:Feminists don't like words which imply that there are innate differences between the sexes. This is odd, in light of Genesis 1:27 which says that men '''and''' women are made in the image of God. They are probably confused about human [[value]] and so have decided to slap the label ''equal'' on the sexes without making a distinction between "having just as much value" and "being exactly the same in character and ability".
:Likewise, feminists along with other liberals have a problem with the child-adult dichotomy: think Doonesbury comics, where the little girl in the daycare center celebrates a birth by saying, "It's a baby '''woman'''!" Children are just as valuable as adults, and to the parents who love them often more so. The real hope for ending the [[battle of the sexes]] is the cry heard on a sinking ship, "Women and children first!" Men will sacrifice their lives for those they love even more than their own selves. (As the Bible say, "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for ...")
:If we love our children, even in the womb, then they have the same value as regular, air-breathing out-of-the-womb people who have been born already. The demand for a "right of abortion", right up to the last possible legally-allowed moment betrays an utter lack of love. Who would say, "I'm thinking of having an abortion" one day and "I love this baby with all my heart" the next? It's a sheer impossibility. People are not pets or "specimens of living tissue". Forget about the 'rights' aspect; think rather about Who loves us.
:Thus, feminism is anti-family. At its core is simply "me first, by myself" (with apologies to [[Carly Simon]]). If I get pregnant, oops, we can take a morning-after pill or get an abortion. After all, it's not a [[human]] life, just alien tissue growth (a foreign body). The problem with this approach is it makes it hard to answer the question, "When do I start loving my baby?" If it's only a [[fetus]] and not a [[boy]] until some arbitrary (legal) moment, then what is the basis for developing a parental heart towards my son? Do you start loving the baby when it's born, or when the umbilical cord is cut? How can you love a lump of tissue which, while composed of human cells, is nonetheless non-human?
:It really comes down to love. And we can love other people because God loves us first.
These translations are contrary to the different roles of men and women set forth in the Bible, as in the [[Book of Genesis]] and the letters of [[Paul]].
