Hi,

We look forward to meeing other feminists to speak about pro-life feminism,
early 19th Century feminist pioneers being pro-life and what consistent ethics really means - i.e. opposition to war, execution, globlaisation and abortion.
Also we'd like to introduce the idea of a Women's Forum similar to the one in Australia -

WOMEN'S FORUM AUSTRALIA

Our Objectives
1. To promote the advancement, well-being and freedom of all women;
2. To conduct and sponsor research about social, cultural, health and economic issues relevant to women;
3. To provide education to women and men about social, cultural, health and economic issues relevant to women;
4. To promote the equal participation and contribution of women and men in the work place and public life;
5. To promote a positive balance for women and men between family commitment and participation in the work force;
6. To mentor women in their contribution to public life;
7. To promote initiatives that work for improvements in the lives of all women, in particular women from disadvantaged and marginalised backgrounds including women with physical and intellectual disabilities, women with mental illness, refugee and migrant women and indigenous women; and
To empower women in their contribution to media and public debate and the formation of social policy.

Issues
WFA takes a strong evidence-based approach to issues that have special impact on women.
Faking It: WFA's groundbreaking and innovative new research paper reflects the body of academic research on magazines, mass media, premature sexualisation of girls, and the sexual objectification of women. And all this in a glossy and very cool magazine-style publication!
Real Choices: WFA believes that no woman should ever have to choose between her own welfare and that of her unborn child. Our focus is on social policy initiatives that offer women genuine choices and restore their freedom to be mothers. Our research paper, Women and Abortion: an evidence based review, brings together research on the reasons why women seek abortion, and the effects of abortion on their lives.
Hands Off Our Ovaries! Cloning research requires hundreds of thousands of eggs from women's bodies. Egg extraction procedures carry serious risks to women's lives and health. WFA is part of an international coalition calling for a moratorium on research using women's eggs and exploiting women's bodies.

Peace Love and freedom

Pro-life is a moot point given the current extreme human over-population of the earth. How much lebensraum do you want? The more space we take up, the less habitat for other creatures which is just as much of a problem as global warming. Also do try and remember some of us don't actually like or want children and therefore an abortion for us is a cry for freedom, not a decision we wring our hands over.

Abortion is a personal choice - personally, I'd rather create a world worth living in before bringing any new people into it. If you don't want to have an abortion, that's fine and you shouldn't be forced to, but calling for the state to impose new restrictions on women's ability to choose doesn't resemble any kind of feminism I'd want to be associated with.
