Smart Girl Politics
[edit]Smart Girl Politics is an online community for conservative women[1] that was founded by Stacy Mott and Teri Christoph in 2008. Mott and Christoph formed the group as a reaction to what they saw as the mistreatment of conservative women such as Sarah Palin. The website's goal is to empower conservative women and teach them how to become politically active. They also help conservative women take public office. Smart Girl Politics is closely associated with the Tea Party.

Misrepresentation
[edit]Please don't misrepresent sources as you did with the Beisel and Kay piece here. Beisel and Kay argue a particular point, that WASPs were worried about their low birth rate relative to Irish Catholics (and to a lesser degree blacks), and that this racial worry was the basis for the AMA's anti-abortion platform in the 19th century. The authors argue that the anti-abortion position in the 19th century was a racist pro-WASP position; it's the main point of the paper. The authors say that Anthony and Stanton worked this pro-WASP angle into their rhetoric, giving examples of Stanton doing so (nothing for Anthony), basically calling Stanton a racist for her abortion stance. You didn't mention this aspect at all. Rather, you cherry-picked from the paper to push a positive picture. Binksternet (talk) 22:24, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Here, too, you misrepresent your source, a piece by Kelsy Kretschmer. You cherry-picked the bits you liked but you failed to convey how Kretschmer calls out the false claim by Callaghan. Binksternet (talk) 22:43, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
This was not intentional at all, I was just not trying to create dense paragraphs of information, I just wanted to make quick points. I'll go through and fix this right now! Emilysmall6 (talk) 00:11, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
In regards to the Kretschmer comment, my goal is not to call out the false claim Callaghan uses but simply express to the readers that these are the claims that pro-life feminists operated underEmilysmall6 (talk) 00:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
