Here are her candidates. Please vote for your favorite or nominate your own.

Gosnell clients.
susan smith
lizzie borden’s mother
Mother guppies–they will eat their young. Recycling!
Filomena Tobias. Nothing says liberal better than being four times divorced, five times engaged and internationally famous for flipping the bird.
Lucrezia Borgia-a gal who apparently wasn’t shy about letting her hair down at a party.
Queen Athaliah
Sister Souljah!
Mrs. Bates… mother of Norman, and former owner of the Bates motel.
oops, susan smith already nominated.
withdraw her and nominate elizabeth bathory in her place.
You forgot Female Praying Mantis. Also Susan Denise Atkins and Bernadette Dorne.
YGDFT!YLTATSOTE!
Y’all forgot the father of Planned Parenthood Margaret (never met a fetus she didn’t want aborted) Sanger.
I nominate Kate Barker.
How about Planned Parenthood founder Margaret “Give dysgenic groups [people with ‘bad genes’] in our population their choice of segregation or [compulsory] sterilization” Sanger.
But she said that “a long time ago” — the same year that Hank Aaron and Mayor Willie Brown were born.
And PP still gives out yearly awards in her name. The first, in 1966, went to Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m just gonna go ahead and vote. I vote for John Travolta, hands down best mother of all suggested.
I must’ve taken a heck of a long time to research that, since I started before Seanmahair posted.
Planned Baconhood Bacon to seanmahair!
Andrea Yates

We should probably throw Anna Quindlen in, too, since she seemed to think that drowning one’s babies was just fine.
My sister Unnonymiss. http://www.nukingpolitics.com/2013/04/this-blog-doesnt-need-princess-it-needs.html
I know. But you can’t choose your relatives.
