To the Editor:
I am sorry that “anti-abortion” women feel alienated from feminism and do not feel welcome at the Women’s March. In answer to the question of whether these woman can be feminists: You absolutely can be a feminist and be morally opposed to abortion.
However, if being “pro-life” means that you are working to make abortion illegal again, for my daughter and my granddaughters and all American women, the answer is no, you are not a feminist. You are telling me that women have neither the right nor the legal standing to make their own medical decisions.

Note from KBJ: Just call it a decision; leave the word "medical" out of it.
