Why there are so many american women that are anti-abortion? The fact that all the major anti-abortion organizations are run by women completely baffles me. What do you think is behind their choice?

Thanks for the great answer. I was thinking about that religion might have a word into this trouble, but couldn't think of all the steps in the pathway. What i read is that on of the basis of pro-life movement is dealing with post-traumatic stress. They thought that this movement could turn the tide against the psychological and physical damage of abortion. While this is a weak argument, i can see how for some women would think that the abortion could come in conflict with feminism, with the fundamental truth of fetal life. I guess for anything you can find an explanation, it all depends if you find people to believe in it. Quite sad. I do think that men are generally responsible for this manipulation. Its weird that they have actually achieve to have women vs women.
