Pro-Choice author Rosalind Petchesky, in Abortion and Woman’s Choice, says:
“Rather than apologize for abortion, feminists must proclaim loudly—as they did in the late 1960s and the early 1970s—that access to safe, funded abortion is a positive social need of all women of childbearing age.”

Quoted in Camille S. Williams “Abortion and the Actualized Self” First Things November 1991
Abortion is not a “positive social need” for the babies it kills.
