The Historic Role of Feminism in Abortion and the Sexual Revolution (It’s Not What You Think) with Dr. Carrie Gress

How are feminism and the sexual revolution connected to each other? Dr. Carrie Gress makes a case from documented historical facts that feminism and the sexual revolution are one and the same. Dr. Gress has written three books on the history of feminism — focusing much of her study on early feminists and feminism's first wave. Her work looks at the fruit of the ideology by examining the questions, "What results has feminism produced in our world?" and "Has feminism provided what it claimed it would give women?" Dr. Gress shared in her book, "The End of Woman," examples of feminists from the first wave who were involved in the free love movement and who had abortions in the late 1800s to cover up their extramarital relationships. She shows us through her work that feminism is not an ideology that we can "rinse clean" of the aspects we don't like — such as the occult or sexual deviance — Dr. Gress makes a case that feminism is rotten to its core. If the pro-life movement wants to bring about a total, global end to abortion, we must honestly examine the role that feminism has played in changing people's views around men, women, children, the family, work, and human sexuality. When we look at history, we find that feminism isn't part of the solution to ending legal abortion. Instead, feminism itself is actually responsible for the international toll of over two billion abortions that have taken place on the global stage. If this is the case, we need to adjust our approach to ending abortion — stopping the promotion of feminism, and choosing to promote Christianity as the "women's movement" and the movement that generally uplifts human dignity and human value in a world that destroys thousands of preborn people every day. What if feminism isn't the solution to the abortion crisis, but Christianity is?
