HOT TOPIC: From Verily, What the Women’s March on Washington was like for Pro-Life Women
Last week, the Women’s March made headlines for its debate over whether to include pro-life feminists among their partners. After a pro-life group called New Wave Feminists was accepted among the partners, The Atlantic published a piece praising the organizers for being inclusive of women’s differing opinions. But shortly after receiving criticism on social media, the organizers removed the group from its list. Since then, outlets ranging from the New York Times to Saturday Night Live have put the spotlight on the concept of pro-life feminism. Actor and comedian Michael Ian Black tweeted from the march, “I saw a group of marchers wearing t-shirts that read, ‘This is what a pro-life feminist looks like.’ They seemed happy.”
