Teen Vogue, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/teen-vogue-updates-abortion-guide-dobbs-parental-consent-laws-paternalistic-unfair">disturbed</a> by the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, issued <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-to-get-an-abortion-if-youre-a-teen-post-roe-v-wade">new guidance</a> on Thursday for its young audience on how to procure an abortion.
In July 2019, Teen Vogue published an article titled, “<a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-to-get-an-abortion-if-youre-a-teen">How to Get an Abortion If You&#8217;re a Teen</a>” in which the author posited, “It’s only logical that if teens are mature enough to become parents, they are mature enough to decide whether or not they want to give birth. Having access to abortion should be your right, regardless of your parents’ beliefs.”
“You know your parents best: Do you fear for your safety if you reveal your pregnancy?” the 2019 article asked. “Are you worried they might meet you with violence or kick you out of the house? If yes, there is a legal option in 36  states that would let you get an abortion without parental approval called a judicial bypass procedure — an infantilizing holdup to which nobody should have to resort.”
“Everybody loves someone who’s had an abortion. Including you,” the 2019 article concluded.
Thursday’s guidance opined, “On Friday, June 24, the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to an abortion and creating chaos across the country.”
“For pregnant people in the seven current states that have near total abortion bans in effect, it’s a stressful and confusing situation,” the article continued. “For pregnant youth, that stress and confusion is compounded by a system designed to make accessing an abortion even more difficult for them.”
“It is possible to safely self-manage an abortion through medication,” the new guidance advised, “The World Health Organization has specific guidance on self-managed abortion with pills up to 10 weeks of pregnancy.”
After pointing to various sites teenagers could visit for abortion “medication,” Teen Vogue cautioned, “Depending on your state’s current abortion laws, it could take a while for the pills to get to you, but it is worth going through a reputable provider to ensure that the medication you get is verifiable and safe.”
In 2019, Teen Vogue <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-teen-vogue-advises-teenagers-about-hank-berrien">released</a> a video titled, “5 Common Misconceptions About Sex and Gender.” The video featured various speakers insisting that gender is a fluid construct and “binary is bulls***.” Additional comments also mocked the concept that if a boy has a penis, he’s a boy, and if a girl has a vagina, she’s a girl.
The video began with Belgian model Hanne Gaby preaching, “I’m Hanne Gaby and I’m here to tell you that binary is bulls***.” Author Katrina Karkazis chimed in, “Sex typically refers to your biological traits.” Teen Vogue producer Maria Gridas grinned, “Like your gonads, your genitalia, your internal sex characteristics, your hormone production, hormone response, and secondary sex characteristics.”

Teen Vogue Issues New Guidance For Teens Seeking Abortion, Rips SCOTUS Decision Overturning Roe

Teen Vogue Issues New Guidance For Teens Seeking Abortion

Abortion

Roe v. Wade's Long And Brutal Legacy

Supreme Court

Teen Vogue

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that abortion is essential for the “functioning of our democracy.”
In an <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/elizabeth-warren-voting-rights-filibuster-abortion">interview</a> with Teen Vogue — an outlet marketed as “the young person’s guide to conquering (and saving) the world” — Warren argued that opposing election reform bills and killing preborn children are intertwined.
“Do you feel like voting rights and abortion rights are really the key issues to making sure that the freedoms of voters and people in this country are protected?” asked Teen Vogue.
“Both voting and access to abortion are basic. They&#8217;re about the functioning of our democracy and about the protection of personal autonomy,” Warren replied. “Protection of the vote means your voice gets heard in government. Protection of access to basic health care means your autonomy as a human being is fully respected by the law. That you will make the decisions about yourself.”
“To me, that&#8217;s part of the heart of what all of this is about. This is where the two big fights are shaping up right now,” she continued. “And each intersects with the other. Both from the perspective of respect for the individual, and also from a political point of view. The right-wing extremists know that if they can keep people from voting, they&#8217;ve got a better chance to impose their views about abortion on an unwilling nation.”
Warren justified her argument by pointing to a 2018 poll showing that 71% of Americans support the Supreme Court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade — the 1973 case in which the Court claimed that abortion is protected under the Fourteenth Amendment.
“It is a small but intensely focused group of people who want to impose their will on the majority of this nation,” she added. “This is a Republican Party that now openly admits that their only chance to hang on to power is to keep a substantial number of American citizens from voting. And why is that so? Because what they want to do is not popular with Democrats or Republicans.”
Warren has a long <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2017/01/20/elizabeth-warren-wore-a-planned-parenthood-scarf-to-trumps-inauguration/">history</a> of vocally promoting abortion. At President Trump’s 2017 inauguration, for example, she wore a pink scarf to signal support of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-disturbing-insights-from-planned-parenthoods-annual-report">Planned Parenthood</a> — an organization that carried out over 354,000 abortions last year.
Warren’s comments emerge as several anti-abortion groups <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abortion-abolition-groups-urge-supreme-court-to-overturn-roe-v-wade">file</a> amicus briefs — documents that tell the Supreme Court about matters not yet brought to its attention — encouraging the overturning of Roe v. Wade through the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which deals with a Mississippi statute that bans abortion after a baby reaches fifteen weeks’ gestation.

Warren Tells Teenagers That Abortion Is Essential For ‘Functioning Of Our Democracy’

A Teen Vogue staffer who opposed the incoming editor-in-chief over a series of allegedly racist tweets she published when she was just a teenager is now being targeted for her own controversial social media history.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alexi-mccammond-parts-ways-with-conde-nast">The Daily Wire reported last week</a>, Alexi McCammond was ultimately forced out over a series of allegedly anti-Asian tweets she published nearly a decade ago, when McCammond was just 17 years old. The tweets surfaced just as McCammond was being tapped to lead the teen-focused fashion magazine, which has become something of a leading publication for woke ideology in recent years.
&#8220;The tweets were shared in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIKWZegh4n/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">now-viral Instagram post</a> by Diana Tsui, an editor at the website The Infatuation, who wrote: &#8216;I’m tired of big media organizations pretending to give a damn about diversity and inclusion.'&#8221; t<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alexi-mccammond-parts-ways-with-conde-nast">he New York Post reported</a> last week. The tweets included references to &#8220;Asian eyes&#8221; and a critical tweet about an Asian teaching assistant that McCammond has since deleted.
McCammond turned down the position on Friday, writing, in a statement, that she &#8220;became a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities. As a young woman of color, that’s part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in its next chapter.&#8221;
&#8220;My past tweets have overshadowed the work I’ve done to highlight the people and issues that I care about — issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world — and so Conde Nast and I have decided to part ways,&#8221; she said.
“I should not have tweeted what I did and I have taken full responsibility for that. I look at my work and growth in the years since, and have redoubled my commitment to growing in the years to come as both a person and as a professional,” McCammond concluded.
Her resignation followed a statement by twenty Teen Vogue employees, publicized by the magazine&#8217;s social media manager, Christine Davitt, who said that she was &#8220;proud of my @teenvogue colleagues&#8221; targeting McCammond “in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets.&#8221;
The <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/03/21/teen-vogue-staffer-christine-davitt-under-fire-for-racial-tweets/">New York Post reports, however</a>, that Davitt is now under scrutiny after several of her past tweets emerged over the weekend &#8212; tweets which also contain racially charged language, including the n-word.
&#8220;Davitt — who calls herself a &#8216;queer fat filipinx femme in brooklyn&#8217; in her Instagram bio — still had up old posts of her own in which she repeatedly dropped the N-word,&#8221; according to a report from Fox News, cited by the Post. &#8220;She at least twice referred to a friend — who appears to be white — as a &#8216;ni–a&#8217; in 2009, and the next year also used the word &#8216;ni–a&#8217; in a joke tweet.&#8221;
Her social media accounts have since been locked.
Teen Vogue has been <a href="https://twitter.com/jgrantaddison/status/1206214285808078849/photo/1">struggling with readership</a>, and it may not be difficult to see why. Although the magazine is ostensibly marketed at teens, according to ComScore numbers released in 2018, just 1 in 20 Teen Vogue readers was an actual teenager, and only 2.6% of the magazine&#8217;s audience was between 18-24. Their market share is also, reportedly, declining after reaching a peak of 8 million readers in 2017.

Report: Teen Vogue Staffer Who Opposed Editor Over ‘Racist’ Tweets Has ‘Racist’ Social Media History

Racism

Alexi McCammond, the former incoming Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, announced that she was parting ways with Condé Nast after old “racist” tweets were resurfaced. 
“I’ve decided to part ways with Condé Nast,” McCammond tweeted alongside a longer statement. 
“I became a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities. As a young woman of color, that’s part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in its next chapter,” McCammond wrote. “My past tweets have overshadowed the work I’ve done to highlight the people and issues that I care about — issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world — and so Conde Nast and I have decided to part ways.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hey there: I’ve decided to part ways with Condé Nast. Here is my statement about why &#8211; <a href="https://t.co/YmnHVtZSce">pic.twitter.com/YmnHVtZSce</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
McCammond reiterated her apology for her racially insensitive tweets from 2011. 
“I should not have tweeted what I did and I have taken full responsibility for that. I look at my work and growth in the years since, and have redoubled my commitment to growing in the years to come as both a person and as a professional,” McCammond said.  
She concluded by saying that she hopes to return to journalism in the future. 
“There are so many stories left to be told, especially those about marginalized communities and the issues affecting them,” McCammond said. “I hope to have the opportunity to re-join the ranks of tireless journalists who are shining light on the issues that matter every single day.” 
On March 8, more than twenty Teen Vogue employees <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teen-vogue-staffers-sent-letter-to-conde-nast-to-cancel-alexi-mccammond-for-since-deleted-racist-tweets-from-2011">penned an open letter</a> to Condé Nast condemning McCammond for a series of decade-old anti-Asian tweets. In an announcement about the letter, employees insinuated that they did not approve of the company’s choice to hire her. 
The announcement read: 
<blockquote>As more than 20 members of the staff of Teen Vogue, we’ve built our outlet’s reputation as a voice for justice and change — we take immense pride in our work and in creating an inclusive environment. That’s why we have written a letter to management at Condé Nast about the recent hire of Alexi McCammond as our new editor-in-chief in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets. We’ve heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you. 
In a moment of historically high anti-Asian violence and amid the on-going struggles of the LGBTQ community, we as the staff of Teen Vogue fully reject those sentiments. We are hopeful that an internal conversation will prove fruitful in maintaining the integrity granted to us by our audience.</blockquote>
The “racist” tweets were made while McCammond was in college. One tweet read, “outdone by Asian #whatsnew.” A second tweet read, &#8220;now Googling how to not wake up with swollen, Asian eyes…” 
A third tweet read, “give me a 2/10 on my chem problem, cross out all of my work, and don’t explain what I did wrong… thanks a lot stupid Asian T.A. you’re great.”
The tweets were originally unearthed in 2019 when McCammond was a reporter at Axios. She apologized after they initially resurfaced. 
The fallout from McCammond’s tweets also affected the company’s bottom line. The <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ulta-pulls-teen-vogue-ads-over-new-editor-in-chiefs-old-racist-tweets">Daily Beast</a> reported that the beauty company Ulta pulled its seven-figure ad campaign after McCammond’s tweets were unearthed. 
McCammond made headlines earlier in the year after her relationship with a former Biden administration aide, TJ Ducklo was exposed. Ducklo has since resigned from the Biden administration after threatening a Politico reporter who was investigating the couple’s relationship.

Teen Vogue Editor Forced Out Over ‘Racist‘ Tweets She Made As A Teenager

The fallout from new Teen Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexi McCammond’s decade-old tweets continues for the magazine, with beauty brand Ulta Beauty pulling its advertisements.
The Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/ulta-pulls-teen-vogue-ads-over-new-editor-in-chiefs-old-racist-tweets">reported</a> that the cosmetics and skincare retailer provided a statement to the outlet explaining that it was pulling its current ad campaign, worth a reported seven figures, after decade-old tweets from McCammond were discovered, in which she made several disparaging comments about Asians.
The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teen-vogue-staffers-sent-letter-to-conde-nast-to-cancel-alexi-mccammond-for-since-deleted-racist-tweets-from-2011">reported</a>:
<blockquote>McCammond’s tweets were made in 2011, while she was still in college. Her first tweet read, “outdone by Asian #whatsnew.” Another tweet read, “now Googling how to not wake up with swollen, Asian eyes…” 
A third tweet read, “give me a 2/10 on my chem problem, cross out all of my work and don’t explain what I did wrong..thanks a lot stupid Asian T.A. you’re great.” </blockquote>
McCammond had previously deleted the tweets and apologized, though the apology has been deemed by critics to be insufficient.
“Today I was reminded of some past insensitive tweets, and I am deeply sorry to anyone I offended. I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my views or who I am today,” McCammond said back in November 2019, when the tweets were originally discovered. At the time, McCammond was working for Axios, and later made headlines for dating a member of the Biden administration.
On Wednesday, the Beast published the statement from an Ulta company spokesperson.
“Diversity and inclusion are core values at Ulta Beauty—and always have been,” the spokesperson said. “Our current spend with Teen Vogue is paused as we work with Condé Nast to evaluate the situation and determine next steps regarding our partnership.”
Ulta appears to be the only advertiser that has decided to pull ads from the magazine, but it is the latest in the uproar surrounding McCammond’s old tweets. As The Daily Wire reported earlier this week, more than 20 Teen Vogue staffers wrote a letter to management denouncing McCammond. The magazine’s senior political editor, Allegra Kirkland, posted the letter to Twitter.
“As more than 20 members of the staff of Teen Vogue, we’ve built our outlet’s reputation as a voice for justice and change — we take immense pride in our work and in creating an inclusive environment,” the letter said. “That’s why we have written a letter to management at Condé Nast about the recent hire of Alexi McCammond as our new editor-in-chief in light of her past racist and homophobic tweets. We’ve heard the concerns of our readers, and we stand with you.”
“In a moment of historically high anti-Asian violence and amid the on-going struggles of the LGBTQ community, we as the staff of Teen Vogue fully reject those sentiments. We are hopeful that an internal conversation will prove fruitful in maintaining the integrity granted to us by our audience,” it continued.

McCammond made headlines earlier in the year after her relationship with a former Biden administration aide, TJ Ducklo was exposed. Ducklo has since resigned from the Biden administration after threatening a Politico reporter who was looking to report on the relationship. Conde Nast hired McCammond shortly after to tackle political issues for the fashion magazine. 
During her time at Axios, McCammond apologized for the resurfaced tweets. 
“Today I was reminded of some past insensitive tweets, and I am deeply sorry to anyone I offended. I have since deleted those tweets as they do not reflect my views or who I am today,” McCammond said on Nov. 20, 2019. 
Diana Tsui, the editorial director at the publication Infatuation, ripped into McCammond and Conde Nast for their “questionable hire” in an Instagram post. Tsui said McCammond’s apology was insufficient.
“She had a series of racist tweets in 2011. Maybe we can give her some benefit of the doubt as these were done when she was still a student. But her ‘apology,’ which was only after people caught them in 2019, referred to them as ‘deeply insensitive.’ They are not insensitive, they are racist.” 
Tsui said that this is not an example of cancel culture, instead, it’s an example of “accountability.” 
“When we talk about accountability versus cancel culture, we need to talk about how this should have been addressed, not just by her but also Teen Vogue and Conde Nast as a whole, especially in light of the current national discourse about Asian racism,” Tsui wrote. “Teen Vogue has positioned itself as a champion of inclusiveness and empowerment. Is this truly a leader who also embodies these beliefs? Would a leader preemptively acknowledge the hurt caused by past actions with a future plan of action or would a leader just ignore it and hope no one does a Google search?” 
Jim VandeHei, the CEO and co-founder of Axios, came to McCammond’s defense on Twitter advocating that she is a “great, strong, caring leader.” 
“I worked [with Alexi] for nearly four years at Axios: she lived her true character: worked her ass off, constantly advocating for ALL individuals and groups,” VandeHei said. “Actions [equal] values and soul. She apologized long ago; grew big time. Big [heart]; great, strong, caring leader.”

Teen Vogue Staffers Sent Letter To Conde Nast To Cancel Alexi McCammond For Since-Deleted ‘Racist’ Tweets From 2011

An op-ed published last month in Teen Vogue that argued in favor of abolishing private property made the rounds again on social media on Friday after Republican lawmakers tweeted against it.
In a July 15 article, titled &#8220;An Eviction Crisis Is Coming — We Need to Treat Housing as a Right,&#8221; columnist Kandist Mallett claimed the coronavirus pandemic has laid bare &#8220;the failure of capitalism and the incompetence of the United States government,&#8221; which she said missed the opportunity to deal with the country&#8217;s &#8220;institutional failings.&#8221;
&#8220;Congress did not rise to the occasion, providing or even seriously considering necessary, transformational policies like universal basic income (UBI), universal health care, rent suspension, or debt forgiveness,&#8221; Mallet wrote. &#8220;Instead, they gave us crumbs through a one-time payment of $1,200 and $600 extra in unemployment (for those who qualified), while many of the well-connected — including several lawmakers themselves — cashed in via the Paycheck Payment Protection (PPP) loans program intended for small businesses.&#8221;
Mallet also claimed the pandemic has exposed party politics as &#8220;a sham,&#8221; and that &#8220;real political affinity lies within class and race.&#8221; Her solution, in addition to abolishing the police, is the abolition of property. &#8220;What is more evident of the legacy of settler colonialism and its violence than the idea of the ownership of land?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;What helped shape the unequal distribution of wealth and enduring segregation of our cities quite like centuries of racist property laws?&#8221;
The pending evictions looming for millions of Americans, especially minorities, have given rise to the importance of rethinking private housing &#8220;and the role it plays in maintaining economic violence in those communities,&#8221; Mallet continued.
Mallett went on to slam the disparity of wealth in the U.S., the lack of diversity among the Founding Fathers, and the genocide of Native Americans, which she linked to present-day property-owning laws. &#8220;The lack of protections for non-landowners should be to no surprise from a country founded on the genocide and colonization of indigenous peoples,&#8221; she wrote.
By way of solution, Mallett offered not only cancellation of rent during the pandemic, but also &#8220;[working] toward a world where landlords no longer hold this sort of power over people’s lives. We need a housing movement based on a rejection of the construct that any one person should own this earth’s land.&#8221;
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) re-upped the article on Thursday, quote-tweeting it and accusing the magazine for teen girls of promoting Marxism. &#8220;Teen Vogue publishes oped that says we should abolish private property rights&#8230;along with those pesky police. Just wondering if anyone sees any issues with our next generation reading Marxist propaganda in popular teen magazines&#8230;?&#8221; he wrote.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Crenshaw&#8217;s fellow Texas lawmaker, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) followed suit Friday, pointing out simply that Teen Vogue itself was somebody&#8217;s property. &#8220;Who owns Teen Vogue?&#8221; he asked.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Mallet&#8217;s article is not the first time Teen Vogue has dabbled in Marxism. On June 18, Cruz blasted the publication as &#8220;ignorant &amp; demented&#8221; for a <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/who-is-karl-marx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">piece</a> instructing teens how to &#8220;learn the legacy of Marx’s ideas and how they’re relevant to the current political climate.&#8221;
Cruz tweeted, &#8220;Teen Vogue, glorifying the founder of communism. Because Stalin, Mao, Castro &amp; their ilk murdered over 100 million people, imprisoned and tortured millions more &amp; produced crushing poverty that lead to starvation, misery &amp; death. Welcome to Marx, indeed.&#8221;

Teen Vogue, in its imperishable desire to act as the spearhead for political correctness, published an article titled &#8220;Black Power Naps Is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep,&#8221; in which they <a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/black-power-naps-addressing-systemic-racism-in-sleep?fbclid=IwAR3FZG4d-hzKOCl1Pap_xFJXutSiqu0ASD6CoTl_xuA8xyOf5BQvExBpRkg">plugged</a> an artistic initiative entitled &#8220;Black Power Naps,&#8221; which argues that blacks have had shorter lives than whites because blacks were not permitted to sleep, and thus reparations must be given in the form of time off from work.
Teen Vogue writes of Fannie Sosa and Navild Acosta, who created Black Power Naps, that they “were tired, but it wasn&#8217;t just any old fatigue. Yes, they experienced a lack of sleep, but they were specifically experiencing a generational fatigue familiar to Black people and people of color.”
Teen Vogue says Black Power Naps is “also a recognition of the hundreds of years of sleep deprivation that Black people and people of color have experienced as a result of systemic racism, a way to pushback against the false stereotype that Black people are lazy, and an investigation of the inequitable distribution of rest.”
Acosta posited, “We’re dealing with an inheritance of sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation was a … deliberate tactic of slave owners to basically make the mind feeble. That same tactic has only evolved.”
Sosa added, “Slavery is a regime of stealing and extraction: Stolen wages, stolen life, stolen land, but stolen time was one of the main things. We need time. We need time off; we need time out. Our ancestors never got to take a month off for holidays; they never got to take a sabbatical; they never got to take a nap. When you pile all of those together, you see the reparations that need to happen are monetary, but they&#8217;re also time and space.”
Teen Vogue writes, “Acosta and Sosa are calling for rest as reparations. Yes, they&#8217;re looking for an ease to the many burdens that might prevent Black people and people of color from sleeping like systemic racism, socioeconomic struggle, and more.” Teen Vogue adds, “This conversation about rest is particularly pertinent now, as people take to the streets to say Black Lives Matter. If Black people keep having to fight for their humanity, how can they ever rest knowing they could be in danger?”
Sosa said, “We are having to go out in the streets during a pandemic, expending our energy in really huge amounts in order to ask for reparations and rest and energy. It is a … double edged sword to navigate as an activist or organizer. You are putting your body on the line to reclaim it. That creates a lot of burnout. We have people who are 20, 21, they are burnt out. They need time off. They need not only to sleep, but to know their people are going to be ok, to know they&#8217;re going to be ok, to know they can take a break.”
