"In late January, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators gathered in D.C. for the March for Life, marking the 47th anniversary of the SCOTUS decision legalizing abortion in Roe v. Wade. The theme for this year was 'Life Empowers: Pro-Life Is Pro-Woman.' nationalreview.com/magazine/2020/…
“In conjunction with the event, the March for Life organization produced a series of articles highlighting how the earliest feminists in the U.S. — suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, & Alice Paul — opposed abortion, calling it an exploitation of women.”
“This has long been a central contention of the pro-life movement, perhaps best synthesized in a line coined by Feminists for Life president Serrin Foster: 'Women deserve better® than abortion.' “
"Foster visits colleges to deliver a speech called 'The Feminist Case AGAINST Abortion.' In it Foster contends that feminism properly understood 'embraces basic rights for all human beings w/out exception' and 'rejects the use of force to dominate, control, or destroy anyone.' “
"Along with many in the pro-life movement, she objects to the way that feminism and abortion rights have become synonymous in the U.S. since second-wave feminists drove pro-life women out of their movement in the 1960s and '70s.”
"'Who's having abortions? The majority of them are the financially challenged,' Foster says in an interview with National Review. 'In this country, it's students. It's young women who are...”
“... challenged in the workplace. We are here to end the feminization of poverty that leads to abortion. We want to make abortion unthinkable through resources and support.' “
