Yes, there are women that name themselves as feminists, but they support efforts to restrict and remove the choice of abortion.
The argument of Pro Life feminists is countered by the conditions that were never met.
The laws may be on the books, but sexism still rules women's lives.
The split between the classes has been cut completely.
There is no understanding to connect them.
It is about to get worse.
The Billionaires Old Boys Club is about to take over the White House.
There are women that are going to regret what damage they have done to the safety and support systems for women and children.
Their illusions will become cold hard reality.
Their sisters, daughters, nieces, and friends will suffer because of a mistaken idea, and misplaced trust.
Corporate entities have purchased the right to be named as a living person with rights, but that corporate entity never has to live in a breathing, living body made of flesh.
The corporation entity is indifferent to human suffering.
It does not feel compassion, sympathy, or empathy.
The men who intercede for corporate entries do not have any understanding of a woman's body.
You have lawmaker's trying to intercede for corporate entities that are willing to put the most unbelievable quotes into the record.
A woman's body has a way to shut that (magical ability to resist pregnancy through rape.) down."
A woman so entrenched in anti abortion propaganda, confused a rape kit with getting an abortion in the emergency room.

In 1973, in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that a pregnant woman had a “qualified right to terminate her pregnancy.” States could prohibit abortion only once the fetus was hypothetically able to survive outside the womb, somewhere between twenty-four and twenty-eight weeks, and any such laws had to include exemptions to preserve the mother’s health. In a related case, the Court specified that “health” included “all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age—relevant to the wellbeing of the patient.” Suddenly, abortion was almost always legal everywhere, and activists scrambled to adjust.

The two sides took shape quickly. The Catholic Church had long proscribed abortion, and after Roe other Christian groups joined the fight. By the nineteen-nineties, an ecumenical pro-life alliance had helped make opposition to abortion a defining cause of the conservative movement and, increasingly, of the Republican Party. The Court’s decision galvanized liberals as well. Defending abortion access became a central mission of the National Organization for Women, and in 1985 emily’s List—now the most powerful women-oriented political group in Washington—was founded. (The name is an acronym for Early Money Is Like Yeast.) In 1992, emily’s List helped elect four women to the Senate—all pro-choice Democrats—in what came to be known as the Year of the Woman. The following January, on the twentieth anniversary of Roe, Bill Clinton repealed a Reagan-era ban on government aid to overseas groups involved in abortion.

Aids spread quickly in Africa because Christian activists, Ronald Reagan, and G.W.Bush created pressures that led to condoms not being used.
Suffering and death increased dramatically, when abortion was outlawed.
Severe poverty, complete lack of modern medicine, and the interference of the Extreme Religious Right rolled back the messages of disease prevention, and health of the mother. This resulted in increased deaths of mothers and fetuses.
WTF, Christians ?
Feminists for Life, formed in the aftermath of Roe, opposed abortion while working for women’s rights. And a Catholic-inspired group, Consistent Life, considers itself part of what it calls the “anti-violence community.” Its supporters include Sister Helen Prejean, the inspiration for “Dead Man Walking,” who wrote, “I stand morally opposed to killing: war, executions, killing of the old and demented, the killing of children, unborn and born.”

Using Susan B.Anthony as a source to remove abortion as a choice ?
Without known exception,” FFL President Serrin Foster says in The Feminist Case Against Abortion, “the early feminists condemned abortion in the strongest terms.”
Early 18th- and 19th-century suffragist writings regularly referred to abortion as “ante-natal murder,” “child murder,” “ante-natal infanticide,” or “infanticide,” as Derr points out in ProLife Feminism Yesterday and Today.2 These early feminists regarded abortion as violence against women and their children and attributed its practice to the denial of their rights and a dearth of nonviolent choices for women.
While early feminists were indeed concerned about abortion’s physical and psychological dangers to women, as advocates of abortion point out, they also opposed abortion itself — as their use of the term “child murder” implies.
Sarah Norton, who challenged Cornell University to admit women, for example, wrote that she looked forward to a day “when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with.”3
Like Feminists for Life today, the early feminists saw abortion as a symptom of, not a solution to, the struggles women face. And the early feminists, like FFL, sought to eradicate abortion by addressing its root causes.

"...one of the most misleadingly named groups is the Susan B. Anthony List. As everyone knows, Anthony led the fight for women to vote in the late 19th century and is remembered today as one of America’s most prominent activists for women’s civil rights. So it may come as a surprise that the Susan B. Anthony List is dedicated to getting pro-life candidates elected to office — not an agenda most modern-day feminists would get behind."

"...another quote that’s used in some of the List materials, which is about how no woman should ever have to worry about her unborn child being willed away from her. In the 19th century, a child was the property of the father, and the father could indenture his children — in effect, sell them to another person, whether they were born or not-yet born. So when Susan B. Anthony is longing for the day when a woman’s unborn children cannot be willed away, it’s not really about the “unborn” part, it’s about the fact that a woman didn’t have any rights or custody over her children in the early part of the 19th century."
Susan B. Anthony would want us to make sure every citizen had the right to vote and the ability to participate in the democracy. She believed that was why the revolution was fought in the 18th century on our behalf — so that there would be no taxation without representation. She firmly believed that only until women and men were full equal partners in every aspect of society would we be able to be the democracy that we could become.
