Abortion is a reflection that our society has failed to meet the needs of women. Feminists for Life is dedicated to systematically eliminating the root causes that drive women to abortion—primarily lack of practical resources and support-through holistic, woman—centered solutions. Women deserve better than abortion.

Our efforts are shaped by the core feminist values of nondiscrimination, nonviolence and justice for all.
