The Abortion Industry Owes Its Success To The Proliferation Of Feminism
If we are serious about helping women and protecting the vulnerable, we must stop believing the lie that feminism has been good for women.
The left desperately needs a lesson in economics, and Mark Levin is here to supply it — because Marxists like Robert Reich are failing to do the job.
Reich claims that the “crises” Republicans are concerned about are “totally made up” in order to “distract from the real crises facing Americans” like “growing concentration of wealth” and the “worsening climate crisis.”
“I’m tired of this Marxist claptrap with class warfare,” Levin says, before destroying Reich’s argument.
“According to the Marxists,” he begins, “there’s only one pie. And the more somebody takes out of that pie, the less pie you have to eat. That’s not how market capitalism works.”
“Under capitalism,” he continues, “the pie gets bigger and bigger and bigger except when these masterminds Bernie Sanders, Biden, Reich jump in. And they try and decide who will and who will not succeed.”
This is precisely why the attack on entire industries like automobiles — by “Democratic socialists” like Biden — is going to hurt the economy more than help it.
“The more the government rules over the economy, the harder it is for the economy to grow. And sometimes it begins to shrink,” Levin explains.
Leftists also seem to operate under the belief that there is no middle class in this country.
“We have a massive middle class in this country. Why? Because the government dictated it? No. Because the Industrial Revolution,” Levin says, noting that the Industrial Revolution “was the greatest period of economic growth mankind has ever experienced.”
“Ever since, the Marxists, the Democrats, have done everything they can to it. They hate capitalism,” he adds.

Microplastics have been found in freshly fallen snow in Antarctica for the first time in recorded history.
The Guardian reported that this unnatural development poses a distinct threat to the health of Antarctica’s unique ecosystems and could accelerate the melting of the continents ice and snow.
Microplastics — which are individually smaller than a grain of rice —have previously been found in Antarctic Sea ice and surface water but this is the first time in recorded history that they have been found in fresh snowfall.
Research conducted by Alex Aves, a PhD student from the University of Canterbury, and his supervisor Dr. Laura Revell, chronicled the recent phenomenon.
For his research, Aves collected snow samples from the Ross Ice Shelf in late 2019 to determine whether microplastics had been transferred rom the atmosphere into the snow. Until Aves conducted this research, there had been very little research about the presence of microplastics on the continent of Antarctica.
Dr. Revell said, “We were optimistic that she wouldn’t find any microplastics in such a pristine and remote location.”
Dr. Revell indicated that she had instructed Aves to also collect samples from various established roadways on the continent, where microplastics have previously been recorded, so that “she’d have at least some microplastics to study.”
As it turns out, Dr. Revell’s precautions were unnecessary as plastic particles were found in every one of the 19 samples Aves gathered from the Ross Ice Shelf.
Aves said, “It’s incredibly sad but finding microplastics in fresh Antarctic snow highlights the extent of plastic pollution into even the most remote regions of the world.”
Aves found an average of 29 microplastic particles per liter of melted snow, which is reportedly higher than recorded marine concentrations that were gathered from the surrounding Ross Sea and Antarctic Sea ice.
There were 13 different types of microplastic found in the samples Aves gathered. The most common type found was PET which is commonly used in the manufacture of plastic drink bottles and clothing.
Atmospheric modeling suggested that these microplastics may have traveled thousands of kilometers through the air as it is unlikely that the humans currently residing in Antarctica have caused enough plastic pollution to generate the requisite concentration of microplastics in the atmosphere.
Microplastics and plastic pollution have become remarkably far spread as they reportedly been found at the summit of Mount Everest and in the depths of the planet’s oceans.
People inadvertently eat and breathe microplastics according to some studies and other studies found that microplastic particles cause damage to human cells. One study from 2021 found that airborne microplastics are “spiraling around the globe.”
Students and families at a Spokane, Washington, middle school were reportedly left traumatized and outraged after a social studies teacher brought raw cotton into the classroom for students to clean.
According to KUOW-TV, the lesson was not about slavery, but the industrial revolution and the important role Eli Whitney's cotton gin played in American economics.
Spokane Public Schools is currently working on an "equity policy," which stems from a racial equity resolution the district passed in 2020.
In May, an unnamed eighth-grade social studies teacher at Sacajawea Middle School reportedly pulled out a box of raw cotton, handed it out to students, and told the children they would complete a "fun" activity to see who could clean the cotton the fastest.
Twins Emzayia and Zyeshauwne Feazell, who are 14 years old, stopped attending classes after that lesson, which reportedly left them "hurt, angry, and traumatized."
Emzayia told KUOW-TV, "I didn't understand why she was actually doing this as a teacher. Why she would bring a box of cotton into class."
Zyeshauwne added, "Once I started to realize what we were actually doing, I didn't like it. I didn't want to pay attention and listen to it anymore."
According to the station, the twin sisters "became even more uneasy when their classmates made comments about how they would not have picked cotton if they had been enslaved."
"They didn't have any reaction like we did," Emzayia insisted. "They were just OK."
After school, the twins went home and told their mother, Brandi Feazell, about the lesson, who, in turn, immediately called the assistant principal.
"I had relayed to him at that point what my girls had described to me that transpired, and he immediately went into defense mode," Feazell insisted. "Instead of maintaining his job and defending these children and making sure that their health and their safety, mentally and emotionally was taken care of and being their first line of defense, he did not portray any of that. He was more worried about his faculty."
The administrator, identified by NBC News as Taylor Skidmore, reportedly told Feazell that the teacher was a "very kind and gentle soul" who would never try to hurt any students.
When Feazell told Skidmore that she planned to take the issue to the school district, he reportedly said that the "only thing he could offer me at that point was to 'segregate' my daughters into a room by themselves, so they 'wouldn't have to be around the white teacher.'"
According to the KUOW, the proposal "angered [Feazell] not just because she said he used the word 'segregate,' using a term from Jim Crow times, but because it seemed to her this plan punished her daughters while leaving the social studies teacher's actions unaddressed."
Feazell said that she was hurt and upset that the teacher wasn't facing disciplinary action over the lesson.
The family is now reportedly working with the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington and TeamChild to "determine the resolution they would like to see come from Spokane Public Schools."
The family aims to prevent something like this from happening to other students in the future and demands that the district remove Skidmore from his position. The family is also seeking disciplinary action against the social studies teacher and wants a formal apology from the district.
A statement from Spokane Public Schools reads, "Spokane Public Schools recently received a complaint regarding a classroom lesson on the Industrial Revolution at Sacajawea Middle School. Upon receiving the complaint, SPS promptly solicited a third-party investigator to fully understand the situation. We will share the investigation's findings as soon as they are available. SPS is committed to transparency, as well as making sure all our students, families, and staff feel supported and heard."
A press release from the ACLU stated that the lesson was "intended to simulate the experience of enslaved people."
The ACLU's press release also quoted Feazell, who said, "As two of the only three black students in the class that day, my daughters already felt singled out during an activity that required them to clean cotton. Separating them from the rest of the class would only compound their pain and isolation and do nothing to change the racist culture and policies that led to this inappropriate and harmful lesson in the first place."
