Abortion and feminism
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by DuncanD (talk | contribs) at 13:17, August 20, 2010. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Feminist ideology and feminist politics have been a driving force behind the pro-abortion lobby for much of the 20th century.
Early feminists (hardly recognizable today by that term) like Susan B. Anthony and Mary Wollstonecraft, who pushed for the equality of women, recognized that abortion was a moral evil, not just an operation but murder.[1]
However, modern feminists have pushed to reframe the abortion debate around a woman's "right to control her own body" in order to hide the fact that a fetus is a living, individual human being with its own rights and needs, not simply a growth or piece of property.
