Abortion is at the heart of "sexual politics" including a serious struggle between feminists and consevative anti-abortionists. The aim of this paper is to reconsider the significance and limitations of feminists' vindication of women's right to abortion and reproductive freedom argumentation. After surveying abortion's situation generally and defining the meaning of reproductive freedom, the paper discusses the relation of women's freedom and selective abortion and concludes that women's rights and handicapped's rights are not contradictive.
