We have a new feature on the New Wave Feminists Facebook page: every Friday is #FionaFriday. Our fearless leader Destiny adds a new quote to Fiona the Feminist Fetus’s little fetal thought bubble, and so far it has provoked a lot of discussion. And a lot of trolls.

The NWF page is intended as an online meeting place for the like-minded (pro-life feminists), rather than a place where we have to constantly defend our beliefs from a barrage of angry fauxminists. We get enough of that in real life.

But something about the recent Fiona image, pictured above, drew the haters out of the woodwork, and had Destiny blocking and deleting ugly comments.

One such comment Des sent to me with the following message: “I found it very intriguing… She straight up outlines how [abortion is] the most extreme form of oppression known to human kind…”

Here were the commenter’s words:

No such thing as a feminist fetus. Fetuses don’t get choices. They don’t have sentience or self-awareness. In order to have a choice, much less make a choice, you need to have sentience and experience self-awareness. At best this image just makes for good stand-up comedy.

My first thought when I read this was: what good is self-awareness if it doesn’t stop you from killing children?

1) Even though the fetus is “alive,” it has yet to “live.”

In response to this pro-life graphic, a pro-choicer wrote:

[I]t is not possible to ‘murder’ something that has yet to live. In a purely scientific sense, the fetus is ‘alive’, but it has not achieved personhood. …

Ok, wait, wait, wait – is this person really arguing that, even if you’re alive, you’re not living (i.e., you’re not really alive)? Even though the definition of alive is: “living: living, especially still living, and not dead”?

I do realize that some pro-choicers believe that there are other reasons why abortion is not murder (I’ve never heard a valid one), but arguing that the baby has “yet to live” is the most illogical I’ve heard.  If you’d like to read why a supposed lack of “personhood” is also not a good reason to support abortion, please see this excellent article.

Online for Life, a pro-life organization that maximizes Internet search capabilities to lead abortion-minded men and women to life-affirming alternatives, announced Monday that it will be celebrating Women’s Rights Week from September 29 through October 5. The celebration is a social media undertaking. Supporters are invited to tweet using the hashtag #WomensRights and change their profile pictures on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to the below image:

Organizers at Online for Life described the event on Facebook, saying the following:

This week, we will share that we are not only pro-life, we are also pro-woman. And in a society that so narrowly ties child birth solely to women’s rights, it’s important that together we share that abortion affects more than just the child’s mother — while respectfully acknowledging that the mother, and every woman in society is impacted by abortion, whether they realize it or not.

We hope to leave this week with all women feeling empowered, and making it known that OFL stands strongly WITH women, before and after birth, in the fight for LIFE.
