It is important to understand that there are a lot of women in the world that are enduring so many obstacles. Some of these women are being held captured in their situations and others have the option of leaving their situations but do not know how to get out of them. So the fact that feminism exists allows these women who have no voice to be represented. Feminists are also activists, so for those who help protect victims of domestic violence, they are helping the women who need that encouragement to leave their abusive relationships do so. The feminist who believes it is one's own decision to have an abortion; help the women who decide to terminate their pregnancy do so. It’s about supporting all women and helping one another make valid decisions.
When scrolling through feministing.com I noticed the article, "Australian teen could get seven years in prison for home abortion." The subject abortion is so controversial. Is it okay to have an abortion? Is it wrong because she did not seek medical attention? Whether you agree what the teen did or not she had the right to make that decision. When it all comes down to it, what you believe generates from what you were raised to believe. In her case (probably religion or family played a part to her decision) she could not have the baby and now may face jail time because she did what was in her best interest. I’m not agreeing I can just look beyond my beliefs.
