I do not know for sure if the feminist movement has taken a side on the complex issue of abortion. I am sure that this is not true for all feminists, but I imagine that many support pro-choice. This is an issue that I feel strongly about. While I understand that it is the woman's body and she should have a say, I value human life much more. Adoption is a wonderful alternative to abortion.
People spend years on waiting lists, trying to adopt a child.
The fetus is alive from conception and is a life and that should not be taken because a woman wants to exercise her right to choose. I am aware that there does exist unfortunate cases of rape and incest. I cannot speak to these circumstances because I have never been in a similar situation. I recognize the trouble with these instances, but I believe it would only be an additional tragedy to have an abortion. I feel very blessed that my mother was able to stay at home with me as I grew up.
