What do feminists think about opposition from Christianity and Islam, to abortion?
Muslims believe that abortion is permissible on some grounds for the first 3 months of the pregnancy, as they don’t believe the fetus has a soul until after 3 months. And most people who have abortions are Christian themselves. Religion definitely influences some people to be pro-life, but for many people it’s an ethical issue that has nothing to do with religion. I have pro-life views myself and I am an atheist. I am not sure what feminists think about it, but I do know that they like to paint all pro-lifers with the same brush. They like to make themselves believe that pro-lifers are all right wing fundamentalists who are pro-life solely because of religion.
