The Paradoxes of Pro-Life Feminism
This article examines the case for ¡°Pro-Life Feminism¡± via a close reading of the original argument for it offered by Sydney Callahan in 1986. Although Callahan¡¯s argument has received only positive treatment by pro-life academics, I argue that it fails to establish that opposition to abortion secures all aspects of the ¡°full social equality¡± she advocates. I conclude with some remarks about whether and to what extent feminism is compatible with opposition to abortion.
