Pro-Life Feminists Return to Feminist Roots
CBN.com -WASHINGTON - The surprise rash of press coverage on the
pro-life group Feminists for Life (FFL) is raising questions about how
a group opposing abortion can be for women's rights.
Serrin Foster, the group's president, said she considers herself both
pro-life and a feminist: "Absolutely, and I always did. In college I
felt all alone, because I identified with so many goals of feminism."
FFL began in 1972, one year before the Supreme Court decided Roe v.
Wade.
The group's founders had been kicked out of a National Organization for
Women meeting for distributing anti-abortion pamphlets. "They felt the
abortion advocates were hi-jacking the feminist movement," Foster said.
Seventies-era feminists advocated abortion as the ticket to workplace
equality. But Foster says that flies in the face of the nation's first
feminists, who opposed abortion as an abuse against women.

As in women CAN be accepted in postions of reasonable importance, as
long as they have a few kids and juggle both sets of responsibilities all by
themselves...

Who fed you this crap? The women's rights movement opposed abortion as an
abuse against women because of the medical conditions that were atrocious,
if any medical conditions existed at all. There was also opposition to
forced abortions. Women have *always* favored free choice in safe, sanitary
conditions (if that be the choice) . Why do I get this sinking feeling
you're not a woman but just another jackass male?
