I
am a fifteen year-old feminist.
I was just wondering if there
are any groups of feminists
who oppose abortion or physician-assisted
suicide or if they are just
isolated individuals. I realize
that the majority of feminists
are probably pro-choice but
I have never known another pro-life
feminist besides myself nor
have I ever heard of any feminists
being involved in anti-abortion
sorts of things. I do hear about
involvement in keeping abortion
legal all the time. So, basically,
I was just wondering...are there
very many people like myself?
And if so, how would I get in
touch with them? Thanks for
your time.

Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM
--and for the sincerity of your
question. I don't know of any
"anti-choice feminists," mostly
because this goes against the
basis of feminism, which is
to empower individual women
to be able to make informed
choices about their lives. However,
I do know of many individual
feminist women who would never
personally choose to have an
abortion--they are anti-abortion
when it comes to their own lives,
but not when it comes to imposing
their views on someone else.
I hope you fit into the latter
category---if so, you will probably
never find an "organization"
organizing this group, but will
likely find an organization
that has these individuals included
in it. Good luck.
