
O’Neill said she thinks it’s unfair that vasectomies are not being criminalized by religious leaders the way abortions have been. She deemed the whole discussion surrounding whether or not the fetus was a life as irrelevant.
“Of course it’s potential life. No woman doesn’t think it’s potential life,” she said. “They need to make these decisions for their families themselves, and the fact that it is potential life does not take away from the fact that it is women’s own ability to control their own bodies.”
She added that just as federal funding pays to treat men who have erectile dysfunction, they should also pay for women who want abortions and treat the two as equally deserving of federal funding.
“Of course we should cover Viagra and other forms of men’s health care, but on the same terms we should cover health care for women,&#8221; she said, adding that she blamed the “targeting” of women’s health care on religious mandate, saying, &#8220;Why are you being sex specific? Why are you not going after men’s healthcare on the same basis that you are going after women?&#8221;
Rantz responded that from the perspective of a lawmaker: allowing men to have healthy sexual intercourse is not the same as removing a child from its mother’s womb. But O’Neill did not seem to understand that logic, saying that if that were the case, men would be “forced to start making babies” the way women are “forced” to make babies.
<blockquote>&#8220;Of course it’s potential life. No woman doesn’t think it’s potential life.&#8221;
Terri O&#8217;Neill</blockquote>
“Take religion out of it and we wouldn’t even be having this conversation,” O’Neill said angrily.
O’Neill said she doesn’t care when life begins: “I don’t care.”
O’Neill said she had tried in the past to get pregnant and was unsuccessful.
“I lost it. I lost a whole potentiality of futures with every time that in-vitro fertilization failed,” she said.
Since its founding in 1966, NOW has built 550 chapters across the country and advocates for women’s abortion rights and other liberal feminist platforms. The organization has been <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/1998/apr/23/news/mn-42260">criticized</a> in the past for its political double standard when it refused to support a woman in her sexual harassment lawsuit against a Democratic politician, while calling for the resignation of a Republican politician who was accused of similar assault. The organization has also been <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/10/national-organization-for-women-defends-rolling-stone-gang-rape-fabricator/">criticized</a> for supporting a discredited rape accusation for the sake of a political agenda.
“We are for women because we’ve always had men in leadership positions and in membership of the organization,” O’Neill said, adding, “We advocate for women’s issues but we are not exclusionary.”
