Serrin Foster

Serrin M. Foster has led Feminists for Life of America since 1994. Under her leadership, FFL successfully advocated benefits for poor and pregnant women through the State Child Health Insurance Program, worked in coalition with other women's organizations to defeat the mandatory "family cap" and other punitive child exclusion provisions in welfare reform, and helped to prevent poverty and coerced abortions due to threats to withhold child support through passage of the Enhanced Child Support Act. Serrin served on the National Taskforce Against Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence, which worked to pass the Violence Against Women Act.  The creator of the Women Deserve Better® campaign, Serrin has been an outspoken opponent of pregnancy discrimination and focused on developing on-campus resources and support for underserved pregnant and parenting students. Her landmark speech, "The Feminist Case Against Abortion," has been recognized as one of the great speeches in history in an anthology on Women's Rights.
