Uh, you mean feminists haven't used free abortion on demand as a galvanizing issue? Or that feminists don't count?
Sure it's a divisive issue. Lots of issues are divisive and rightly so. The critique of capitalism and imperialism are divisive issues. The abortion issue divides people with different views about the social role of women.

Why are there so many sacrifices associated with mothering? Do you think that there are reasons other than fear that might motivate a woman not to become a mother, or become a mother again? Like go to college or learn how to sculpt or, heaven forbid, trade junk bonds? Do you think that maybe men should make a few more sacrifices and women a few less? Or is it just their fate as women to sacrifice?
