Your latest Substack post hit me hard, and I’m so grateful for your courage in calling out the unimaginable cruelty we’re seeing. I grew up not far from where the Texas flooding took place and personally know a family who lost their lives in the flood.
I am utterly stunned—heartbroken, really—that anyone could feel so comfortable and proud saying they’re glad children died in the Texas floods. To hear people claim those innocent lives, like the kids at Camp Mystic among the 108 lost, “deserved it” is beyond vile. It’s a gut punch to think anyone could justify such a tragedy with smug indifference. And be proud of saying this on a public platform. What is wrong with these people? And the depravity doesn’t stop there—reading about people boasting about aborting their babies with no remorse, treating it like a badge of honor, just deepens the sorrow.
Your voice cuts through this madness with the clarity and strength we need right now. I can’t fathom how we’ve reached a point where such hateful rhetoric is flaunted without shame, but your words remind us to stand firm against it. Thank you for not staying silent, for leading with truth, and for inspiring us to reject this erosion of humanity. Your advocacy gives me hope that we can still fight for a world where every life is cherished.
I should have noticed it before, but it really got my attention when the Be Kind crowd was begging for “just one more inch” when Trump was shot. This hate is more of the same.
I gasped out loud when I saw the video of that singer saying that she couldn't remember how many abortions she had had, and guessing that it was "4 or 5". I'm in my 60s and I've been pro-choice for decades but never believed that just because abortion was available that meant that having one should be taken for granted or minimized, and I think that most women of my generation felt the same way. What has happened to the current generation of women?
I don't think this is typical. I'm in my early 30s and in a liberal environment and I don't know anyone who has had an abortion, let alone multiple. Obviously they may just not be telling me but that would at least imply there isn't a widespread sense of pride about it
While there might not be a sense of pride in many women, about 47% of women who’ve have had an abortion have actually have multiple. Around 20% have 3+ abortions.
I guess that shouldn't surprise me. I am pro choice but I also think you should avoid needing an abortion, and I struggle to understand why someone like Lily Allen (who has all the resources in the world) would not be able to reliably use contraception four or five times.
I will be honest that I don’t understand how pro-choice people don’t see this as the obvious thing that would happen when abortion became legal nationwide. All pro-life people knew this would happen. It’s the inevitable end point.
Hence I would never support anyone who doesn’t see that as pure common sense and being nonchalant about it whether politically, musically or otherwise it is a basic human right to life and the pursuit of happiness enshrined in the constitution so there’s that 😊
The messaging that I remember around the issue of abortion back when I was younger was that it was, for some women, an unfortunate last resort; not something to "shout" or brag about or to take lightly, and certainly not something to rely on repeatedly. That's not what we see today.
I agree. I am 61, and abortion was regarded as a dark place of last resort. It was not celebrated. But we have fixed the issues that led to its even being considered as a solution. Today's society doesn't condemn young single women for being pregnant. Schools, churches, places of work, families: people are willing to help and no one is treated as a pariah. In addition, contraception is widely available, inexpensive, and is offered in various forms. It's even available in public schools. No reason exists for abortion. Cynthia Nixon is just so 1987.
That was the lie that was sold to usher in the era of on demand abortion. “Safe, legal, and rare” was rhetoric, it was a marketing tactic. It was never going to be reality.
Initially I thought that Megan Kelly had unwittingly posted a doctored photo of Cynthia Nixon wearing that cap, so I searched Nixon's Instagram for verification, and found it. It shocks me that Nixon would glory in what should be a regrettable last resort at best.
I heartily agree with you on all of these points. I also have never had an abortion and am pro choice, but I have always said that one abortion I can kind of understand, but more than one?! No way in hell would I allow that to happen to my body. No way. It's a forever trauma all the way around...
I had more than one. One when I was nineteen and another because of anticipated health issues. Neither were traumatizing. You know what was traumatizing for me? Giving birth.
She is such a twit. Bisexual, which I feel the need to correct. And here she sits on a private yacht telling Americans to make abortion great again. I doubt she has ever had to make the painful decision to abort a child as, for any woman I know who has had one, it is beyond traumatizing. How disrespectful to those who have suffered through such an enormous decision.
I do hope when the Western world wakes up to the junk science of Gender Ideology, all of the celebrities who put forth their “trans” kids as the latest Hermes bag become unemployable.
I wondered if perhaps she and her wife were planning on taking a little cruise down the Mediterranean now that Seph’s finished her hunger strike for Gaza. You know, so they can sleep in a tent or something and camp out for a night with Palestinians.
Not my job but you are free to read about this and I would suggest reading a few of books on the topic like Hannah Barnes “Time to Think”, Helen Joyce’s “Trans”, Abigail Shrier’s “Irreversible Damage” … The list is extensive and growing of esteemed, world class journalists who have reported on what has allegedly happened.
I did not say this is more of an issue to me than “what we know Trump is guilty of”. Way off topic here, Simon. If you want to come at me directly, please take it to my feed and away from Jen’s.
Absolutely not. To my knowledge she is bisexual and I think most are aware there is a difference between heterosexuals, bisexuals and homosexuals. This explains why she might desire men (or women who believe they’re men and chose to present as such). Whereas I do not because I am a lesbian and am exclusively same sex attracted.
While your question is off topic, I am happy to answer it. It is a lock and load moment for me whenever humans, especially children, are sex trafficked or harmed. Which is why I am so vehemently opposed to the what we have seen some trans activists and their supporters do which IMO is to disregard the rights of others and, worse, to fuck with little ones.
Yes and I explained why I mentioned it. I believe there are 3 innate sexual orientations (with heterosexuality being the most dominant in our society) and I don’t believe either sex or sexual orientation are “social constructs” or “fluid”.
You said (assuming you don’t hit the edit button) “I think the core of your comment is a rage against trans people, and has little to do with the safety of children.” You are wrong.
First, I do not believe humans can change sex or that anyone can “transition” to the opposite sex so I’m not sure (nor do I think anyone can define) what a “trans” person is at this point. If you believe humans can change sex, that is your prerogative.
In my view, no one has the right to infringe on the rights of another or to impose their beliefs on others.
Can I ask what your sex and sexual orientation is, Simon?
That’s your prerogative but to assert that it’s “creepy” that I or others care about what sex someone is seems off putting. Our sex (male or female) matters a lot because hard won women’s rights and LGB rights fall to the definition of sex, as it’s been understood and defined for centuries. It’s biological - it is based on science and facts (such as males produce small gametes and females produce large gametes of eggs). I hold great value to science and facts.
Hit my feed if you’re genuinely curious about my thoughts on child sex predators and people who fuck with children. I’m not American. He is not my elected leader.
You hit the nail on the head. If this attitude is allowed to go unchecked there can be no civilization. I am shocked beyond words that people can be so out of touch with their own humanity.
Same here, Jennifer. I'll also tell you this. I taught Pre-K/Kindergarten children of mostly deep blue Dem parents in Park Slope, Brooklyn for over 20 years. Their children are not doing well, and I had to call the state number for child endangerment and abuse any number of times, because these adults do not modulate their own behavior. They're also jumping into bed with everyone else's spouses. Just sayin'
Why wouldn't they enjoy all of the pleasures of modern liberal society while disregarding their jobs as parents? Aren't kids just for their gratification? Ugh, very unpleasant.
Anyone who doesn't feel some pain for these children who never had their chance at life isn't even human. These were CHILDREN, the most precious commodity on the face of the earth. I am disgusted. These people are nothing less than pure evil.
One of the most difficult truths I’ve had to reckon with—both as a former educator and now as someone studying education systems—is how deeply children are overlooked by all sides of the political spectrum. Despite constant rhetoric about being “for the children,” what I see instead is a pervasive disregard for their actual developmental needs.
On the right, children’s mental health is often minimized, and harmful attitudes toward minority children persist. There’s a fixation on parental rights, even when clear evidence shows that some guardians are unable—or unwilling—to provide adequate care. Children are viewed almost exclusively as private responsibilities rather than as members of a shared society.
On the left, I see a different but equally troubling pattern: a reluctance to acknowledge that children require protections because they are still developing. In many circles, childhood is treated as a minor variation on adulthood, and children’s unique psychological, emotional, and cognitive needs get flattened under adult-centered frameworks of rights and autonomy.
What’s missing on both sides is a serious engagement with the full complexity of childhood—what it means to develop, to depend, to become. We need a shift away from political abstractions and toward a developmental lens that treats children not as symbols, but as whole humans in worthy of public protection, education, and opportunity.
Those on the left who condone the communist sympathizer hangers-on ignore the actual history of regimes who called themselves communist. Within such regimes was commonly found aggressive othering of dissidents, as well as encouragement of the in-group masses to engage in brutal and dehumanizing treatment of the out-group. Add-in laws of human nature: it's much easier to pull someone down than to lift everyone up.
Also, an observation of the political dynamics as I've perceived them in my thirty something years of life as an American: the right thinks the left is either stupid or misguided, and the left thinks the right is evil or actually less moral as human beings. Which predisposition more easily leads to callous disregard of the "other"?

It is consistent: they don’t care about unborn babies, why would you think that they would care about babies or children after they are born.

While there might not be a sense of pride in many women, about 47% of women who’ve have had an abortion have actually have multiple. Around 20% have 3+ abortions.
What proportion of women have an abortion in their lifetimes, out of interest?
Seems to be around 25% of women in the US. So about 12% of women in the US have had multiple abortions.
I guess that shouldn't surprise me. I am pro choice but I also think you should avoid needing an abortion, and I struggle to understand why someone like Lily Allen (who has all the resources in the world) would not be able to reliably use contraception four or five times.
I’d say there is a good chance she’s lying for attention.
All the more reason for free and long acting contraception, and in some cases, mutually agreed upon sterilization.
FYI, 50% of women who have had abortions have had multiple abortions.
I will be honest that I don’t understand how pro-choice people don’t see this as the obvious thing that would happen when abortion became legal nationwide. All pro-life people knew this would happen. It’s the inevitable end point.

We are about the same age Roseann, seriously what did you think would happen if you legalize and subsidize abortion? Safe and rare? Ha.
It's the perfect "Get out of jail for free" card ever invented for a sinful world.

Actually probably like the result she imagines in the book 1984 by Orson Welles sigh 😔
That was the lie that was sold to usher in the era of on demand abortion. “Safe, legal, and rare” was rhetoric, it was a marketing tactic. It was never going to be reality.
“What’s happened to the current generation of women?” Satanism

the boat is some real bullshit.

Does “bisexual” trigger you?
What about child sex trafficking, like in the Epstein files?
Absolutely not. To my knowledge she is bisexual and I think most are aware there is a difference between heterosexuals, bisexuals and homosexuals. This explains why she might desire men (or women who believe they’re men and chose to present as such). Whereas I do not because I am a lesbian and am exclusively same sex attracted.

Which is why I am so vehemently opposed to the what we have seen some trans activists and their supporters do which IMO is to disregard the rights of others and, worse, to fuck with little ones.
"Absolutely not. "
Yet you seem to think it's important to mention it.
Yes and I explained why I mentioned it. I believe there are 3 innate sexual orientations (with heterosexuality being the most dominant in our society) and I don’t believe either sex or sexual orientation are “social constructs” or “fluid”.
So it S about sexual oritentation and your beliefs about it.
What have they done? Please provide details, then tell me why that's more of an issue to you than what we now know Trump is guilty of.
I think the core of your comment is a rage against trans people, and has little to do with the safety of children.
You said (assuming you don’t hit the edit button) “I think the core of your comment is a rage against trans people, and has little to do with the safety of children.” You are wrong.

Can I ask what your sex and sexual orientation is, Simon?
"Can I ask what your sex and sexual orientation is, Simon?"
You can ask, but that's personal, so I won't answer.
It's kinda creepy that it matters to you so much.
That’s your prerogative but to assert that it’s “creepy” that I or others care about what sex someone is seems off putting. Our sex (male or female) matters a lot because hard won women’s rights and LGB rights fall to the definition of sex, as it’s been understood and defined for centuries.

"In my view, no one has the right to infringe on the rights of another or to impose their beliefs on others."
Good. Then why the rage against trans people?
Because I believe trans activists have sought to infringe on the rights of others and attempted to impose their belief in Gender Ideology on others.
Thanks for proving me right.
Now…about those child sex predators that Trump is suchgood friends with…
Hit my feed if you’re genuinely curious about my thoughts on child sex predators and people who fuck with children. I’m not American. He is not my elected leader.

I'm sorry to have read yet another account on the decline of civilization 😞 But thank you Jennifer, for speaking out.
You hit the nail on the head. If this attitude is allowed to go unchecked there can be no civilization. I am shocked beyond words that people can be so out of touch with their own humanity.
They have sold their souls to the world :(
Very sad to see their attitudes normalized. It’s Godless.
The intolerant Left shows their colors again and again.
Same here, Jennifer. I'll also tell you this. I taught Pre-K/Kindergarten children of mostly deep blue Dem parents in Park Slope, Brooklyn for over 20 years.

Here there be monsters.
The employment prospects for a pediatrician who celebrates the deaths of children is low. This will red flag on any pre-employment internet search.

Is it at all conceivable that these people might feel differently if they knew the truth?

UNTHINKABLE is the shocking exposé of the abortion industry’s dirtiest secrets.
When abortion is considered as birth control, you know you are living in a Death Cult.
Why does anybody listen to the opinions of a “celebrity”? Most can’t tell time without an assistant.
