On the day after the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, thousands of women will descend upon Washington, D.C. to march in solidarity with one another, sending a message to the new administration. However, this march in support of feminism is not open to all women.

On Monday, it was revealed one of the sponsors of the march was removed from the event list due to outrage over the sponsor's pro-life views. The group, New Wave Feminists, based out of Texas, is comprised of pro-life women who oppose Trump's election. The organizers of the march claimed the platform is a pro-choice one which advocates for "open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people," which is ultimately why the pro-life group is no longer welcome to participate. Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America are sponsors of the event, but sadly there is no room for a pro-life group at a march representing and celebrating the diversity of feminism.

The mission page of the event states, "We stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families – recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country" – yet they fail to include women of diverse opinions. The mission goes on to decry the intolerance in the rhetoric throughout the past election cycle, yet they fail to see the intolerance in their actions. Instead of finding commonality with women of different perspectives the left has once again shown its intolerant hand: They are only tolerant of their own platform and politics.

However, the most ironic part of this is the fact the organizers "call on all defenders of human rights to join us," just not defenders of the rights of the unborn. Being pro-life doesn't mean you're anti-woman; it means you choose life and defend its sanctity. The logic that being pro-choice means you can only choose abortion seems flawed. Isn't choosing to carry a pregnancy to full-term a choice as well?

It is disappointing women the ideological right, left and in between can't come together and find common ground on issues outside of abortion without having to agree on that one issue to start. Instead of celebrating differences and the right to express those differences, progressive feminists would rather shut out women who don't think like them. The exclusivity of this liberal feminist club will only work to the detriment of women everywhere because they fail to recognize the importance of entirety of issues that matter to women.

These progressive feminists don't seek to empower women; they seek to tell women what's best for them, based upon the heavy influence and powerful presence of their large funders, abortion giants such as Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America. Sadly, progressive feminists can't understand how pro-life women also want women to have access to health care; we just don't believe abortion is health care or that taxpayer dollars should fund it.

What's more, Gallup polling shows a majority of Americans (including women and young people) agree with imposing limits on abortion. In fact, 52 percent of young people support a 20-week ban on abortion. Polling data continues to show strong support among young people for pro-life issues, yet pro-life voices are largely ignored within the feminist movement. The progressive feminists tend to believe all women think and feel the way they do when in fact differing opinions on the issue should be welcomed and encouraged.
