I think partial credit can go to the beautiful Serrin Foster of Feminists for Life.

(Before anyone jumps on me for bringing "feminism" to the thread let me say that S.C Chief Justice John Roberts' wife, Jane, is a member and former board member. The word feminism here is just a stealth tool.)

Starting over 10 years ago she began speaking at college campuses all over the country with her "pro-woman, pro-life" message. She continues her mission today. After learning that most young people enter college either pro-life or neutral on the position and leave as abortion proponents, FFL decided to target campuses.

Serrin is a remarkable speaker; charming, witty and unifying rather than alienating. I've seen her change people's minds in 40 minutes flat.

College is also the time when many young women do have an unplanned pregnancy and abortion. She was smart to target that audience.

But where are the pro-choice/pro-abortion/whatever people these days? They seem to have been almost muffled by their own party.

The word feminism here is just a stealth tool.

I must object. Feminism is at its core the idea that women have the right to direct their lives in the same way as men. Man hating, promiscuity and Steinhamist materialism are not feminist. Saying Serrin Foster's crowd are using the term in stealth is like saying that Rich Lowry is a stealth conservative.

There's a great piece over at National Review about the Sufferagettes and their unswerving pro-life views.
