There are feminists who are against abortion rights as well, realizing (correctly) that abortion mills comprise an economic industry in which men reap most of the benefits. Hence, groups such as WEBA, Women Exploited By Abortion. One of the purposes of such groups is to point out that feminists have swallowed a lie in believing that abortion benefits women; it benefits men, if anybody. -- Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois And he is before all things, and by him all things consist...

Just in case Paul DuBois' reasoning about *abortion being for the benefit
of men only* was not a joke:
1) Not carrying an unwanted baby for 9 months and not giving birth to
it can be a real blessing for a woman.
2) Paying $300 to abortion mills for the benefit of males looks like
a big bargain compared to paying $3000 in birth mills for the benefit
of - who else - males.
