To be a true feminist, you must be pro-life. Real feminism<\/a> has been around for centuries and has included heroines such as Joan of Arc, Susan B. Anthony, Louisa May Alcott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton — each of them pro-life. Over the years, the image of feminism has changed drastically. Today, the ideas of what makes a person a feminist are widely debated. However, there is one issue all true feminists must agree on — that abortion is anti-woman.<\/p>\n

Pro-life feminism is the wholeness of the rights of women. It includes the knowledge that baby girls inside the womb are just as important as women outside the womb. True feminists realize that they do not need to \u201cchoose\u201d between their life and their child\u2019s life; they have the power to uplift both. They know that to be a woman is not to be less than men, but to be beautifully different than men, yet equal. They understand that carrying life does not hold them back at all; in fact, it is the powerful uniqueness that God has given them and it is a precious gift. They understand that killing their own preborn children will never be an answer to the challenge of their responsibility. But they see themselves as full and strong to be the inspirers and caretakers of the next generation.<\/p>\n

There are many modern faces of pro-life womanhood that you may know quite well. Whether they consider themselves to be classic feminists or modern feminists, or even if they haven’t personally adopted the label, these women all have one thing in common — the understanding that life begins at conception and the knowledge that abortion oppresses women and their children.<\/p>\n

Celine Dion: The Singer<\/strong><\/p>\n

This world-famous French-Canadian singer was her mother\u2019s fourteenth child. It was 1967, and her mother was considering an abortion. In her distress, she went to her priest. He counseled her not to have the abortion and she took his advice and did not go through with it. Dion became one of the most successful singers of all time, and she is pro-life. Her mother\u2019s experience and the fact that her own life was spared when she was in the womb led her to this.\u00a0Dion explained:<\/a><\/p>\n

He told her that she had no right to go against nature. So I have to admit that in a way, I owe my life to that priest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She went on to express to People Magazine in 2001, \u201cMy success is my family. My life is to be a mom. It is what I enjoy the most. It is my most amazing reward. I will take a chance with my music. I don\u2019t take risks with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many know her best as one of the co-hosts of ABC\u2019s all-women talk show “The View.” Hasselbeck was a longtime co-host from 2003 to 2013. While hosting the show, she was known for consistently arguing against abortion. By the time she left the show to join “Fox and Friends,” she was even more outspoken about her pro-life beliefs. In an interview with Premier Speakers Bureau<\/a> she explained, \u201cI have a real compassionate, pro-life heart and I don’t, for me, I don\u2019t have the ability to celebrate one life by shaming another.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think there is a merciful heart and a compassionate heart that has to be the heart to communicate to someone in a very dark place, in a difficult place who doesn\u2019t believe that there is an option that there are ways, and there are women and men around them who will help them and who want to love on their baby,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
