Sarah Palin's Feminists for Life Membership Points to Pro-Woman, Pro-Life View
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Most Americans heard the name Sarah Palin for the first time on Friday as Senator John McCain named her as his running mate.
They're getting a glimpse of the fact that the Alaska governor is pro-life on abortion, but what they may not know is she takes a unique approach to her position.
Palin is a member of Feminists for Life of America -- a venerable but little known pro-life group that focuses on the pro-woman reasons for opposing abortion.
The organization is considered an expert on understand how abortion hurts women and the complications abortion involves from a medical, physical and mental health standpoint.
Beyond that, Feminists for Life has championed the notion that one of the best ways to reduce abortion is to do the kind of work abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood should, but aren't doing -- namely, providing pregnant women with resources they need.
Palin, a mother of five, recognized the need to do more than say she opposes abortion and joined the organization. In August 2006, she said she recognized the struggle young women face in an unplanned pregnancy saying, "no woman should have to choose between her career, education and her child."
For Palin, there is no inconsistency between advocating for women and taking a pro-life position. "I believe in the strength and the power of women, and the potential of every human life.
