Understanding Feminists for Life

Today at school we welcomed Kim Daniels, a member of Feminists for Life, to talk about the sanctity of life. Many students were very worried about having a pro-life message forced upon them, but what she shared was a very positive and inclusive way of thinking of the pro-life cause as a social justice feminist patchwork quilt that people could be a part of as they see fit.

She asked he following questions:

What are the needs of women?
How can we meet them so that women have a real choice (since many women have abortions because they don't have the resources to have a baby)?
How can we support pregnant women, new mothers, and working mothers? Even someone who isn't in other ways "pro-life," can get behind those ideas.
How can we build bridges and not walls?

It's so rare that we hear about pro-life causes through this lens. It was an important unifying assembly for our school.
