(4,309 posts)"Feminist" and "pro-life" are mutually exclusive, at least to my way of thinking!

(42,008 posts)I'm having a very hard time with this. It isn't consistent with a liberal position either.

(9,463 posts)Of course, my definition of the term "pro-life" is much different from the current, (and, in my opinion, totally unacceptable) definition.
Pro-life, to me, means to have top notch health care, top notch medical research, ample food, shelter, education, jobs, equal pay, etcetera ....everything it takes to make life not only sustainable, but worth living.
Women, indeed, should have control of our own reproductive systems, as well as the rest of our lives.
Those currently calling themselves "pro-life", are "pro-birth" only.
