Feminists for Life

[thunderbolt94]

"I find it ironic that this young woman who unequivocally defines herself as anti-choice. I'm not sure how she fits into my definition of feminism."

Really? Projection much? Are you serious? So somehow a woman who claims to be a feminist is being "ironic" when she's being pro-life or "anti-choice"? So she doesn't meet YOUR subjective definition of Feminism, does she? Your last two lines speaks volumes about the disgusting nature of the "pro-choice" ideology.

[TrixieFilms]

@thunderbolt94 I'm not talking about her personal choices or beliefs for her own life. And she can call herself whatever she wants. But, yeah, I so think it's ironic that after she talks about her *political* mission to limit the reproductive rights and freedoms of all women by opposing both contraceptives and abortion, she calls herself a feminist. There is no definition of feminism that includes limiting or totally removing women's civil rights.

[thunderbolt94]

@TrixieFilms

"There is no definition of feminism that includes limiting or totally removing women's civil rights."

If an unborn baby is a person, then that's bullshit! Yes, people have civil rights, but if you take away some else's rights by killing them, then you are no longer supporting civil rights. Unless you can convince a "pro-lifer" that an unborn baby is not a person, then that's ad hoc reasoning at it's finest.

[skatebordstephen]

why is it perfectly fine for women to opt of of motherhood for kids they did not intend to have and men are forced to father or pay for a child they did not intend to have for 18 years.why do fathers have no say why is it the women who choose if a man is going to be a father or not.

[nigen]

'defintion of feminism" had they stayed with the simple, right to vote, equal pay, education and opperatunities, etc. i think feminism would be more revered today, but becasue they wanted the genderwar and refused to kick out their nutjobs and allowed feminism to be view, subjectively and dogmatically, they have pretty much killed their image in the eyes of the moderates.

[StacyFirst]

As a Conservative we must eliminate the Abortion issue from our Platform it is a very deviding issue

[TrixieFilms]

On the contrary. There is a huge distinction here. Her personal belief is that it is not right to abort a baby. That is to be respected because everyone is entitled to their own personal beliefs as it affects their own lives. Her goal is to impose that personal belief on EVERY WOMAN to make sure no one can have abortions for whatever reason. In other words, she wants wants all women to conform to what she believes in.

[billthemisogynist]

@TrixieFilms Well said!!! The lady even said she didn't believe in contraception!! Guess what, women,your going to become public incubators.I also disagree with what the woman said about raped victims. I was raped and got a child out of it,it's also was born with brain cancer and died,I regret not getting an abortion and struggle with it everyday of my life(I'm mentally damaged now).I once was pro-life,now I'm pro-choice!!!!

[joshkilla67]

@billthemisogynist see now you know... AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!!! lol :3

[allhailmegatron1]

@TrixieFilms not just EVERY WOMAN but EVERY MAN aswell it takes a man to make a baby aswell and men are people aswell and should have the same basic human rights as women

women do have all the same rights as men plus they have special rights just for them that men dont have

the law regarding sinlge fathers and mothers is one example fathers have no rights as if they are not people

i fight for human rights

[PoninetheEuroQueen]

@TrixieFilms Perhaps she doesn't see it in the same way you see it. She believes in equal rights for both the woman and the unborn child, she believes every human being has a right to life and a right to the best quality of life. It is SHE who is nonconforming to the stereotypical pro choice feminist standard. To me, this answers one of your initial questions about what has happened to feminism: it has become a platform to stamp a one-sided view on an extraordinarily controversial issue.

[dreamerstays]

How is she anti choice? Its her choice to believe that is not right to abort the baby. Feminists want women to conform to what they believe in..if not then they start attacking the women too.

[557011]

okay that didnt make any seens about it its tru taking abortion is not the best way to go but letting the woman live aftter she got raped and got the best out of her is very plastic this proovs that feminists only take ther own ideas i thoght it was about have equol rights rather then ther own

[waltermh111]

Last line in this video is the perfect problem with todays feminism

I am watching a video from nubiantribesman who has this ideal of what feminism is, despite that the popular feminists of today dont even fit his definition

Feminists used to be about sexual liberty, but now they are about sexual repression, they used to be about womens right to choose their own path, but now they insult any woman who doesnt fit their idea of how women should be

Humanism is the answer, or just being yourself

[mctsikalas]

Susan B. Anthony's publication "The Revolution" frequently wrote about abortion as "child murder" and "infanticide."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote, "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit."

Alice Paul has been quoted as saying "Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women."

I wonder, how do these "anti-choicers" fit into your definition of feminism?

[KateAusten27]

if a child is the result of rape? how can that child ever be happy?

rape is violence. i would not want to find out my dad was a rapist. i think it is best for the mother and child, for the fetus to be terminated. it is not a baby in the first few weeks. with modern pregnancy testing a girl can find out she is pregnant very quick, and if she does get raped then she can have it terminated.

[ChooseLifeIreland]

@KateAusten27 Why kill the unborn because of the crime of the rapist? An abortion is further violence on a woman and means death for an innocent human being.

[BillyBawb]

The idea of an "anti-choice" movement is just as stupid and ridiculous as the idea of a "gay agenda" to convert kids to homosexuality. There is no "anti-choice" movement. It is a minority of pro-life folks who are super-religious and are the loudest. The use of such a moniker demonstrates how ridiculous and intellectually bankrupt the "pro-choice" movement is.

[acarr1998]

There are numerous types of Feminists.

Not all women who are feminists believe in abortion, hate men, don't shave, and are lesbians-those are simply generalizing the view of Feminism. Feminists include Black Feminist, conservative Feminists, and Liberal Feminist. We can not group Feminists as one category.

[ChesterDeLaPoof]

@acarr1998 Except that they are all Feminists. *Picks up rebuttal argument and walks out of the room*

[nadusalove]

@acarr1998

Thankk youu soo muchh for verifying the definition of Feminism.

As a Liberal Feminist I fight for women rightss , MY goal is to achieve quality of women through political and legal reform. IT IS absolutely different from the video above.

[peacefulvines]

We should not work to destroy life, but to help both the mother and the child. That is truly providing a livable choice.

Ending injustice against those in greatest need of our protection will take courage... the courage to accept that we all really know how we should treat a human being: never eliminating or restricting them based on size, dependency, age, or environment.

Real human rights knows no limits on love for life.

[ptsocr]

And you would call yourself anti-life?

[geck0h]

you could just as easily be called anti-life you know.

[peacefulvines]

She is not anti-choice. This young woman is for many choices...but she is against the choice to kill innocent lives. Therein lies the difference.

Conversely, most of those going to have abortions have been shown, in study after study, to feel that they have no choices, no options. That is the most tragic part of the abortion legacy. It has made society lazy. Instead of helping women, we throw tell them to kill their own children.

[TrixieFilms]

@peacefulvines The young woman is not for many choices. She is actively working to pass legislation to eliminate all choices. Get pregnant? Have the baby. That's it. Can't think of any other choices her philosophy would offer. Can you?

Oh, yeah. She could seek out a likely dangerous illegal abortion like her sisters did pre-Roe.

[peacefulvines]

@TrixieFilms The only choice she is working to eliminate the choice to kill human life. The options would include love, selflessness, and the joy of welcoming vulnerable, innocent human life.

Abortion is still dangerous. It always has been. For the rest of one's life, the haunting of the choice is indescribable. Those who choose to abort their infant are 6 times more likely to commit suicide, according to the largest abortion study on record...even in a country where abortion is the norm.

[TrixieFilms]

@peacefulvines Abortion is actually less dangerous than childbirth, not that I recommend one over the otheror either. That's the beauty of choice. A woman can decide when and if she's going to bear a child and no one should be able to force her to do either.

[CpsLock3]

@TrixieFilms Are you sure about that? Because from what I heard abortion has been known to cause post abortion syndrom or P.A.S. for short. Unless you have some relivent and made up statistics or some imaginary strawman mother I fail to agree with you and so will many other mens right activits.

[TrixieFilms]

@CpsLock3 Do you have spell check on your computer?

[CpsLock3]

@TrixieFilms Ad Homenem You have lost this argument good day madam.

[MykeOkslong]

@TrixieFilms childbirth is safer

unless you abort with a coathanger

or a stair case

[MensRifleAssociation]

@MykeOkslong, the woman in the video is spot on.

the "anti-choice" thing is hilarious, are you gonna call yourself "anti-life"..

[dmnashunstashun]

@TrixieFilms Why don't you just admit that you got knocked up and had to hide from your conservative parents? That's why all your whores support abortion. I don't expect you to approve this, but whatever. So long as you read it XD

[TrixieFilms]

@dmnashunstashun No, I never found myself in that situation. Had I ever had an unwanted pregnancy, I think my parents would have been very supportive with whatever I felt I needed to do. I do feel sorry for young women who are in the situation you describe, though. Pregnant, without any support, options or information is not a place anyone wants to be.

[ihateneveen]

@TrixieFilms BULLSHIT Women who have one abortion are more likely to develop breast cancer, more likely to miscarriage the next time she has a baby. Get your facts straight asswipe. Babies get killed in the name of convenience. That's the beauty of "choice"

[TrixieFilms]

@ihateneveen The breast cancer and miscarriage claims have been swirling around forever and are totally false. You can claim it all you want, just like I can claim the earth is flat. 

[DianaBoston]

Thank you so much Trixie for examining the younger generation. I'm 40 and I don't understand why young women are so turned off by feminism or why they can't seem to understand what it even is. How do I see more of your work?

[TrixieFilms]

@DianaBoston Thanks, Diana. If you go to the Trixie Films website (YouTube won't let me put the url here, so just Google it) you'll find lots of information about my films, including the one I'm working on right now on virginity, and a link to my blog The American Virgin.

[TrixieFilms]

@DianaBoston I have to add, though, that there are very many young women who are active and passionate about feminist issues.

[elprincipitooooo]

The deal here is choice, not abortion. That is why the movement calls itself "pro-choice" and not "pro-abortion". It is the choice to have an abortion or not that is the right of women. This is what feminists defend.

[teton99]

One expert who spoke at the United Nations estimates that up to 200 million women and girls are missing worldwide because of sex-selective abortion and female infanticide.

Feminism's Triumph: Exterminating Girls

by Joseph A. D'Agostino

Posted 01/22/2007 ET

[GangaSoota]

feminists destroyed: romance, family, loving relationships, made raising children abnormal, cause false accusations of rape(In most countries this is around 60% to 95% of cases)

[elprincipitooooo]

No. They might have destroyed YOUR conception of romance, family, loving relationships, etc. Now, ask yourself: What defines my particular conception these things? More than likely it's your adherance to patriarchal norms and priorities, which are not in the benefit of women.

[halcyon180]

feminism is misadry

[matchbox555]

this woman is right on

[orgelbot]

Ladies, think harder! Women who are pro-life are the real feminists. Why? The whole concept of abortion and contraception is anti-women. We have fallen for a lie. Men have less sexual responsibility than ever before because of widespread abortion and contraception. They can use you, get you pregnant and then move on to the girl next door without looking back or taking responsibility for the trail of carnage behind them. No strings attached, only to repeat the pattern. Don't "choose" to be used.

[GuitarBlair]

I think this concept of contraception being bad is fucking idiotic. If a woman can't have sex without having a huge risk of getting pregnant than what choice does she really have? Either be a mother and partake sex or don't be and avoid sex. If she enjoys sex than this is just ridicules.I guess if it fits your lifestyle if you WANT to be a mother, but what if you don't want to? I don't want to be a father but I enjoy sex. (Not to mention certain contraception stops STDS)

[Catalinaarco]

Abortion really hurts women, women deserve better, we deserve support, daycare, we deserve that men face up to their responsabilitis, abortion empowers men and slaves women.

[hemsyyy]

thanks for this post

[TrixieFilms]

I am sure there were many feminists at the March personally against abortion but determined to protect a women's right to choose nevertheless. It's a topic we cover elsewhere in the full film.

[gnayler]

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

She classified abortion as a form of "infanticide." The Revolution, 1(5):1, February 5, 1868  "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." Letter to Julia Ward Howe, October 16, 1873, recorded in Howe's diary at Harvard University Library

[gnayler]

Emma Goldman "The custom of procuring abortions has reached such appalling proportions in America as to be beyond belief...So great is the misery of the working classes that seventeen abortions are committed in every one hundred pregnancies." Mother Earth, 1911

[gnayler]

Mattie Brinkerhoff "When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong in society - so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is an evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged." The Revolution, 4(9):138-9 September 2, 1869

[gnayler]

Victoria Woodhull

The first female presidential candidate was a strong opponent of abortion. "The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus." Woodhull's and Claflin's Weekly 2(6):4 December 24, 1870 "Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth." Wheeling, West Virginia Evening Standard, November 17, 1875

[TrixieFilms]

Feminists of that time quite rightly bemoaned the fact that the only option for women if they didn't want to have any more children was abortion, a dangerous and expensive procedure that could lead to infection and death.

They were rightly concerned that women could not control the number of children they had. There was little or nothing in the way of contraception and family planning available to women of the time.

[TrixieFilms]

Childbirth was a leading cause of death for women and overpopulation in the tenements created disease and exacerbated their poverty.

[redgirlinbluedresses]

I find it unfortunate that you only interviewed the most daft pro-life "feminist" you could find. While I consider myself both pro-life and a feminist, I sympathize with the pro-choice stance on abortion. I can see perfectly well how a woman's inability to walk away from a sexual act as easily as her male counterparts makes maintaining her independence that much more difficult. However, there's something seriously wrong when a woman must deny her basic biology in order to get by in a society.

[TrixieFilms]

She was actually the most coherent representative of her group. The others I interviewed were way too 'daft' (as you call her) to put on camera.

I wasn't seeking out or expecting to find feminists among the anti-choice protesters at the March for Women's Lives (where this comes from) but the fact that she readily called herself one made her previous statements all the more surprising.

[redgirlinbluedresses]

If that's the case, then that's terribly.... sad :( I don't quite get how someone could be pro-life but still against contraception. Though I suppose if she was at a march, she was probably a hardcore Catholic. How typical.

[gnayler]

Is it surprising to you that Susan B. Anthony was against abortion? Why don't you read what she said:

"Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!"

[gnayler]

Alice Paul

The author of the original Equal Rights Amendment (1923) opposed the later trend of linking the E.R.A. with abortion. A colleague recalls her saying: "Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women."

[ashaxberry]

I'm pro-choice and I count myself as a feminist.

I don't know that I could ever have an abortion but I have never faced that choice and don't believe I have the right to tell any woman who is facing that choice what decision to make.

Situations are unique and that's why legal - safe - healthy clinics should exist so women can get the counseling and care needed to make the decision and deal with the aftermath of either choice.

[braineatingzombies]

While only girls can get pregnant, both boys and girls can contract STIs. Thus, boys should be encouraged to abstain as much as the girls. While girls have the power to say no, boys have the power to pressure girls into having sex. Passing on the same abstinence message to boys as to girls reduces that pressure, thereby reducing the instance of sex and pregnancy. Pregnancy impacts boys' lives too. Being a father at 14 is as difficult as being a mother at 13.

[Mephistonia]

women complain too much, this is why men cheat.

[hemsyyy]

and when women cheat they are whores right? it has nothing to do with the me right?

[TrixieFilms]

Just a few thoughts:

a) not every woman gets pregnant from consensual sex

b) why is the 'don't have sex' message limited to girls, and not also to boys?

c) the advice would make a lot more sense as: if you don't want to have a baby, use contraception

[RockyBalboa211]

I always thought that the "dont have sex" message was for both sexes.

[Discernaoftruth]

I'm not sure how YOU fit in my definition of "feminism." She is not "anti-choice" she is "anti-killing babies." If you don't want to have a baby....just don't have sex. We need to teach our little girls the art of SELF-RESPECT

[Mikedabuh]

is this because your a guy and not a girl????

[brebre1920]

so why are there gays? hmm interesting

[ajeenyus]

Hilarious Video. Something between 20 and 25 million women have been snuffed out because of abortion "rights." Im pro-choice and pro-life btw. I don't want to see abortion illegal, I would rather have the choice to kill not be made.

[Rachel130989]

lesbians can have children you moron... they just go about it a different way.

[professorfoxtrot]

Since feminists are infertile they must do the mail-order-kid method in which case the kids turns out to be hilarious.

[Zahevti]

The interviewee has a right to her opinion, which also happens to mak known the real agenda of the right-to-life movement. Impassioned by abortion, this woman admits she opposes contraception. Condoms, diaphragms, and voluntary sterilization do not kills babies, and the women I know who avail themselves express no negative effects. Right-to-life, ultimately, is about opposing women's choices and rights. The rhetoric of "pro-life feminism" offers a new board for an old game.

[dajooseovmabawls]

Here in America we live in a feminine society. Everyone values sensitivity while paying little or no attention to the truth. Emotions are more important than facts. Commitment is more important than individuality. We really do not need feminism to remain active in America. If it was any important, it would target the middle east, Asia and Africa where women get killed for their gender, honor crimes and population control.

[garveya1]

Wow this is mind blowing.

She would rather see a grown human, with complex thoughts and feelings be executed over a group of cells with no feelings, thoughts, or ability to contribute to society. Complete idiocy.

She thinks having the pregnancy helps women come to terms with the rape? Are you kidding me? It is a constant reminder of the worst moment of your life. It keeps that burden on your mind heavy forever without the ability to forget it in any way.

I would be embarrassed if i was her.

[BellaLove208]

Pro choice? More like pro irresponsibility, pro selfishness.

[Markohoppis]

If a woman wants to be a baby killer, then so be it. The world always needs more Casey Anthony's..

[cicicitron]

mon "Dieu" elle est trop à côté de la plaque ! ce n'est pas une fémininste ! avec un discours pareil ! I don't know how she fits into my own dfinition of feminism too !

[vastedda99]

The Rape victims are better off giving birth to that child? Are you FUCKING kidding,or what?

[haytubenon]

I don't like feminists either, but I'm pro-choice.

[cicicitron]

why don't you like feminists ? I'm a cool person mate !

[reddeath26]

Your response to their comment made me laugh. I imagine they would have a limited perception of what feminism is. As for myself I am not a feminist, although I agree with them on several issues. I am sadly too much of a pluralist to be considered a feminist.

[Markohoppis]

Feminism is an ideology, not a science. While some of the information in it is plausible, a lot of it is based in theory that can be at times proven false through debate.

Feminism and its members in the past have been shown to use false statistics, promote misandry, and use propaganda to evil ends.

To remain objective and scientific, it is wise to not be a feminist, but a pursuer of truth with the goal if eliminating all human suffering.

[flyingoncloud9]

I do not recall ever seeing feminism defined as a science.

* In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner.

* 232,960 women in the U.S. were raped or sexually assaulted in 2006

Women do not have to resort to convoluted facts when the truth is as frightening as any lie.

Feminism is not an organization with "members", and if there are a number of women publishing information that is not factual, that is scholarly misconduct and should be punished accordingly.

[anguirusreturns]

The drug police are fighting to make something they disapprove of unavailable to everyone.

Nobody's forcing women to have an abortion. That doesn't mean we should condone abortions. Nobody's forcing me whether or not I want to slash up my neighbors. Nobody's forcing me to make that choice. That doesn't mean murder should be allowed.

[TrixieFilms]

Actually, she's fighting for legislation to make something she personally disapproves of unavailable to everyone. Abortion may affect women differently, but no one is forcing anyone to have one. The thing that's harming women is being unable to control their own reproductive system.

[TrixieFilms]

So if a woman wished to exercise her 'free will' under those circumstances and get an illegal abortion, not only would she be committing a crime, but she would be putting herself in great physical danger (as very often happened pre Roe v Wade, and currently all over the world)

[anguirusreturns]

It's obvious now you didn't listen to what the woman had to say other than she's against abortion. Did you even hear why she's against abortion?

Abortions cause psychological damage to women. Did you know that? You can look up 'feminists for life'. They're feminists that have done research- not philosophy, but research- that proves abortion harms women.

You say she's fighting against something she personally disapproves of to be unavailable to anyone.

Well, that's what the drug police do.

[anguirusreturns]

Why do you keep saying 'anti-choice'?

She's against abortion, not free will. Huge difference there.

Now then. She tells you how abortion harms and depresses the women who have had abortions and you don't understand how she's fighting for women? Good God, what is wrong with you? She's fighting against the thing that's harming women. That would mean she's trying to support women.

[camilladeeter]

I don't understand why a person can't be anti-abortion and a feminist. Those psycological findings about women working through rapes better after having a child are true.

Not to mention you don't even bring up the choice of adoption, why must a rape victim completely get rid of the child by abortion instead of getting rid of it through adoption?

I consider myself a feminist and anti-abortion, and know for a fact that you can be both.

[TrixieFilms]

There is a very important distinction to be made between someone who is personally aniti-abortion, and someone who wants to prevent everyone from having an abortion.

One is a personal choice, the other is a political movement.

[aquamammal]

I'm feminist and I say abortion is cool as long as it's within the first 2 trimesters. Then it gets iffy.

The person in the pink shirt doesn't know shit.

XVX for life, R.A.S.H. 'til death

[whoo689]

I decry feminists who hold abortion rights on this pedestal and act like it's the ultimate achievement in equal rights. NOW and other liberal feminist groups need to quit monpolizing the word and realize there are people out there who identify as feminists who don't entirely share their worldview. And that's possible. We can agree to disagree on key issues like abortion. But we all agree on the main things regarding equality. And abortion is just one issue out of many, I might add.

[whoo689]

Your definition of feminism is obviously a very narrow one defined by very liberal ideology. Feminists CAN be non-liberals, you know. Now, I'm prochoice myself, but I'm not be a douche and say that people who are prolife are somehow deranged or aren't "true feminists." I mean, it's a very controversial issue where there CAN be multiple legitimate sides. Prochoicers don't have all the moral highground, believe it or not. The opinions are respectable on both sides and are understandable.

[Georgiapeach770]

This is a random woman on the street and she isn't credible. everything that she claimed was "factual" was mearly her speaking bullshit. How could she possibly know a woman, who has birthed a rape child, comes to terms easier? She isn't a lobbyist she is a random dumbass..

[mevideotaping]

Abortion ends the life of a human being.

[Novjunulo]

Your definition of "feminist" is bullshit. The original feminists respected the rights of the mother AND her child.

[jennywo1]

The issue absolutely comes down to the fact that a fetus IS alive and IS human. Once that is understood, the question is gone he/she has the right to life!

A woman's circumstance, no matter how tragic does not eliminate that right. The baby has a right to live and can be adopted by other parents if the mother can't care for him/her.

It is not a matter of a choice - it's a matter of responsibility to another human life.

[raisismith]

This is nothing more than an attempt to gain acceptance for the globalists eugenics agenda of population reduction under the guise of a woman's right to choose- slogans as such, help to frame the idea that infanticide and out-right murder is socially acceptable.

The woman was correct in her reasoning of why abortion is harmful to women psychologically- unfortunately her ignorance as to why and how the globalists first introduced the idea of feminism, discredits her position on pro-life.

[reyco1982]

In my opinion, feminism is doing more harm in the US (also unconstitutional). I believe in laws that equally benefit men, women, children and elderly(without bias). As true christians we believe that we are commanded to respect and love everyone. In your country there is a lot of male bashing. Your boys there are not given support in terms of reading and language skills. In the future 50% of your citizens will not be qualified in the workforce. Then the US will fall behind Europe and Asia.

[baybeerayper]

If someone wants to take what comes out of their body, stick it in a blender and serve it with a shot of vodka over ice...then thats HER business!

Oh, and it would seem likely to anyone that has life experience beyond their own tiny little neighborhood, that most 'rapes' are just a false alarm. That a real rape is seen as any different than a robbery at gunpoint or a violent mugging defies logic. Then again, logic doesn't make good headlines, does it?

[skamic88]

The whole reason why abortion is so traumatic is because conservatives like her stigmatise it.

[drunkenbutterfly001]

this woman makes me physically ill

[shewee3]

To some degree, the act of abortion doesn't even come in to the pro-choice argument. It's about whether a woman should have the right to decide how she feels about the act of having an abortion. Personally, I don't know if I could do it...but I have no right to make that decision on behalf of some one else.

[obdiane]

This video is so biased towards pro-abortion. There are, Feminist for life that do support contraceptives? I am sure if this; reporter went to a rally of pro-abortionist she would find someone who supports full term abortions for any reason, no questions asked? However, that would not be the opinion of the majority of pro-abortionist, just like this woman does not represent the majority of pro-lifers. I believe in preventing pregnancy with birth control, not destroying it with abortion.

[BEG4MPG]

rape happens in nature but its called survival of the fittest

[professorfoxtrot]

Accused rapists should get the death penalty? Essentially all women would have to do is accuse someone of rape to have them put to death. "Let's put the duke lacrosse team to death? What's that? They didn't do it? oops!"

[loqutor]

There are many women in the Navy who mysteriously get pregnant when combat is imminent. Then, when they are given leave from the combat because of their pregnancy, they often abort their babies.

[anonymousdaemon]

Dishes. Do them now

[MackLeeGreen]

Let me explain to you why you don't understand how this woman's defnition of feminisim matches with yours. It's real simple. Unlike you, she is not afraid to call something what it is. She is against abortion because she realizes it for what it is, murder. She recognizes organizations like Planned Parenthood for being much more about exploiting women than empowering them.

[dachick5450]

all the first feminists were pro-life

[ggfourlife]

So your idea of feminism is being able to kill a baby......

If you are so pro-choice then why do you even care about these pro-lifers, maybe life is their choice.

[vistacruiser00]

wow, the lady in this video is *seriously* brainwashed. She believes women should have rights, EXCEPT for the ultimate right to control our own bodies!! WOW.

[Temptuous2112]

Its cool, I support your right to mutilate your unborn child.

No, she believes women have rights, but no one has the right to kill an innocent human being.

"Anti-choice" my ass.

[blindreaper21]

I believe in equality, cause woman are equally capable of achieve anything they want. I believe that woman have the right to do everything they want with THEIR body... but they do not have the right to do anything with anybody else's body and with this I'm referring to the fetus. the rights of the individual finishes when the rights of another one begins.

The fetus merely shares the womans uterus for nine months and no more.The"its my body" argument really only applies to be used against a man that wants rape or casual consensual sex.For certain womens body are for their own pleasure-without a man.

[loqutor]

But do you believe that men deserve the right to control their own bodies?

we pay more attention to an unconscious embryo than to a fully-developed chimpanzee for example that is used in experiments; and women have to carry that scar for more than 9 months and it affects her life too;i am no depressed at all after the abortion, on the contrary, i feel equal to men because i do not have babies to care for; a child does not need only life right, it needs clothes, food, a shelter; and what about my right to get sterilized? no doctor wanted to do this for me

[floydianworld]

Total BS.

There's a whole lot of crazy going on in that video.

you believe you imaginary deity Jesus is against abortion but those of us who do not have our heads in the clouds know that elections are all about earthly matters like wars and education and the economy. Mentally challenged, conservative zealot right wing nut single issue voters put George Bush into power. The Republican party only use your nativity to keep themselves in power.

So anti-choice to kill an unborn baby is not feminist. So to be a feminist you have to be ok with murdering an unborn child.

I dont see where your logic is. Are you saying that to be a feminist is to be a murderer or at the very least be a harbinger of murder.

"Mothers that give birth to babies that were concieved in rape have an easier time coming to terms with their rape."

There are no words.

the dignity of a human being does not depend on how the person was conceived.

If you take a $100 dollar bill, crumble it, tear it up, tape it back up..it's still a $100.

A child conceived via violent means does not make that child less human. Yes, it's hard, no doubt...but killing the child doesn't heal anything either
