The whole feminist movement is as confusing to me as the pro-life movement.

The right to choose is not just about the right to have an abortion, its about the right to carry a pregnancy to term sanely and with health of mother and proto-being in tact. Too many people in both camps forget that part.

Both movements have too many fingers in too many pies, too broad to have a clear-cut idea what any one person who identifies this way actually thinks / feels / believes, too many exceptions and exclusions. As well as too many stereotypes to live up or live down or explain away.

You're posing this question about feminism and pro-life; you could also put similar arguments about the environment, animal rights, alcohol consumption or gay rights and what to do about either - pro or con.

This is why I consider myself a hardened old-time suffragest, which doesn't exclude men as much from advocating for women's rights and continued fight for equality, and emancipation (of which the right to choose one's fertility and marraige status is definately apart of).
