Feminists for Life is a non-religious organization that does not support the radical anti-motherhood, anti-human rights (a.k.a. "pro choice") stance of women’s organizations like NOW. They embrace the great advances of feminism, while holding on to their respect for life. From their site:
Did you know the early feminists – people like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Mary Wollstonecraft – were pro-life?
"Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them." – Susan B. Anthony
See this article and video from cbn.com. And check out this quote:
We refuse to choose between women and children. We refuse to choose between sacrificing our education and our careers for our family….Our focus is to systematically eliminate the reasons that drive women to abortion.
The Narrow also has a nice post on Postfeminism and Mommies.
Now, maybe it's due to our low readership, but I can not *believe* that no one has commented on this! So I will, I can't contain myself another minute.
Many evangelicals have a low view of the feminism, but many also see why it was necessary.
However, like many movements that have accomplished their major objectives and are not really needed anymore (like the NAACP), they have gotten taken over by crazy fringe extremist types ("feminazis") who continue to "carry the torch" but go astray from the founders, who were generally more balanced in their approach. This is the type of feminism we can do without – the characature of the lesbian, man-hating, marriage-hating feminist is often accurate when it comes to organizations like NOW.
But I say that just to get the conversation going ;) I'm sure somone will counter that wild contention.
