Dear
Becca,
Thanks
for your note to feminist.com.
In general, feminism is about
ensuring that each individual
has enough information to be
able to make informed choices
about their life. This extends
to right to have or not to have
abortion. Even if individual
women wouldn't choose this for
themselves, feminism is about
ensuring that they have the
right to choose it--therefore,
engaging in the anti-choice
movement is antithetical to
feminism. There is a group called
"pro-life feminists or feminist
for life"-- but I think it's
a contradiction in terms. Though
it's okay for individual women
to choose this, it's not okay
to engage in a movement that
is actively denying this choice
to other women.
I hope that this helps,
Amy
