"Abortion was not necessarily on the minds of the women running the movement for equality. They saw it as a divisive issue for women. Friedan herself was not even in favor of abortion. Her book, "The Feminine Mystique" didn't mention it in its first publication and she has been quoted as saying, "Ideologically, I was never for abortion. Motherhood is a value to me, and even today abortion is not." Additionally, she admitted that many of the founders of NOW had convinced her that abortion was "too controversial" to take on. However, Friedan said pro-abortion men pushed her to include abortion in her feminist "Bill of Rights."
