Here's the hot mike gaffe of the day: Shannyn Moore, a "progressive" Alaskan radio talk show host appeared on Fox News this past weekend. As Geraldo waxes poetically about Sarah Palin's pro-life feminist efforts as a mom who achieved great things while raising a large family, with one sigh Moore reveals the hypocrisy of the femi-nots.
While they say they recognize her achievements what they reveal is that they mock her, as Moore does in this post on a "progressive Alaskans" website:

What the pro-abortion crowd really only acknowledges is that it was great that Sarah had a choice. Because that's what it's ALL about. Choice. At all costs.
But this one sigh crystallizes their hypocrisy. They say what they want is for women to achieve in the world of men, but if someone actually does it while raising a large family -- including a special needs child -- that flies in the face of their argument that women need to have abortions -- and especially need to be able to relieve themselves of the "burden" of a baby with Down syndrome -- in order to level the playing field.
Is this the face of feminism? Sighing with disdain when someone recounts the remarkable achievements of a woman? The majority of women in this country will answer that with their votes come November.
