There are feminists who are against abortion rights as well, realizing (correctly) that abortion mills comprise an economic industry in which men reap most of the benefits.

One of the purposes of such groups is to point out that feminists have swallowed a lie in believing that abortion benefits women; it benefits men, if anybody. -- Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois And he is before all things, and by him all things consist...
