Summary:
"For the great majority on both sides of the abortion debate, the idea of a pro-life feminist is the ultimate contradiction in terms. Abortion has become so central to feminist thinking that
women
who affirm their belief in both
women
's empowerment and the inalienable right to life can find themselves viewed with suspicion and hostility from both sides. Yet the author of this book is indeed a pro-life feminist, and her insightful analysis of contemporary issues can provide the basis for common ground between those defending human rights. This book unashamedly calls mainstream feminists, journalists and Western politicians to account for their silence and - in some cases - vocal justification of the persecution of
women
because of an absolutist loyalty to abortion. It asks uncomfortable questions to those who claim to believe in
women
's empowerment: Where is their passionate outrage when Chinese
women
are forcibly aborted and sterilised? Where is their concern for the thousands of baby girls killed by abortion every year because their lives are held as worthless simply for being female? What about the thousands of
women
used as surrogates for wealthy Western couples, treated as chattels and denied their most basic human rights? But the book also tackles difficult issues for the pro-life side--the need for a sensitive, realistic approach to problematic pregnancies and the importance of confronting the continued exploitation and abuse of
women
within a sexualised society. Pro-life
feminism
is not only possible, it is vital if the complex struggles facing
women
are to be adequately met.
Abolition
of
Woman
is a rallying cry to feminists to stand with the pro-life movement, fighting to build a society in which
women
are equal and every human life is protected."--Back cover.
