Anyone who says they're a "pro-life feminist"

[redqueen]

is clearly confused about the meaning of one of those terms.

1. Yes indeed,

they don't live in the same neighborhood.

2. I have never understoood that.

"Feminist" and "pro-life" are mutually exclusive, at least to my way of thinking!

[gollygee]

3. You can't possibly be a feminist

and also believe that women's bodies are public property, outside of the control and ownership of the women themselves.

4. It's more bullshit

I'm having a very hard time with this. It isn't consistent with a liberal position either.

5. I am a pro-life feminist!!

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.
