MrsFrozen Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I am disgusted that you included the president of Planned Parenthood in your Women of the Year issue. Are you not aware that you have pro-life readers? Why drag politics into a magazine primarily about fashion and beauty? Because of this, I will never again pick up another Glamour magazine to read, much less pay for one. You think that it's okay to choose who lives and dies, when that is God's right only! For being so "pro-woman," you forget that half of these babies that are being aborted are females. Imagine what these girls could accomplish if they were given a chance to live. Maybe you're not aware of what happens during an abortion. Please visit http://www.pregnancycenters.org/abortion.html for information. I suppose it's "trendy" to be pro-choice. Well, I believe the woman should have a choice, too. If she doesn't want a baby, she should choose to keep her legs closed! I was appalled when I saw that Glamour magazine honored the president of Planned Parenthood as one of their Woman of the Year. This was the last issue of a year-old subscription that I wasn't going to renew anyway (I have changed a lot in the last year--for the better!). This made me even happier to be rid of it. They are pro-abortion, pro-contraceptive, feminist, and tend to objectify women. I encourage you to go to http://us.glamour.com/contact/ and click on "You Said It" to write in a complaint. You never know, your letter may actually turn someone pro-life! Does anyone know of a Christian magazine for young women? If not, I just may look into starting one! God bless..

Sojourner Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I've happened upon an interesting group, Feminists for Life, that has some really attractive viewpoints for someone who's both interested in a comprehensively pro-life position and in supporting women. I've not signed on the dotted line yet, but I'm definitely investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsFrozen Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 I've happened upon an interesting group, Feminists for Life, that has some really attractive viewpoints for someone who's both interested in a comprehensively pro-life position and in supporting women. I've not signed on the dotted line yet, but I'm definitely investigating. Hi, Sojourner.. I just spent a little while at this website, and from what I have seen so far, I like it very much. These woman are what feminists should be--proud to be women, proud to be wives and mothers, proud to be good at their careers, helping the abused, and above all, pro-life. They're not trying to be men, they are the women God made them to be. I am going to continue looking at this site. Thank you for showing it to me. Here's an excerpt from an article on it I just read. If we refused to choose, if we insisted on keeping both our lives and our bodies intact, what changes would our community have to make? What would make abortion unnecessary? Flexible school situations, freedom from stigma, fairness in hiring, more flex-time, part-time, and home-commute jobs, better access to prenatal and obstetric care, attractive adoption opportunities, a whole garden of safe family planning choices, support in learning how to handle our sex lives responsibly, and help with child care and parenting when we choose to keep our babies: this is a partial list. Yet these changes will never come as long as we're lying down on abortion tables 1,600,000 times a year to ensure the status quo. We've adapted to this surgical substitute, to the point that Justice Blackmun could write in his Webster dissent, "Millions of women have ordered their lives around" abortion. That we have willingly ordered our lives around a denigrating surgical procedure--accepted it as the price we must pay to keep our life plans intact--is an ominous sign. It's a great article, very powerful. Here's the link if anyone cares to read it: http://www.feministsforlife.org/FFL_topics...er/pricchoc.htm Thank you again! God bless.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I, too, am disgusted with a lot of fashion magazines out there. I used to get Glamour, then stopped agreeing with their politics they infuse into every page. I get the fashion mag "Lucky" now, and while they don't really have politics involved, it's more of a "This is what's fashionable, and here's where to buy it". I like it a lot better and it's not all expensive stuff, it lets you know where you can buy it cheaper. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard of it, but I haven't read it or anything. I think it's fun to look at fashion magazines sometimes, but I hate the stupid politics involved. I used to have a subscription to Cosmo, too, and ditched that one as well when I realized it was nothing but feminist garbage and half-naked men and women. I think I am going to search and see if I can find a Christian-based magazine that has fashion and stuff for women. God bless. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. - there's not much to read in Lucky, just where to buy stuff and what's fashionable. Which is great, cuz I don't get fashion mags for their political commentary. The problem I find with Christian fashion mags is that they're really not about what's fahionable now, or how to "tone" down what's fashionable now into something I can actually wear - not those teeny-tiny skirts that just barely cover your butt cheeks that some fashion mags are showing!

MrsFrozen Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hi, Lil.. Thanks, I will let you know. I know that you mean about the clothes that are fashionable for today. My style is pretty basic, but I consider it to be stylish. I don't wear any of the crazy stuff on runways or anything! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
