Question

Can someone be a feminist and pro-life at the same time?

Answer 1

Being a feminist is having the right to choose as a women,no matter what the choice is.And although some may say that you can't be both at the same time,I feel that the pro life issue is more of a "value of life" issue rather than about a woman issue.

Answer 2

Depends on the circumstances.

Answer 3

Yes.....and pro-life might more appropriately be called anti-abortion, while pro-choice is, well......pro-choice.

Answer 4

I think so. I think it depends on how one interprets feminism. I think many "feminists" have given feminism a bad name. To me, feminism means the right to voice my own opinion, and if that means I am pro-life, then so be it (I am pro-choice by the way, but not because I am a feminist). E.g I believe I have the right to apply, and be considered for, the job I choose (it doesn't mean I should get the job just because I am a woman, but that I can be considered equally and on merit). I believe, as a woman, I have a right to be safe in my own home and that no-one has the right to abuse me because I am a woman.

However, also I think it is wrong to be aggressively anti-male, as some "feminists" are. Men are our partners on this earth, after all, and it is wrong to alienate them.
