A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed. Their unspoken reasoning is quite simple.

Abortion is profoundly anti-women.

I am a feminist and I am totally pro-choice, but what's funny is when you say that people assume that you are pro-abortion.

I mean what are we going to do - go back to clothes hangers?

Decades ago, women suffered through horrifying back-alley abortions. Or, they used dangerous methods when they had no other recourse.

People ask me a lot, 'Well, can you be pro-life and be feminist? Can you be conservative and be feminist?' And I think that, yeah, maybe personally you can be those things.

Women, justifiably, feel vulnerable at a time so many years after their journey for reproductive freedom started.

Donald Trump's insulting comments about women go hand in hand with his plans to defund Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who will end legal abortion.

Placing Margaret Sanger on the $20 bill will remind us of what she has done for women and our reproductive health and how the fight for reproductive freedom is an ongoing one.
