Slate has asked their favorite "lady luminaries" the provocative question, "Who gets to be a feminist?"  You probably can guess where this is going, and Nora Ephron cuts right to it:

"I know that I'm supposed to write 500 words on this subject, but it seems much simpler: You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion."

Thankfully, most of the views offered are more nuanced than Ephron's, but the nuance is more along the lines of "Who am I to judge?" rather than any deliberate recognition of feminism's potential harmony with a belief in the sanctity of life.
