Can you be a feminist and pro-life? | CatholicHerald.co.uk

Knowing that Fiorella admires the vision of the early feminists, I am interested to know how feminism moved from being pro-life to being “pro-choice”. She informs me that many people are surprised to learn that “the early feminists viewed abortion as yet another way in which a patriarchal society oppressed women. It was only in the 1960s that women’s groups embraced the idea of abortion as a right.” She reflects that in her view “this was deeply connected with the beginnings of the sexual revolution and the myth of no-consequences sex. A much more comprehensive study of abortion and feminism was written by an eye-witness, Sue Ellen Browder, in Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Woman’s Movement.”

    I am a feminist in the belief that woman should have equal rights, and equal pay. I also am pro life
    after making that terrible mistake myself and having to deeply repent and recognize my wrong for
    40 years after the fact. Jesus may thankfully have forgive me but someday praise God if I am found
    waiting for him wearing my wedding garments I will face to face meet the “children” whom lives I
    selfishly took from them. Many have fallen away into the world of deception but that doesn’t take
    anything away from the true words of God, who was and is and is yet to come. I would not rely on
    anything the Catholic Church says after the scandal that has been uncovered about them and the
    non biblical things the pope has said. Put babies rights first.
