The ugly truth is that the women\u2019s movement has morphed into a giant abortion-rights lobby, demanding abortion far beyond the <\/em>Roe v. Wade trimester construct. <\/em><\/p>\n

Women who oppose abortion are deemed contrary to the very idea of equality. Being a feminist in 2017 equals zero tolerance for anti-abortion views.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are told that legal abortions protect women from deadly back-alley abortions. Feminists, then, should be the vanguard of strict licensing and enforcement of regulations governing abortion facilities and practitioners.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Instead, they object to regulation on the grounds of restricting \u201cchoice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
