An Anti-Hillary, Pro-Life Feminist?
McCain's trophy Veep choice isn't just a pretty mother of five and not Mitt Romney. She's an outspoken pro-life feminist. Confusing concept, we know.
The anti-abortion group Feminists for Life's website is almost coy about Sarah Palin's exact involvement, but here's everything you need to learn—fast—about the group she's tangled up with. Apparently the tactical geniuses at Camp McCain are really counting on all four of America's undecided independent anti-abortion feminists to vote.
Aside: Does anyone but me think the phrase "feminist for life" reads a bit like a jail sentence?

Pro Life. That means no abortion, right? My question to any pro lifer is will you take care of all the unwanted babies who are born to suffer? Love them, nurture them, educate them? If so, we pro choicers are 100% in your camp. No one, not even the most unfeeling person imaginable, wants abortion. But the kids will come and they will need care. Will you step up, pro lifers?

In India, where legalized abortion is never a political issue, but just a given, the majority who are against it are the liberals, feminists, and secularists.
Why?
Because in India they practice "sex selective abortion" and you can guess which sex is the one being aborted.
It's India's version of the patriarchal "religious right" which practices and promotes this type of abortion.
So yeah, pro-life feminists exist, even outside of USA.

"Women will NEVER climb to equality over the dead bodies of their children." Feminist Melissa Simmons-Tulin.
Fighting oppression does NOT include violence on women and the unborn. Enough said.
