From Consistent Life – “Feminism and Abortion, the Great Inconsistency”

From the weekly enewsletter of Consistent Life, Peace and Life Connections

Daphne Clair de Jong

“Feminism and Abortion: The Great Inconsistency”

reprinted in ProLife Feminism: Yesterday and Today

    “In the same way that many opponents of slavery and racism have failed to apply their principles to the question of women’s rights, so feminist writers have a peculiarly dense blind spot about the unborn. No argument in favour of freely available abortion is tenable in the light of feminist ideals and principles. And all of them bear an alarming resemblance to the arguments used by men to justify discrimination against women.”
