Over her lifetime of activism and writing, radical feminist Gloria Steinem became the face of the women’s movement.
On Wednesday, she passed away at 92 at her home in New York City.
During her career, Steinem campaigned for Democrats, demeaned men and the traditional family, and celebrated the killing of unborn children.
Steinem serves as one of eight Honorary Chairs of Democratic Socialists of America for her work for DSA in the 1980s and ‘90s and one of its predecessor organizations, Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.
Steinem ran afoul of the organization during the 2016 election when she publicly supported Hillary Clinton rather than the DSA-backed Bernie Sanders.
Steinem’s pro-abortion views became a key pillar of her belief system, and she even dedicated her book My Life on the Road to a doctor who took the “considerable risk of referring” the then 22-year-old Steinem for an abortion at a time when they were illegal in the U.K.
Bill Donohue of The Catholic League notes:
Steinem put the lie to the notion that “no one is really pro-abortion.” She liked abortion. In fact, she loved it. That is why she happily endorsed a book by atheist and anti-Catholic activist Anne Nicol Gaylor titled, Abortion Is A Blessing. Did she consider it a “blessing” when she aborted her baby at age 22? Not sure, but it would not surprise to learn that she did. After all, she called “National Abortion Providers Appreciation Day” an occasion that recognizes “acts of kindness.”
She was more than pro-abortion—she hated marriage and the family. She made it her ambition to “abolish and reform the institution of marriage.” Anyone who thinks it is a good idea to raise kids absent the institution of marriage is either ignorant of the psychological and social consequences it engenders, or is morally debased beyond recognition.
A post on social media shared was part memorial, part fundraising/book launch.
“Yesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. Gloria’s near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.”
“Gloria’s greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard. Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.”
“She spent her recent years doing the two things she loved most: being in community with others and writing. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into her living room for Talking Circles, a tradition she insisted will continue long after she is no longer with us. As Gloria wrote in her forthcoming book, , ‘I have now lived for more than fifty years in this brownstone, in rooms that have witnessed lives before mine, and will know others after I am gone.’ This book, along with her commitment to her home becoming a center for social justice movements, are among the many gifts Gloria has given the world with the hope they have ripple effects for generations to come. Gloria often quoted the adage: ‘The flap of a butterfly’s wing can change the weather hundreds of miles away.'”
“Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain. Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.”
“In lieu of flowers, Gloria has asked that those wishing to honor her with a gift, may make a donation to Gloria’s Foundation.”
