From the @AP investigation of People of Praise, the group that demands subjugation to men: "When she told her husband she wanted to wait to have more children...he accompanied her to gynecological appointments to ensure she couldn’t get birth control." https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-donald-trump-amy-coney-barrett-us-supreme-court-courts-1be61f7c342…

On Friday, #PeopleofPraise removed all editions of its magazine, including references to #AmyConeyBarrett, whose family has been active in the controversial group for 4 decades. The @AP had reviewed 15 years of back issues for its investigation.

1. That Is What They Are Coming For Next, Ma'am

Contraception.

[Nevilledog]

4. Yup....disgusting this woman would ever sit on the high court.

[Klaralven]

6. First overturn Roe v. Wade. Then overturn Griswold v. Connecticut.

[Hekate]

24. You are 100% right on this.When anti-choicers started defining the IUD & The Pill as abortifacients

...the writing was in the wall for anyone who could read.

Vile, vile, vile.

[yuiyoshida]

30. Republicans want to PLAY ROUGH???

fucking BRING IT!!

[Lonestarblue]

41. Yes, I think some do want to make birth control illegal.

I saw an ad this morning for telemedicine that gives women more options, though not in a fringe religious group like People of Praise. The website is simplehealth.com, and women can have an online consultation with a doctor, get a birth control prescription, and have it filled by mail.

In some countries, the birth control pill is available as an over-the-counter product because it has been used for so many years and is deemed safe. We need to do the same here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Oh, GAG ME.

They make me sick with their hypocrisy and basic dislike for women.

Amy's just what we don't need on OUR Supreme Court.

[hedda_foil]

3. And by 2 minutes later, AP has taken the article down!

[Klaralven]

10. Barrett tied to faith group ex-members say subjugates women

Coral Anika Theill joined People of Praise’s branch in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1979, when she was a 24-year-old mother of 6-month-old twins. She said women were expected to live in “total submission” not only to their husbands, but also the other male “heads” within the group.

When she told her husband she wanted to wait to have more children, Theill said, he accompanied her to gynecological appointments to ensure she couldn’t get birth control.

“I was basically treated like a brood mare,” she said, using the term for a female horse used for breeding. During her 20-year marriage, Theill had eight children from 11 pregnancies.

28. What I find sad and depressing about that story

is that she didn't just leave him.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Pregnancy seems to be inevitable and determined by a woman's husband and Nature.

1. He won't allow her to use birth control.
2. Therefore the Rhythm Method is employed which is like Russian Roulette with your eggs.
3. Even if the woman/wife defers from sex on her ovulating days, she can't deny him his rights as a husband.

[niyad]

11. "What do you call people who use the rhythm method? Parents."

[Traildogbob]

27. And White people have no Rhythm

Meaning whites continue to be majority race.🤨 Count the kids from Auntie Amy, Romney’s and Santorum alone. Can we say Carrying Capacity. I spent 30 years teaching Wildlife Science and Forest Ecology. Every species that exceeded that limit ended up devastated by disease, to bring the population drastically down............or ended. But you know, just fake news science, libtard cult propaganda.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

43. we used to call it- vatican roulette.

which it is. 7 in my family.

[patricia92243]

7. So, she will be too cowed by her husband to make independent decisions.

[Maraya1969]

19. That alone would bar her from being a judge of anything in my opinion. If she would change her

mind/ruling because her husband told her to do so then she could not be considered independent at all.

[niyad]

8. "Days of the Theocracy" by Kristin Lems comes to mind immediately.

[Klaralven]

12. Not all theocracies prohibit contraception

Iran: A Model for Family Planning?

https://www.theglobalist.com/iran-a-model-for-family-planning/

Abortion is illegal except on narrow grounds.

[BadgerKid]

9. Calls into question which Law she would uphold (among other things).

Disturbing and sickening

[AleksS]

13. So, will her husband accompany her to

the deliberation room to make sure he approves her SC decisions?

[Blue Owl]

15. .

[sheshe2]

17. See my post 16.

[sheshe2]

16. The Tweet is incorrect.

I read the whole article this morning on Apple news. The woman that they were talking about was not Amy Coney Barrett it was Coral Anika Theil and the quote is hers. The tweet from David beard has a link that is listed as not found.

I’m on my phone so I’m not sure how to send you the correct story from ABC news. Theil wrote a book on it... saying that she was treated like a broodmare and in her 20 years of marriage she had eight children from 11 pregnancies.

[Nevilledog]

22. I read the tweet as talking about a woman in the cult, not ACB specifically.

[sheshe2]

26. Well since the AP story was deleted I have assume that 'they' were referring to Barrett.

Seems most in this thread think it is Barrett. While I believe she is an ugly evil person that will undo all the gains that RBG fought for her entire life, it is not her quote and sadly some here think it is.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/barrett-tied-faith-group-members-subjugates-women-73299646

“There’d be open meetings where you just have to stand for the group and they’d tell you all that was wrong with you,” Theill recounted to the AP last week. “And I would ask questions. I was a critical thinker.”

When she told her husband she wanted to wait to have more children, Theill said, he accompanied her to gynecological appointments to ensure she couldn’t get birth control.

“I was basically treated like a brood mare,” she said, using the term for a female horse used for breeding. During her 20-year marriage, Theill had eight children from 11 pregnancies.

Theill, who says she declined to take the covenant, described being dominated and eventually shunned because of the doubts she expressed about the group.

The article is very long and it made me cry. Theil got away, finally...I am horrified that Barrett might actually sit on SCOTUS.

[LAS14]

40. Thanks for helping us stay Dems, who care about facts. nt

[MagickMuffin]

20. WOW APNEWS: Why did you delete your article?

Did someone notify you to do so?

Ya know since you put it out there you knew this was important information WE the PEOPLE deserve to know. Especially since WE have someone wanting a seat at the highest court in the land and she is controlled by her husband.

How does that work?

Will her husband have to see all the court dockets and decide the cases for her. She obviously can't think for herself.

Will her husband write her papers for her?

Will he get a seat on the bench sitting along beside her, giving her the answers while the Court is in session?


These are just a very few and simple questions that SHOULD be asked about her.

[PatSeg]

33. Here's a good link

The link in the tweet didn't work. Interesting article.

[Boogiemack]

21. When will they get around to banning D&C procedure?

This has been used by many privileged women to have their insurance pay for an otherwise early stage abortion.

[ResistantAmerican17]

23. JFC!!! I think that actually fits here.

[DallasNE]

25. Where Does The Pope Stand On People Of Praise?

Are those people in good standing with Rome.

[liberalla]

29. OMG, I thought this was going to be about a daughter... Never thought this was about a wife!!

Wow... this is way too controlling for me to even imagine! Horrible.

[haele]

31. Amy Coney Barret is exempt from such hardships; she's one of the Elite.

Or Elect, or whatever term they use.

She's never, ever going to be a forced broodmare and housewife. Her birth/marriage status, talents, and public charisma make her a "lady" or a "gentlewoman", so while she may experience some unpleasantness if her husband really wants sex, she has as much control over her own sexuality as she personally feels is fitting.

Historically, "ladies" in her situation are raised in an environment that will allow them to expand their personalities and desires just to the point on independence - but not beyond, so that their native intelligence can be honed into a tool for the use of whatever man or association directs their lives. It takes a stronger character than the one she apparently has to break free and be fully independent.

If she wasn't so proudly venial and in such a position to do such damage to humanity in general, I'd almost feel sorry for her. But, her choice to proceed with her nastiness and hatefulness after getting a reasonably good education, therefore, there's nothing to excuse her.

Either she's going to fade into dust as all bodies do, or if the afterlife she purports to believe in actually exists, she's going to eventually meet her maker and be judged in turn; after explaining some reason she thinks is "okay" for all the pain and suffering she and her cohorts are currently inflicting on the rest of creation.

[Lithos]

38. So, she is..

The Tom Cruise of her particular cult? Too sacrosanct to "touch", but definitely not the role model for the average cultist.

And Hi - hope you all are well in SD!

[haele]

42. Yes, just as Phyllis Sharkey was.

Otherwise, how could she occupy a "high position" over men, unless as some sort of pretty distraction in an attempt to normalize her associates. "See, we really aren't that bad -if the little lady has talent, we will encourage it..."

Hi back yourself! San Diego is still a great place to live, even though it's expensive. Laz and I are doing well enough; raising 2 grandkids in quarentine. Luckily, I can telework and he can Zoom tutor.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. And they call Antifa radical?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. This makes me nauseous. And angry.

Do we actually need a new women's liberation movement? The irony that this woman got where she is now because of long fought for rights is just more in our face, corrupt conservatism .

[cwydro]

35. Read up in the thread.

The quote, sickening as it is, is not about her.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. Isn't it about her praise group though?

[moonseller66]

37. Barret doesn't belong in the courts...she belongs in the house...

according to her beliefs...
maybe she should be in the kitchen and laundry room, churn some butter, change those diapers shop for food (or kill it and prepare it),
and make sure supper's on the table each and every day of her life...and don't forget her responsibilities to the brood.

We need the ERA back up for ratification as soon as possible.

[Warpy]

39. Her husband needs to be the one being proposed for the Court

because it seems he is the one who is going to be making her decisions for her.

I thought Lincoln freed the slaves.
