If you feel guilt then that is from you not me. Im just asking a question,

Answer 1

Abortions are readily available in every first-world country in the world. don't even slap "american" on "feminist" to indicate that it is some sort of distinctly american female trait to want freedom of choice. freedom of choice is sought in all corners of the world. legal and safe abortions are legal in all countries except the ones which are run by dogmatic, religious rulers.

whether you agree with abortion or not, it is not going away. it never will. if you are against it, don't have one. don't tell other women what they can or cannot do with their own bodies.

and, if i must answer your question, feminists may not have envisioned a specific number of abortions that would be performed, but what they did envision was a country in which abortions were safe and accessible. i'm so thankful that their vision is now a reality in the United States.

Answer 2

Actually, American women envisaged a world with RU-486 so abortions wouldn't even be necessary. But the government discontinued research on that, so we're stuck with this.

Answer 3

This may sound harsh, but those were unwanted potential children, and more likely than not they would have been brought into crappy lives because of this. there have even been studies that concluded that abortion helps keep crime rates down. Also, not all feminists are pro-choice. Feminism is simply about equality between the sexes. You could even be a feminist that believed lesbianism was wrong. You would be an idiot, but you could still be a feminist, despite the recent hijacking of the "feminist movement" by lesbians (I love y'all to death but ya have hijacked the "movement" lol)

If you think abortion is murder, don't have one.
I personally don't think it is murder. I think something that can't think, is basically on the same level as a fish, is not a human and can't be murdered.

Incidentally, are you a vegan? Probably not. So...why do you support the mass murder and horrid lliving conditions of the meat/diary/egg industry?

Lastly, there are too many people on this planet anyway, we're over populated. Let's focuse on helping the actual people who are alive. Support stem cell research!

P.S. If you say adoption would be better, I honestly must say. yeah, if it's a white kid. But black kids are much more likely to never get a home and lead a less than ideal childhood bouncing from foster home to foster home. There is a myth that there are so many families waiting in line to adopt kids. there truly is, but WHITE KIDS. because these families are WHITE.

Answer 4

Funny, because the Supreme Court that decided Roe was all male.

When even a SCOTUS justice appointed by Bush calls Roe "the settled law of the land" I think it's time for you to move on to a more "viable" cause.

Chevalier, Dummy, that is because that "historic" case wasn't about Jane Roe, it was about the 14th amendment. The reason abortion was legalized had zero to do with the woman who was seeking an abortion and everything to do with equal protection under the law for all women, at least that's how Justice Burger's all male court felt.

Not only that, my little busy body, Chevalier, but Roe didn't grant her the abortion. The district court had already granted McCorvey (Roe) an abortion. The case that went before the Supreme Court was only to decide the Constitutionality of abortion. The
(again) all male court said that a ban on abortion violated women's constitutional right to privacy.

One would think if you were going to be so bold as to stick your nose into the private affairs of women that you'd at least understand the history of the case.

Answer 5

show me a form of birth control that was 100% effective, we might be able to talk. Show me that every man who fathers a baby is a stand up perfect fellow and we might be able to talk.

Learn to reach across the divide and find solutions to problems rather than coming up with 25 word opinions and postulating them as fact. Find ways ( and chasity is not one of them) to prevent pregnancy that people can live with.

Answer 6

Norma McCorvey may now claim that she was coerced into joining this cause but let me point out that she lied about having an abortion because she was covering up an illicit affair. She also had three children out of wedlock. I will also say that the main reason she hasn't been more embraced by pro-life groups is because of rumors that she is a lesbian.

Answer 7

Feminists have never cared what costs others have to pay for their childish egotistic mania even up to and beyond the destruction of civilization itself.
Two million abortions are of no consequence to feminism when it comes to personal responsibility. Virtually all abortions are solely to prevent women from being held to the responsibility of another decision they made.

Answer 8

"When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." -Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Letter to Julia Ward Howe, October 16, 1873, recorded in Howe's diary at Harvard University Library

Alice Paul, the author of the original Equal Rights Amendment (1923) opposed the later trend of linking the E.R.A. with abortion. A colleague recalls her saying:

"Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women."

Answer 9

It's funny how they make the Roe vs Wade decision seem so historic. But the very woman they used to win their decision now says she was coerced into going along with the lawsuit and now regrets her decision very much. Funny how the femmes never mention that little factoid. Feminist want to be the center of the universe and anything that could disrupt that desire is going to suffer for the attempt men,other women and sadly even children born or unborn doesn't matter. I honestly think they would kick a bunny to death if the thought it would make the world revolve around them.

Answer 10

You're generalizing. Not all feminists are pro-choice.

Not all non-feminists or anti-feminists are anti-choice.

Edit: Hmmm, not fitting your stereotypes about feminists, when some are anti-choice? Here's some Facts:

I wouldn't exactly call some of these groups feminist either, (United Church of Christ or United Methodist Church), and they're in a list of moderate and liberal churches that are pro-choice: http://www.religioustolerance.org/***_hist1.htm

Here's a book containing the stories of Christian women and abortion:
