Changes

The feminist movement in the West evolved in the 1980s with the rise of [[Post-Feminism]] (sometimes called "[[Third-Wave]]" feminism), which stresses that women have many rights that go unrecognized, often by women themselves, in everyday life, and in the American legal structure. Most members of the feminist movement support reproductive rights currently guaranteed by American law, including the legal right to [[abortion]]. This stance is opposed by many conservatives, leading political commentator [[Rush Limbaugh]] to coin the term "Femi-nazis" to refer to feminist supporters of abortion rights. As of April 2007, women in the US have a legal right to abortion, without any significant limitation. According to a recent poll, 16% of the American public favor abortion being legal in all cases, and 39% favor abortion being legal in most cases. 31% feel that abortion should be illegal in most cases and 12% believe it should be illegal in all cases. 2% are unsure on the issue.<ref>http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm</ref> These findings have been echoed in Gallup polls, which have found that "about 50 percent of registered voters consider themselves 'pro-choice' (defined as in favor of women's choice to access abortion facilities), with about 36 percent as 'pro-life' (against abortion under varying circumstances) and the rest uncertain."<ref>Women's Voices, Feminist Visions, edited by Susan M.

Feminism made a resurgence in the 1990s and early years of 21st century, and the movement is spreading internationally in [[Asia]] and the [[Middle East]].  During the administration of [[Bill Clinton]] these  feminists overlooked President Clinton's apparently womanizing behavior in order to focus upon his attempts to procure federal funding for several of their causes.{{citation needed}}
