Feminists for Life is an organization that claims to be "pro-life" and attracts many pro-life college students to it based on that image. In fact, the organization has filed few-to-none pro-life amicus briefs in key abortion cases since 2000.[1] Moreover, its own list of accomplishments features demonstrates that it has often supported liberal government programs that were not supported by other pro-life groups.[2]
Further research on the Feminists for Life website reveals that:[3]
- the group rarely cites "homemaker" favorably in its publications
- the group's website does not prominently advise college women that delaying childbirth increases their risk of breast cancer
- it is not easy for a website visitor to determine the group's position on euthanasia and abortion after rape
Feminists for Life do have articles disclosing the abortion-breast cancer link. For example, it says that:[4]
- Daling and Brind's breast cancer studies [showing that abortion increases breast cancer] are not the only research censored by pro-abortion groups and the media. Additional studies indicate that women who have abortions may be at increased risk of cervical, ovarian and colorectal cancers.
A noted member of Feminists for Life is Jane Roberts, wife of U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts. Another is Alaska governor Sarah Heath Palin.
