| Feminists and Abortion | The majority of feminists have made simple admission to abortion the sign of liberation for women. The National Organization for Women constantly describes abortion as “the most fundamental right of women”; that is more significant than the right to vote and the right to free speech. At the present has described the protection of abortion rights as its major priority.
Actually, this is ironic, for the reason that abortion does not liberate women. Quite the opposite, abortion validates the patriarchal world view which holds that women, blocked up as they are by their reproductive ability, are lesser to men.
In actual fact, abortion liberates men, not women. Look through three reasons for this:
 Exertions to set up abortion as a lawful solution to the problems of being a woman in a male-dominated society give in women to pregnancy discrimination. Those feminists who insist the right to abortion grant the concept that a pregnant woman is lesser to a non- pregnant one. They admit that pregnancy and motherhood are disparate to being a completely functioning adult, and that an unencumbered, free male is the scheme for success. By settling for abortion in place of working for the social changes that would make it possible to join children and career, pro-abortion feminists have consented to take part in a man's world under a man's terms. They have disclosed the majority of working women - who want to have children.
Abortion permits men to run away from the responsibility for their own sexual behavior. A man whose baby is aborted is relieved of the obligation that he supports his children.
Pro-abortion feminists have tainted feminism by taking on male standards, which grasp that it is allowed to treat “unequals” unequally, and for the influential to keep down the weak. By accepting this patriarchal world view, these feminists have capitulated to male dominance. Women who agree to conform to the ideals of a world made by and for men are not liberated; they have merely altered their roles within the patriarchy.
Abortion is mismatched with this feminist image. Abortion atomizes women. It puts them against their own children as opponents for the favors of the patriarchy. Abortion is of no great benefit to employers - who do not have to make concessions to pregnant women and mothers, to schools - which do not have to accommodate to the needs of parents, and to irresponsible men - who do not have to entrust themselves to their mates or their children. Women who admit abortion have agreed to sacrifice their children for the convenience of a man's world.
