(8,155 posts)If you are anti abortion. It's just not possible.
Can you be a feminist? Probably not. Although there have always been a block of conservatives who misappropriate the name by saying they care about women when they really don't. At least not in totality. So you may fall under that category.
Are you a radical feminist? Unequivocally, no. In order to be a radical feminist, you have to totally , uncompromisingly believe in full female autonomy. And that is not possible if you think we should be allowed to prevent women from having an abortion.
What you espouse is a conservative ideology. It is without a doubt misogynist. You are no true ally of woman's rights if you don't believe fully in female autonomy. And if you believe abortion is murder, you at the very least don't belong here because it is never okay to say a woman is a murderer because she terminated her pregnancy.
Sorry to be so blunt but that is the cold reality. You are not a friend of female liberation if you think they should be forced out of having an abortion. You're just not.
