WESTMINSTER Feminist to speak against abortion
FFL has emerged as the link between anti-abortion and pro-abortion groups.
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Serrin Foster, president of Feminists for Life of America, will present "The Feminist Case Against Abortion" at 7:30 p.m. March 31 in the Witherspoon Rooms of the McKelvey Campus Center at Westminster College.
The lecture is sponsored by the Coalition for the Protection of the Unborn, a Westminster student organization.
Foster's lecture will address 200 years of feminism and explain how the modern women's movement came to support abortion. Her speech has been included in the anthology "Women's Rights," published in 2001 by Greenhaven Press, as one in a series titled "Great Speeches in History."
What it is
Founded in 1972, FFL is a national nonsectarian grass-roots organization that continues the efforts of the early American feminists to systematically eliminate the root causes that drive women to abortion by facilitating practical solutions. FFL has emerged as the link between the anti-abortion and pro-abortion organizations, working on legislative efforts such as child support enforcement and the Violence Against Women Act, and opposing the child exclusion provisions in welfare reform.
