		The now-revered feminists of the 19th century were also strongly opposed to abortion because of their belief in the worth of all humans.
		The early feminists understood that, much like today, women resorted to abortion because they were abandoned or pressured by boyfriends, husbands and parents, and lacked financial resources to have the baby on their own.

	Paper on Feminists for Life of America
		FFL is touted as feminist, as opposed to being simply a women's organization, such as some battered women's shelters or women's centers, which cater to the needs of all women, without espousing a feminist philosophy of some kind.
		To reiterate, Feminists for Life is a "pro-woman/pro-life" organization, which means that the staff, officers and members subscribe to what they call "the core feminist principles of justice, non-violence and non-discrimination" (29), while at the same time being fervently against abortion.
		Feminists for Life's definition of the core feminist principles being mainly those listed above, however, leaves one to ask the question, "Where are the women?" Being against violence and discrimination, and believing in justice can just as easily be attributed to leftist politics in general, especially those of the late 1960's.

	Feminists For Life \| All Girl Army
		If you were a feminist, you wouldnt be suggesting that the way for a woman to assert herself is to hop on a table and allow an (unnecessary) invasive surgical procedure to violate the sanctity of her body in order to have larger instrumental value to society.
		If you were a feminist, you wouldnt be suggesting that when the System and the essence of womanhood cannot co-exist in total peace, that the woman should be the one to change, in a manner that requires an invasion of her body.
		I’m a feminist, because I feel that the best way for a woman to assert herself is to gauge her situation with the number of options that are open to her, and to consciously and intelligently choose the right one for her.

	Crisis Magazine
		FFL’s pro-woman, pro-life focus on college campuses seeks not simply to look for handouts from the university for student-parents but to expose the discrimination that pregnant women and students with children face in obtaining resources that are accessible to other students.
		Feminists (for Death) are all right with that: They remember that Simone de Beauvoir even asserted that an enlightened government would make it illegal for a woman to stay at home to take care of her children.
		That is all to the benefit of Feminists (for Death), because they can rely on the residual gallantry of men to give damsels in distress all they want, even when it redounds to the injury of men and of the family itself.

		To be pro-life and feminist - oxymoron or redundancy?
		"Feminists for Life" is not an oxymoron, it's a redundancy.
		As an anti-abortion feminist activist, I am an enigma to many: to the women's right activists who assume a pro-abortion position is a prerequisite for feminism; and to the right-to-lifers who equate feminism with abortion on demand.

	Feminists for (Fetal) Life
		Feminists for Life claims to be both, and if you listen long enough to its voluble and likable president, Serrin Foster, you might almost think it's true.
		FFL is on a major publicity roll these days, because Jane Roberts, wife of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, is a pro bono legal adviser, former officer and significant donor (she gave between $1,000 and $2,499 in 2003).
		It is indeed feminist to say no woman should have to abort a wanted child to stay in school or have a career--FFL's line is thus an advance on the more typical antichoice position, which is that women have abortions to go to Europe or fit into their prom dress.

	FindLaw's Writ - Colb: John Roberts's Pro-Life Spouse The Relevance of Jane Roberts's Politics
		An FFL member could, of course, respond that guilt is an appropriate emotion when one is considering killing a fellow human being, regardless of what has brought one to that place, and perhaps that is true.
		The omission instead seems calculated to mislead -- to give the impression that FFL is a moderate and mainstream group on the issue of abortion, though the organization in fact supports laws that would force rape victims to undergo nine months of pregnancy and the pain of labor, no matter what their wishes might be.
		In calling itself a "feminist" group, FFL is therefore misleading as well, suggesting as the name does that the group's priority is improving the lives of women, rather than curtailing an option, whatever the circumstances.

		FFL is a boutique antiabortion group dedicated to the proposition that you can be prowoman and prolife.
		To many, being a prolife feminist is an oxymoron, though there aren't so many women eager to identify themselves as feminists that I would kick Jane out of the sisterhood.
		But FFL is coy about whether it seeks to criminalize abortion, eerily quiet on contraceptives, and silent about whether it trusts women as ethical decision-makers.
