It seems to me that liberal feminism is mainly about making men happy. Obviously making men happy is not a bad thing, but its not what feminism should be about for me and honestly, near all lib fems I know spend their time going on about how prostitution is such an empowering job, and stuff like that

I agree with you about a woman's ownership over her body and her right to choose but I will say I can also see the view that the child is alive and the other side of the coin. I've been pregnant and felt that life moving in my body. Personally I could never have an abortion.

Also we have lots of contraceptive options nowadays and I think that should be encouraged more.
