Can I be a pro-life feminist?
Do you feel like your desire to support women and the lives of the unborn are at odds? Pro-abortion voices have convinced us that the pro-life movement is harming and deceiving women. You are not alone.
But there is so much commonality in promoting women’s rights, providing adequate resources and being pro-life
You’re not alone. There are many feminists who advocate for women and for the right to life.
Including some of the most famous feminist activists in history. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and their organizations often opposed abortion as being against women. Feminists for Life today follows in their footsteps and argues that abortion is the result of women not having good choices. For years, Feminists for Life has been redirecting the debate by working with those on both sides to address the root causes that drive women to abortion.
Abortion is a symptom of not meeting the needs of women.
When women cite their reasons for having an abortion, they reveal a list of reasons that usually comes down to a lack of resources and support. Often women who feel pressured into a pregnancy decision feel as though they don’t have the agency or support to choose a different option other than abortion. Therefore, the simplicity of being pro-choice isn’t really offering a comprehensive choice at all.

Pro-Life Protects Women
The feminist movement advocates for the rights and equality of women, and for pro-life activists, this includes girls in the womb. By advocating for life, we fight for these women to have the chance to be born and enact change on the world.
Historically, abortion and infanticide has disproportionatly targeted females. Today, this heartbreaking trend is still prevalent in parts of the world and is being noticed here in the US. Advocating for the right to life is to advocate for thousands of women that won’t get the chance to live otherwise.
Pro-Life empowers Women
When we talk to women who have had an abortion, we usually hear “I didn’t feel like I had a choice,” or “no one asked me: what do you want to do?”
Why is abortion normalized as the only choice for an unplanned pregnancy?
We think women need access to counseling and medically accurate education in one of the most vulnerable times in their lives. That is holistic care.
Is abortion is a right?
We feel that ending the life of another human being is never a right.
Does abortion bring hope?
We’ve seen women wrestle with enormous pain, guilt and regret after an abortion. We heard women say, “why didn’t someone tell me?” True hope is compassion, love and support amidst difficult circumstances.

Being Pro-Life in a Post Roe v. Wade World
After the supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade, the work of pro-life activists got even more important as abortion laws became determined state by state. In Colorado where Alternatives works, women began traveling from nearby states to receive a legal abortion. More women than ever before need access to support in order to be empowered to choose life.
