“Take a moment to spell this out for her when she gives you the final decision; it may just sway her over to your side,” Snow advises.
CNA sought comment about the column from Serrin Foster, President of Feminists for Life, who initially characterized the column as “a primer for coerced abortion masking itself as choice.”
She said the content of the column “isn’t anything new,” but it does document the pressure a pregnant woman can face from “fearful fathers, embarrassed parents, well-meaning friends, people in medical settings in high schools and colleges who don't see a way for her to have a baby and continue her education or career.”
"It's very reminiscent about what we hear from women who have been to clinics to have an abortion," she remarked, adding that former abortion clinic workers have told similar stories.
In Foster’s view Snow’s column was “absolutely vile” but speaks to “the need of the pro-life movement and the pro-woman and pro-man movement to speak about the importance benefits of having children in their lives.
“As feminists we understand that people all the time have been able to overcome challenges in their lives. People make decisions and she will be forever connected to this child no matter what the outcome.”
Explaining how to speak to a pregnant woman in distress, Foster told CNA “we need to say, 'we can do that'. And your life will be enriched by the experience of being a mother or by knowing that your son or daughter is okay through adoption."
"Your life will take a detour, but it doesn't have to be a dead-end."
She charged that Snow is “robbing” women of the experience of being a mother and is doing a “disservice” to men who will be “robbed” of the experience of being a father.
However, Foster also advised sympathy be shown for the columnist.
“We don't know what has happened to Isabella in her private life to take out whatever she has on other women. We need to reach out to Isabella. Isabella is a person too.

"In a weird way she is alerting women and girls by documenting what has happened all the time to women and little girls especially from older men or people from clinics."
"The best part about this is that Isabella has documented it and now we can warn women and girls that this is a routine - no matter where you hear it from."
CNA also contacted Concerned Women for America but did not receive a reply before publication.
