Schlafly said, "many Americans" are protesting the wave toward marriage equality by dissenting with their feet. She said they are "moving away from same-sex marriage states and into the many states that continue to recognize the value of marriage as being between one man and one woman." Of course, Schlafly provides no evidence to support her claim. Are you surprised?
In any case, I remembered a few of the wondrous things espoused by Schlafly. If you're my age, you will nod your head ... if you are younger, this is your opportunity to get a glimpse into this woman's thinking. Here are a few Schlafly quotes:
"Sex-education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions."
[Evidently she hasn't viewed the statistics that demonstrate comprehensive sex-ed classes reduce the incidence of unwanted pregnancies.]
"Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women."
[Most every woman has experienced some form of sexual harassment on the job whether Schlafly admits it or not.]
"Feminism is doomed to failure because it is based on an attempt to repeal and restructure human nature."
[Feminism is based on equality. Perhaps we need to give her a dictionary.]
"Birth on U.S. territory has never been an absolute claim to citizenship."
[Perhaps we should also give Schlafly a copy of the U.S. Constitution where Amendment 14, Section 1 declares that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."]
"ERA means abortion funding, means homosexual privileges, means whatever else."
[Here's what the Equal Rights Amendment says: Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.]
"People think that child-support enforcement benefits children, but it doesn't."
[Schlafly doesn't explain this piece of wisdom, but in my view child-support, thus child-support enforcement most certainly helps children.]
"After Big Media, U.S. colleges and universities are the biggest enemies of the values of red-state Americans."
[I assume that means that red-state/conservative state values don't include an education or the critical thinking skills and economic skills needed to support families and continue our nation's prosperity. Perhaps that's why the stats show that the poorest states are the red states?]
"Men should stop treating feminists like ladies, and instead treat them like the men they say they want to be."
[I have yet to meet a feminist female who wanted to be a man or said she wanted to be a man. We are very happy with our gender, Schlafly, but ... now open your ears ... we want equality with men. Gender equality benefits women and men.]
There are more delightful words from this woman, but I've done enough remembering for one day.
Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions.
