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.  Hence, groups
such as WEBA, Women Exploited By Abortion.  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.
