I think that's true of some. Andrea Dworkin comes to mind. In the late 60's a left-wing girl could be considered a poor sport if she objected to being used sexually by any left-wing man who grabbed her, and of course a woman who reported rape to the police was a right-winger, a snitch and a word that rhymes with snitch.

And it was women of the Left who defined the style and content of feminism from the late 60's onward.

It was not so in the 19th century, which is considered the "First Wave" of feminism. Many of the top feminists were pro-life (like Alice Paul, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony) as well as pro-marriage. A lot of interesting history of the Pro-Life Feminists of the 19th century is here (LINK).
