I will do the same for my teen boys.

My mother marched my 15-year-old horny butt to the GYN for birth control the MINUTE I had a date, and she bought me condoms (which, I can honestly say, were not used for some time. Teens don't automatically start having sex when given access to birth control, contrary to what fundies think). 

My mother did the same thing and still I had sex for the first time three years later.

tax payer dollars that fund planned parenthood do not pay for abortions. It’s against the law. ?‍♀️ Defunding PP would take away services for poor people. Who is going to make sure those services are provided?

who is attacking her family? I’d say not many. Who is she attacking? Everyone that does t believe what she does. She is not being targeted for being Christian or for being white. She is being targeted for being a hateful racist bigot.

Her attempt at rebranding is pathetic. She got Facebook famous by being The Activist Mommy aka The Anus Mouth. But now that she’s a single mother of TEN, she likely just wants to be Elizabeth Johnston Ministries. Plus she’s likely looking for a tax exempt status since she’s such a fucking cheat. 

Wait, did she and the weirdo doctor break up, or am I confusing her with someone else?

Yep. Look back on the thread for the exact date of when she announced because she’s deleted the post now. She says her husband was a serial cheater and first cheated on her 16 years ago. But went on to have like 7 more kids with him after his first time cheating. She played the victim and she has obviously poisoned her kids against him. I don’t know if any of the kids actually see him at all. They are fighting out custody in court.

I’m sure she gets message after message of people telling her off. It’s completely unsurprising. She puts out so much hate and anger out in the world and of course it all comes back to her. That’s just how it works.

I totally missed this. Do you have a rough memory of what month to get me started?

March 13th. The 3rd page of this thread. It was right when Corona was ramping up in the US. I personally believe she made the announcement when everyone was talking about corona so people wouldn’t focus on the fact that a woman who screams about family values is getting a divorce.

I’m posting this on TAM’s thread because TAM is friends with Flip and she frequents this same abortion provider along with Lisa Metzger. One of the escorts/counter protesters decided to start reciting WAP to Flip Benham . Sorry but I laughed.

Does anyone know what exactly Elizabeth Johnston's church affiliation is ?  I know that Flip Benham is Free Methodist , from the Wikipedia article I read .  I was just wondering if TAM is likewise so .

She’s some variety of Pentecostal, I don’t remember what kind.  I also don’t remember how I know this about her.

[Lgirlrocks]

how about the black lives outside of the womb? Do they matter? Eventually these babies are going to be born. Will they matter then?

Here is all that I have found out about him so far ; he's affiliated with Operation Save America https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Save_America , and has engaged in such disorderly disruptions as this https://www.religionnewsblog.com/18725/people-unclear-on-the-concept , even certain Reformed Calvinist fundamentalists have come out against him https://pulpitandpen.org/2017/09/20/false-teacher-of-the-day-11-ante-pavkovic/ .   Is there anything else about him that I am still missing ?

That covers it. He also has a Facebook page under the name Charles Finney. His profile pic is a Coach Dave Daubenmire shirt about Jesus. He is well known at the Charlotte abortion clinics.

It sad that Rusty took OSA headquarters back to Texas where he lives. It used to be in Charlotte. It doesn’t make a huge difference. But I hate how there is so much focus on this one Charlotte clinic. It is so bad. I feel awful for any woman seeking care in that clinic.

I’ll be honest. I haven’t felt blessed to live in America for awhile. Our president is the absolute worst in history, systemic racism is everywhere, Covid numbers are higher than many other countries, conspiracy theories are spreading like wildfire, and I could go on and on. I’m not a hater of my own country. But I’m incredibly disappointed by so much of it.

No, I haven’t watched the movie. But TAM lies all the time. She calls movies with sex scenes pornography. So I wouldn’t take anything she says seriously. The movie isn’t glorifying the sexualization if little girls. I believe the movie focuses on it being problematic.

So I stayed up last night and watched the movie. It’s French. Europe doesn’t have the same hang ups that we have in America with sex. The movie was totally different then what I thought. The main character is Muslim, which I would assume be the problem that TAM has with the movie. This girl wants to fit in with the cool girls and starts learning their dances and watches a video with strippers dancing. The movie ends with the main character realizing she is still a child and doesn’t need to grow up like that.

I hate when the fundies, evangelicals, and Christian conservatives jump to conclusions without even educating themselves first. They do this with so many movies and shows. It just makes a show or movie more popular because people want to see what all the controversy is about. So the director can thank TAM and her ilk for the free publicity.

Well her followers are canceling Netflix because of it. Netflix has a lot of other shows. They also aren’t christian so they will put out shows and movies with a lot of different perspectives and world views.

What I’ve found is that people are often saying they are canceling Netflix over some stupid show when they were already planning on canceling it or they never had Netflix in the first place. There are so many boycotts these idiots call for and it never works. Very few people follow through. Especially when it’s a something they don’t want to live without.

My favorite “CANCEL NETFLIX” story is the fundies who got infuriated over Good Omens (which is a joy and a delight and worth the 20 years I spent waiting for an adaptation of my favorite book).
A petition went up and people cancelled their Netflix subscriptions in protest.

Good Omens was on Amazon Prime.

Quote

The French film, Cuties, is being praised for its critique of the hyper sexualization of young girls - and the consequences of that - as they rush to become adults in the age of social media.

It began several years ago when filmmaker Maimouna Doucouré was at a neighborhood gathering and her jaw dropped. A group of young girls in revealing outfits came out on a stage and performed a choreographed routine.

Doucouré says they couldn't have been more than 11 years old.

"And they were dancing very sensually, sexually and I was very disturbed about what I was seeing."

But instead of passing judgment, the self-taught writer and filmmaker says she wanted to understand what she was seeing. She dove into research, interviewing more than one hundred adolescent girls over the course of a year and a half.

"It's a period [that's] very specific," Doucouré says, "where you are not any more totally a child and you are not an adult. You are looking for yourself and everything is changing very fast."  

Doucouré combines her findings with elements of her own upbringing in her first feature length film, Cuties.

It's about what it means to be an adolescent girl in the age of TikTok and Instagram, where 'likes' have become the currency of self-esteem and keeping kids away from anything on the Internet is near impossible.

The film is told from the perspective of 11-year-old Amy who, like Doucouré, is the daughter of Muslim Senegalese immigrants growing up in northeast Paris.

Amy is unimpressed by the traditional path for women laid out by the matriarchs in her family.

As her strict Grand-Aunt tries to groom her to become a wife and mother, Amy watches her own mom struggle to hide tears when she gets a call from her husband in Senegal. As is tradition for many men there, he's taken a second wife.

To escape the drama playing out at home, Amy befriends a group of popular girls at school who have formed a dance troop called 'Les Mignonnes' or 'the Cuties.'

Amy spends hours nailing down choreography to provocative music videos so she can impress her new friends.

Filmmaker Doucouré says social media adds a layer of complexity to what it means to be an adolescent in 2020.

"Today you have that exposition of your body on social media," Doucouré says, "and you also have this big competition of finding 'likes' and followers and that is for me a new kind of finding love."

The film provokes many questions, but doesn't provide many answers. And that's the intention, says French film critic Jennifer Padjemi, who says it's also important that Cuties was made by a woman who comes from the same background and culture as her characters.

"It's really important to have more coming of age movies in France in general and not with only white casts," Padjemi says, "because its important to represent children of every background because even if we live the same way we don't have the same cultural path and its really important to see this specific age between childhood and teenage-hood and I hope Maimouna open the door for other movies like this."

That door almost didn't open.

Even though Cuties has received widespread acclaim in France and won a Sundance award, a publicity gaffe from its US distributor, Netflix, almost cost the movie its reputation.

After Netflix published a marketing poster showing the 'Cuties' twerking in revealing cheerleading outfits without any context, an online petition calling for the cancellation of the US release received more than 140 thousand signatures.

Doucouré was accused, on social media, of being a pedophile and even received death threats.

She says she hopes those who signed the petition will watch the film.

"And after that, they will see that we have the same fight and we are all together about that issue of hyper sexualization of our children and protect our children."

In the end, Doucouré says her film is about a choice.

"The choice [of] who we want to become, who we want to really become and as a child, take the time to be a child. Keep that innocence to grow up in our society."
